DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD
16 MARCH 2O04
4�. Public Hearing: Preliminary Plat Application #SD-04-10 and Final Plat
Application #SD-04-11 of City of South Burlington to amend a planned unit
development consisting of a 115 Hoot high, 1,500,000 gallon water storage
tank. The amendment consists of expanding the water tank to 2,100,000 and
increasing the height to 150.5 ft., 1215 Dorset St:
Ms. Kupfersmith asked about this being a conditional use. Mr. Belair referred to Table
C-1, Public & Quasi Public Uses. Because this is part of a PUD, it becomes a permitted
use.
Ms. Kupersmith also asked about the impact of the height of tank on the neighborhood.
Mr. Dinklage noted the Board is being asked to grant a height waiver.
Mr. Boucher asked. if would make better sense to share the curb cut. Mr. Dinklage didn't
know why the City and the developer of the adjacent property chose not to do that.
Mr. Fay responded to the changing of landscaping from white spruce. Those trees are
more of a maintenance issue because they get sap on the tanks which has to be cleaned
off. Mr. Dinklage reminded the applicant that they will have to have a landscape
professional prepare the landscaping plan. Mr. Belair said that has already been done.
Mr. Boucher moved to approve Preliminary Plat #SD-04-10 and Final Plat #SD-04-11 of
City of South Burlington subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Ms. Quimby
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Preliminary Plat Application #SD-04-08 and Final Plat Application #SD-04-
09 of City of South Burlington to amend a planned unit development
consisting of a 500,000 gallon water storage tank. The amendment consists of
adding a second 500,000 gallon water storage tank, 23 Harbor Ridge Road:
Mr. Dinklage referred to a letter from John & Elizabeth Leclair, neighbors of the site,
who have concerns with the elimination of shrubs which will make the tanks more
visible. The applicant noted that there are security concerns since 9/11. He also thought
that what was removed was overgrowth, not the original plantings. Mr. Belair said he
was comfortable that screening will be adequate.
Mr. Dinklage noted that the Leclairs also questioned the color of the tanks. The applicant
said the Dorset St tank is the preferred color. They would like the same color for these
tanks, a grayish tone with blue. However, the old tank isn't due for repainting until 2014.
He said he would talk with CWD about it.
Ms. Kupersmith felt there should be more screening. After a brief discussion, the
landscaping was left unchanged.

16 MARCH 2O04
Mr. Boucher moved to approve Preliminary Plat #SD-04-08 and Final Plat 4SD-04-09 of
City of South Burlington subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Ms. Quimby
seconded. Motion passed 5-1 with Ms. Kupersmith voting against.
6. Public Hearing: Final Plat Application #SD-04-13 of F & M Development
Co., LLC, to amend a planned unit development consisting of: 1) 283
residential units in six buildings, 2) subdividing two parcels of 24.458 acres
into eight lots, 3) a 90,000 sq. ft. building which will include 11,000 sq. ft. of
retail, 150 seat 7500 sq. ft. restaurant, 70,000 sq. ft. general office, 2500 sq. ft.
drive -in -bank, and ten residential units, 4) a 7200 sq. ft. addition to an indoor
recreation facility, and 5) an existing 16,000 sq. ft. television studio and office
building. The amendment consists of the substitution of exterior siding
materials on a portion of the building, 409 Farrell St.:
Mr. Farrell explained that there was a concern with long-term maintenance. He showed a
sample of the siding and a sample of the brick.
Mr. Dinklage asked Mr. Farrell to bring the Board up-to-date on the T-intersection. Mr.
Farrell said he had met with Bruce Hoar. They feel the intersection is too "generous," but
there is an issue with truck deliveries. They have talked about a paved island that can be
driven over but would normally be driven around. Mr. Farrell said they will install this at
their expense.
Ms. Kupersmith asked about the cars parked on the road. Mr. Farrell said that is now
illegal and cars will be towed if they park there.
Mr. Farrell indicated they are still working with Cathedral Square on a senior project.
They might also do some medical offices.
Mr. Kupferman moved to approve Final Plat Application #SD-04-13 of F & M
Development Co, LLC, subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Ms. Quimby
seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
7. Sketch plan Application #SD-04-07 of Piaazgalli Properties, LLC, for a
planned unit development consisting of the construction of a 28,000 sq. ft.
general office building, 118 Tilley Drive:
Mr. Bouchard explained the 24 ft. proposed setback when the requirement is 35 ft. He
said the existing building was built with the old setback (the zoning on that property was
changed). Members had no problem with this as the only abutter is a parking lot.
Mr. Bouchard said they are requesting 130 parking spaces. There are 141 next door.
They have requested a change there to some medical office which will require more
spaces and they are maxed out there. If the building they are now proposing went to
medical offices, they would need 140 spaces, so they are asking for 130. Mr. Bouchard

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD
20 JANUARY 2004
Mr. Dinklage suggested the Board agree to a 5 ft. side setback and then have staff work
out the legal conditions so it can become 3 ft.
Members agreed to eliminate condition " V.
Stipulation #4 was added as follows: The house shall not have a rear basement access.

planned unit development consisting of a 500,000 gallon water storage tank. The
amendment consists of adding a seconded 500,000 water storage tank, 23 Harbor
Ridge Road:
Mr. Elliott asked if they can combine preliminary and final plats. Mr. Dinklage said this
can be done at the applicant's risk.
Mr. Elliott noted they are requesting a height waiver. The new tank will be the same
height as the existing tank.
No other issues were raised.
7. Sketch Plan Application #SD-03-83 of the City of South Burlington to amend a
planned unit development consisting of a 115 ft. high 1,500,000 gallon water storage
tank. The amendment consists of expanding the water tank to 2,100,000 gallons and
increasing the height to 150.5 ft., 1215 Dorset Street:
Mr. Elliott noted there had been a concern expressed with aesthetics. He noted that no
one can see over the tank at this time. They will raise it from the bottom and the new part
of the tank will be on the bottom. It will not restrict views any more than now.

Pursuant to Section 12.03(C)(2) of the Land Development Regulations, the Development
Review Board shall not approve any development proposal on lands within the Bartlett Brook
Watershed unless it includes a stormwater management system designed to prevent an
increase of the peak discharge and velocity of stream flow downstream of the development site.
Accordingly, the applicant must provide a site plan and stormwater management system design
details that comply with the requirements of Section 12.03(D) of the Land Development
Regulations. In addition, the applicant must submit the stormwater management plans to Heindel
and Noyes for inclusion in the Bartlett Brook Watershed computer model. Suggested

The applicant has submitted the stormwater management plans to Heindel and Noyes for
inclusion in the Bartlett Brook Watershed computer model. A report from Heindel and Noyes
approving the stormwater aspect of the proposed project was submitted with the application
(attached).
SUBDIVISION CRITERIA
Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations,
subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions:
Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of
the project
According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the existing
public water system shall be extended so as to provide the necessary quantity of water, at acceptable
pressure.
The proposed structure will serve as a supply source for the City of South Burlington's municipal
water supply. Therefore, this requirement is not applicable to the proposed project.
Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during and after construction to
prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the
subject property and adjacent properties.
The proposed project shall adhere to standards for erosion control as set forth in Section 16.03 of
the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. In addition, the grading plan shall meet the
standards set forth in Section 16.04 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations.
1. The proposed project shall adhere to standards for erosion control as set forth in Section 16.03
of the South Buffington Land Development Regulations.
The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to
prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads.
Access to this property is via a 12' wide gravel access drive extending from Harbor Ridge Road.
The proposed project will utilize this existing access drive. The proposed project will not create
significant traffic, and therefore staff feels the plans are sufficient with regard to this requirement.
The project's design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams,
wildlife habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on
the site.
There are no wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat, or other unique natural features on the subject
property.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLIN& N 4 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
ldrb\sub\south burlington\harborridge water\final
The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in
the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in
which it is located.
According to Section 4.02 of the Land Development Regulations, the purpose of the R2 District
is to encourage moderate -density residential uses.
Staff feels the proposed project is in compliance with the stated purpose of the R2 District, as
outlined in the Land Development Regulations. Obviously, the water storage tanks are not a
residential use; however, they will provide an increased water supply to accommodate residential
development.
Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities
for creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas.
Staff feels the layout of the proposed project meets this requirement.
The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or (designee) to
ensure that adequate fire protection can be provided.
The South Burlington Fire Chief has reviewed and approved the plans.
Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and
lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such
services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners.
This requirement is not applicable to the proposed project.
Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards.
The City Engineer is in the process of reviewing the final plans for this project. He did not raise nay
major issues when he reviewed the sketch plans. There have been no major changes since the
sketch plan review, so staff does not anticipate any significant issues to be raised by the City
Engineer. Staff will forward the City Engineer's comments to the applicant as soon as we receive
them. These comments shall be incorporated into the plans.
2. The plans shall be revised to incorporate the requests of the City Engineer, prior to recording the
final plat plans.
3. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the
affected district(s).
CITY OF SOUTH BURLIN� . _�N 5 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burl ington\harborridge water\final
The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives for the R2 District, as outlined in
the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the proposed project is in conformance
with the following objectives relating to public utilities, as outlined in the South Burlington
Comprehensive Plan:
• maintain the quality of existing utilities or services and remedy recognized deficiencies;
• expand public utilities and services that compliment and reinforce the land use and
development recommendations contained in Chapter V of the Comprehensive Plan;
• adjust the capacity of public utilities and services in concert with that of other municipal
services to ensure a stable and appropriate rate of development.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site
plan approval. Section 14.06 establishes the following general review standards for all site plan
applications:
The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from
structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and
adequate parking areas.
The applicant has submitted building elevation plans and visual simulations for the proposed
project. The proposed structure will be large. However, it will be the same dimensions as the
existing water storage tank on the site. In addition, there is a significant amount of natural
screening on the site and the both the existing structure and the proposed structure are below the
existing tree canopies.
The site provides adequate planting areas, and the applicant is proposing to plant twenty (20)
coniferous trees, five (5) deciduous trees, and eleven (11) Virginia Creeper Vine throughout the
site.
Pedestrian movement and parking areas are not applicable to the proposed project.
Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable.
Parking areas are not applicable to the proposed project.
Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and
scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or adjoining buildings.
The proposed structure is going to exceed the 35' height maximum for structures in South
Burlington. The existing structure is 60' in height and the proposed structure is 60' in height. Thus,
the new structure will be 25' taller than the maximum height limit in the City. The applicant has
requested a height waiver from the Development Review Board pursuant to Section 3.07(E)(2) of
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINt JN 6 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burlington\harbonidge water\final
the Land Development Regulations. The Board has to find that the proposed structure is in
conformance with the planned character of the R2 District and that it will not detract unduly from
public scenic view sheds. The subject property does not fall within any of the City's Scenic View
Protection Overlay Districts, so the structure will not detract unduly from public scenic views from
adjacent properties or public streets and walkways. In addition, the existing 60' structure has been
there since 1971, so it has been part of the landscape for over thirty years. The applicant has
submitted visual simulations of the proposed structure (attached). Staff strongly supports this
height waiver request.
Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior
alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground.
Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common
materials and architectural characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens and visual
interruptions to create attractive transitions between buildings of different architectural
styles.
The applicant is proposing landscaping on the site. Outside of that, this requirement is not
applicable to the proposed project.
Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to
existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed
structures.
The proposed structure will be identical in appearance to the structure that currently exists. The
proposed structure will be the same style, color, and height of the existing structure.
In addition to the above general review standards, site plan applications shall meet the following
specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the Land Development Regulations:
The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting
properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial
of collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to
improve general access and circulation in the area.
The access to the proposed project is via a 12' wide access drive off of Harbor Ridge Road. Staff
does not feel it is necessary to require any additional access to abutting properties, due to the
nature of the project.
Electric, telephone and other wire -served utility lines and service connections shall be
underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to
have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site.
CITY OF SOUTH BURL.4 . ON 7 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burlington\harborridu water\final
Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any
recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with
opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s).
The proposed project does not include any dumpsters or other facilities to handle solid waste.
Landscaping and Screening Requirements
The applicant has stated that the proposed project will cost $280,000. Pursuant to Table 13-9 of
the Land Development Regulations, the proposed project will require a minimum landscaping value
of $8,100. The applicant has submitted a planting schedule on Sheet 1 of the plans. The applicant
has also submitted a landscape budget to accompany this planting schedule. This budget was
prepared by North Country Landscape and Garden Center and indicates that $11,170 of
landscaping will be planted on the site.
4. The plans shall be revised to indicate the name of the landscape professional who prepared the
landscape plan, prior to recording the final plat plans.
The City Arborist reviewed the plans and provided comments dated March 12, 2004 (attached).
5. The plans shall be revised to comply with the requests of the City Arborist, prior to recording
of the final plat plans.
Staff recommends approval of Preliminary Plat application #SD-04-08 and Final Plat application
#SD-04-09, conditional upon the applicant addressing the numbered items in the "Comments"
Section of this report.

• Soils on this site tend to be heavy clay with poor drainage. Red Maple is not well
suited to these soils and while Sugar Maple and Red Oak are growing naturally on
the site, different species may be easier to plant and establish. Possible
substitutions include:
1. Burr Oak
2. Swamp White Oak
3. Chinkapin Oak
4. American Elm `Princeton' or `Valley Forge'
5. Kentucky Coffee Tree
• Canadian Hemlock doesn't tolerate poor drainage. Better choices include:

Mr. Raymond J. Blair
Administrative Officer
City of South Burlington
Department of Planning & Zoning
575 Dorset Street
South Burlington, VT 05403
Dear Mr. Blair:
We received your letter of March 2, 2004, advising us of a Public Hearing on Tuesday,
March 16, 2004. We will be out of town so we will not be able to attend the meeting. I did call
your office and spoke with Brian who informed me that we could submit a letter for you to read
during this hearing. We would appreciate it if you could read our letter in our absence.
We first want to say how deeply disappointed we were to learn that they want to put
another 500,000 gallon water storage tank next to the existing one on 23 Harbor Ridge Road. As
I'm sure you are aware, these storage tanks are quite an eye sore and when we built our house on
24 Harbor Ridge Road 10 years ago, we were well aware of the existing tank in our front yard.
We never thought there would ever be the possibility of another one on this property. Brian did
spend some time with me on the phone explaining the process that has been going on and how the
decision was made to install another one at this site.
We are fully aware that at this point in the process, there really is nothing we can do
because the decision really has been made to install another one. We would like to suggest that
they change the color. This color does not blend in well with the landscape surrounding the tank
and makes it even more unpleasant to look at. Also, we would hope you recommend that they
spend quite a bit of money on landscaping. There use to be a lot of shrubs camouflaging the
current tank, but in the last couple of years, they have come and cut down a lot of it out which
only makes the tank stand out even more.
We would also like to say that we find it amazing that the city can come in and put in an
infrastructure of this magnitude into an existing and beautiful residential neighborhood. As you
are aware, we pay an extremely high amount in our property taxes to live here and you can come
in and do what you want to decrease the value of our home, at the same time our taxes continue
Mr. Raymond J. Blair

to increase. We had our house refinanced last year and they actually deducted money because of
the existing water tank in our front yard. We can only imagine what they will do when they see
two of them.
Thank you for letting us voice our opinion on this very disturbing situation.
Sincerely,
David & Elizabeth LeClair

NEW TWIN ALLEN ROAD WATER STORAGE TANK
LIST OF WAIVERS
1. Maximum building height per Section 3.07 (E) (2) of the Land Development regulations.
2. Bicycle rack as required under Section 26.253 (b) of the zoning regulations.
ALLEN ROAD TWIN WATER STORAGE TANK
Article 3.07 Height of Structures
E. Height Waiver for Structures in the R1, R1-PRD, R1-Lakeshore, R2, R4, R7,
Lakeshore Neighborhood, Queen City Park and Southeast Quadrant Districts.
The existing Allen Road water storage tank is located in the R2 district and was built in
1971. The existing tank is approximately 60 feet high (including the rood and a new twin
tank of similar size will be constructed adjacent to the existing tank. The new twin tank is
planned to exceed the maximum height for structures specified under 3.07 (D) as part of
a planned unit development. A waiver from the maximum height requirements of this
section is requested from the Development Review Board.
Drawing No. 2 is enclosed which indicates the elevations of the existing and proposed
tanks. The new tank will be similar in type and size to the existing tank. Co -location of
the new tank was selected as the preferred approach to minimize the impacts on public
views. This site is located lower than Spear Street and the location of the new tank will
not restrict the views of adjacent properties.
View perspectives taken on October 8, 2003 are enclosed which indicate the existing
and proposed views. The existing tank was not visible from Spear Street and it is not
expected that the new tank will be visible from this location. From Allen Road looking
north, the existing tank is visible through the large mature trees. The new twin tank will
be visible from this location but will be in a similar line of sight as the existing tank. The
existing tank is barely visible through the existing trees looking east and south from
Baycrest Drive and Road. The new tank will be slightly visible from these locations, but
is well hidden by the existing trees.
Article 14.10 Conditional Use Review: General Provisions and Standards
The Development Review Board shall review the proposed conditional use for compliance with
all applicable standards as contained in these regulations. The proposed conditional use shall
meet the following standards:
(1) The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the
planned character of the area as defined by the City of South Burlington
Comprehensive Plan.
This site has been the location of an operating water storage tank since 1971
Maintaining and providing adequate long-term water storage capacity at this site
is a necessary public use.
(2) The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the
proposed use is to be located.
(a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities.
Expansion of the water storage tank is necessary to provide adequate
long-term distribution storage for the City "Main Service" water
distribution system. This expanded water storage tank does not impact
educational facilities.
(b) The essential character of the neighborhood or district in which property
is located, or the ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses.
The site is located in the Residential 2 district and the existing water
storage tank has been a prominent feature at this site for the past 30
years. Addition of a new twin tank at the site will not impact the ability to
develop adjacent property for appropriate uses.
(c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity.
Once the expanded water storage tank is operational, there will be no
traffic impacts to roadways and highways in the vicinity.
(d) Bylaws in effect.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
bylaws in effect.
(e) Utilization of renewable energy resources.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
renewable energy resources.
(f) General public health and welfare.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
general public health and welfare.
Article 14.11 Conditional Use Review: Specific Uses and Standards
A. Public Utility, Power Generating Plants, Substations, and Transmission Lines
Review of such use shall include a review of 1) the availability of alternative sites and 2) an
evaluation of impacts and proposed mitigation measures related to safety, aesthetics, and
noise.
A "Feasibility Study of Water Storage Tank Sites" was completed in November 2001 to
investigate alternative sites for expansion of the water storage for the "Main Service"
area. Suitable sites were limited to locations with an existing ground elevation above
320 feet which is required to construct a storage tank which will maintain minimum water
system pressures. A total of three (3) sites were evaluated for short and long term
storage needs. Each of these sites were compared based on nine (9) criteria and
ranked accordingly. For fulfilling the long-term storage requirements, use of the existing
Allen Road site was determined to be the preferred site.
This site has been the location of a water storage tank since 1971. Co -location is
preferred to utilize existing property, access, and infrastructure. By re -using existing
infrastructure, the impacts on safety and noise are minimized. The existing tank is lower
in elevation and is therefore not visible from Spear Street. Other than the northerly view
from Allen Road, the existing tank is well screened by mature trees in the west and
north directions. These existing trees extend above the tank and will be maintained to
the extent possible. Addition of a new tank of similar type at this site minimizes the
impacts on the aesthetics as shown in the enclosed view perspectives.

South Burlington, Vermont
BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
November 21, 2003
The proposed water storage tank is located next to an existing water storage tank at 23
Harbor Ridge Road in South Burlington. The proposal includes construction of one
tower with a total site area of 0.92 acres. Impervious surface area will increase from
0.03 acres to 0.06 acres within the 0.92-acre parcel. Under existing conditions, land
coverage of the property includes grass, woods and grass combination, as well as
paved areas. The hydrologic soil group for this area is C.
Stormwater runoff from the site resulting from the 25-year storm event was evaluated
using the Bartlett Brook Stormwater Model. Peak runoff from the site is not predicted to
increase despite the minor increase in impervious surface areas associated with the
new development. Flow rates within the associated downstream reaches are also not
predicted to increase.
Given the fact that this proposed development does not pose any significant alterations
to the Bartlett Brook flow regime, we recommend the City approve the stormwater
aspects of the proposed project with no modifications.

BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS -
November 21, 2003
1. Heindel & Noyes (H&N) has completed a stormwater runoff analysis of the
Bartlett Brook Watershed. This analysis was conducted to assess the potential
changes in peak runoff and peak discharge associated with the proposed water
storage tank development on 23 Harbor Ridge Road in South Burlington,
Vermont. A site location map is included in Appendix 1.
2. Stormwater runoff was analyzed using the Bartlett Brook Stormwater Model,
which was modified to reflect the proposed development. The Bartlett Brook
Model was first developed by H&N in 1984 using the USDA Soil Conservation
Service TR-20 model. The model has been updated in the intervening years so it
is now executed using the HydroCad software package. The Model includes
existing development as well as approved but unbuilt development within the
watershed.
3. Analysis conducted by H&N relied upon information provided by Forcier Aldrich &
Associates, Inc. It is assumed that all information provided by Forcier Aldrich &
Associates, Inc. is accurate. This includes but is not limited to: 1) pre- and post -
development land coverage (impervious surface areas, land coverage types, soil
types), 2) hydrology (on -site water movement and drainage), 3) grading, and 4)
other landscape features and site planning characteristics that may impact on -
site and off -site stormwater management.
' The Model does not account for recent changes within the Bartlett Brook Watershed that are due to
construction activities along U.S. Route 7.
ALLEN ROAD PROPERTY - BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS 2
4. The design storm used in this analysis was the 25-year, 24-hour storm event,
which in the Bartlett Brook Watershed is 4.0 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour
period. This storm event is the design standard used for all Bartlett Brook runoff
evaluations performed in the past by H&N, and is the design storm specified in
South Burlington's stormwater zoning ordinance for the watershed.
5. Peak runoff rates and volumes were determined for pre- and post -development
conditions for the subcatchment.
6. Bartlett Brook Model outputs for pre- and post -development conditions are
included in Appendices 2 and 3, respectively.
7. Pre -development, the subcatchment (Link #9304 in model) has a discharge rate
of 2.98 cfs. Post -development, the subcatchment (Link #9305 in model) has a
discharge rate of 2.98 cfs.
8. Pre -development, peak discharge from the subcatchment to the downstream
reach (#365 in model) is 61.26 cfs. Post -development, peak discharge to the
downstream reach is also 61.26 cfs. There is no predicted downstream
increase for the 25-year storm event.

SUBDIVISION CRITERIA
Pursuant to Section 15.18 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations,
subdivisions shall comply with the following standards and conditions:
Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity is available to meet the needs of
the project.
According to Section 15.13 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the existing
public water system shall be extended so as to provide the necessary quantity of water, at acceptable
pressure.
The proposed structure will serve as a supply source for the City of South Burlington's municipal
water supply. Therefore, this requirement is not applicable to the proposed project.
Sufficient grading and erosion controls will be utilized during and after construction to
prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on the
subject property and adjacent properties.
The proposed project shall adhere to standards for erosion control as set forth in Section 16.03 of
the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. In addition, the grading plan shall meet the
standards set forth in Section 16.04 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations.
1. The applicant should submit a grading and erosion control plan for the subject property, in
accordance with Section 16.04 of the Land Development Regulations, with the preliminary plat
application.
The project incorporates access, circulation, and traffic management strategies sufficient to
prevent unreasonable congestion of adjacent roads.
Access to this property is via a 12' wide gravel access drive extending from Harbor Ridge Road.
The proposed project will utilize this existing access drive. The proposed project will not create
significant traffic, and therefore staff feels the plans are sufficient with regard to this requirement.
The project's design respects and will provide suitable protection to wetlands, streams,
wildlife habitat as identified in the Open Space Strategy, and any unique natural features on
the site.
There are no wetlands, streams, wildlife habitat, or other unique natural features on the subject
property.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
ldrb\sub\south burl ington\harborridge water\sketch
The project is designed to be visually compatible with the planned development patterns in
the area, as specified in the Comprehensive Plan and the purpose of the zoning district(s) in
which it is located.
According to Section 4.02 of the Land Development Regulations, the purpose of the R2 District
is to encourage moderate -density residential uses.
Staff feels the proposed project is in compliance with the stated purpose of the R2 District, as
outlined in the Land Development Regulations. Obviously, the water storage tanks are not a
residential use; however, they will provide an increased water supply to accommodate residential
development.
Open space areas on the site have been located in such a way as to maximize opportunities
for creating contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels and/or stream buffer areas.
Staff feels the layout of the proposed project meets this requirement.
The layout of a subdivision or PUD has been reviewed by the Fire Chief or (designee) to
ensure that adequate fire protection can be provided.
The South Burlington Fire Chief has reviewed and approved the plans.
Roads, recreation paths, stormwater facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines and
lighting have been designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such
services and infrastructure to adjacent landowners.
This requirement is not applicable to the proposed project.
Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting are designed in a manner that is
consistent with City utility and roadway plans and maintenance standards.
The City Engineer has reviewed and approved the plans. His comments are attached.
2. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
The project is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan for the
affected district(s).
The proposed project is consistent with the goals and objectives for the R2 District, as outlined in
the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan. In addition, the proposed project is in conformance
with the following objectives relating to public utilities, as outlined in the South Burlington
Comprehensive Plan.-
* maintain the quality of existing utilities or services and remedy recognized deficiencies;
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 5 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burl ingtonlharborridge waterlsketch
• expand public utilities and services that compliment and reinforce the land use and
development recommendations contained in Chapter V of the Comprehensive Plan;
• adjust the capacity of public utilities and services in concert with that of other municipal
services to ensure a stable and appropriate rate of development.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Pursuant to Section 14.03(A)(6) of the Land Development Regulations, any PUD shall require site
plan approval. Section 14.06 establishes the following general review standards for all site plan
applications:
The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from
structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and
adequate parking areas.
The applicant has submitted building elevation plans and visual simulations for the proposed
project. The proposed structure will be large. However, it will be the same dimensions as the
existing water storage tank on the site. In addition, there is a significant amount of natural
screening on the site and the both the existing structure and the proposed structure are below the
existing tree canopies.
The site provides adequate planting areas, and the applicant is proposing to plant twenty (20)
coniferous trees, five (5) deciduous trees, and eleven (11) Virginia Creeper Vine throughout the
site.
Pedestran movement and parking areas are not applicable to the proposed project.
Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable.
Parking areas are not applicable to the proposed project.
Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and
scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or adjoining buildings.
The proposed structure is going to exceed the 35' height maximum for structures in South
Burlington. The existing structure is 60' in height and the proposed structure is 60' in height. Thus,
the new structure will be 25' taller than the maximum height limit in the City. The applicant has
requested a height waiver from the Development Review Board pursuant to Section 3.07(E)(2) of
the Land Development Regulations. The Board has to find that the proposed structure is in
conformance with the planned character of the R2 District and that it will not detract unduly from
public scenic view sheds. The subject property does not fall within any of the City's Scenic View
Protection Overlay Districts, so the structure will not detract unduly from public scenic views from
adjacent properties or public streets and walkways. In addition, the existing 60' structure has been
there since 1971, so it has been part of the landscape for over thirty years. The applicant has
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 6 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burlington\harborridge water\sketch
submitted visual simulations of the proposed structure (attached). Staff strongly supports this
height waiver request.
3. The plans shall be revised to indicate the average pre -construction grade of the site and the
height of the proposed structure in relation to the average pre -construction grade, prior to submittal
of the next plans.
Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior
alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground.
Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
The Development Review Board shall encourage the use of a combination of common
materials and architectural characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens and visual
interruptions to create attractive transitions between buildings of different architectural
styles.
The applicant is proposing landscaping on the site. Outside of that, this requirement is not
applicable to the proposed project.
Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain and to
existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed
structures.
The proposed structure will be identical in appearance to the structure that currently exists. The
proposed structure will be the same style, color, and height of the existing structure.
In addition to the above general review standards, site plan applications shall meet the following
specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the Land Development Regulations:
The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting
properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial
of collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to
improve general access and circulation in the area.
The access to the proposed project is via a 12' wide access drive off of Harbor Ridge Road. Staff
does not feel it is necessary to require any additional access to abutting properties, due to the
nature of the project.
Electric, telephone and other wire -served utility lines and service connections shall be
underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to
have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site.
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 7 DEPARTMENT OF
DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\sub\south burlington\harborridge water\sketch
Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines,
services, and service modifications shall be underground.
All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any
recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with
opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s).
The proposed project does not include any dumpsters or other facilities to handle solid waste.
Landscaping and Screening Requirements
The applicant has stated that the proposed project will cost $280,000. Pursuant to Table 13-9 of
the Land Development Regulations, the proposed project will require a minimum landscaping value
of $8,100. The applicant has submitted a planting schedule on Sheet 1 of the plans. The applicant
has also submitted a landscape budget to accompany this planting schedule. This budget was
prepared by North Country Landscape and Garden Center and indicates that $11,170 of
landscaping will be planted on the site.
4. The plans should be revised to indicate the name of the landscape professional who prepared
the landscape plan.
5. Pursuant to Section 13.06(C)(1) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, any
utility cabinets on the site shall be effectively screened to the approval of the Development Review
Board.

Article 3.07 Height of Structures
E. Height Waiver for Structures in the R1, R1-PRD, R1-Lakeshore, R2, R4, R7,
Lakeshore Neighborhood, Queen City Park and Southeast Quadrant Districts.
The existing Allen Road water storage tank is located in the R2 district and was built in
1971. The existing tank is approximately 60 feet high (including the roof) and a new twin
tank of similar size will be constructed adjacent to the existing tank. The new twin tank is
planned to exceed the maximum height for structures specified under 3.07 (D) as part of
a planned unit development. A waiver from the maximum height requirements of this
section is requested from the Development Review Board.
Drawing No. 2 is enclosed which indicates the elevations of the existing and proposed
tanks. The new tank will be similar in type and size to the existing tank. Co -location of
the new tank was selected as the preferred approach to minimize the impacts on public
views. This site is located lower than Spear Street and the location of the new tank will
not restrict the views of adjacent properties.
View perspectives taken on October 8, 2003 are enclosed which indicate the existing
and proposed views. The existing tank was not visible from Spear Street and it is not
expected that the new tank will be visible from this location. From Allen Road looking
north, the existing tank is visible through the large mature trees. The new twin tank will
be visible from this location but will be in a similar line of sight as the existing tank. The
existing tank is barely visible through the existing trees looking east and south from
Baycrest Drive and Road. The new tank will be slightly visible from these locations, but
is well hidden by the existing trees.
Article 14.10 Conditional Use Review: General Provisions and Standards
The Development Review Board shall review the proposed conditional use for compliance with
all applicable standards as contained in these regulations. The proposed conditional use shall
meet the following standards:
(1) The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the
planned character of the area as defined by the City of South Burlington
Comprehensive Plan.
This site has been the location of an operating water storage tank since 1971
Maintaining and providing adequate long-term water storage capacity at this site
is a necessary public use.
(2) The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the
proposed use is to be located.
(a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities.
Expansion of the water storage tank is necessary to provide adequate
long-term distribution storage for the City "Main Service" water
distribution system. This expanded water storage tank does not impact
educational facilities.
(b) The essential character of the neighborhood or district in which property
is located, or the ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses.
The site is located in the Southeast Quadrant and the existing water
storage tank has been a prominent feature at this site for the past 30
years. Expansion of the water storage tank will not impact the ability to
develop adjacent property for appropriate uses.
(c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity.
Once the expanded water storage tank is operational, there will be no
traffic impacts to roadways and highways in the vicinity.
(d) Bylaws in effect.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
bylaws in effect.
(e) Utilization of renewable energy resources.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
renewable energy resources.
(f) General public health and welfare.
Expansion of the existing water storage tank will not adversely affect
general public health and welfare.
Article 14.11 Conditional Use Review: Specific Uses and Standards
A. Public Utility, Power Generating Plants, Substations, and Transmission Lines
Review of such use shall include a review of 1) the availability of alternative sites and 2) an
evaluation of impacts and proposed mitigation measures related to safety, aesthetics, and
noise.
A "Feasibility Study of Water Storage Tank Sites" was completed in November 2001 to
investigate alternative sites for expansion of the water storage for the "Main Service"
area. Suitable sites were limited to locations with an existing ground elevation above
320 feet which is required to construct a storage tank which will maintain minimum water
system pressures. A total of three (3) sites were evaluated for short and long term
storage needs. Each of these sites were compared based on nine (9) criteria and
ranked accordingly. For fulfilling the long-term storage requirements, use of the existing
Allen Road site was determined to be the preferred site.
This site has been the location of a water storage tank since 1971. Co -location is
preferred to utilize existing property, access, and infrastructure. By re -using existing
infrastructure, the impacts on safety and noise are minimized. The existing tank is lower
in elevation and is therefore not visible from Spear Street. Other than the northerly view
from Allen Road, the existing tank is well screened by mature trees in the west and
north directions. These existing trees extend above the tank and will be maintained to
the extent possible. Addition of a new tank of similar type at this site minimizes the
impacts on the aesthetics as shown in the enclosed view perspectives.

BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
November 21, 2003
The proposed water storage tank is located next to an existing water storage tank at 23
Harbor Ridge Road in South Burlington. The proposal includes construction of one
tower with a total site area of 0.92 acres. Impervious surface area will increase from
0.03 acres to 0.06 acres within the 0.92-acre parcel. Under existing conditions, land
coverage of the property includes grass, woods and grass combination, as well as
paved areas. The hydrologic soil group for this area is C.
Stormwater runoff from the site resulting from the 25-year storm event was evaluated
using the Bartlett Brook Stormwater Model. Peak runoff from the site is not predicted to
increase despite the minor increase in impervious surface areas associated with the
new development. Flow rates within the associated downstream reaches are also not
predicted to increase.
Given the fact that this proposed development does not pose any significant alterations
to the Bartlett Brook flow regime, we recommend the City approve the stormwater
aspects of the proposed project with no modifications.

BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
November 21, 2003
1. Heindel & Noyes (H&N) has completed a stormwater runoff analysis of the
Bartlett Brook Watershed. This analysis was conducted to assess the potential
changes in peak runoff and peak discharge associated with the proposed water
storage tank development on 23 Harbor Ridge Road in South Burlington,
Vermont. A site location map is included in Appendix 1.
2. Stormwater runoff was analyzed using the Bartlett Brook Stormwater Model,
which was modified to reflect the proposed development. The Bartlett Brook
Model was first developed by H&N in 1984 using the USDA Soil Conservation
Service TR-20 model. The model has been updated in the intervening years so it
is now executed using the HydroCad software package. The Model includes
existing development as well as approved but unbuilt development within the
watershed'.
3. Analysis conducted by H&N relied upon information provided by Forcier Aldrich &
Associates, Inc. It is assumed that all information provided by Forcier Aldrich &
E Associates, Inc. is accurate. This includes but is not limited to: 1) pre- and post -
development land coverage (impervious surface areas, land coverage types, soil
types), 2) hydrology (on -site water movement and drainage), 3) grading, and 4)
other landscape features and site planning characteristics that may impact on -
site and off -site stormwater management.
' The Model does not account for recent changes within the Bartlett Brook Watershed that are
e due to
construction activities along U.S. Route 7.
ALLEN ROAD PROPERTY - BARTLETT BROOK WATERSHED ANALYSIS

4. The design storm used in this analysis was the 25-year, 24-hour storm event,
which in the Bartlett Brook Watershed is 4.0 inches of rainfall over a 24-hour
period. This storm event is the design standard used for all Bartlett Brook runoff
evaluations performed in the past by H&N, and is the design storm specified in
South Burlington's stormwater zoning ordinance for the watershed.
5. Peak runoff rates and volumes were determined for pre- and post -development
conditions for the subcatchment.
6. Bartlett Brook Model outputs for pre- and post -development conditions are
included in Appendices 2 and 3, respectively.

of 2.98 cfs. Post -development, the subcatchment (Link #9305 in model) has a
discharge rate of 2.98 cfs.
8. Pre -development, peak discharge from the subcatchment to the downstream
reach (#365 in model) is 61.26 cfs. Post -development, peak discharge to the
downstream reach is also 61.26 cfs. There is no predicted downstream
increase for the 25-year storm event.
