It was noted that the Oppenlander report indicated that traffic to be generated by Garden Way would be about 112 that generated by the old Grandway store, at peak hour. The state also will be making major traffic changes in this area in the future. Garden Way has the Grandway property, some vacant land in the rear for future expansion, and a right of way across Farrell land. Ar. Sky Thurber, representing Garden Way, said the vacant area had been included in the traffic figures the city was working with. Messrs. Duncan and Lindberg explained the proposal. Mr. Duncan said landscaping in keeping with the Garden Way idea would be put in, such as edible landscaping. He noted that the parking spaces would be changed from angled spaces to 900 spaces. There will be 20' between parking stalls. The front 15' adjacent to the building will be landscaped. They will keep most of the landscaping close to the building. There will be trees in the curbed island areas. Mr. Duncan said retail customers would enter from the Shelburne Road side of the building and park in front.

LECOURS Assistant Superintendent South Burlington Planning Commission Municipal Office Building 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05401 Dear Sirs: OFFICE: SOUTH BURLINGTON HIGH SCHOOL 550 Dorset Street October 12, 1981 I have been requested by Mrs. McCaffrey of Treetop Condominiums to write you regarding the school bus stop for Treetop. My understanding is that the Treetop Association is proposing construction of a shelter approximately 75 feet west of the entrance to Treetop that is closest to Williston Road. It is the intention of the School District to change the present bus stop location to pick up students at the shelter when this shelter is completed. Sincerely, Business Manager LPB/jw 1 MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J. Szymanski, City Manager Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 10/9/81 2) Ying Liu, Dorset Street 1. Sewage pumping station and force main shall be privately owned and main- tained until such time when the City expands its collection system and the station can be eliminated. The station must be installed on private property not within the Dorset Street right -of-way. 3) Treetop Bus Shelter, Kennedy Drive 1. Shelter should be of the type similar to those installed and maintained by C.C.T.A. 2. A paved walkway should be provided to Kennedy Drive. 3. Shelter shall be maintained by the condominium Association If maintainerce becomes a problem city shall have the option to remove. 4) Gardenway, Shelburne Road 1. Landscape islands and perimeter areas shall have barrier type curbs. 2. A site drainage plan should be prepared and sutmitted for review. The site lacks a drainage system which contributes to the serious deteroration of the paved surface. 5) Corporate Circle 1. After a meeting with developer and engineer the items stated in previous memo have been resolved except for the Mary Street turnaround and the access drive to Central School. Both are very important issues. The Mary Street turnaround is important for maintenance of this street Snow plows have to have a place to turnaround. The entrance to Central School has been planned for years. This new entrance will eliminate school bus traffic on Williston Road. 2. Traffic signals at Dorset Street must be updated to accomodate the new street prior to opening this street for public use. This work to be coordinated with Bruce Houghton. 3. The Hinesburg Road intersection will require traffic signals. This work must be coordinated with State Highway Department which has jurisdiction over Hinesburg Road. 4. Underground power shall have provisions for street lights. j r MEMORANDUM ` To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 10/9/81 2) Ying Liu, Ashbrook Park There are no major changes since preliminary plat approval. However, several previous stipulations on driveway widths and curb radii, parking spaces, and fire hydrant location have not yet been incorporated into the engineering plans. This must be done prior to final approval. Also, size of the cedar hedge screening the adjacent dwelling must be shown on the plans. A recreation fee will be required. Final approvals by the city attorney and by the water department are still forthcoming_ 3) C Treetops Bus Shelter Section 19.752 of the proposed zoning ordinance (and a similar section of the existing ordinance) requires that any transit authority bus shelter located within the City r-o-w be approved by the Planning Commission. I feel that school bus shelters should be treated the same way. The shelter will be outside of the sidewalk about 75 feet west of the main entrance. I see no problems with this application. 4) Garden Way Applicant received a multiple use variance from the Zoning Board several months ago. They plan to use old Grandway building for offices, a retail store, and storage space (see attached brochure). The Garden Way uses are expected to generate considerabley less traffic than the previous Grand Way store (see attached traffic report). Therefore, I have not asked the applicants to evaluate the ability of the roadway to handle existing through traffic (as would be required in a PCD application) but only to evaluate Garden Way's entering and exiting movements. Since traffic signals currently exist at both major entrances, the only suggested improvement is an increase in curb radii at the northerly entrance where trucks will. be encouraged to enter and exit. The major changes, in addition to extensive landscaping, will be in internal traffic circulation. The large opening between Garden Way's parking lot and Agel-Corman will be closed, thereby discouraging cars from using the parking lot as a bypass to the traffic signal. One opening will still remain next to the drive-thru bank, and conflicts with the bank's stacking lanes must still be resolved before the new arrangement can be approved. Lastly, extensive drainage improvements will be needed. These will not alter landscaping or circulation patterns, but stipulations for drainage review and approval by the City administration should be made. A PROTEUS & CO.
