If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Betsy McDonough Administrative Assistant Encl. 1 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 5 OCTOBER 2004 Arrowwood was then hired to do an ecological study to get a grip on natural resources in the SEQ. They identified key natural "communities" which Ms. Hinds showed on the map. The Planning Commission is taking all the different overlays and is focusing on appropriate mapping techniques and appropriate densities. They are also looking at design standards with a major focus on PRD and landscape standards. Ms. Hinds said she didn't think there will be a change in base density in the SEQ, but she thought there would be a change in density in major receiving areas. She invited the DRB to attend a Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday which will focus on the SEQ. Mr. Kupferman said one thing that is always at the DRB's tension level is the issue of east -west roadways vs. neighborhood connections. He said it would be beneficial to know how that thinking may change. Ms. Hinds said neighborhood connections are now required. She said it is essential for a city so it doesn't turn into a bunch of isolated pods. Mr. Kupferman said the Board would like stronger language about that concept to work with. Ms. Hinds agreed and said that will be a major thrust of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update. Mr. Kupferman also raised the issue of public notice. Ms. Hinds said they are struggling with that issue. One question is lead time. The longer the notice period, the more likely people will forget. Methods of notice are also at issue. 4 5. Public Hearing: Application #CU-04-09 of Merchant's Bank for conditional use approval under Section 14.10 Conditional Use Review of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. Request is for permission to exceed the 35-foot height limitation by 9.5 feet by installing two energy recovery ventilators on the roof, 275 Kennedy Drive: Mr. Francis explained that they need more air pressure in the building. The best solution is to put 2 units on the roof. They will be in the middle of the building so they won't be visible from the street. The building next door has similar units and are about the same height. Mr. Belair said there is a minimal landscaping requirement. They don't propose any. Staff suggests giving them a credit. They will have to bond to be sure they landscaping they are being given credit for survives. Ms. Quimby moved to approve Application #CU-04-09 of Merchant's Bank subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Mr. Farley seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6.

Request is for permission to exceed the 35 foot height limitation by 9.5 feet by installing two (2) energy recovery ventilators on the roof, 275 Kennedy Drive. Associate Planner Brian Robertson and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, referred to herein as Staff, have reviewed the plans submitted on August 27, 2004 and have the following comments. CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA Pursuant to Section 14.10(E) of the Land Development 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. The proposed modifications are not in conflict with the planned character of the area, as defined by the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the proposed use is located. According to Section 5.04(A) of the Land Development Regulations, the Commercial 1 with Limited Retail C 1-LR District is formed in order to encourage the location of general retail at specific intersections in the city, to serve nearby residential areas. These commercial areas are intended to serve the convenience shopping needs of local residents and employees. Their location and design are intended to make them accessible both by motorized vehicle and by foot, thereby somewhat reducing traffic volume in the immediate vicinity. In these areas, businesses offering goods and services will be limited in allowed floor area and use. Such regulations generally follow existing Commercial 1 District regulations. The addition of the two (2) proposed energy recovery ventilators is not in conflict with the stated purpose of the C1-LR Zoning District. 3. The Development Review Board must find that the proposed uses will not adversely affect the following: (a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities. The proposed modification will not adversely affect municipal services. K, I I (b) The essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses. Staff does not feel that the proposed modification will have an adverse affect on the character of the neighborhood or zoning district that this property falls within. The area is comprised predominantly of commercial uses and the addition of the proposed rooftop apparatuses will not impact its character. (c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity. The proposed modifications will not affect traffic in the vicinity. (d) Bylaws in effect The proposed modifications are in keeping with applicable regulations. (e) Utilization of renewable energy resources. The proposed modifications will not affect renewable energy resources. (t) General public health and welfare. The proposed modifications will not have an adverse affect on general public welfare. Pursuant to Section 3.13(F) of the Land Development Regulations, the proposed conditional use shall meet the following standards: The Development Review Board, in granting conditional use approval, may impose conditions of the following: 1. Size and construction of structures, quantities of materials, storage locations, handling of materials, and hours of operations. Staff does not feel it is necessary to impose any of these conditions to the proposed project. Z Warning systems, fire controls, and other safeguards. Staff does not feel it is necessary to impose any of these conditions to the proposed project. 3. Provision for continuous monitoring and reporting. Staff does not feel it is necessary to impose any of these conditions to the proposed project. 4. Other restrictions as may be necessary to protect public health and safety. Staff does not feel it is necessary to impose any of these conditions to the proposed 3 project. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Pursuant to Sections 14.06 and 14.07 of the Land Development Regulations the proposed conditional use shall meet the following standards: (a) 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 proposed project has been planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement. (b) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable. The proposed modifications only involve rooftop apparatuses, so this criterion is not applicable. (c) 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 allowable height for a flat -roofed building is 35' and the top of the proposed rooftop apparatuses will be 44.5'. Thus, the proposed project will exceed the height limitations for the subject building by 9.5'. Pursuant to Section 3.07(G) of the Land Development Regulations, rooftop apparatuses may exceed the standard height limitations if approved as a conditional use subject to Article 14 of the Land Development Regulations. The conditional use criteria are discussed above in this document. Staff feels that the proposed height waiver is acceptable. (dJ Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. 1. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. (e) The DRS 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 Staff does not feel that any additional architectural characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens, or visual interruptions are necessary for the proposed project. 4 (t) 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. Staff feels that the proposed addition will relate harmoniously to existing buildings in the area. (g) 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. Staff does not feel it is necessary to require any additional access easements as part of the proposed project. (h) 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. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. (7) 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).

They also propose some screening for the generator. Mr. O'Rourke moved the Development Review Board approve the site plan application of Merchants Bank to amend a previously approved plan for a 40,000 sq. ft. general office building including a 1600 sq. ft. bank with drive -through service.

Prior to issuance of a zoning permit, the applicant shall post a $1245 landscape bond. The bond shall remain in effect for three years to assure that the landscaping takes root and has a good chance of surviving. 15 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD 21 DECEMBER 1999 5.

They are all more toward what the public wanted. He showed the location of the 2 pocket parks. There will landscaping work adjacent to the 15t' hole. Mr. Dinklage said people have asked if there will be any structures in the pocket parks. Mr. Marshall said only what is there. Mr. McLane, a resident of the area, said that landscaping is blocking his view of the golf course. Mr. Magnus said he will look into it. Mr. Belair said if they make a change within 90 days that can be the plan of record.

Belair, Administrative Officer RIB/mcp 1 Encl C 14) MERCHANTS BANK - GENERATOR & PARKING WAIVER- SITE PLAN This project consists of amending a previous site plan approval for construction of a 40,000 square foot general office building including a 1600 sq. ft. bank with drive -through service granted on August 12, 1986 (minutes enclosed). The amendment consists of requesting a 23 space parking waiver and installing a generator. This property located at 275 Kennedy Drive lies within the C2 District. It is bounded on the west by Kennedy Drive, on the south by Kimball Avenue, on the north by Potash Brook, and on the east by an office building. The only issues presented by this application are parking and screening. Parking: The required number of parking spaces is 151. August 12, 1986, the Planning Commission approved 137 spaces which represented a 14 space waiver. The existing number of parking spaces is 128. The applicant is not proposing any new parking. The applicant is requesting a 23 space waiver which represents a 15% shortfall. The applicant has submitted a parking study which found that an average of 27-32 spaces are available at any time (see enclosed). Staff recommends granting the parking waiver because the existing parking has proven adequate for the building over the past 13 years. Landscaping: The applicant is proposing to plant $1,245 worth of landscaping along the exit to Kennedy Drive to screen the generator. The applicant will be required to post a landscape bond in the amount of $1,245 prior to the issuance of a zoning permit. The bond will remain in effect for three years to assure that the landscaping takes root and has a good chance of surviving. 13 Memorandum - City Engineer December 21, 1999 agenda items December 16, 1999 Page 2 MERCHANT BANKS - KIMBALL AVENUE & KENNEDY DRIVE - EMERGENCY GENERATOR CONCRETE PAD Site plan showing location of concrete pad for an emergency generator prepared by Gordon Woods Architect dated September 1999 is acceptable. ROMAN CATHOLIC DIOCESE - HINESBURG ROAD Site plan prepared by TK Landscape Architects dated 1999 is acceptable. F -Staf's opinion is that the applicant has a period of two years to obtain a permit for this project since it is being constructed in phases. WASTE SYSTEMS INTERNATIONAL, INC. (WSI) - CHANGE OF USE - 73 ETHAN ALLEN DRIVE This project consists of changing the use from a construction business to an auto service and repair business. This property located at 73 Ethan Allen Drive is located within the IC district. It is bounded on the north by Ethan Allen Drive, on the South by Commerce Avenue, on the east by an industrial building complex, and on the west by a vacant lot. Landscaping: The applicant is not proposing any new landscaping. Existing landscaping on the site is sufficient. Access/Circulation: Access is provided via a 31' curb cut on Commerce Avenue and via a 33' curb cut on Ethan Allen Drive. Circulation on the site is adequate. Parking: The parking requirement is 4 spaces. The applicant is providing 4 spaces, plus a handicapped space and a bike rack. Traffic: The applicant is not required to pay a road impact fee. Coverage/setbacks: The existing front yard coverage on Commerce Avenue is 63%. The maximum allowed is 30%. The applicant is proposing to convert part of the gravel area to greenspace in order to comply with the 30% requirement. The front yard on Ethan Allen Drive meets the requirement. Setback requirements have been met. Other: Staff visited the site and observed vehicles parked along the east side of the access drive from Ethan Allen Drive to the building. The applicant should be aware that vehicle storage in this area is prohibited. Staff recommends that these vehicles be removed. 4r� Id/N q MerC�r*S BOr,k MEMORANDUM To: South Burlington Development Review Board From: South Burlington Fire Department Re: December 21, 1999 agenda items Date: December 16, 1999 1) 2) 3) 4) Roman Catholic Diocese Dated 11/16/99 200 Hinesburg Road Acceptable National Gardening Association Dated 11/18/99 1100 Dorset Street Acceptable Merchants Bank Dated 11/29/99 275 Kennedy Drive Acceptable A&M Construction Dated 11/3/99 1035 & 1045 Hinesburg Road The new office building should be sprinklered and include a fire alarm. got f Vv" toots F4*, N dt Ilk i 'WW- 'I - 4f No Text w 10, 06. pop% 12/21/99 MOTION OF APPROVAL MERCHANTS BANK I move the South Burlington Development Review Board approve the site plan application of Merchants Bank to amend a previously approved plan for a 40,000 square foot general office building including a 1600 square foot bank with drive -through service.

The plan shall be amended to move the access to the west over the O'Brien property at the existing depressed curb which may be used as a curb cut for this purpose only. 7. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. Mr. Burgess seconded, and the motion passed 5-1 with Mrs. Maher voting against. 2. Continue site plan application of Nordic Ford for conversion of existing building to Nordic Pre -owned Autos and Rental Vehicles at 1519 Shelburne Road Mrs. Lafleur advised that Peter Allison asked to defer action until a later time. The item can be postponed until 16 September without running into the 60-day problem. Mr. Dooley moved that the Commission deny the site plan ap- plication of Nordic Ford for conversion of existing building to Nordic Pre -owned Autos and Rental Vehicles at 1519 Shelburne Rd., unless within a week the City Planner receives an agreement from Nordic Ford to waive the deadline 2 weeks beyond the 60-day deadline. Mrs. Maher seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 3. Continue 40,000 sq. branch bank and Kennedy site plan of Merchants Bank for ft. operations center including on lot 47, Business Park North, Drive construction of a a 1600 sq.. ft. Kimball Avenue Mrs. Lafleur advised that the sidewalk will be along Kimball Avenue and on Kennedy Drive to the end of the building. There is still discussion going on about the remaining frontage and the CO Zone and O'Brien land. Mr. Jacob said he spoke with the City Manager and they feel the situation is almost as bad as Palmer's, since there would have to be filling in the CO Zone. Mr. Schuele said it is very precarious if the CO Zone is filled. He is also concerned about the need for a pedestrian footpath, however. He suggested that if it can't be built now, money be put in escrow so it could be built later. He added that the Com- mission should consider this kind of issue at subdivision time, before it becomes a major problem. There is no question that if there is filling, the stream will be affected. He felt that a footpath could be constructed to the inside of the guardrail. Mrs. Maher recommended asking for a sizable fee to be put in escrow. She noted that the O'Brien land is zoned R-7, and there could be many people PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 4 living in the area one day. Concensus of the Commission was that the sidewalk end at the building. It was suggested that the applicant be required to put in an equivalent amount of sidewalk at some other location, and Mrs. Lafleur agreed to discuss this option with the City Attorney. Mrs. Lafleur then discussed the proposed traffic impact policy for the Williston Rd. area. Suggested improvements include traffic signals at Victoria Drive & Williston Rd, extra lanes at the interesection of Airport Drive, Williston Rd., and Kennedy Drive; a signal at Kimball Ave & Kennedy Drive, crosswalks and pedestrian signals at Kennedy Dr. & Williston Rd, traffic signals at Shunpike Rd. & Williston Rd, the widening of Williston Rd. from Clinton St. to the city line. The Merchants Bank would contribute 4% of the total amount based on traffic generated by their development. The Bank had no objection to this. A letter wma received from David Spitz indicated the signal timing changes needed at Kennedy Dr. & Williston Rd. The green arrow for left turning from Williston Rd. would be the applicant's responsibility. Mr. Woods indicated that green space has been increased by taking out parking from the Kimball Avenue side. The building has been pushed in a bit. This resulted in the loss of 14 parking spaces. Some evergreens have been placed in front and trees have been taken off the pedestrian easement. There will be rhododendrons around the base of the building. Mrs. Lafleur will discuss an alternate sidewalk site with Sonny Audette. Mr. Dooley then moved that the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of the Merchants Bank, Gordon Woods, agent, for construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. bank op- erations center including a 1600 sq. ft. branch bank on lot #7 of Business Park North as depicted on a plan entitled "New Operations Center for Merchants Bank, Kennedy Drive, South Burlington" prepared 12y Gordon G. Woods, dated May 1986, last revised 8/5/86 with the following stipulations: 1. A $20,000 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. 2. A sidewalk shall be constructed along Kimball Avenue and along Kennedy Drive from Kimball Avenue to the access drive. A bond for both sidewalks shall be posted prior to permit in an amount determined by the City Engineer. PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 5 3. The guard rail that is removed to build the sidewalk shall be removed and transported undamaged to the City Highway garage site. 4. Parking spaces for 151 vehicles are approved. Fourteen spaces are waived which represents 8% of the total. The 41 compact car spaces that represent 25% of the total are approved by the Planning Commission. 5. A 1500 gpd sewer allocation is made as a portion of the original 3020 gpd allocation for the 10-lot subdivision; 640 gpd remain for the undeveloped parcels. 6. The deceleration and acceleration lanes shall be con- structed Kennedy driveway curbed. with the granite curbing that is removed from Drive as well as any additional curbing to curb to the parking area. The island shall also be the 7. The signal modifications including a left turn arrow as proposed by David Spitz in a letter dated 8/8/86 shall be reviewed bv Craig Leiner at the Regional Planning Commission for appropriateness. If appropriate, these changes shall be made at the expense of the Merchants Bank. If a new or upgraded signal controller is required it shall be the responsibility of the applicant. 8. The Planning Commission finds that the proposed 45 foot height will 1)utilize topography and will relate to other ex- isting and proposed structures; 2)will not detract from scenic views of adjacent properties or public streets and walkways; and 3)will allow retention of additional green space that will enhance the appearance of the developed property. 9) A stormwater runoff control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to permit. 10. An easement shall be given to the City to reconstruct or add to the drainage pipe under Kennedy Drive. The City agrees to restore the distrubed area to its original condition. A written agreement or easement shall be submitted to the City Attorney for approval prior to permit. 11. The applicant shall contribute an amount determined by the City Planner in accordance with a formula based on the total number of trips in the Williston Rd. corridor and the amount projected �2y this development to p� for that share of intersection improvements over the next 10 years in the Williston Rd. corridor. That share shall not exceed 4% of PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 6 the total cost. 12. The applicant shall provide a sidewalk of 240 ft. length approved by the City Engineer on the east side of Kennedy Drive between Kimball Avenue and Hinesburg Rd. 13. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. Mr. Burgess seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 4. Consider sketch plan application of Semicon, Inc., for subdivision of 111.2 acre property into two lots of 31.2 acres with existing building and an 80 acre lot at 1000 Hinesburg Rd. Mrs. Lafleur noted that previous approvals outlined a roadway for the extension of Swift St. The area is encumbered by the CO District, airport approach area, and sewer easements. There are sewer lines in the developed parcel. Semicon wishes to subdivide into 2 lots so that the 80-acre area will encircle the developed area. They will have a 30-foot access road. There is no current proposal for the 80 acres. Mrs. Hurd commented that when Mitel wanted to build, they were required to leave land for agricultural uses. Mr. Perry noted there was a 5-year agricultural lease which expired this year. Mr. Dooley asked what the coverage would be on the 31.2 acres after the 80 acres are taken out. Mrs. Lafleur didn't know, but Mr. Perry said they are well below requirements. Mrs. Maher asked where it is most logical a building would be put in the new lot. Mrs. Lafleur said both saides are developable. Access would have to be secured by legal right-of-way. Mr. Schuele said he remembered the Planning Commission and City Council also set aside an area for agriculture, and Mrs. Lafleur will check on this. Mr. Krassner recollected Mitel indicating they might expand their building; they did not say they would sell off the land. Mrs. Lafleur said they did at one time get a 6,000 sq. ft. extention. City Council and Planning Commission minutes will be checked on the agricultural land/open'space issue, and discussion will continue on September 16. 5. PUBLIC HEARING: Preliminary Plat of Mery Brown for a 119 lot subdivision, a lot for future development, 14 acres of open space, and a 28 acre industrial lot on the Vermont Structural Steel property, 1175 Hinesburg Rd. Mr. Jacob stepped down during this discussion which was then chaired by Mr. Burgess. 7) MERCHANTS BANK, LOT #7, KIMBALL AND KENNEDY The Merchants Bank, (Gordon Woods, agent) proposes to construct a 40,000 square foot bank operations facility including a 1600 square foot branch bank (10,000 square feet per floor including a basement) on lot #7 of Business Park North on the corner of Kennedy Drive and Kimball Avenue. The 2.94 acre property is zoned Commercial-2; the northern portion of the property is within a conservation zone that will not be disturbed. Access: The original 10 lot subdivision set specific locations for curb cuts. A common shared curb cut serves lot #11, lot #6 (the existing Palmer -Digital Building), #5 (proposed Milot- O'Brien Office Building) and this lot. The stipulations in the original subdivision also include a curb cut on Kennedy Drive. The Commission required the Kennedy Drive access to have a right turn entrance and a right turn exit only as the plans show. (see enclosed memo of 3/24/86 and minutes of 4/4/78 and 10/23/79). The length and design of the decel lane/ramp should be designed to meet state standards. See Bill Szymanski's memo regarding this. Height: Section 18.112 states that the maximum height shall be 35 feet or 2 1/2 stories unless modified with setback increases and Planning Commission approval. This has been interpreted to mean the height at the front door, so the height from a basement level may actually be greater. This building will be 36 feet at the Kimball Avenue side and part of the Kennedy drive side. The setback has been increased one foot as required. The height from the Williston Road rear side will be 48 feet. Circulation: Circulation is adequate on the lot with sufficient aisle width and stacking space for a drive up bank window. Evi- dently, the Commission has retained the right to use a connection through the CO Zone to lot #8 (Dan O'Brien's office/Vermont National Bank building). This does not appear feasible given the grade and narrow width of the O'Brien Drive. Parking: The plans show 165 parking spaces; 162 are required for the 1600 square foot branch bank and the 38,400 square foot operations center. There are 42 compact car spaces representing 25% of the total. This ratio needs Planning Commission approval. A landscaped buffer is shown along the edge of the parking lot so there is space for snow in winter. However, this is also the location of a 15 foot pedestrian trail that is shown on the final subdivision plat. In order to keep the trail from being part of the paved parking lot, the lot will have to be moved closed to Kennedy drive. When moved, the front ,yard lot coverage requirement, should be cheek so that, it does not exceed 30%. 4 Landscaping: This building requires $20,000 in new landscaping. The landscaping plan meets this requirement with large crab and norway maple, locus and spreading yews. The parking lot will be bordered with large trees. Traffic: A traffic study prepared by David Spitz and Craig Leiner's critique are enclosed. Given Craig's reservation and the need for more information, this issue should probably be tabled for 2 weeks. As you will notice in the original 1978 subdivision minutes the Commission discussed limiting construction by the level of ser- vice produced. This was not stipulated at final plat as the preliminary plat approval suggested. However, the Commission reserved the right to require each developer to contribute toward signalization improvements at Kennedy Drive and Kimball. (see stipulation #7 and #1 in minutes of 4/4/78, and O'Brien memo, item #11). Sidewalks: A sidewalk should be constructed along Kimball as well as the Kennedy Drive frontage. The Kimball Avenue sidewalk should connect to the sidewalk required of the O'Brien property and the existing building. This should be shown on the plans. Lot coverage: Total lot coverage is 65%. The maximum is 70%. The building coverage is 8%; the maximum is 30% Sewer: The original subdivision received 3020 gpd. for the 10 lot development. The Palmer office uses 220 the O'Brien Bank used 210 gpd; the Milot-O'Brien office required 450. This build- ing requires 1500 gpd. from the balance of the original alloca- tion. Other: See Bill Szymanski's and Jim Goddette's comments. 9 �Dlltlj I tirlillgtou Sire 1Departlllent. 575 1Duroct Street *nut4 iBurlington, lRermnut 05401 OFFICE OF JAMES W. GODDETTE, SR.

Woods, dated May, 1986, last revised 8/5/86 with the following stipulations: 1) A $20,000 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. 2) A sidewalk shall be constructed along Kimball Avenue and along Kennedy Drive from Kimball Avenue to the access drive. A bond for both sidewalks shall be posted prior to ermit in a ount determiKipd by the City Engineer. oQ �vl �,► �L )K ow,, Ya 5fi c�� S�&� eN K - _Q) 3) The guard rail that is removed to build the sidewalk shall be removed and transported undamaged to the City Highway garage site. 4) Parking spaces for 151 vehicles are approved. Fourteen spaces are waived which represents 8% of the total, The 41 compact cars P�C�that represent 25% of the total are approved by the Planning Commission. 5) A 1500 gpd sewer allocation is made as a portion of the original 3020 gpd allocation for the 10 lot subdivision; 640 gpd remain for the undeveloped parcels. 6) The deceleration and acceleration lanes shall be constructed with the granite curbing that is removed from Kennedy Drive as well as any additional curbing to curb the driveway to the parking area. The island shall also be curbed. 7) The signal modifications including a left turn arrow as proposed by David Spitz in a letter dated 8/8/86 shall be reviewed by Craig Leiner at the Regional Planning Commission for appropriateness. If appropriate, these changes shall be made at the expense of the Merchants Bank. If a new or upgraded signal controller is required it shall be the responsibility of the applicant. 8) The Planning Commission finds that the proposed 45 foot height will 1) utilize topography and will relate to other existing and proposed structures; 2) will not detract from scenic views of adjacent properties or public streets and walk- ways; and 3) will allow retention of additional green space that will enhance the appearance of the developed property. 9) A storm water runoff control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to permit. 10) An easement shall be given to the City to reconstruct or add to the drainage pipe under Kennedy Drive. The City agrees to. restore the disturbed area to its original condition. A written agreement or easement shall be submitted to the City Attorney for approval prior to permit. 11) The applicant shall contribute an amount determined by the City Planner in accordance with a formula based on the total number of trips in the Williston Road corridor and the amount projected by this development to pay for that share of intersec- tion improvements over the nextJ6 year in the Williston Road. corridor. That share shall not exceed q % of the total cost. 12 The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. �a) s�A�al,� a`1p K„r,i�fA d FI YL.A Page 6 Findings of Fact #4C0310-6 of directional signs to further reinforce the right turn only design of the Kennedy Drive access (testimony of the applicants). The sight distance is greater than a 1000 feet in both direction at either access point and the posted speed limit for Kennedy Drive is 40 miles per hour (Exhibit #5). 14. The applicants estimated that the project will generate approximately 1321 weekday vehicle trips on the average each day, including 103 AM peak hour trips and 185 PM peak hour trips (Exhibit #22). 15. The Kennedy Drive -Williston Road intersection is the closest signalized intersection that will be impacted by this project (Exhibit #21). The Applicant estimates that the current Level of Service (LOS) for the intersection is a LOS C and that this project will generate additional traffic which will create a LOS between C and D, or increase traffic delays from 19.39 to 22.00 seconds (Exhibits #21 and #22 and testimony of the applicant). The applicants' traffic consultant indicates that the LOS could remain at C with certain improvements to the phasing of the current signal timing. The revised signal phasing has been proposed to the City of South Burlington by the applicants. The City has identified those projects providing additional traffic impacts to the intersection and will require the applicants to contribute its fair share towards any additional intersection improvements requires (Exhibit #22 and testimony of applicants). SECTION 6086(a) (8) AESTHETICS, SCENIC BEAUTY, HISTORIC SITES & NATURAL AREAS: The Commission finds that this project will not have an undue adverse effect on the scenic or natural beauty of the area, aesthetics, historic sites, or rare and irreplaceable natural areas. This finding depends on and is supported by the following: 16. Historic sites, necessary wildlife habitat and rare and irreplaceable natural areas will not be affected by this project (Exhibit #5). 17. The present site is open with a few trees (Exhibit #5). The project will be landscaped as outlined on Exhibit #6B. The existing trees in the conservation zone will not be cut. The applicants will be responsible for the continual maintenance of the landscaping (Exhibit #5). Page 7 Findings of Fact #4C0310-6 18. Exterior lighting will consist of pole mounted downshielded fixtures as depicted on Exhibit V . All fixtures will have concealed light sources. 19. The building will be constructed as depicted on Exhibit #12 with a brick facade. 20. The trash recepticle will be screened and all utilities will be located underground (Exhibits #5 and #6B). A sign has not yet been designed and the Commission will require that the applicants submit sign plans for review and approval prior to the installation of any sign. SECTION 6086(a) (9) (F) ENERGY CONSERVATION: The Commission finds that the planning and design of this office building reflects the principals of energy conservation and incorporates the best available technology for the efficient use or recovery of energy. This finding depends on and is supported by the following: 21. The buildings will be constructed with an insulation "R" factor of at least R-19 in the walls, at least R-19 in the roof or cap, and at least R-10 in the foundation walls. Additional measures to conserve energy include double - glazed windows (Exhibits #18 and #19). SECTION 6086(a) (9) (J) PUBLIC UTILITY SERVICES: The Commission finds that utility service is available to this project, that an excessive or uneconomic demand will not be placed on such facilities or services, and that the provision of such services has been planned on the basis of a projection of reasonable population increase and economic growth as evidenced by the letters from Vermont Gas and Green Mountain Power Corporation (Exhibits #20 and #26). CONSTRUCTION COMPLETION AND EXPIRATION DATES: The Commission finds that the expiration date of #4C0310-5, September 30, 2014, should be sufficient to cover the expected useful life of this building.

This plan conforms with the Comprehensive Plan of South Burlingotn. The Commission granted a sewer allocation of 1500 gpd that is part of the 3020 gallons per day for the entire 10 lot subdivision. Sincerely, Jane B. Lafleur, City Planner JBL/mcp cc: Gordon Woods PLANNING COMMISSION 5 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 2 Vermont, Proposed Addition" prepared �?y Casey Construction, dated March 1986, last revised June 16, 1986 because of the following reasons: 1. Construction of a building within the water easement on the north side of the building is not permitted. 2. New landscaping shall not be permitted within the right- of-way. 3. The southern curb cut on Shelburne Rd. is not deleted on the plans as instructed 12y the Planning Commission. Ms. Peacock seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 5. Continue site plan application 2� Merchants Bank for construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. operations center including a 1600 sq. ft branch bank on lot #7 of Bu siness Park North, Kimball Avenue & Kennedy Drive. Traffic Consultant Craig Leiner said he met with Dave Spitz and that they agree on trip generation, access points, and source data. Question of development of design hourly volumes and the lack of an AM analysis have also been resolved. They differ on level of service estimates at Williston Rd. and Kennedy Drive. Their differences are as follows: Development Condition Spitz Leiner 1986 w/o bank C 19.39 sec delay D 27.1 sec delay 1986 w/bank C 22 sec delay D 30.7 sec delay 1991 w/o bank E 52.15 sec delay oversaturated 1991 w/bank E 59.67 sec delay oversaturated Mr. Leiner agrees that with modified signal timing the intersection can be brought to a better level of service, but there is just so far you can go with modified timing. The worst problem will be westbound traffic,.and he felt there should be a plan for capacity improvement. Mrs. Lafleur said this is important because it must be level of service C. Mr. Belter asked if the Commission can make this developer pay for an existing problem that someone else caused. Mr. Leiner said he would recommend getting some money from all developers till there is enough for improvements such as a turning lane westbound. Mr. Spitz said he felt 2 factors cause the discrepancy between himself and Mr. Leiner: consideration of right turn on red vehicles, and his assumption that cars will use part PLANNING COMMISSION 5 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 3 of the yellow signal for turning. He said they are prepared to pay for signal modification and to contribute to future improvements. He felt that signal modification money should be credited to future improvements. Mrs. Lafleur will prepare figures for improvement funds. She added that the be consisted with what was done at Lakewood, this developer would pay for the signal and also would contribute to future improvements. On other issues, the pedestrian trail has been removed from the parking lot and some trees have been moved. The question of the sidewalk was considered. Mr. Szymanski wants a side- walk on Kennedy Drive to the end of the length of the bank building. Mrs. Maher said she felt the developer should put in a full sidewalk. Mrs. Lafleur will check with Mr. Szyman- ski as to why he made his recommendation and a1So on the question of filling to be done in the CO zone. Mr. Woods said they have agreed to fill and put in a culvert and mow to the curb on Kennedy Drive. With regard to drainage, Water Resources won't accept holding ponds, so they want to drain through the grassed area. On the subject of building height, the Kimball Avenue side of the building is 36 ft. They are requesting 45 ft. in the back (basement + 3 floors). Mr. Woods noted the Palmer Building is 41 ft. on one side including the air conditioning unit. Mrs. Lafleur noted that setbacks have been increased proportionally. Mr. Woods noted that lot coverage is 65% but could be as much as 70%. A poll of members showed that the majority did not object to the 45 ft. height. Mrs. Maher felt their arguments were very poor as far as criteria, and Mr. Dooley and Mrs. Hurd felt they would like to see more green space. Mr. Dooley felt that the 4 stories resulted in less green space because of the additional parking required. Mrs. Lafleur will look at parking to see if it can be reduced in favor of more green space. Mrs. Maher felt there should be some evergreen trees which minimize visual impace. Regarding the future access question, Mrs. Lafleur didn't like it as it will bring more traffic out onto Williston Rd. and also goes through the middle of a very dense CO Zone which she felt should not be disturbed. Mr. Dooley then moved to continue the hearing for one week. Mr. Belter seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 6.

Segment 1 includes the Gaynes/Sheraton and Holiday Inn/HoJo's area shown on tax maps #6, #7, #15, #16. Segment 2 includes the heavily developed commercial area and the lesser developed area to the east shown on tax maps 9, 12, 17, and 18. Segment 3 includes the Kennedy Drive/Airport Drive intersection east to the City limits shown on tax maps 14, 19, 20, 21, 29, and 32. The impact fee is based on: 1) the undeveloped land in each segment; 2) an estimate of the development potential of the undeveloped acreage; 3) an estimate of the peak hour trip ends for the unde- veloped acreage; and 4) the required traffic improvements and costs. Each development proposal in the impact area will contribute to the total trips projected for the corridor. Those trips are a share of the total trips estimated over the next 10 years. That share shall be paid toward the total cost of Williston Road improvements. The following improvements shall be made with the impact, fees: Segment #1 (No improvements planned yet) Segment #2 'a in K IaDC,� o10J,OL'3 1 ) Widen Williston Road to 5 lanes ( Dorset to Hinesburg) . 3o,L)0C) 2) Set of traffic signals at intersection of Patchen Road and White Street. 3) Crosswalks and pedestrian actuated signals. Segment #3 1) Set of traffic signals at intersection of Victoria Drive - Williston Road to allow cars to exit out of Mayfair Park where movement is mainly to the west. 3oa�aon x\C�6- 3oa30 2 ) Extra lanes at intersection of Airport Drive, Kennedy Drive and Williston Road. 3a/DJ 3) A set of traffic signals at Kimball Avenue and Kenned�- Drive especially as Kimball Avenue, Shunpike Road and Williston develop. �oDp fi 4) Crosswalks and pedestrian actuated signals at Kennedy/Williston intersection. 5) Widen Williston Road from Clinton Street. to City line to 4 lanes (State). M 6) 'Traffic signals at Shunpike - Williston Road intersection (State). The following are estimates of undeveloped acreage, building growth and trip generation: Impact Area 1 Commercial 1: Impact area 2 Commercial 1: Residential 4: Impact Area 3 Commercial 1: Commercial 2: 70.38 acres x 43560 = 3,065,753 x 30% coverage = 919,726 x 2.84 trip ends/1000 gfa = 2,612 11.48 acres x 43560 = 500,06,8 x 30% coverage = 150,021 x 2.84/1000 = 426 11.13 acres - 15% = 9.36 x 4 units/acre x 1 trip end/unit = 38 TOTAL TRIP ENDS = 464 82.46 acres x 43560 = 3,591,957.6 x 30% coverage = 1,077,587.2 square feet 24.05 acres x 43560 = 1,047,618 x 30% coverage = 314,285.4 square feet Industrial -Commercial: 164.3 acres x 43560 = 7,156,908 x 30% coverage = 2,147,072.4 square feet Total Commercial: 3,538,945 square feet..x 2.84 trips/1000 square feet = 10,051 trip ends Residential 4: 18.39 x 4 units/acre 73.56 w►15% = 63 x 1 trip end/unit = 63 trips TOTAL = 10,114 trip ends. If we assume that all of this land will be developed in 20 years, and we want to pay for the improvements in 10 years, we must assume that half of the total trip ends will be generated in 10 years. 2 y Impact Area 1: 1306 trip ends Impact Area 2: 232 trip ends Impact Area 3: 5,057 trip ends The Planning Commission recognizes that these estimates may be changed as properties are developed and modifications to the list of improvements may be required. The Commission reserves the right to adjust this policy as required. (The Merchants Bank will contribute 4% (185 / 5,057) of the future growth in Segment 3. Therefore 4% of the cost, of these improvements shall be paid prior to permit.) 3 '�1 i `ice � - � �1' •!+"' ;°.� " '•"J'�r.�i1 • �' �'� a; �:J► I '' t 'ate• ! ! � Mj4 . �3� a!• 7;�'.�' � I�.ys•w / � .7"�'..2' '• � .,��.: ,ilk �� /%/ 1. d •� Y-•:�^:•• '�'� -it E 'r M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J. Szymanski, City Manager Re: August 12, 1986 agenda items Date: August 8, 1986 3) NORDIC CAR RENTAL, SHELBURNE ROAD 1. The 30 foot ditch along Bartletts Bay should be eliminated and existing pipe extended beyond the entrance drive. 2. Plans are difficult to read. There are lines that are not identified such as the one behind the G.E. Supply Building and one in rear parking island. 4) MERCHANTS BANK, KENNEDY DRIVE. 1. Construction of a sidewalk along Kennedy Drive from the bank access drive to the northerly property line would require a considerable amount of filling. To do this would also require permission from the adjacent owner. The cost estimate for doing this work amounts to approximately $45,500 assuming all required fill material is trucked in from the outside. If surplus fill from the site, such as from the building site is available then that cost can be reduced. The City has plans for jacking another pipe across Kennedy Drive and from the information available it appears this filling will extend into that area adding some extra expense to the project. Continuing the sidewalk northerly to Williston Road will be the responsibility of the City. No estimate of that cost has been made but it will be considerable (+$50,000) 2. Comments from previous memo's still apply. 5) SEMICON INC., HINESBURG ROAD 1. The property should be subdivided so that existing utilities mainly water and sewer could be used for future development. The access road can also be upgraded and become a public street to serve adjacent development. 1 August 8, 1936 Gordon Woods 104 Church Street Burlington, Vermont 05401 Re: Merchants Bank, Kimball and Kennedy Drive Dear Gordon: Enclosed are the agenda and my memo to the Planning Commission.

Woods, dated May, 1986, printed 6/30/86 with the following stipulations: 1) A $20,000 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. 2) A sidewalk shall be constructed along Kimball Avenue and along Kennedy Drive from Kimball Avenue to the access drive. A bond shall be posted for this prior to permit in an amount determined by the City Engineer. 3) The guard rail that is removed to build the sidewalk shall be removed and transported undamaged to the City Highway garage site. 4) The 42 compact cars that represent 25% of the total are approved by the Planning Commission. 5) A 1500 gpd sewer allocation is made as a portion of the original 3020 gpd allocation for the 10 lot subdivision; 640 gpd remain for the undeveloped parcels. 6) The deceleration and acceleration lanes shall be constructed with the granite curbing that is removed from Kennedy Drive as well as any additional curbing to curb the driveway to the parking area. The island shall also be curbed. 7) The Planning Commission finds that the proposed 45 foot height will 1) utilize topography and will relate to other existing and proposed structures; 2) will not detract from scenic views of adjacent properties or public streets and walk- ways; and 3) will allow retention of additional green space that will enhance the appearance of the developed property. 8) A storm water runoff control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to permit. 9) An easement shall be given to the City to reconstruct or add to the drainage pipe under Kennedy Drive. The City agrees to restore the disturbed area to its original condition. 10) The applicant shall contribute an amount determined by the City Planner in accordance with a formula based on the total number of trips in the Williston Road corridor and the amount projected by this development to pay for that share of intersec- tion improvements over the next 5 years in the Williston Road corridor. 11) The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. 1 8/14/86 Sonny - I will be on vacation for 2 weeks but I wanted to let you know about the new Merchants Bank before I go. 1) They will be installing a sidewalk on Kimball from where it ends to Kennedy Drive. Also, they will continue it to their new driveway on Kennedy Drive. Instead of going further north beyond their new drive towards Williston Road, since it would require a lot of fill and may damage the CO Zone, they are required to put 240 feet further west on Kennedy Drive to attach to the existing sidewalk near the condos. 2) They are required to install a left turn arrow for west bound turns from Williston Road to Kennedy Drive. Signal timing will also be changed. 3) They are required to contribute to future intersection improvements on Williston Road. Thanks. The minutes will be available soon. We can discuss these when I get back if you want. NORTH COUNTRY PLANNING i Jane Lafleur, City Planner 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05401 P.O. Box 333 Winooski.

BOX 108 ESSEX JUNCTION, VERMONT 05452 802 658-3004 July 17, 1986 Jane Lafleur, Planner City of South Burlington 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, Vermont 05LI01 Dear Jane: I have reviewed the traffic impact study prepared for the proposed Merchants Bank facility which, according to the study is to encompass 38,400 square feet of data processing and public banking uses. In general, it was difficult for me to develop recommendations because much of the source data needed to substantiate the analysis is not provided in the report. My specific comments are as follows: 1. The consultant states that "both access points can operate safely." This may be true; however, the proposed access plan creates a short weaving section on Kennedy Drive, between the Kimball/Kennedy intersection and the right turn into the site. Did the consultant perform a weaving analysis to determine the extent of vehicle conflicts? 2. The consultant states that Williston/Kennedy can operate at LOS C with signal modifications. However, no operational analysis of this location under current timing is presented. I agree that volumes from the east are higher in the evening; however, a count performed by CCRPC in June 1986 shows substantial volumes from the west. An analysis using the June 1986 CCRPC volumes indicated this intersection is currently operating at close to level of service E. I re -analyzed the intersection using the phasing suggested by the consultant, and indeed intersection 20 Years of Service to the Municipalities of ... Bolton Burlington Charlotte Colchester Essex Junction Essex Town Hinesburg Huntington Jericho Milton Richmond St. George Shelburne So. Burlington Underhill Westford Williston Winooski Jane Lafleur -2- July 17, 1986 operations improved to LOS D. Thus, the consultant's suggestion certainly has merit, but there is a limit to how far this approach can be taken. For example, if future growth results in increased volumes on other approaches, signal timing and phasing options will be limited. Consequently, if the consultant's suggestion is to be pursued, I suggest the intersection signal timing be optimized using software such as SOAP84. 3. On page three of the report, six traffic counts are referenced. Without having this data included in an appendix to the report, it it difficult to verify the reasonableness of the Design Hourly Volumes. 4. The consultant uses employee trip rates to generate traffic from the proposed use. This is unacceptable. Numbers of employees are subject to change over time. Trip generation should be based on square feet of the proposed use. In this instance, using square feet rather than employees results in a change in estimated p.m. peak hour trips from 65 to 81. Further, the consultant uses a local estimate for generating trips from the bank facility; this may be acceptable, but again supporting documentation is not provided on how this local data was collected and applied. 5. On page 7, the consultant notes an analysis was done for the PM hour only, stating that "AM volumes are considerably lower and should not affect capacity determinations." As I have emphasized in previous reviews of traffic studies, the AM hour should not be ignored at a consultant's discretion. The South Burlington Planning Commission or its staff should make the determination as to whether an AM analysis is necessary. 6. The consultant used a planning analysis to develop Table 3, but attaches an operational analysis for 1986 with development and modified signal phasing. No cycle length is given, and the computed intersection delay of 24.48 seconds is within 0.62 seconds of going from LOS C to LOS D. Further, this re -allocation of -green time to the east approach may result in increased delay on some other approach. The Planning Commission should know that the additional green time must be taken from another approach, unless the total cycle length is increased. In addition, an operational analysis should be performed for all design years on Table 3. Jane Lafleur -3- July 17, 1986 In summary, I think this intersection is currently operating near LOS E and might be improved with signal modifications. I performed an operational analysis for 1991 with and without the development, and I have come to some preliminary conclusions, but I am deferring my recommendations since the study in its present form is, in my opinion, incomplete. If you have any questions, please call.

Responses are numbered to correspond with the reviewer's comments. 1) A formal weaving analysis was determined at a joint meeting to be unnecessary at this site. The consultant will accept the reviewer's determination that both acceleration and deceleration lanes should be provided at the Kennedy Drive entrance. 2) This addendum contains an operational analysis of the Williston/ Kennedy intersection with current signal timing. Overall intersection delay for 1986 P.M. DHV (design hour volume) is calculated at level of service C, with or without the development. Inclusion of development traffic increases delay from 19.39 to 22.00 seconds. 3) All back-up traffic counts are concluded in the appendix. 4) Trip rates for the "non-public" portion of the bank are now based on square feet rather than employees. Also, the total square footage for this portion of the bank has been corrected from 36,800 square feet to 38,400 square feet. Drive-in bank traffic is based on a composite of ITE and local traffic counts. Two ITE methods produce estimates of 40 or 70 p.m, peak hour trips. Actual counts at two nearby banks produced 4 to 5 p.m, totals from 37 trips at the Vermont National Bank on Williston Road to 134 trips at the Bank of Vermont on Kennedy Drive. Based on location and type of facility, the Merchants Bank is estimated at 100 trips for the p.m, peak hour. 5) A.M. calculations are now included for 1991 DHV with develop- ment at the Williston/Kennedy intersection. Since calculations for that time period are at level of service C, no further calculations were deemed to be necessary. Merchants Bank, Kimball Avenue Traffic Impact Report - Addendum 8/5/86 page 2 6) Operational analyses for all p.m. conditions are contained in this addendum. Whenever green time has been reallocated (as in the 1991 calculations), delays for all approaches are closely specified on the work sheets. Overall intersection delays are listed below. Time Period 1986 P.M. DHV Without Developmt 1986 P.M. DHV With Development 1991 P.M. DHV Without Developmt 1991 P.M. DHV With Development 1991 P.M. DHV With Development, Revised Phasing * 1991 A.M.

Other time periods might produce similar ranges for total intersection delay under varying assumptions. The above results indicate that the Williston/Kennedy intersection can operate at a satisfactory level of service for the 1986 design hour. If revised signal timing is implemented, the intersection will operate either just above or just below the C to D threshhold by the 1991 design hour. This consultant continues to recommend implementation of revised signal timing for the short term. Eventually, additional intersection improvements will become necessary - most likely a new left turn lane for the Williston Road East approach. The Merchants Bank can be expected to contribute its fair share towards those eventual improvements. Please contact me if any additional information is required. Sincerely, 9)az S/� -- David H.

DHV at this intersection reflect two changes: (1) higher development traffic volumes from Table 1 and (2) a slightly higher DHV/average peak hour ratio (1.175). Base data are from a Vermont Agency of Transportation June 1984 turning movement count. In calculating volumes for the 1986 A.M. DHV it was determined that Vermont Agency of transportation 1984 counts do not accurately reflect current conditions. A more recent May 1986 count provided by the Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization is used with adjust- ments for DHV/average peak hour (1.15) and for the month of May (.90). A 2% annual growth rate is used to calculate 1991 volumes for both A.M. and P.M. DHV. For all counts, additional development traffic is underlined. 1986 and 1991 A.M. and P.M. counts are given in Figures 3 through 6. Operational analyses for 1991 A.M. with development and for 1986 and 1991 P.M. with and without development are included in the appendix.

The study addresses both immediate access points to the building as well as two nearby intersections - Kennedy Drive/Kimball Avenue and Williston Road/Kennedy Drive. Business Park North was originally set up as a planned development with controlled access points. The current proposal conforms to the original plans with a shared access on Kimball Avenue and a right turn in/ right turn out access on Kennedy Drive. Both access points can operate safely and without congestion as long as intersection geometrics clearly prohibit left turns at the Kennedy Drive access. Trip generation estimates for the 36,800 square foot building include both data processing and internal bank functions as well as a public drive-in/walk-in banking facili The total peak hour volume of 165 trips is considerably below the 330 trips that were originally approved for this lot in the Business ark North application. The closest signalized intersection at Williston Road and Kennedy Drive can operate at level of service C in 1986 if certain signal phasing modifications are made. Since p.m. peak hour traffic volumes are con- siderably higher from the east than from the west, this report recommends that up to 10 seconds of advanced green time be allocated to the Williston East approach (similar recommendations have been made in previous reports). No changes should be necessary for a.m. peak or off-peak hours. Regardless of any signal adjustments, the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection can be expected to drop into level of service D shortly - with or without this development. In other words, even if no development takes place in South Burlington, traffic from Williston and beyond will continue to place pressure on this intersection. Merchants Bank, Kimball Avenue Traffic Impact Report 7/12/86 page 2 The unsignalized Kennedy Drive/Kimball Avenue intersection can operate within acceptable limits both in 1986 and 1991. Most turning movements will be at level of service A. However, as frequently occurs, left turns from the minor street (Kimball Avenue) onto the major street (Kennedy Drive) will operate at level of service E. By 1991, sufficient gaps in Kennedy Drive traffic will still be available for Kimball Avenue left turns but will be fairly limited. In conclusion, the proposed Merchants Bank facility is appropriately located with access points that are part of a planned circulation pattern. The development can meet all planned commercial development standards for 1986, and the bank's traffic volumes are reasonable for this location. This report recommends certain short term signal phasing adjustments, and the City may wish to start evaluating longer term improvements at the two nearby intersections. Those evaluations would be appropriate regardless of any traffic from the Merchants Bank (5.2% increase to the Kennedy Drive/ Kimball Avenue intersection and 3.5% increase to the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection). Please let me know if any additional information or comments are required. Sincerely, David H. Spitz cc: South Burlington Planning Commission Gordon Woods Merchants Bank, Kimball Avenue 7/12/86 Traffic Impact Report page 3 Study Area and Data Sources The study area includes the two access points to the Merchants Bank and two nearby intersections. Capacity analyses are done for the Kimball Avenue/Kennedy Drive intersection (unsignalized) and the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive/Airport Drive intersection (signalized). Traffic counts are provided by the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VAOT) and by North Country Planning (NCP) and include the following. VAOT, TM #414-7, 6/11 & 7/26/82, Kennedy Drive/Kimball Avenue VAOT, TM #414-3, 6/28 & 6/29/84, US 2/Kennedy Drive/Airport Drive VAOT, ATR #D 4507 8/19 - 8/26/85, Kimball Avenue east of Old Farm Rd VAOT, ATR BCD 464, 9/19 - 9/25/85, Kimball Avenue west of Old Farm Rd NCP, 7-8 a.m., 6/27/86, Kennedy Drive/Kimball Avenue NCP, 4-5 p.m., 6/26/86, Kennedy Drive/Kimball Avenue Design hour volumes are derived from the above counts for 1986 and 1991. An annual growth rate of 2% is estimated for the study area in addi- tion to projected development traffic. Development Traffic Volumes Traffic volume estimates are based on information provided by the Merchants Bank plus data from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). The bank facility will contain a total of 36,800 square feet. The majority of the building will contain data processing and other internal bank functions. In addition, there will be a 1600 square foot drive-in and walk-in public banking area. Total anticipated employees at the site will be 98 during the 1st shift, 15 during the 2nd shift and 7 during the 3rd shift. Since the operating characteristics of the bank are essentially those of an office building, ITE trip rates per employee for general office buildings are used. Local estimates are used for the public banking faci- lity (previous studies by North Country Planning indicate that the ITE rates are too low for most drive-in banks).

Sources include turning movement counts at Treetop condominiums and nearby intersections as well as an origin/desti- nation study of Digital employees. Based on these sources, this report estimates main travel routes as follows: East (via Kimball Avenue and Williston Road) - 30%; Southwest (via Kennedy Drive) - 20%; North and West (via Williston road and Airport Drive) - 50%. This report further assigns trips to each of the two proposed development access points. A basic assumption is that the Kennedy Drive access will be right turn in, right turn out only. Complete turning movements for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours are given in Figures 1 and 2. Proposed Development Entrances As part of the approval for the Business Park North development in 1978, specific access locations were identified. The current application complies with the original plan with a shared access on Kimball Avenue and a right turn in/ right turn out access on Kennedy Drive. Both access points have good visibility and can operate with minimal congestion. How- ever, if turning movement conflicts on Kennedy Drive are to be avoided, the entrance design must clearly discourage left turn in and left turn out movements. It should be noted that the projected turning movements in Figures 1 and 2 are considerably below the volumes projected for this lot in the original approval.

DHV A Left " E Right " A Left P.M. DHV A Left " E Right " A The above levels of service are common for minor streets attempting to turn onto major thoroughfares in South Burlington. To this point, con- ditions do not justify installation of a traffic signal; however, signal warrants should be carefully watched as development continues on Kimball Avenue. To some extent, left turning conditions from Kimball avenue will be affected by the Williston Road/Kennedy Drive intersection (see below). Williston Road/Kennedy Drive Intersection This intersection is analyzed only for the P.M. design hour. A.M. volumes are considerably lower and should not affect capacity determinations. 1986 and 1991 p.m. design hour volumes are given in Figures 5 and 6. Development traffic volumes are underlined. An informal analysis, using "Planning Application" methods from the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, yields the results as shown in Table 3.

For the short term, the intersection can operate satisfactorily. A capacity analysis for 1986 with development (worksheet 3) shows that level of service C can be retained with certain signal adjustments. The most critical move- ment is Williston Road left turns onto Kennedy Drive. Improvement here could also help relieve left turn pressure from Kimball Avenue onto Kennedy Drive. 10-34 URBAN STREETS (�✓ l�/ ✓ ��{.1 / �I WORKSHEET FOR FOUR -LEG INTERSECTIONS Page 1 Location: P nn P ' ��--�AfT � P Name: HOURLY VOLUMES Grade 0 % D ' STOP � 2 6N N = � YIELD❑ V12 V„ V,o N 1 V6 3�2 N=® V, N= Grade % 6 V � V, Grade % �_ � major road 3�IFST01"D N =0 V, V, YIELD ❑ iV�, / -u Date of counts: q /it • 0 �/ minor road Time Period: 1AIvP 7n+p,; Average Running Speed: PHF: I1,0PI1pr Grade L % VOLUME ADJUSTMENTS Movement No. 1 27r 3 4 5 6 7 8 91/0` 1/1 12 Volume (vph) 16 I�/ c � IJ I' I, '7dv be 1i D rp 1 6 of �� Vol. (pcph), see Table 10-1 USQ �� LY' c %� J_�j 1L m VOLUMES IN PCPH NA v12 vll v10 V6 NA v5 NA v' Vq Ow v2 NA v3 V, V8 V9 r.vern_w,wi 771:n I1'JTF12C17C-rT 1NS vt � V --, 1 �'� / 1� WORKSHEET FOR FOUR -LEG INTERSECTIONS Page 2 STEP 1: RT From Minor Street I V9 J V12 Conflicting Flows, Vc 1/2 V3 + V2 = Vc9 d q-5 3 0 1/2 V, + V5 = V,12 a 6 + L1,00 = vph � + = , vph Critical Gap, T, (Tab. 10-2) 0 (sec) e ) (sec) Potential Capacity, cp (Fig. 10-3) CP9 = 0 pcph / cp12 = pcph Percent of cP Utilized (V,/CP9) X 100 = % (v12/CP,2) X 100 = % Impedance Factor, P (Fig. 10-5) P9 = I Q P 12 = • q J On Actual Capacity, C,,, cm, = CP9 = //o pcph Cm,2 = cP12 = pcph STEP 2: LT From Major Street V4 V' Conflicting Flows, Vc V3 + V2 = VC4 306 V6 + V5 = VC, 5L +//())= 1/1 � vph I_+,95 = vph Critical Gap, T, (Tab. 10-2) 5,45 (sec) 25 (sec) Potential Capacity, cP (Fig. 10-3) 81-0 - cP, — pcph = ��)�� c P1 pcph � `' y Percent of cP Utilized n.

The 24 foot. wide road connection is located 20 feet from the northeast. corner of the Merchant's Bank property. The grade to the O'Brien bank is quite steep; a connection between the two properties is likely to add a number of left, turning vehicles onto Wi_11iston Road. This should be avoided. 6) BARNES, 27 MEADOW ROAD Enclosed is a memo from me regarding Spoke's opinion on the four issues raised by the Commission. 7) LARKIN, LOT 39, HARBOR VIEW ROAD Several months ago Mr.. Larkin requested an extension to the site plan approval for construction of a 20,000 square foot office building on lot #9 of the Bartlett property. The Commission postponed action until. an erosion and runoff evaluation from Wagner, Heinde.l. and Noyes was obtained. That; evaluation is enclosed. They recommend no detention due to the location of the site within the watershed. The only other new condition of approval will be the intersection improvement fund contribution. The original memos and minutes are enclosed to describe the project to the new Planning Commis- sion members. 2 August 4, 1986 Gordon Woods 104 Church Street Burlington, Vermont 05401 Res Merchants Bank, Kimball & Kennedy Drive Dear Gordon: Enclosed are the July 22, 1986 Planning Commission minutes.

The Kennedy Drive sidewalk should be constructed to the access drive. Construction beyond that would require a large quantity of fill. material which in order to make the walkway usable would have to continue northerly; and also the large culvert under Kennedy Drive would have to be extended. 2. The guard rail along Kennedy Drive where filling for si(iei:allc will take place shall be removed and delivered to City 1-1i.ghway Garage site. Care shall be taken not to damage i t (iuri 11.9 removal. 8) GIGURE, Alan, 128 AIRPORT PARKWAY 1. Unless both properties remain under one ownership a common driveway is not a good arrangement. Both deeds must. rIearJ.y define responsibility for maintenance including snow removal. 2. Drainageway along south side of property should be shown on the plan. 3. Extra turnaround space should be provided to accommodate delivery and emergency vehicles. 9) O'BRIENS TRAINING CENTER, SHELBURNE ROAD 1. A 5 foot, landscaped strip should be included aalOng the southerly line to prevent encroachment upon adjacent: property and protect, existing trees. 2. Angle parking should be considered which improves ingress and garage drive a good turnaround area. 10) J-CARE SUPPLIES, INC., LIME ROCK DRIVE 1. Driveway of street should include five foot flare at. curb. 1 7/22/86 JBL MOTION OF APPROVAL That the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the site plan application of the Merchants Bank, Gordon Woods, agent for construction of a 40,000 square foot bank operations center including a 1600 square foot branch bank on lot #7 of Business Park North as depicted on a plan entitled "New Operations Center for Merchants Bank, Kennedy Drive, South Burlington" prepared by Gordon G. Woods, dated May, 1986, printed 6/30/86 with the following stipulations: 1. A $20,000 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. The trees shown in the triangular area at the corner of Kennedy Drive and Kimball Avenue shall be re- located to a location approved by the City Planner. 2. A sidewalk shall be constructed along Kennedy Drive and Kimball Avenue frontages. A bond shall be posted for this prior to permit in an amount determined by the City Engineer. 3. The 42 compact cars that represent 25% of the total are approved by the Planning Commission. 4. The parking lot shall be shifted towards Kennedy Drive so that it is not within the 15 foot pedestrian trail. The Kennedy Drive 50 foot front yard coverage shall not exceed 30 percent. 5. A 1500 gpd sewer allocation is made as a portion of the original 3020 gpd allocation for the 10'lot sub- division; 640 gpd remain for the undeveloped parcels. 6. The deceleration and acceleration lanes shall be constructed with the granite curbing that is removed from Kennedy Drive as well as any additional curbing to curb the driveway to the parking area. The island shall also be curbed. 7. The traffic island shall be redesigned to meet State Agency of Transportation standards. It shall be constructed so right turn in and right turn out are the only possible movements, similar to the entrance at the Factory Outlet and Sears on Shelburne Road. 8. A storm water runoff control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to permit. 9. An easement shall be given to the City to reconstruct or add to the drainage pipe under Kennedy Drive. The City agrees to restore the disturbed area to its original condition. 10. Revised plans reflecting these changes shall be sub- mitted to the City Planner prior to permit. 11. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. 4. Plan should show who owns what and limits of site being reviewed. Site development seems to include part of the G.E. Supply site. 7) MERCHANTS BANK, KIMBALL AVENUE 1. In construction of the deceleration lane and acceleration lane the removed road granite curb shall be used with additional as required to curb this drive to the parking area instead of shoulders as shown. The island shall also be lined with curb. 2. Vermont State Highway has standards for traffic islands. This standard shall be followed. 3. Site should have sidewalks on both streets. 4. The corner of Kimball Avenue and Kennedy Drive has a triangle reserved to maintain day lighting. Large trees should not be planted in this area. 5. Site should include storm water runoff control. 6. City requests rights of access across this property to maintain reconstruction or add to the drainage pipe under Kennedy Drive under the condition the City restore any disturbed area to its original condition. 7. The parking at the north-east corner infringes on the 15, pedestrian easement. 2 PLANNING COMMISSION 22 JULY 1986 Page 6 7-Site Plan Application of the Merchants Bank for construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. banko era ions center including a E-ranch ban7 on lot #V of Business Park Northat the corner of Kimball ve- nue and Kennedy Drive Gordon Woods explained the project. The building will be 3 stories except on the side where the land is lower which will be 4 stories. It will house a small branch bank (40' x 401) with a drive -up window, and the operations section of the bank. Mr. Woods considered that the front of the building faced the east; however, they have been given a Kennedy Drive address, so the Commissionw�`kennedy Drive to be the front. Mr. Jacob noted the inclusion of the helicopter space. Mr. Woods said this was within the allowable parking spaces. Members discussed the building height restrictions. Both Mr. Burgess and Mr. Poger recalled that it was the intent of the Ordinance that 35 ft. be the maximum with the Commission having the right to waive up to 45'. Mr. Jacob said the Commission then cannot consider the planned 48 feet on the 4-story side of the building. Mrs. Lafleur confirmed they have met the waiver set- back requirement for the extra building height in front and on the sides. They will shift the parking lot to keep the pedestrian trail at 15 feet in width. The Commission could also require the internal connection which was part of the original subdivision; Mr. Spitz felt this was not a good idea as it would bring traffic out through lot #8 onto Williston Rd. at a bad point. Mrs. Lafleur will check on this. Regarding traffic, Mr. Spitz said they have estimated trips from both the public and non-public uses of the bank. For the PM peak hour, they estimate 59 trips in and 106 trips out, for a total of 165. This, he said, was well within what was considered conceptually. The 2 affected intersections are Kennedy Dr. and Kimball P,ve. and Kennedy Dr. and Williston Rd. At Kimball, their study shows the left turn at level "E", but does not indicate the need for a signal. At Williston Rd., differences with Craig Leiner's report must be reconciled. Mr. Spitz said that now there is effectively a left turn lane coming from Williston. It would not take a lot more traffic to make that a problem, and something should be done to that intersection, such as re - timing of signals. It was agreed that Craig Leiner would come to the next meeting to explain his analysis. The question of the helicopter was again raised. The bank does not now own one and would plan to use it in off -hours. Mr. Dooley felt the proximity to the airport could be a problem and others felt the proximity made the strip unnecessary. Mrs. Hurd noted that it blocked 22 parking spaces. Mr. Krassner objected strongly to the noise, especially since it would be in none business hours. 1. PLANNING COMMISSION 22 JULY 1986 Page 7 Members discussed the need for a sidewalk on Kennedy Drive, and Mrs. Lafleur agreed to discuss this further with the City Manager. Mr. Krassner questioned what services would be offered by the bank. The response indicated it would be a full -service bank. They anticipate half the traffic of White Street and are not sure about safe deposit boxes at the location. The primary use would be for data processing and bank operations. They will transfer 100 employees from downtown to this location. There is the possibility that the top floor will be leased which may bring the number of people in the building up to as many as 200. Mrs. Lafleur said this reinforces Craig Leiner's statement that traffic should be calculated on the number of square feet, not the number of bank employees. Mr. Dooley then moved to table discussion until the next meeting. Mrs. Maher seconded, and the motion passed unanimous Craig einer will attend is meeting. Other Business Mrs. Lafleur reported that the City Council wants the Commission to review the official city map and also to change the Master Plan accordingly. The next meeting will be on August 5th. As there was no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting adjourned at 11:00 pm.

BRUCE HOUGHTON, TRAFFIC ENGINEER, PAULSEN ASSOCIATES, MAKES THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS: (A) BASED ON PERMITTED USES FOR BUSINESS PLANNED -4- DEVELOPMENT AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES DESCRIBED IN THE SOUTH BURLINGTON BONING REGULATIONS AND POTENTIAL USABLE LAND PER LOT RELATIVE TO EXISTING TOPOGRAPHY OF THE AREA, I ESTIMATED THE P.M. PEAK ROADWAY HOUR ENTERING AND EXITING TRIPS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT, THESE ESTIMATES ARE REPRESENTED IN TABLE I. IN ADDITION, I TOTALED THE ENTERING AND EXITING TRIPS BY ACCESS POINT PLANNED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. THESE NUMBERS ARE REPRESENTED IN TABLE II. (B) I HAVE ANALYZED EACH ACCESS POINT AS IT RELATES TO OTHER PLANNED ACCESS POINTS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATED THE PLANNED ACCESS POINTS AS THEY RELATE TO THE OLD FARM ROAD -INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD INTERSECTION, THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD-KENNEDY DRIVE INTERSECTION, AND THE KENNEDY DRIVE- I';ILLISTON ROAD -AIRPORT DRIVE INTERSECTION. TABLE III REPRESENTS APPROXIMATE DISTANCES BETWEEN VARIOUS POINTS OF REFERENCE. THE PLANNED ACCESS POINTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT ON INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD ARE REASONABLY SPACED (EQUIVALENT TO ONE CITY BLOCK) TO ACCOMMODATE VEHICLE MOVEMENTS INTO THE PARK, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ACESS POINT 'C' AND OLD FARM ROAD IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW REASONABLE MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS. IN ADDITION, THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ACCESS POINT 'C' AND KENNEDY DRIVE IS SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW FOR REASONABLE MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES. ALTHOUGH THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ACESS-POINT 'D' AND INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD IS SUFFICIENT (250') TO ALLOW BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT TURN VEHICLE MOVEMENTS EXITING LOT No. %, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT RIGHT TURN ENTRANCE AND RIGHT TURN EXIT BE THE ONLY ALLOWABLE VEHICLE MOVEMENTS AT ACCESS POINT 'D,' -5- ACCESS POINT 'E' IS LOCATED 450' FROM THE KENNEDY DRIVE-WILLISTON ROAD -AIRPORT DRIVE INTERSECTION, AND ITS LOCATION IS ACCEPTABLE. WITH THE PROJECTED LOW ENTERING AND EXITING VOLUMES FOR LOT N0. 8 DURING THE P.M. PEAK ROADWAY HOUR, MINIMAL VEHICLE RESTRICTIONS WOULD BE EXPECTED AT THIS ACCESS POINT. ACCESS POINT 'F' IS REASONABLY LOCATED WITH RESPECT TO LOT N0, 9 AND LOT NO. 10. ANY OTHER LOCATION OF THIS ACCESS WOULD SEVERELY LIMIT THE USEFULNESS OF LOT NO. 10. (C) THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD-KENNEDY DRIVE INTERSECTION SHOULD BE SIGNALIZED WITH A SEMI -ACTUATED TRAFFIC SIGNAL DEVICE WITH SIGNAL ACTUATION ON THE INDUSTRIAL PARK ROAD APPROACH. SIGNALIZATION WILL ALLOW THIS INTERSECTION TO OPERATE AT LEVEL OF SERVICE A. (LEVEL OF CAPACITY APPROXIMATELY 6510") . (D) EXISTING FIXED TIME TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION AT THE WILLISTON ROAD-KENNEDY DRIVE -AIRPORT DRIVE INTERSECTION SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH FULL ACTUATION TRAFFIC SIGNALS. VEHICLE SENSING DEVICES SHOULD BE PLACED ON EACH INTERSECTION APPROACH TO PROVIDE TOTAL VEHICLE RESPONSIVENESS IN ALLOCATING AVAILABLE GREEN TIME PER APPROACH.

Mr. Levesque seconded the motion and all voted aye. Continue public hearing on final plat application for resubdivision of Business Park :worth Mr. Page said the plan shown tonight was exactly the same one shown at preliminary plat. What used to be the west end of lot 4 and the east end of lot 5 is now an additional new lot, so there are 11 rather than 10. The number of access points on Kimball Avenue does not change with this plan and there will be a service road parallel that road. One access point will serve lots 11,5,6, and 7. Mx. `r;oolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the final plat application of Daniel and Leo O'Brien for a resubdivision of the _ Business Park North plat to add 1 lot, as depicted on a plan entitled, "rival Plan, Business Park North..." revised 9 79 by SJM, subject to the following stipulations: 1. Water supply and sewage disposal shall be off -site, via the municipal systems. 2. All applicable stipulations of the previous approval for Business Park North remain in full effect, such as the deferral o grading an ra�nage plans to site plan review. 3. The final plat shall show the mutually agreed upon location of the pedestrian easement along Potash Brook and shall be recorded within 90 days. MIr. Ewing seconded the motion. Mr. Nona arrived just before reading of the motion. fir. Leo O'Brien felt that stipulation #3 would give the developers and the City enough' time to work out the location of that easement. The motion carried, with Mr. ?bona abstaining because he did not participate in the discussion. Continue site plan review of Farrell Real Estate proposal for former Lake Chuz:nlain Motors property at corner of Allen Road and Shelburne road i-.r. :age stated that this apYi_Jcation h.ad been withdrawn. 3. PLANNING Ci,KMISSIOh Ir Discussion of Planning Commission public hearing procedures APR IL 4. 1976 Mr. Page gave the Commission a procedure that had been worked up in 1976. The Commission decided that the Chairman and/or the Planner would make introductory remarks and they said that witnesses and applicant would be sworn in en masse if this was requested. ''.r. Poger remarked that he did not like having witnesses sworn in because that implies that they can lie to the Commission any other time and he felt that whenever anyone spoke to the Commission they should tell the truth and that their remarks should be as binding as if they were sworn in. This only happens in the most formal hearings, though, he said. :�Ir. Ewing moved that the Planning Commission improve the memo as corrected dated June 18, 1976 from William Wessel and also that they direct N,r. :age to post the corrected memo in the Conference room at City Hall or at any other meeting place. i?r. Poger seconded the motion, and it passed unanimously. Mr. Page also said that he would have ready for the Commission, anyone in the audience, and the applicant, a checklist of' issues to be discussed for each of the Commission's activities. Not every item would have to be discussed, he said, but the members would have them all before them. Xr. Page told the Commission that there was an overlap in the review of PUD's and Subdivisions and he would like comments on that at the neat _soft meeting. PIr. Poger asked how Mr. Page's limited working hours were working out and was told that it was going well. N.r. Mona said that he appreciated all Irr. Page's hard work on this and other things and Mr. Poger seconded that. DeliDeration on preliminary plat, Business Park North Mr. Page said that he felt the number and location of curb cuts on the industrial road was reasonable given the proposed uses and the roadway length. The pavement width is 32', which would allow for a stacking lane in the middle of the road if needed. he said that he would like to see how the National Guard drive lined up with access to lots 9 and 10 but that could be done at final plat. He said that an approval would mean conceptual approval of the curb cuts, which could be moved a little later on in the review process. Mr. Ewing asked if they wanted a service road and I-.r. Poger said that he was not sure this was the right time to discuss it but lie felt they could not design a road for its maximum capacity. He said that lot 7 would probably have a bank on it and he noted that there was another proposal for a bank on the ot:ie side of the street. he was hesitent to allow two high traffic generators so close to this corner, he said. He said that he would vote against having 2 banks on the corner and said that he was uncomfortable with that use in that place. Mr. Mona asked how many people Digital could employ before the inter- section would have to be signallized and ?.r. Ewing replied that the Commission needed an engineer to tell them that. Kr. Poger said it would not be long before they needed a signal but he said it might take a long time to get one. Xr. Kona said he did not know if access across the street from the three accesses on the side under discussion would be good or bad and fir. Poger assumed that they were good. 'Kr. Levesque pointed out that there was a lot of right of way here which could be used to i.ake adjustments in the roadway. !Ir. Page said the Council wanted to limit the use of Shunpike Road by Digital employees but he was not sure how they would do that. 1'.r. Poger said it could be olocked at iiiilliston Road or at the other end but it seemed to him that 4. PUINNING COMMISSION APRIL 4, 1978 j ` the Commission should not count on the road as a means of relieving traffic from Digital since putting that kind of traffic through a residential neighborhood was contrary to the A3aster Plan. As. Page suggested an approval predicated on a certain level of service at the Kennedy Drive intersection. I~;r. I -Iona said that he would like to look at traffic in the surrounding area sometime in the fall and 1•:r. Page said the Commission was waiting to hear on funding for such a study. Mr. Levesque said these lots had much less traffic than Digital and it was at a different time. Air. Mona said he liked the idea of phasing development of the land to a service level of the traffic. Mr. Morency asked if traffic on Kennedy Drive would have room to accomodate people turning right into lot 7 and Air. Poger suggested that a dViceleration lane might be needed. The Commission discussed this point. Mr. Page said a car could swing past another one turning right at that point. Kr. ~king said that the curb cuts were being approved conceptually now and could be moved at site plan review. I.T. Poger did not want to take any action on this plat tonight, feeling that Mr. Wessel had wanted to deliberate two weeks from the last meeting, but that he had wanted to deliberate at this meeting and take action at the next hard meeting night, when there would also be more people attending. The other Commissioners wanted to vote tonight, however. The Commission discussed curb cuts and possible land uses on the lots. Zr. Morency said he did not want to be pinned down to the accesses as shown. Nr. Poger said he would vote for no high traffic generators on the lots because he did not feel the accesses shown were adequate for that intensive use. He felt the developer had limited his options by putting in only as many curb cuts as he had. Mr. Page said that he had spent time with a professional traffic engineer who had put his seal on the location of the curb cuts to minimize impact on the roadway. Mr. Poger added "within the perameter of the anticipated traffic from the lot." Air. Mona moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the preliminary plat application of Daniel O'Brien,_ as depicted -on a plan set of 5 pages sheets 2-6 entitled "Business Park North", drawn by RCK, dated January 1978, subject to the following stipulations_ 1) The conditions numbered 1-18, contained in a_memo of -8 24/7from O'Brien to the South Burlington Planning Commission shall apply,_`and _be shown as appropriate on the final plat, with the following exceptions or clarifications: #1 'easement' to be 'offer of irrevocable dedication' alignment of the National Guard drive shall be shown on the -- ----- --- -- -- — ----- - -- final plat, to decide the proper location of the access to lots 9-& 10 '10 a sidewalk shall be installed #11 cost sharing should also include geometric _or_ot_he_r_-measures_ - t_ o improve the capacity of this intersection._ 2) Final utility review (sewer, water, phone shall be Performed by the City Engineer. 3) The suitability of lot 10 soils for development ramE ins to be shown. 4) Storm drainage, cutting, and fillies review shall be deferred to site plan review on a lot by lot basis. 5) The IIBPD district line shall be shown on the final plat. 5. PLANNING COYYIISSION APRIL 4, 1978 IF 6) The following required improvements are waived: street signs, out- door li,,hting, and landscaping. 7) Because of the uncertainty surrounding future conditions at the Kennedy Drive intersections with the "industrial road" and Williston Road, phased development of this project, predicated on adequate levels of service at this intersection or some alternative suitable to the Planning Commission, is required. _The _desired levels of service, and the degree of development phasing shall be decided at the final plat stage. The motion was seconded by Yr. Ewing and passed with Ns. Morency voting no. He stated that he felt that by putting access D as planned on lot 7, the �} Commission was approving a high traffic generator and paving the way for the Zoning Board to give conditional use permits to high traffic generators. Mr. Foger felt that the wording of stipulation 3 was too weak and that if the soils were not suitable for development, there should not be any development. Mr. Levesque said that the City Council had asked the Commission what plans the Commission had for improving traffic during the period of interim zoning. Xr. :•Iona said that since they did not have a traffic engineer, they did not have any plans and he felt it was an unreasonable request. The interim zoning hearing is April 10. Ns. Ewing said the Council was proposing it so they should have the answer. He felt they should consider breaking the BR zone into more zones on Williston and Shelburne Roads. The Commission added that they should consider the zoning amendment laid out in principle in Mr. Morency's High Traffic Generators report and that they should hire an engineer or a consultant to help the Commission. The meeting was declared adjourned at 11:00 pm.
