South Burlington City Council Meeting Participation Guidelines City Council meetings are the only time we have to discuss and decide on City matters. We want to be as open and informal as possible; but Council meetings are not town meetings. In an effort to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, we kindly request your cooperation and compliance with the following guidelines. 1. Please be respectful of each other (Council members, staff, and the public). 2. Please raise your hand to be recognized by the Chair. Once recognized please state your name and address. 3. Please address the Chair and not other members of the public, staff, or presenters. 4. Please abide by any time limits that have been set. Time limits will be used to insure everyone is heard and there is sufficient time for the Council to conduct all the business on the agenda. 5. The Chair will make a reasonable effort to allow everyone to speak once before speakers address the Council a second time. 6. The Chair may ask that discussion be limited to the Councilors once the public input has been heard. 7. Please do not interrupt when others are speaking. 8. Please do not repeat the points made by others, except to briefly say whether you agree or disagree with others views. 9. Please use the outside hallway for side conversations. It is difficult to hear speaker remarks when there are other conversations occurring.

MEMORANDUM
TO: South Burlington City Council
Kevin Dorn, City Manager
FROM: Paul Conner, AICP, Director of Planning & Zoning
SUBJECT: Public Hearing Interim Zoning Application #IZ-19-06 (550 Park Road)
DATE: December 2, 2019 City Council meeting
Blackrock Construction, in conjunction with Highlands Development Company, LLC is seeking approval
from the City Council to subdivide a 6.91-acre undeveloped parcel into two (2) lots for the purpose of a
32-unit residential planned unit development. The planned unit development is to consist of 10 single
family homes and 22 units in two-family dwellings, plus off-site infrastructure improvements, at 550 Park
Road.
This 6.91 acre parcel is part of the 2015 stipulated Master Plan agreed upon via Court-approved
settlement amongst the City, Highlands Development Company LLC, and JAM Golf, LLC, and was
the subject of a land exchange between the City and these parties.
The Stipulated Master Plan, as indicated below, approves up to 32 dwelling units for this
“Wheeler Parcel” lot in buildings consisting of between one and four dwelling unit each at the
Master Plan level. The Stipulated Master Plan also determined that the preliminary & final plat
reviews for the project would take place under an amended set of Land Development
Regulations, established through a collaborative process between the City and property owner.
“6. New Land Development Regulations for Wheeler Parcel Project Area.
a. A portion of the City Parcel, specifically the +/-6.91 acres currently in the Wheeler Nature
Park east of Dorset Street and north of Park Road, being the lands labelled ‘6.91 Acres
CITY of SOUTH BURLINGTON to JAM GOLF, LLC’ on the survey incorporated herein as
Exhibit A also referred to as the Wheeler Parcel Project Area, is not presently in a zoning
district that allows the use contemplated by this Amended Agreement. The City agrees to
amend its Land Development Regulations, including necessary maps, to allow the
Wheeler Parcel Project Area to be developed with a maximum of 32 dwelling units in
structures consisting of 1-4 dwelling units within the intent of this Amended Agreement.
The City and Developers agree to cooperate and to work together to ensure that the
amendments contain provision that allow development of residential structure
2
consisting of 1-4 dwelling units similar in type and size to those presently existing in the
Project, that include site and building design standards similar to those applicable to the
Southeast Quadrant, Neighborhood Residential Subdistrict version of the Land
Development Regulations that took effect on May 7, 2012, and that include site design
standards that require compatibility with adjacent natural areas. Applications for
preliminary and final plat and site plan approval for the Wheeler Parcel Project Area that
be reviewed under the amended Land Development contemplated by this Paragraph 6
(the ‘Amendments’).” Amended Stipulated Master Plan, 2015-09-28.
The amended Land Development Regulations contemplated in the paragraph above were
adopted by the City Council and took effect January 11, 2016, and were subsequently amended
effective June 19, 2017 to allow for an affordable housing density bonus should the property
seek a future change in their proposal.
Enclosed with your packet are the following materials:
• Applicant cover letter dated October 18, 2019
• Applicant Narrative to accompany the application
• Completed application form
• Site Plan showing the proposed subdivision
• Overall Golf Course Plan
Public notices were sent out in compliance with State Law.
Recommendation
Similarly to the recently-reviewed Interim Zoning proposal at 1227 Dorset Street (#IZ-19-02),
staff recommends that the Council confirm with the applicant that the proposed project is
contained within the limitations of the Stipulated Master Plan, and if so, issue a determination
of jurisdiction.

Dear Marla,
Thank you for all of your feedback and efforts in assisting us with this project. We
appreciate all of the Staff’s efforts and look forward to moving this well thought out project
forward and integrating our new neighborhood into the South Burlington Community.
As you are aware, the plan has a mix of housing types, excellent connectivity to
public use paths, community recreation features and open space. The following is a general
overview of the project components, as further described in the attached Sketch Plan
packet:
1. The proposed development density fits within the parameters for the zoning district.
2. We have created a plan of mixed housing types to serve the community across the
spectrum. There is a mix of attached housing including one and two story duplex
units, two story townhomes, single family homes and single story “carriage” style
housing, that has been particularly attractive to seniors and empty nesters. With this
variety in housing comes a range of pricing that is meant to attract a variety of
buyers.
3. The project will feature a number of community-based components. Some of these
will include a pocket park between sets of townhomes and community garden beds.
Also, a new section of recreation path, intended to extend the existing Dorset Street
infrastructure to Park Road. The location also provides excellent pedestrian
connectivity to the adjacent Wheeler Nature Park and all of its natural amenities.
This plan encompasses many of the components of mixed housing type and smart growth. It
is a design that lends itself to pedestrian access and mobility and we believe it is a natural
extension of the existing settlement pattern. We feel that the development of this parcel will
be an asset to the community as a whole and contribute to easing the ongoing housing
shortage across Chittenden County.
We look forward to the coming meetings and bringing this project forward.
Best regards,
Benjamin Avery
