There were excellent discussions regarding first responders/mental health issues
at the VLCT Town Meeting.
Mr. Dorn thanked Mr. Barritt for attending the Mary St. meeting regarding the
opening of Mary St. after the first of the year. There is no real alternative. The city will look
into safety measures for the neighborhood. The team has been asked to accelerate the Garden

Mr. Dorn recognized Ms. Holm, Ms. LaRose, Ms. Rees, Mr. Ladd, and others for
their efforts on the recent all-committee symposium.
The city has gotten 95% of what it wanted in the letter regarding the NCP
program. It now goes to public hearing, to the Burlington City Council and then to the FAA.
Approval by the FAA is expected in May. Ms. Riehle said she hopes the Council can see the final
proposal before the Burlington City Council votes on it. Mr. Conner said he said the “bones” of
the plan. The FAA representative spoke regarding their timeline for review and their hope to be
done before May 1. Ms. Emery asked what the city did not get. Mr. Conner said they didn’t get
wording regarding sound barriers. It was noted that if the noise increases, it would nullify the
avigation easements. Ms. Riehle asked about noise monitoring. Mr. Conner said there was
some discussion of that, and they seemed receptive but not as a top priority.
Champlain Valley Partnership is hosting a “weed warrior” event on the Ewing
property, 19 October, 9-11 a.m. Mr. Dorn recognized Ashley for her work on this.
5.Consent Agenda:
A.Approve and Sign Disbursement
Mr. Chittenden moved to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Mr. Barritt seconded.
Motion passed unanimously.
6.Update on the status of the Consensus App Pilot Project:
Mr. Plett reviewed the history of the project. He noted that to date there have been 21
individual polls with 4942 individual votes cast. There are 1056 participants of whom 783 are
verified users. The most popular question concerned the proposed indoor recreation facility.
Mr. Plett then reviewed the current tools and noted they are close to where they want to be.
They would like to keep going for a few more weeks. What isn’t there yet are computation and
modeling.
Mr. Plett showed a “future roadmap” including mobile and desk top applications, increased
engagement, subscription-based Consensus platform in Vermont, and building additional data
input systems. He also cited the need for better user screens.
Ms. Riehle said that when everything is ready, there should be reminders to people to use the
system

7.Council reports on committee assignments:
Mr. Chittenden: Green Mountain Transit is looking at options to address this year’s
shortfall. An electric bus will arrive early in November, but the charging station won’t arrive
until later in the month.
Ms. Emery: The Interim Zoning Open Space Committee has reduced the list of properties to
conserve to 21. They are hoping to do more about the Great Swamp (e.g., signage, public
education). It is incrementally being encroached on.
8.Update from Col. David Smith, Vermont Air National Guard, related to arrival of the
F35s:
Col. Smith said the Guard has been a long-standing neighbor in South Burlington and is
committed to working with the city. He hoped he could allay any concerns that have arisen in
the community.
The Vermont Air National Guard is the first Air Guard to receive the F35s, and the Airmen have
been working hard to prepare for this. They are fully prepared for this mission. They will
receive a total of 20 planes. About a dozen construction projects have been required to handle
the new planes. Four of these are now completed, and the others will by ongoing until 2022.
The subcontractors were all local.
The fighter wing is 1000 strong, more than half being part time Guardsmen. There are 400 full
time positions, 50 of whom have received F35 experience. 85 members are trained on the F35,
and instruction is continuing. There are 8 fully trained pilots and 6 more are in training now.
There will eventually be about 30 trained pilots.
The first 2 planes arrived about 2 weeks ago, and there will be 2 per month for the next 9
months until the total of 20 is reached. The flying schedule will be similar to the F16s, 8 planes
in the morning and 6 in the afternoon. They will take off 15-20 seconds apart. Flights will be
mainly on Tuesday-Friday and training weekends (usually only Saturdays), no earlier than 8 a.m.
on Saturday and noon on Sunday. Any night flying is usually from November to February, and
they do put out a media advisory for that as well as for anything unusual.
Col. Smith stressed that they have no plan to have a nuclear mission for the F35s. They also do
not plan to use afterburners except on an odd occasion. The use “military power,” and there is
no training requirement for using afterburners.
Mr. Chittenden asked about possible sound deadening on the ground. Col. Smith said there is
not a lot of information regarding the effectiveness of sound walls (e.g., where to put them).
CITY COUNCIL
7 OCTOBER 2019
PAGE 4
There also could be an issue when larger planes are coming in. The Colonel said he has never
seen sound walls at a military base, but he has seen jet blast deflectors.
Ms. Emery asked if the plan is to serve the national defense or offense. Col. Smith said the plan
is for both, the same as the F16s. They do not have a nuclear mission and train only for their
given mission. Defense of the homeland is a top mission.
Regarding the EIS, Col. Smith said there is no requirement to do a supplemental EIS. They
continue to work with the Airport on noise compatibility and will do another noise study when
the full complement of planes has arrived.
Ms. Emery read from some emails about “gaming the system” and that afterburners would be
required because of the length of the runway. Col. Smith stressed that afterburners would not
be used. He said “gaming the system” is not true. He added that you can’t compare this
location to any other bases. Training here does not require afterburners.
Ms. Riehle asked about working with Chamberlin School on the flying schedule so that children
aren’t outside when planes take off. The Colonel said it is hard to fit in 2 flying schedules a day.
They try not to fly when people are sleeping. He said they would see what they could do about
the school. Mr. Chittenden asked if there are “tours” that the children might have. The Colonel
said absolutely.
Ms. Emery asked if all repairs and maintenance will be done by local mechanics. Col. Smith said
the majority of work will be done locally, just as with the F16s. Some inspections and
maintenance will be done elsewhere, similar to the F16s. The maintenance crew remains about
the same size.
Ms. Park asked why Hill Air Force Base uses afterburners. Col. Smith said possibly because of its
density altitude.
Ms. Marriott asked for suggestions for mitigating ground noise and noted that there is a 20-30
minute warm-up period for the planes. Col. Smith said he didn’t know how effective a sound
wall would be. One thing that will help is that these planes don’t do as much taxiing to the end
of the runway near homes.

Ms. Waring asked why people were told there would be fewer sorties and now there are more.
Col. Smith said the number of operations goes down from the F16s because they can’t do
“approaches” here.
Ms. Renton asked if the Air Guard does “real time noise monitoring.” Col. Smith said they
don’t, and the Airport doesn’t either. Chamberlin School did do it, and it was very reflective of
the EIS. Ms. Rankin asked what would happen if an F35 crashedand if emergency first
responders at the base and in the local communities are adequately protected against the toxic
fumes. Col. Smith said there are mutual aid agreements in the community and they have on-
going training for both local and military responders and that the Guard’s Fire Department is
fully qualified. He also said that commercial airplanes and the F35 both contain composite
materials.
The Colonel said he would be happy to come back later with any updates.
9.Council deliberations and possible approval of draft decision on Interim Zoning
application #IZ-19-03 of Tom and Kim Phillips to subdivide a 2.2 acre lot currently
developed with a single family home into two parcels of approximately 1.1 acres each
for the purposes of constructing a single family home on the newly established lot,
1430 Spear Street: and
10.Council deliberations and possible approval of draft decision on Interim Zoning
application #IZ-19-04 of Scott McAllister to subdivide a 1.23 acre lot currently
developed with a single family home into three lots of 27,580 sq. ft. (existing house),
12,000 sq. ft., and 12,000 sq. ft., and to construct a single family home on each of the
two new lots, 1430 Hinesburg Road:
Mr. Dorn noted that a deliberative session is required for item #9.
Mr. Barritt moved that the Council meet in deliberative session to discuss IZ-19-03. Mr.
Kaufman seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
Following the deliberative session, Ms. Riehle advised that the Council agreed to approve both
IZ-19-03 and IZ-19-04. Regarding IZ-19-03, the Council received a letter from an abutter, but as
the hearing had been closed that information could not be used in their deliberations. Those
issues can be brought to the DRB hearing.

11.Continued Review and possible action to adopt amendment to the Land Development
Regulations:
a.LDR-19-01: Eliminate minimum parking requirements for all uses citywide
except multi-family housing and accessory dwelling units, for which parking
requirements are to be reduced:
Mr. Conner reviewed the history and noted the Council’s choices are to adopt the amendment,
have further discussion, or make changes (which would trigger another public hearing).
Mr. Barritt noted that there was an attempt to compromise by increasing waivers. The DRB
was OK with it but the Planning Commission was not. He said he would be comfortable giving
the DRB more waivers; he did not favor totally eliminating the standard.
Ms. Emery noted the current LDRs in Village Commercial zones are designed to create a buffer
between residential and commercial development. This has nothing to do with minimum
parking requirements. There are parking requirements in City Center, and spaced can be
rented to meet those requirements. Ms. Emery noted that the new city building will be leasing
parking across the street.
Ms. Emery said she didn’t see developers as “bad guys” and felt they would build the parking
they needed. She felt the planning document is looking to the future and to using land
development regulations more creatively. She said that waivers were her “pet peeve,” and she
was not comfortable giving the DRB more waiver options.
Mr. Chittenden said he would support a reduction in the parking requirement but not the
elimination. He cited an issue with the new building near Brookwood where people are parking
all over the neighborhood streets.
Mr. Cota, Chair of the DRB, said they have some language which they feel would be a
compromise. Mr. Kochman noted that a developer could make a mistake in calculating parking
needs and the DRB would have no power to address this. Mr. Barritt agreed that sometimes
bad choices are made. He was particularly concerned with future development on both
Shelburne and Williston Roads.
CITY COUNCIL
7 OCTOBER 2019
PAGE 7
Mr. Kochman then read proposed language for a waiver option with very specific criteria
including limiting impervious surfaces, adequacy of public transportation (existing or planned),
the impact on adjoining parking and adjoining residences.
Ms. Louisos, Chair of the Planning Commission, said the Commission did not review Mr.
Kochman’s proposal. She also noted that the new regulations don’t apply to multi-family
housing (parking has been reduced there, not eliminated). Ms. Louisos also noted that Goal #2
of the Comprehensive Plan is “walkability,” and noted that if you focus on cars, you won’t get
walkability. The Commission felt the market will decide on parking and “won’t shoot
themselves in the foot.” She felt that the proposed language in Mr. Kochman’s waiver option
assumes there is a “right number,” but you have to pick and choose that number. Mr. Klugo
added there were 2 years of research before the current proposal was agreed on by the
Planning Commission. He felt that going with Mr. Kochman’s proposal would be “providing
waivers by a body that has no expertise.”
Mr. Chittenden asked for more time before making this decision so that the Planning
Commission can review what the DRB is proposing. Ms. Riehle said the Commission spent 2
years on this, and they have more important things to address, such as Interim Zoning.
Ms. Emery then moved to adopt IZ-19-01. Ms. Riehle seconded.
Mr. Crawford felt the amendment was a good goal but not at the right time. He said he is too
old to ride his bike to City Hall meetings. He felt the DRB proposal should be given a chance.
In the vote that followed, the motion passed 3-2 with Messrs. Barritt and Chittenden voting
against.
12.Annual Report to the Council from the Chittenden County Regional Planning
Commission (CCRPC):
Mr. Baker cited the fine work of the City’s representative to CCRPC, Chris Shaw. He then
reviewed the list of projects that the CCRPC is doing with municipalities including bike and
pedestrian paths, traffic overlay, Interim Zoning, etc. Project requests for 2021 are due in
January.
CCRPC is looking at maintenance issues for the Interstate and noted that replacing a bridge may
be an opportunity to get a bike path. Ms. Emery asked if there are plans for the one-way
CITY COUNCIL

bridge. Mr. Baker said there are not. It is owned by 2 cities. Some improvements that are
being done will help.
Mr. Dorn noted that Mr. Baker hosts a monthly meeting with city managers.
13. Authorization to City Manager to execute a contract amendment for a guaranteed
maximum price for 180 Market Street with Engelberth Construction:
Ms. Blanchard said the project is lined up for construction to begin at the end of the month.
The city would pay anything above the guaranteed amount for anything it initiates; otherwise
the contractor will.
Mr. Chittenden said he would abstain from the vote as he does not favor the City Hall being
part of the plan.
Mr. Kaufman moved to approve the contract amendment as presented. Ms. Emery seconded.
Motion passed 3-1 with Mr. Barritt opposing and Mr. Chittenden abstaining.
14. Authorization to expend funds for geothermal drilling:
Ms. Blanchard reviewed the history. She also noted it is important to do this at the same time
Market Street is being done. The cost is about $250,000.
Mr. Kaufman moved to approve the expending of funds for geothermal drilling. Ms. Emery
seconded. Motion passed 4-1 with Mr. Barritt opposing.
15. Discussion and possible action to warn a public hearing on 4 November 2019, 7 p.m.,
to consider extending the time period during which the Interim Bylaws are in effect:
Ms. Riehle noted the Planning Commission would not be ready until January at the earliest.
This would be the second extension of Interim Zoning.
Mr. Barritt said he would not support any more than this.
Ms. Lafferty reviewed the history and noted this proposal would extend Interim Zoning until 13
February 2020.
CITY COUNCIL
7 OCTOBER 2019
PAGE 9
Mr. Barritt moved to warn a public hearing for 4 November 2019, 7 p.m. to consider extending
the Interim Zoning period. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
16.Financials: July and August:
Mr. Hubbard said September financials should be available at the next meeting along with
department narratives. He noted that expenses include contributions to CCRPC, CCTV, Green
Mountain Transit, etc., paving, insurance payments, and vehicles for Police and Public Works.
The city has received about 12% of local option taxes, and the amount is ahead of expectations.
25% of anticipated Planning and Zoning fees have been received. SoBu Night Out earned $4000
to date. This revenue will be used for additional events. Enterprise funds are doing well.
17.Council Appointment to the Board of Directors of the Champlain Housing Trust:
Mr. Dorn noted that Champlain Housing has nominated Helen Head.
Mr. Kaufman moved to appoint Helen Head to the Board of Directors of Champlain Housing
Trust. Ms. Emery seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
18.Other Business:
Members considered proposed dates for a Steering Committee meeting and suggested 28
October or 29 October. They also were OK with a 5 November meeting with the School Board
and Legislators.
As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Chittenden moved to
adjourn. Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at
10:10 p.m.

SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL 28 OCTOBER 2019
The South Burlington City Council held a special meeting on Monday, 28 October 2019, at
6:30p.m, in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street.
Members Present: H. Riehle, Chair; M. Emery, T. Barritt, D. Kaufman
Also Present: T. Hubbard, Deputy City Manager; P. Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning; M.
Mittag
1.Instructions on exiting building in case of emergency:
Mr. Hubbard provided instructions on emergency evacuation of the building.
2. Agenda Review: Additions, deletions or changes in order of agenda items:
No changes were made to the Agenda.
3.Comments and Questions from the public not related to the agenda:
No issues were raised.
4.Council Discussion and possible vote on proposal for services made by Earth
Economics:
Mr. Mittag questioned the legality of this meeting as the Earth Economics proposal has not
been made public, either at the last meeting or on the website.
Members agreed to discuss the proposal but take no action.
Ms. Riehle noted that Mr. Chittenden, who could not be present at this meeting, is opposed to
the proposal.
Mr. Conner then outlined the Earth Economics proposal as follows:
a.A cost/revenue analysis of development (Mr. Conner noted that John
Stewart is already doing this, and staff recommends not doubling efforts)
b.An analysis of the value of open space
Mr. Conner suggested that they could explore a narrower focus, specifically assigning a value to
resources (the land not built on). This means giving a money value to something that
traditionally have a money value, but this might be easier for the consultants to do.
Ms. Emery said she would like two reports: have the consultant see what John Steward has
done and what the Interim Zoning Committee has done. She felt that since the inventor has
been done this could cut down on the hours.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL
28 OCTOBER 2019
PAGE 2
Mr. Barritt asked whether the Regional Planning Commission would be interested in sharing the
cost of this.
Ms. Emery said she would also like to add that property values beside open space are higher
than those not next to open space. She also felt it was important not to limit the study to the
Southeast Quadrant and noted that the IZ Committee has some parcels outside the SEQ.
Mr. Kaufman said at first he thought this was a good idea, but now he isn’t sure that it’s worth
$45,000. He wanted to talk further with Mr. Dorn and Mr. Conner.
Ms. Riehle said the item will be rewarned with the proposal posted.
As there was no further business to come before the Council, Mr. Kaufman moved to adjourn.
Mr. Barritt seconded. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 6:55 p.m.

To: Kevin Dorn, City Manager
From: Ashley Parker, Project Manager
Subject: Authorize the City Manager to Execute the 2019 VTrans Bicycle and
Pedestrian Program Grant Agreement to fund the design and construction of a
shared use path along the southern end of Dorset Street.
Date: November 18, 2019
Background: Each year, VTrans offers funding through their Bicycle & Pedestrian Program
for Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvements. This year, the City submitted a grant
application to the VTrans program in the Design and Construction category,
which would utilize federal funding for the design and construction of a shared
use path along a 0.7 mile gap along the south end of Dorset Street.
The shared use path project along the southern end of Dorset Street closes a
gap between Nowland Farm Drive/Old Cross Road to Sadie Lane. It will
provide a 10 foot wide paved path, and would improve a section of Dorset
Street that does not have bike lanes or a shoulder that is safely accessible. This
project will complete the South Burlington Dorset Street Shared Use Path
system that runs approximately four miles from its northern terminus at
Williston Road, through City Center, past the Middle and High Schools, past
churches, past Vet Memorial Park, straight past Wheeler Nature Park and
Wheeler Homestead, and past a significant and an increasingly growing
number of neighborhoods.
In August, the City was notified that this project was selected for funding. The
grant will cover 80% of the project’s design and construction costs, and the
City will need to provide a 20% match. The official grant award will be
$661,000, and the City’s required match will be $165,400. This project is
included in the Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee’s Penny for Paths project list
which is the proposed source for the required matching funds. The Committee
approved of the allocation of $100,000 from the Penny for Paths fund for this
project in the most recent Capital Improvement Program budget for Bike/Ped
Improvements, and an additional $100,000 will be available from Rec Impact
Fees to cover the remaining match.
The City is now required to sign an agreement with the state, Agreement

Subject: Draft FY2021-2030 Capital Improvement Program
Date: November 15, 2019
Background: This draft CIP adds Fiscal Year 2030 and incorporates proposed changes due to new information or priorities. City department heads also solicited
comments from City committees last summer while preparing their portion of
the CIP.
This draft amendment is proposed to replace in its entirety the existing FY2020-2029 CIP as the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program. It is recommended that the City Council hold a public hearing on this draft CIP on
December 16, 2019.
The CIP reflects cost estimates and information available in the summer of 2019.
The first year (FY21) of the FY2021-2030 CIP will be incorporated into the City’s 2020-2021 budget for approval in March.
A digital copy of the draft CIP may be viewed online and has been provided
in Council’s folder. .
Upon request, a hard copy of the draft CIP (144 pages) may be provided for Council review at the meeting on Monday.
Capital Improvement Program History
A Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a tool used to improve coordination in the timing of major projects, plan for capital replacement and future major maintenance costs, and reduce fluctuations in the tax rate. The attached draft CIP reflects the following potential capital expenditures:
1)Forecasted big ticket costs related to maintaining South Burlington’s
current level of service through refreshing, rebuilding and replacingexisting capital equipment and infrastructure such as repaving roadways,replacing vehicles, emergency apparatus and roofs, and routine upgrades toCity utility infrastructure.
2)Estimated spending related to building public infrastructure that will result
in a new downtown – City Center – including those projects eligible forTIF District financing such as new roadways, streetscapes and bridges,municipal facilities, parks, structured parking, wetland mitigation and
stormwater management systems.
3) Projects (generally related to transportation and parks) that are included in
impact fee ordinances, funded through specific voter authorizations such as
Penny for Paths or Open Space, requested by committees or thecommunity, or shown in long range plans or studies that improve the levelof service, respond to growth or changes in service demands such asreconstructing Spear Street, connecting recreation paths on Dorset Street
and expanding recreation fields.
A CIP is a road map to guide budget preparation based on an estimate of future projects and costs consistent with current City priorities and fiscal outlook.
The CIP incorporates Council priorities; committee recommendations which are solicited annually; adopted plans and ongoing projects; and equipment and
facility maintenance, replacement and upgrade needs. As a financial planning
tool, the CIP responds to the estimated fiscal capacity for each year going forward. It is not a static document and changes from year to year.

2019 at 8:30 p.m. for public comment on the proposed amendment to the Capital Improvement Program and authorize staff to complete any tasks needed to accomplish same on Council’s behalf.”

MEMORANDUM
TO: Kevin Dorn, City Manager
South Burlington City Council
FROM: Paul Conner, Director of Planning & Zoning
SUBJECT: Elimination of Development Review & Permit Fees for Required Inclusionary Dwelling
Units
DATE: November 18, 2019 City Council meeting
At the Council’s November 4th meeting, staff was requested to bring forward a proposal that would
eliminate the Planning & Zoning fees related to the review & approval of required Inclusionary Dwelling
Units.
Background:
The City’s Land Development Regulations require that a portion of dwelling units proposed as part of
medium-to-larger projects within the City Center Form Based Code District meet and affordability criteria.
That program, in place since 2016, is proposed to be revised and expanded to include all areas within the
City’s Transit Overlay District (generally speaking the Shelburne Road, Williston Road, Kennedy Drive,
Kimball Ave, and Dorset Street [north of I-89] corridors).
That expansion is under review by the Planning Commission, which has warned a public hearing on
proposed amendments for December 10, 2019. The Affordable Housing Committee had submitted the
proposed amendments to the Commission earlier this fall.
The Affordable Housing Committee has discussed different ways in which the costs associated with
constructing these inclusionary units may be offset. Vermont State law requires that in order to adopt
Inclusionary Zoning, municipalities must provide incentives to defray the costs of meeting the requirement.
The Committee has included a series of tools in the draft regulations and proposes additionally to provide a
financial component, to be shared among the broad tax base in the form of reduced or eliminated fees.
Analysis:
The proposed Inclusionary Zoning standards would require that 10-15% of dwelling units in projects
consisting of 12 or more unit (depending on whether they are for-sale or for-rent units) meet an
affordability criteria.
Using historic development trends as a guide, and using annual analysis of where development is taking
place in the City, staff estimates that roughly 10-20 dwelling units per year would be required to meet an
inclusionary standard.

Effect on fees collected:
•Development Review Fees:
o Average per dwelling unit: ~$200
o Total annual based on 10-20 dwelling unit total: ~$2,000 - $4,000
•Zoning Permit Fees:
o Average per dwelling unit ~$750
o Total annual based on 10-20 dwelling unit total: ~$7,500 - $15,000
Authority:
24 VSA $4440(b) states that “the legislative body may prescribe reasonable fees to be charged with respect
to the administration of bylaws and for the administration of development review.”
The Council adopts the Planning & Zoning fees by resolution.
Recommended Language and Adoption Timeline
Staff recommends that if the Council elects to proceed with a reduction or waiver of fees as outlined in this
memo, that such change take effect with the passage of amendments to the Land Development Regulations
discussed above, that would expand the scope and reach of Inclusionary Zoning.
Council at this meeting could choose to either take action to have those fees automatically be revised at that
time, or provide staff with the guidance as to whether it is interested in this action and to have action to
change the fees on the agenda for that meeting.
Possible change in the fee schedule:
Add the following to the fee schedule: “13 No fees for required Inclusionary Dwelling Units. No per-unit or
per lot subdivision or site plan fees, and no zoning permit fees, shall be required for any dwelling unit
required to be constructed as an Inclusionary Unit pursuant to Article 18 of the Land Development
Regulations.”
