I would like to place a dumpster trailer, which would be a registered motor vehicle, in front of my unit for the disposal of waste material from my flooring business. As shown on the attached Site Plan [labeled Site Plan "Existing Conditions Shown", dated 8/18/oo, stamped and sealed by Davis Caplin, architect, VT License #14551, the trailer would sit in a vacant area directly in front of my unit, an area which is not a designated parking space on the Site Plan. This appears to be the ideal location. It will not take away any designated parking spaces; is located directly in front of my business; and, because I, or one of my employees, will pick up the trailer for dumping typically before 6 a.m., should not interfere with the use of other designated parking spaces.

This project was originally approved on 8/12/86 and amended on 10/14/86 (minutes enclosed). ` This property located at 102 Kimball Avenue lies within the I-C District. It is bounded on the east by Adelphia Cable, on the north by several businesses along Williston Road, on the west by the INS building and on the south by Kimball Avenue. Access/circulation: Access is provided via one (1) 30 foot wide curb cut on Kimball Avenue. No access change proposed. Circulation is adequate. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 16.3% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall coverage is 35.9% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front yard coverage is 11% (maximum allowed is 30%). Setback requirements are met. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement, based on \ building costs, is $3,000 which is not being met. No additional landscaping is proposed. A $20,000 credit was given on 8/12/86 for existing trees. This site is well screened from Kimball Avenue and R. Memorandum - Planning May 10, 1994 agenda items May 6, 1994 Page 7 abutting properties. No additional landscaping recommended. Traffic: This office expansion is part of an existing warehouse use. Since warehouse space will be converted to office space, no additional P.M. peak hour traffic is expected. Parking: The plan approved in 1986 required 97 spaces and the proposed office expansion requires an additional 39 spaces for a total requirement of 136 spaces. The revised plan shows 144 spaces. Staff recommends that the first three (3) spaces at the rear of the westerly building be removed in order to maintain a 24 foot aisle. This will reduce overall parking to 141 spaces which is five (5) spaces more than required. Lighting: No additional lighting proposed. Existing lighting consists of pole mounted downcasting cutoff luminaries and building mounted wall -pack fixtures. Other: A revised plan should be submitted which does not have the dark lines inside building #2. 7 M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J.

As I mentioned to you over the telephone, there is required information missing on both the application form and site plan. In addition, I found the site plan to be quite inaccurate as to existing conditions on the site. I will not be able to review and process your application until complete and accurate information is submitted. I have enclosed a blank application form. Please note Exhibit A which lists all of the information that needs to be shown on a site plan. Under number 6(a) on the application form, you must describe all uses on the property, not just your particular use. The last approval for this property was for a two (2) building warehouse/office complex totaling 84,300 square feet. That should be listed under 6(a). Under 6(b), Proposed Uses, you should just write "no change" assuming nothing has changed on the property. Ifthere has been a change in use and size, then that needs to be identified under 6(b). Any other proposed changes to the site plan, such as the installation of generators and other equipment or dumpsters, should be listed under 6(g), Other. Please note that under Section 27.10 of the City's zoning regulations, no "land development" may commence without first obtaining a zoning permit. A zoning permit can only be issued after siie plan approval has been granted. Also note that under Section 27.20, the converted space and site changes may not be occupied until a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance (CO) has been issued. This CO permit will not be issued until it has been verified that the property is in complete compliance with the approved site plan.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS (Please refer to the appropriate section on Attachment 1 for the additional considerations listed below.) DETERMINATION TABLE (CONTINUED) PORTIONS REMAIN !N THE SFHA ZONEA This document provides the Federal Emergency Management Agency's determination regarding a request for a Letter of Map Amendment for the property described above. Using the information submitted and the effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) map, we have determined that the structure(s) on the property(ies) is/are not located in the SFHA, an area inundated by the flood having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (base flood). This document amends the effective NFIP map to remove the subject property from the SFHA located on the effective NFIP map; therefore, the Federal mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement to protect its financial risk on the loan. A Preferred Risk Policy (PRP) is available for buildings located outside the SFHA. Information about the PRP and how one can apply is enclosed. This determination is based on the flood data presently available. The enclosed documents provide additional information regarding this determination.

Mr. Racine, representing his campaign organization, described the use of two rooms in the front of the Queen City Motel for six months. He said that because most of the traffic and parking will be on evenings and weekends, it should not have much impact. Mr. Austin moved the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Racine for Lt. Governor to convert approximately 5Q0 square feet of storage space to office use for a six (6) month period of time beginning May 15, 1994 and ending November 15, 1994, 428-434 Shelburne Road, as depicted on a plan entitled "Queen City Inn Property, Proposed WHN Offices", prepared by Wagner, Heidel and Noyes, Inc. and dated 11/16/93, with the following stipulations: 1.

Mr. Stewart, representing Stewart Construction, stated that Resolution currently occupies 31,000 square feet. Some space was previously converted to office space without permit. With the new space included the total is 9,724 square feet. Mrs. Peacock stepped down due to a conflict of interest. Mr. Stewart stated there is sufficient parking, particularly since Resolution is using added space off hours. As recommended by staff, Mr. Stewart will remove three spaces to maintain the 24 foot aisle. PLANNING COMMISSION 10 MAY 1994 page 9 There is no additional landscaping because there is a credit on the original. The inked out area on the plan will be removed from the revised plan. Mr. Weith recommended that Stewart replace the broken fire hydrant. Mr. Stewart stated that he is not sure who is responsible. Mr. Sheahan suggested that replacing the fire hydrant be a condition of getting a Certificate of Occupancy.

The plan shall be revised prior to recording and permit to show space number 17 (near the one-way exit) removed. This area shall be seeded. 3) The applicant shall contribute prior to permit $180 to the Shelburne Road Intersection Improvement Fund based on the 7 additional peak hour trip ends to be generated by this project. 4) The applicant shall submit pr-i.or to permit a letter from the City of Burlington approving sewer treatment of. the additional discharge created by the nine new rooms. 5) Any new lighting on the addition shall be downcast, shielded luminaire. 6 ) Prior to permit, the-,/ir-l:icant shall submit a letter Li-vin the City of Burlington approving proposed work on Route 7 (i.e., driveway work). 7) The applicant shall i,e responsible for installing curbing along the Hadley Road curb cut to be removed. 8) The Revised Final Plat shall be recorded within 90 days or this approval is null and void. y, r � �-/-57 M-1 r °1 ° 4) GIGURE, 120 AIRPORT PARKWAY (FRANCO PROPERTY) Alan Gigure proposes to subdivide the 1.721 acre Franco property into 4 lots with a private road. Lot #1 has a single family house. Access is shown from a 60 foot easement from Airport Parkway. The pavement width is 24 feet. Road: This plan shows the 60 foot easement as part of each lot. It is calculated as part of each lot's acreage and will be owned by each property owner. The City Attorney saw no legal problem with this arrangement since each lot owner owns a share and each deed would grant access to the other lots. It is a highly unusual situation though. The second alternative is to develop a homeowners association for 4 lots and have a private maintenance agreement between the four. Of course, a third alternative is to require a 60 foot easement, a public street and require that the right-of-way is not included in the acreage. Lot sizes: Lots #2 and 3 are adequate for duplexes. They probab- ly would not be adequate if the 60 foot easement was deducted. A fifty foot easement might leave adequate acreage for duplexes (12,000 square feet). As I have noted before, there is a conflict in the ordinance on minimum lot sizes that becomes evident here. The entire property measures 1.721 acres. At four units per acre, a maximum of 7 units could be constructed. Lot #4 measures 31,088 square feet. At 6000 square feet per unit, a 5 unit building might be per- mitted just, on lot size alone, neglecting the fact that the entire subdivision permits only 7 units. We could stipulate that lot #4 have a maximum of 2 units, but over time this might be forgotten. Even if the right-of-way is removed from the acreage, a triplex would be allowed that still exceeds the maximum number for the subdivision. I would suggest that the road be removed from the lot acreage, that it be a city street and built. to City standards. Drainage, sewer and water plans are needed. See Bill Szymanski's and Jim Goddette's comments. 5) ,PALMER," RDR LOT #1, KIMBALL AVENUE Note: We initially believed that this subdivision was invalid since it was not found in the City Clerk's office. However, it has been found so that the Final Plat for the subdivision is not on the agenda as originally warned. The applicant proposes to construct two buildings for industrial warehousing use measuring 85,750 square feet. The Zoning Board has granted multiple use approval as well as approval to cross the brook. The Natural Resources Committee also reviewed this application. The area is zone Industrial -Commercial. The lot is 1%"� tX , a 4 11.9 acres. It is northwest of the brook and guard rail on Kimball Avenue. Access and Circulation: Access is from a new 24 foot, wide drive- way through the area where the guard rail is. Circulation is adequate with pavement on at least two sides of each building. Parking: The plan shows 105 spaces. This meets the requirement, since 12,000 square feet of office requires 48 spaces and the storage and warehouse area requires 57 spaces. Landscaping: A $22,500 landscaping plan is required. Much of the lot is heavily wooded. Mr Palmer proposes to spend $2560 for new landscaping and requests $20,000 in credit for 50 trees of 24 inch caliper. The brook will not be disturbed. Other: This area contains an historic Indian site over 2,000 ,years old. The Division for Historic Preservation and UVM has assisted in the archaeological dig. Numerous artifacts have been found and are on display at UVM. The site is now approved for construction except in one area that must be set off and not disturbed. This is shown on the plan.

The property is zoned Commercial-2. Access: Access is shown from an existing driveway to the front parking lot, as well as from a new curb cut to the new rear parking and service area. Circulation and Parking: A new 18 foot wide driveway is shown parallel to the street. Seven new parking spaces back into this driveway. The plans show a new parking and service area at the east end of the building. A total of twenty-two spaces are shown. Landscaping The eastern end of the property (toward Pizzagalli) is heavily wooded. The plan requires'$9050 in new landscaping and meets this requirement. Lot coverage: The building covers 12.6% of the lot.. The total coverage is 25.7%. Other: Since a substantial amount of regrading is required:to build into the bank, topsoil, seeding and hay bales are essen- tial.

PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 The South Burlington Planning Commission held a meeting on Tuesday, 12 August 1986, at 7:30 pm, in the Conference Room, City Hall, 575 Dorset Street. Members Present Peter Jacob, Chairman; Judith Hurd, William Burgess, John Dooley, Catherine Peacock, Mary -Barbara Maher Also Present Jane Lafleur, City Planner; Sid Poger, The Other Paper; Mike Donoghue, Burlington Free Press; William Schuele, Stephen Crowley, Shelley Snyder, Sylvia Smith, Natural Resources Committee; David Spitz, Jacqueline Marceau, J. Edward Marceau, William Wessel, John Crotty, Rodney Cydell, Thomas Havers, Arthur Rye, Leslie Rye, Gordon Woods, Richard Painter, Arthur Ryan, Gerry Milot, Lance Llewellyn, Mery Brown, Robert Perry, Alan Palmer 1. Continue site plan application of Alan Palmer for construction of 89,800 sq. ft. of industrial space in 2 buildings on lot #1, RDR Enterprises, Kimball Avenue Mrs. Lafleur explained there is a reduction in footprint but an increase in building size since there will now be 2 floors. The footprint covers 34% of the plateau; the total coverage of the plateau is 75%. The allowable is 30% for building and 70% total. Mr. Jacob and Mrs. Maher felt this was a lot of coverage for this piece of land. The erosion control study by Wagner, Heindel & Noyes was considered. They feel that filling in the drainage swales would not be have a major impact but there must be provision for drainage of the cornfield. This is being done. Re- garding buildup of the embankment for an entrance, Mr. Palmer said he has tried unsuccessfully to talk with the O'Briens about an alternative. Sylvia Smith said the Natural Re- sources committee wrote to the O'Briens and said it would be in the interest of saving Potash Brook if an agreement could be worked out. They have received no reply. Mr. Jacob en- couraged Ms. Smith to call the O'Briens. Mrs. Lafleur said the Commission must act tonight. Wagner, Heindel & Noyes have also recommended retention of storm water to mitigate the peak discharge problem. Mrs. Lafleur noted that the pedestrian trail link has to be put on the plans. Mrs. Hurd felt there was excessive parking provided for. Mr. Jacob suggested grassing an area at the end of the building until needed for parking. Mr. Palmer agreed to this. PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 2 Mr. Dooley said he is still concerned with the access. Mr. Jacob said this was granted by the Zoning Board and there is nothing the Commission can do about it. Mr. Dooley said this does not mean the Commission has to grant an access there. Mrs. Lafleur said some access must be granted, and it is even steeper further east. Mr. Dooley said he is concerned that if the commission passes this, there will never be a chance for another access to be negotiated. Mr. Palmer said he would continue to try to talk with the O'Briens. Mrs. Maher felt she would like to see a bridge, since what is being planned is destructive to the environment. She also felt the 75% coverage is too much. Mr. Palmer noted that the curb cut on the O'Brien land is not approved and felt if the Commission could approve that, it might make negotiations easier. Mrs. Lafleur confirmed this access was never closed when Kimball Avenue was constructed. It was not in the original sub -division. Mr. Dooley then moved that the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Alan D. Palmer for construction of two industrial buildings of 89,800 sq. ft. total on lot #3 of the RDR Enterprises three lot subdivision on Kimball Avenue as depicted on a plan entitled "Site Plan for Lot #1, RDR Enterprises, Inc., prepared �2y Palmer Company, Ltd., dated May 1986 with the following stipulations: 1. An erosion control plan shall be approved by the City Engineer prior to permit. It shall include methods for con- trolling runoff during & after construction as outlined in the 7/18/86 letter 12y Jeffrey Nelson of Wagner, Heindel & Noyes. These include stormwater detention, hay bales, silt fencing, riprap, and an inspection schedule. 2. A $2600 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. Credit is granted for existing trees valued at $20,000. No trees shall be removed or thinned within the conservation zone. This note shall be deleted from the plans. 3. The original subdivision included 1400.gpd sewer allocation for the 3 lots. This site requires 600 gpd of this allocation. 4. A contribution shall be made toward the Williston Rd. traffic improvements in accordance with a formula adopted the Planning Commission, based on the 146 peak hour trip ends generated 12y this development. 5. The pedestrian trail link planned for this area shall be shown on the plans. Legal documents for the dedication of the trail shall be submitted to the City Attorney for PLANNING COMMISSION 12 AUGUST 1986 PAGE 3 approval prior to permit. 6. 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 site plan of Merchants Bank for construction of a 40,000 sq. ft. operations center including a 1600 sq. ft. branch bank on lot 47, Business Park North, Kimball Avenue and Kennedy Drive 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 8 JULY 1986 PAGE 5 7. The Final Plat must be submitted within 12 months or this approval is null and void. Mr. Burgess seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. 5. Site Plan application of Alan Palmer for construction of 2 buildings of 85,750 sq. ft. for industrial warehousing on Lot #1 of the RDR subdivision on Kimball Avenue Mrs. Lafleur showed a slide of the area and noted specifically that the applicant must cross the CO Zone in order to gain access to the land. The Natural Resources Com- mittee is concerned with future erosion problems. This is a sensitive area, and a better entrance is suggested. There is concern for stream pollution and the area is also a haven for animals and a cross-country ski area for residents. The Zoning Board has approved the access subject to the City Man- ager's four criteria. Mr. Palmer explained they want to use a section of flat land on the plateau for the buildings. One will be 31,000 sq. ft. and the other 54,000 sq. ft. They will not go within 100 ft. of the brook. He noted that there were concerns that this is an historic site. Work was done on the site, and the areas in question will be preserved. Mrs. Maher asked how much wooded area will come down. Mrs. Lafleur noted that there is 95 % coverage of the buildable area, which is how the Com- mission has always handled such cases. Mr. Wells of the Natural Resources Committee noted that when they inspected the site it was cold and frozen, and they would like another chance to review it in better weather. They felt this could be done within 2 weeks. Mr. Krassner said that filling around the stream doesn't protect the wetlands, and filling that much wetland to gain access to a property is very un- fortunate. The natural entry to the land would be much better. He felt that putting streams into culverts is always a bad policy. Mr. Jacob asked if Mr. Palmer had talked with Mr. O'Brien about the other possible access. Mr. Palmer said he had but that Mr. O'Brien wants to buy the land himself. Mrs. Lafleur noted there is no curb cut on the O'Brien land and the recommended one is not one of the official curb cuts. Mrs. Maher felt the Commission should see the land as she was appalled by the amount of fill that would have to be brought in. Mrs. Lafleur noted the brook would also have to be rip - rapped, and Mr. Schuele said this is a very dangerous process. Mr. O'Brien noted that the property line between the O'Brien and Palmer land is not the cornfield and suggested that when the property is visited the Commission check the proper PLANNING COMMISSION 8 JULY 1986 PAGE 6 boundaries. He said he is also concerned with a drive that flares onto O'Brien property even though it is in the city right-of-way. Members agreed to meet at 2:15 Sunday and also to get an opinion from Wagner, Heindel & Noyes. Mrs. Lafleur will get a legal opinion regarding the fill issue. Mrs. Maher said she would like to know if the Zoning Board gave approval be- cause they felt the Natural Resources Committee approved of the fill. Consideration of the application was postponed until all information is available. Mr. Schuele expressed concern that recommendations of the Natural Resources Committee were frequently ignored and asked how they can be most effective. He felt the Commission has to be concerned that when they approve a development there is that much more water than doesn't get into the ground. He cited this year's problems on Williston Rd. as an example. Mr. Dooley suggested that when an agenda is posted Mrs. Lafleur flag those items which would be of interest to the Natural Resources Committee. 6. Site Plan application of Business Systems for construction of a 4960 sq. ft. addition to existing building at 180 Farrell Street Brad Rabinowitz located the property at the corner of Joy and Farrell. The proposal is for an 80-foot addition to the present building. They will move the curb cut and will have a regular loading dock. Entrance will be at the joint of the addition. The building will be used for warehousing and a showroom with some small offices. There will be 22 parking spaces provided. They have provided fire access to meet the Fire Chief's concern. They will take out about 100 feet of wooded area. Mr. Dooley moved that the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Business Systems of Vermont, Brad Rabinowitz, agent, for construction of a 4960 sq. ft. addition to the existing 6000 sq. ft building at 80 Farrell St. as depicted on a plan entitled "Business Systems of Ver- mont -Site Plan, 80 Farrell Street, South Burlington, Vermont" prepared by Brad Rabinowitz, architect, dated 6/28/96 with the following stipulations: 1. A drop inlet shall be installed in the parking lot oppo- site the one on Joy Drive and piped into it to intercept a large portion of the site runoff.

Certain areas on the site, which were indicated to ,you, were completely cleared. In other areas, trees that were cut were disposed of within the Conservation District. The cutting of trees in the Conservation District is absolutely prohibited by the South Burlington 'Zoning Ordinance Section 3.305. The disposal of cut trees and brush and fill into the Conservation District is also prohibited by Section 3.304.

Box 1629 Burlington, Vermont 05402-1629 802-658-0820 July 18, 1986 Jane Bechter Lefleur City Planner Municipal Building Dorset St. South Burlington, VT 05401 RE: Palmer Development, Kimball Ave. Dear Jane: This is to summarize the results of my field and examination of site plans, soils and topographic maps for the above referenced project. I would offer the following comments and conclusions at this time. 1. The filling of the two drainage swales which transect the site would not appear to have a major impact on the hydrology of the area. The reason for this finding is that it appears as though these swales now drain only a very small watershed area which consists of a portion of the Obrien's cornfield. In the past, prior to the construction of Kimball Ave., it appears as though these swales drained a much larger watershed area. Therefore the depth to which the swales are incised reflects and greater flows which existed prior to the road construction. By filling them in at this time, there would not appear to be any major impact provided that drainage is provided for the small portion of the cornfield which currently flows into these swales. 2. Buildup of embankment for entrance road near Potash Brook culvert. This entrance to the site is obviously less than ideal. Several risks to the water quality in the stream exist during construction, and a lesser potential for long term consequences also exist. With Jane Bechter Lefleur 2 July 18, 1986 respect to the construction of the road, it will be necessary for the applicant to prepare an erosion control plan which will show, at a minimum, the following: A. Hay bales and silt fence securely staked in place surrounding the entire disturbed area in the entrance way. B. Proposed timetable of construction which minimizes the risk of bare earth eroding during storm events. C. Proposed inspection schedule during construction. D. Provisions for silt fencing and hay bales in Potash Brook if silty water is observed flowing into the brook. With this type of program we believe it will be possible to minimize any potential water quality impact to the brook during construction of the entrance road. With respect to the long term impact of the access road , of embankment on the hydrology of the stream we would -not expect a significant problem. Although the embankment will eliminate a naturally low lying wet area which tends to buffer peak stream flows during storm events, the area affected is quite small and we would not expect any significant alteration in stream flow e r..n ,sthe edge characteristics. The resence of of the embark. .......„ . requ i red to protect 'Me embankment from erosive stream flow...,N,.. s. The placement of such riprap will be important since improperly placed riprap could interfere with natural stream flow and also provide a means by which debris could become lodged in place. 3. Peak discharge rates. The site is underlain primarily by Adams soils which are sandy loams. These soils have high infiltration rates and are classified as hydrologic group A. In the existing, forested condition, the peak discharge during storm events would be expected to be quite low. However under the proposed condition whereby the plateau portion of the site would be virtually impervious due to buildings and parking areas, a large increase in peak discharge would be expected. Further the collection and discharge of all stormwater to a single in location Jane Bechter Lefleur 3 July 18, 1986 Potash Brook would be expected to have detrimental impacts on the brook both with respect to sediment input and erosion of the channel downstream. It is our strong belief that the #pplicant should be required to ' examine the hydrologof provid e stormwater retention to mitigate the impact of the proposed development. Peak discharge should be reduced to predevelopment levels, and a means for stormwater treatment should also be provided. We believe that some of the existing, severe problems which are currently being experienced in the Bartlett Brook watershed as a result of development could be averted in other watersheds if the city took steps at this time to require applicants in these areas to control their stormwater discharge. We would be happy to discuss this further with you or the Planning Commission as you see fit. Sincerely, 1A V 4,r f rey 1, A. Nelson, Geologist Wagner, Heindel, and Noyes, Inc.

Box 2184 South Burlington, VT 05401 July 28, 1986 Dear Mr. O'Brien: We are very concerned about the proposed construction of the entrance road for Alan Palmer's development on RDR Lot #1 on Kimball Avenue. The filling of this steep bank and construction of a heavily used entrance drive are likely to create serious, irreparable damage on the brook and the ecological balance of the area. We ask you to seriously consider granting an easement or selling a portion of your property west of the Palmer lot to Mr. Palmer so that a more suitable entrance road can be constructed. Your property could easily be served by this entrance road as well, especially where a curb cut is still in place on your lot. We, as well as the Planning Commission urge you to discuss the possibilities with Mr. Palmer so that a suitable alternative can be constructed.

The committee is concerned with possible erosion problems at a later time. Upon inspection of the site it was not possible to determine what the topography of the land is or what possible erosion patterns may exist, however we feel it is a sensitive area. The Natural Resources Committee would support the proposal with permission to inspect the site in the Spring and propose changes if anything further needs to be done. In our opinion, better location of the road would be combined with the lot adjacent to the west boundary. The committee would prefer that the location of the street not be within the conservation zone, although we have been informed that this is the only alternative. i ' o t►+ sv4t� h h Q4l RESOVa`� I (802) 658-7956 575 DORSET STREET SOUTH BURLINGTON vF Rr'M0NT. 0 54 02 TO: Richard I -lard, Zoning Administrator FROM: Natural Resources Committee RE: RDR Enterprises, Inc., Lot I, Access Road Fill DATE: Monday, January 13, 1986 The Natural Resources Committee would like to express its concern for the potential for stream pollution from road salts and oil in road runoff which would increase as a result of increased traffic as well as for potential erosion patterns. We would be willing to approach Mr. O'Brien in an effort to facilitate procurement of an alternate route for the site entrance. It is important to preserve this small area because of its importance to the wild life of the area. While inspecting the site several bird species as well as mammal sign was observed indicating that this is a haven used by the local fauna during the winter. The flora indicates that this is a wetland type area it should be protected because of the fragile nature of this type of environment this is why we have the CO zone. This site is also used by cross country skiers. The Natural Resources Committee feels that this is an area that should be preserved in as natural a state as possible. Because of the above the Natural Resources Committee would like to reserve the opportunity to reevaluate the site in the spring.

After you called, I had to get a copy from Alan since, somehow, I'd never gotten one. Alan has been remarkably cooperative from the first time I spoke with him on the phone. At that point, he was trying to get together some preliminary information for planning a possible project on this parcel. I told him we believed the area to be highly archeologically sensitive and had the potential for containing prehistoric site areas. It was during preliminary project planning that Alan retained archeologist. Peter Thomas to do the survey. Alan worked alongside Peter's team during the survey. I would like to spend some time with you later in the Fall and talk about how a local government could incorporate archeological concerns as a matter of course during project reviews. We could either meet here or I'll come over. I'll call you in October.

This parcel is bounded by Kimball Avenue on the south, a line which parallels Potash Brook on the east, a line running north of Potash Brook on the north, and a currently plowed field on the west. Only about 4 acres of level land will actually be affected by planned facilities. The remainder consists primarily of a low, wet floodplain associated with Potash Brook, steep slopes bordering the brook's channel and several gullies (Figure 3). Archaeological Goals The intent of this archaeological survey was to identify the presence or absence of prehitoric or historic sites within the area of planned development. If one or more sites were encountered, further testing would be undertaken to establish site boundaries and to gain a general impression of site age, content and integrity. With this information, particularly the location of site boundaries, facilities could be designed which would avoid identified archaeological sites. Figure 1. Palmer Development Parcel: Project Location 3 This summary report can be submitted to both the State Archaeologist at the Division for Historic Preservation and District Environmental Commission 44 when addressing Criterion 8 during the Act 250 permit process. Environmental Background The project area lies within the Potash Brook drainage system. The main stem of the brook originates about a mile and a half to the south, flows northward until it passes along the eastern edge of the project area, turns west and runs through the northern edge of the project area, then continues west for about four miles before entering Lake Champlain. The topography in the sampling area is nearly level, with little more than a 2-foot change in relief. It is bounded on the southeast, east and north by steep erosional banks which border the Potash Brook fl ood pl ain . The geomorphology of the project area is basically influenced by early Champlain Sea delta and bottom sediment complexes laid down between approximately 11,600 and 12,500 years ago. Here, about 20 feet of delta sands overlie finer sands, silts and clays deposited earlier. Subsequent to deposition, Potash Brook downcut through these sands until it encountered the silt and clay substrate and established its current channel at least 8,000 years ago. Two deep gullies in the southern and northwestern portions of the project area probably formed by slow erosion 4 as groundwater flowed from higher elevations and discharged as springs adjacent to the brook. Soils which formed on the surface of the delta complex are classed as Adams and Windsor loamy sands. These are deep, loose, excessively drained soils that are sandy throughout. Because this area has been farmed in the past, soil profiles generally consist of a plow zone horizon (Ap) of dark grey brown loamy sand in the upper 20-25 an (8-10 in) and a B horizon of strong brown or dark yellow brown loamy fine sand which grades into a yellow brown loamy fine sand between 20 and 40 cm (8 and 15 in). Unweathered, stratified sands may be encountered by 70 cm (28 in) below surface. Modern plowing may have exposed the surface to some wind erosion, but its overall impact appears to have been limited. These environmental characteristics suggest several things about archaeological sites which might be present in the project area. First, the landform itself is old and has been subject to little modification in the past 8,000-10,000 years. Thus, archaeological sites of this age or younger could be present. Second, the developed part of the soil profile, which could contain any archaeological deposits if present, extends to about 40-50 cm (16-20 in) below surface. Any cultural artifacts and features (cooking pits, storage pits, etc.) would occur at these depths as well. Third , modern plowing has affected some of the spatial integrity of any archaeological deposits which exist in the upper 20-25 cm, while the bases of cooking or storage pits may be found below the plow zone. 5 Archaeological Background Given the current data base, it is impossible to make predictive statements about the specific characteristics of archaeological sites that could be found in this project area. Questions involving site density per acre, site size and content are dependent upon many variables: the number of people who actively used this general area, the regularity of usage at different times in the past, the specific resources that were exploited, the size of the social groups, the number and types of activities carried out, etc. Archaeologists in Vermont have simply not explored enough sites to be able to deal with such factors. From a review of the prehistoric site inventory maintained by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, in conjunction with more extended background studies carried out for an archaeological study of the Chittenden County Circumferential Highway in 1984 and 1985, however, a number of general inferences were derived about sites which might be present in the general project area. Much of what can be inferred depends heavily on the accuracy of two underlying assumptions. First, human groups in the past made fairly optimal use of available food and other resources. Second, there is a positive correlation between resource availability and the distribution of prehistoric sites, for unlike modern industrial societies in which foods are transported for many miles for redistribution, much of the activity of Native American groups in the past focused on the direct acquisition of foods. Therefore, if one assumes that human groups made strategic use of available resources, prehistoric sites from which groups rel exploited the surrounding territory should be found in those areas where the resource base was adequate to meet human needs. The greater the density of resources, the higher the probability of encountering archaeological sites as well. Although the rationale is too complex to outline here, studies for the Circumferential Highway led to the division of the greater Burlington area into six major environmental zones (Figure 2). In each zone, topographic relief, geomorphology and plant and animal communities are expected to vary, but, as a complex, these factors are sufficiently similar to differentiate one zone from another. Hence, differences in resource potential can also be anticipated. The development parcel under consideration lies within Zone II. In the past this zone was characterized predominantly by stands of northern hardwoods, pine and hemlock. The topography consists primarily of gently rolling hills, valleys and flat outwash plains. Changes in relief over short distances rarely exceed 30 feet, thus allowing considerable ease of movement. Three major brooks -- Allen, Muddy, and Potash -- drain major portions of Zone II. Although the population of fish was probably low in these brooks, their narrow floodplains did allow for the development of limited wetland habitats, where plants and some animals could be obtained. With deer, and possibly bear, being the primary large game animals taken by prehistoric groups, Zone II undoubtedly provided superior habitat for hunting. Nut trees should have grown particularly well on south and west facing slopes. z ::) E-4 U 0 LLJ b -Y 0 < 0 < :r- (D 0 C.0 'n Ld 0 cr Ld CL cr _j CL lW 0 C4 E Fairly intensive use of this zone by prehistoric communities throughout some 10,000 years of occupation can be expected, but the distribution of sites within this large zone is less clear. Food resources, paticularly large game animals, are likely to have been dispersed and taken on an encounter basis. Except for perhaps a particularly good stand of nut bearing trees, plant foods are likely to have been relatively scattered as well. For these reasons, we would expect prehistoric sites in Zone II to be fairly small (the food base being insufficient to support large groups of people for very long) and somewhat scattered throughout this zone. Based on the current site inventory, 38 prehistoric sites have been recorded in Zone II. Thirteen of these sites lie within the Potash Brook drainage; four lie within the Muddy Brook drainage (excluding those along the upper end of the brook and around Shelburne Pond); 14 are located in fairly close proximity to Allen Brook; the remaining sites are situated in other parts of Zone II. None of these sites have been excavated and what little information exists about site size, approximate age and content is inferred from private artifact collections derived from plowed fields or from very limited subsurface testing carried out by archaeologists from UVM. Of the 38 known sites, two appear to be fairly large, six of these are small ( less than 2,500 square feet) , while the spatial dimensions of the other sites are unknown. One environmental characteristic is typical of nearly all sites. They lie either in close proximity to a brook or are located in topographic positions where springs are likely to exist. In those instances where site age can be E determined, two occupations are known to date from roughly 8000-10, 000 B.C. , one from approximately 6000 B.C. , seven from 2500-3500 B.C. , four from 2000-2500 B.C. , one from 1 800-2000 B.C. , one from roughly 500 B.C. , and eleven from approximately A.D. 500-1450. At least six sites contain evidence of more than one period of occupation. The most frequently identified items at known sites are flakes of quartzite and chert produced during the manufacture of stone tools, and projectile points, commonly referred to as arrowheads or spear points. Flakes and points were found at 29 and 23 sites, respectively. Less frequently recovered artifacts include scrapers from three sites, pottery from seven sites, part of a groundstone tool from one site, fire -cracked rocks (presumably from old hearths) from six sites, and fragments of burned bone from one site. Although human burials have been reported from other locales, none have been recorded in Zone II. Two prehistoric sites are known to lie in close proximity to the project area. VT-CH-130 is located in a plowed field immediately to the west. A number of quartzite flakes and one triangular projectile point were recovered in a roughly 50 x 50 foot area during a surface walkover. The triangular point dates this site to between A. D. 750 and 1600. VT-CH-76 is situated about 1,000 feet upstream. It was destroyed during construction of an access road in the Digital complex south of Kimball Avenue. Little is known about this site, since it wasn't discovered until land clearing had begun. A few quartzite flakes and a triangular projectile point were found in a pile of topsoil. As with VT-CH-130, VT-CH-76 was apparently occupied between A. D. 750 and 1600. The spatial 10 extent of the site is unknown. In sum, the general environmental and archaeological background data suggest the following about the prehistoric archaeological sites in Zone II, and hence such sites in the general vicinity of the project area. Moderate site density can be anticipated immediately adjacent to primary streams, with a somewhat lower site density along primary stream tributaries and adjacent to springs. A low site density should prevail elsewhere. The majority of sites are likely to be small, although several multi —component sites (where several occupations are represented) encompass fairly large areas. Artifact density within the sites may range from very low to moderately high where artifacts from different occupations overlap. Most artifacts and cultural features are likely to be found at shallow depths. Prehistoric occupations dating to the periods from 2000-3500 B.C. and A.D. 500-1450 are likely to be more common, but sites dating as early as 9000 B.C. may exist as well. Sampling Design The environmental and archaeological background data indicate that sites located in this development parcel are most likely to be fairly small, shallow, and situated in close proximity to Potash Brook. Based on these expectations, the entire perimeter of the project area which borders Potash Brook was tested using small shovel test pits spaced at close (8 m) intervals (Figure 3). This interval should insure a 78-100 percent probability of encountering a site if one is present. Test pit size ranged between 40 x 40 cm and 50 x 50 cm; pits were dug to a depth 11 13 r 6 10 t I 8 5 o VTCH-255 10 �k IL vt � r o� � C.L I-j hc a, ev, i� :s ' N JIs I � d 1 N 6 Figure 3. Sampling Locations; VT-CH-255 12 of 40-45 cm below surface. Soils were sifted through one -quarter inch mesh screens to insure artifact identification. General soil profiles were recorded in each test pit. Beginning at a deep erosional gully on the west side of the proposed development area, Transect 1, containing 13 test pits, runs about 25-40 feet (8-13 m) from the edge of the steep drop to the Potash Brook floodplain. Test Pits 1-6 are oriented on a line N 65°E; Test Pits 7-10 on a line N 1150E, and Test Pits 11-13 on a line N 750E. The narrow promontory of land beyond Test Pit 13 to the east was not tested, because no development is planned here. Beginning at Test Pit 10, Transect 2, containing 8 test pits, runs on a bearing of S 70W. This transect was used to test an area away from the margins of Potash Brook. Transect 3 begins 33 m to the northeast of Test Pit 8 in Transect 2 and follows along the break in slope. Test Pits 1-5 are oriented on a line running S 60"W; Test Pits 6-10 are oriented on a line running S 410W. Test Pit 10 lies on the northern edge of a deep erosional gully which trends E-W and is about 28 m wide. Beginning on the south side of this gully, Transect 4 continued with six test pits laid on a bearing of S 3°W. Of the 37 test pits excavated, only Test Pit 3 of Transect 3 contained any evidence of prehistoric occupation. A single quartzite flake, produced during the manufacture of a stone tool, was found in the plow zone. 13 At this point, the archaeological focus shifted from trying to determine if a site was present to determining the horizontal extent of the cultural deposits. At the same time, preliminary information about site content, age and structure would be collected. Using Transect 3 (oriented N 600E) as an E-W baseline, a grid was established around Test Pit 3, the positive pit. Within the grid, Test Pit 3 was relabelled N8E9NE. Twenty-three 50 x 50 cm pits were spaced at 4 m intervals within the grid (Figure 4). Using one -quarter inch mesh screens, test pits were excavated in all directions until sampling results were negative. Test Pits 6 and 7 in Transect 2 provide additional coverage to the northwest. Of the 23 test units, cultural artifacts were found in 10 contiguous pits ( Figure 4) ; negative pits were encountered in all peripheral areas. Based on the distribution of artifacts, this site covers an area measuring approximately 20 x 10 m (65 x 32 ft). The 10 test pits provide slightly more than a one percent sample of this area. Two pits, namely N8E13NE and N20E9NE, contained fairly high quantities of quartzite flakes and pottery, respectively. To obtain a larger sample of artifacts, an additional square meter was excavated around each pit, this time using one -eighth inch mesh screens to insure the recovery of even small items. (The backdirt from the original pits was also rescreened through one -eighth inch mesh so all samples are comparable.) From the excavation of 4.5 square meters, the total artifact inventory consists of: the tip of what is probably a triangular (Levanna) projectile point, 1 chert and 505 quartzite flakes, 1 broken ------------- 14 VT-CH-255 PALMER SITE OT.P e / TRIMt / —AL22 O/ / ❑ ® ❑ —N20 T.RT —ALIs —N./4 _N./O on T RAN. 3 ❑ — ® — Kffl— — — _ ❑ ALO T.R S ❑ ❑ ❑ I E.I E.3 E..4 EJ £.9 £./I £./3 E.I3 £17 ❑ //� STERILE '--- 4 M"---� ® or POSSITIve ® I/B'POSS/Trve _ O.ft *t.

The following decorative patterns on portions of two or three ceramic vessels suggest a date of A.D. 850-1050. One small rim fragment is covered with a design of diagonal incised lines. Five other sherds were pieced together to form a 4 x 2 inch section of neck and rim. The neck of this vessel is slightly ex cury ate and has a thin flat lip with diagonal cord -wrapped stick impressions. The top one-half inch of the rim's interior is also decorated with vertical cord -wrapped stick impressions. The interior is smoothed below the rim. The exterior is decorated with a row of small punctate imperssions just below the lip. Below, the body decoration consists of a series of parallel, horizontal cord -wrapped stick impressions. The only other artifact of note, but which is not temporally diagnostic, is a sinew stone. This is a 6 x 3 inch flat rock with a number of narrow grooves along the edge. It is presumed that these grooves were produced by rubbing sinew back and forth while preparing it for use. 16 With only two percent of the site excavated, it is impossible to draw definite conclusions about site function, but several inferences can be drawn about some types of activities carried out here. It is fairly clear that a small workshop where stone tools were made was encountered in the immediate vicinity of N8E13. Of the 505 quartzite flakes recovered at the site, 437 were recovered in these 50 x 50 an units. The source of the quartzite was probably large cobbles or possibly bedrock that had been partially reduced in size at another site. About five percent of the flakes have small areas of cortex (a weathered outer surface) which suggests that the reduction process was in its early stages (Figure 5). Part of a thick angular core was also recovered. These factors, in conjunction with a percentage ratio of flake sizes of 54: 44: 2 (less than 1 cm:1-3 cm:greater than 3 cm) , lead to an interpretation of early stage reduction. Ratios of flake sizes in other parts of the site, as well as the fairly small numbers of flakes recovered, tend to be much more typical of tool resharpening than tool manufacture. In the five 50 x 50 cm test units excavated around N20E9 using one -eighth mesh screens, for example, only 18 quartzite flakes were found and a percentage ratio of 72:28:0 for flake size was characteristic. In the remaining test units within the site excavated with one -quarter inch mesh screens, numbers of quartzite flakes range between 1 and 6.

Stages of Stone Tool Manufacture r V ff•] Aside from one piece of pottery in N12E9NE and two pieces in N16E5NE, all 343 pieces were recovered in N20E9 and N19E9NE. These ceramic fragments, along with three small pieces of burned bone and several chunks of rock suggest that food preparation activities probably took place in this general vicinity, but an actual cooking hearth was not identified. The tip of the triangular projectile point was also found associated with the pottery. There is no way to actually be sure, but the point tip may have broken off when an animal was shot, then discarded when the animal was butchered on site. rnnnl iivi - Further excavation of VT-CH-255 could provide a more complete interpretation of this site. In turn, such information could provide a much better understanding of how people utilized the Potash Brook watershed during this time period. While the general Middle -Late Woodland period age (circa A.D. 750-1600) of this site is not unique for sites along Potash Brook, the ability to date the site to between roughly A.D. 850 and 1050, or to the late Middle Woodland period, would allow site data to be used when considering problems involving short-term change in cultural systems. Based on the tight spatial clustering of artifacts and apparent homogeniety of artifacts, VT-CH-255 also appears to have been occupied only once, thus greatly increasing its interpretive potential. 19 The overall artifact assemblage recovered in the 2% sample is not atypical of sites of this age, but the recovery of a sinew stone, which is unusual, does suggest that other specialized activities may have been undertaken at this site as well. In addition, the preservation of pottery at shallow sites is generally poor; here, preservation is demonstrably better, which might allow for the reconstruction of one or more vessels. Nearly all artifacts were recovered from a plow zone context. Shallow fire hearths may have been incorporated into the plow zone also, but the bases of one or more cultural features may still be found undisturbed below the plow zone. Of equal importance, the tight horizontal clustering of artifacts evident in the initial test pits suggests that plowing has done little to disturb the integrity of artifact patterns. Hence, the potential for site interpretation is enhanced. In brief, V -CH-255 possesses considerable research potential, and thus significance. The best option for this site at the moment is to avoid it during facilities design, subsequent construction and operation. By using the negative test pits surrounding the culturally positive core of test pits as the outer limit of the site, VT-CH-255 could be protected from future damage. During construction, a snow fence could be used to protect the site. The current tree cover should also help to isolate the site, but if needed, trees could be cut and cleared by hand. No mechanized equipment should be used. 20 With the exception of VT-CH-255, it is our conclusion that archaeological sampling has been sufficient to identify all probable sites of potential significance. For this reason, if VT-CH-255 can be protected, development of this parcel should have no effect on significant archaeological resources.

Public Buildings Permit from the Agency of Environmental Conservation, Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering to certify compliance with the Vermont Environmental Protection Rules. 2. Temporary Pollution permit for stormwater discharge from the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering. 3. Draft of the proposed lease for space within the buildings including requirements that lessees comply with terms of any Land Use Permit. 4. Letter from the local police department indicating whether this project will result in any burden on their ability to provide services. 5. Letter from the City of South Burlington indicating whether this project will result in any burden on the City's ability to provide road maintenance services and land fill capacity. Page 2 6. Evidence to support affirmative conclusions under subcriterion 9(J) (public utilities) as it applies to the provision of electrical service. As a minimum, this should include a letter from the local electric utility indicating that they have the capacity to serve the project. During the hearing, the applicant that indicated electric lines could be brought into the site either form Kimball Ave. via underground lines or from Route 2 north of the site overhead across Potash Brook and then underground to the buildings. Although the Commission has serious concerns about additional overhead lines, they will consider northern route option if the applicant provides the following: 1. Plan showing the overhead line location with limits of cutting shown. Also address the visual impact of the overhead line. 2. Power company's anticipated schedule for installing the underground line along Kimball Ave. (we understand that it is to be installed soon regardless). 3. Information regarding the difference in costs between the two options. In addition, the Commission has concerns about the effect that site work at the entrance drive and below the stormwater retention area will have on Potash Brook. These are the two areas where the project comes the closest to the stream. The Commission will be soliciting more specific comments from the Department of Water Resources and Environmental Engineering regarding this issue. The Commission will remain in recess until satisfied that the record for the case is complete. When satisfied, the Commission will adjourn the hearing and a decision will be issued as soon as possible thereafter (not longer than 20 days). If there are any questions, please contact my office. CW/srk Memorandum Octobe 16, October 12, Page 5 - Planning 1990 agenda items 1990 Lighting: A total of seven (7) parking/roadway lights are pro- posed. Each light will be 175 watt metal halides type FM rectan- gular one way cutoff luminaire on a 20 foot steel pole. Traffic_ This property is not within any Traffic Overlay zone. The applicant estimates the average daily traffic to be 84 with an A.M. peak of 20 and a P.M. peak of 12. The applicant must pay $880.00 towards his share of the required improvements to the Airport Parkway/Ethan Drive intersection. This fee was placed on the original 21 lot subdivision approval. Sewer: The property will be served by on -site sewer. The State will have to review and approve the on -site system. Other: The Natural Resources Committee reviewed these plans and will have comments for the Commission. This is a mixed use development which would require a conditional use permit from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. 7) WOODLANDS MINI -GOLF. 102 KIMBALL AVENUE This project involves the installation of an indoor mini -golf facility in unit #14 at. Woodland Commons on Kimball Avenue. There will be no exterior changes needed. Access: Access to the project is via one (1) access drive to Kimball Avenue. No changes will be made to this access. Parking/Circulation: There will be 20 seats in the facility which will require seven (7) parking spaces. The plans submitted shows a total of 105 spaces for the entire development and the plan approved by the Planning Commission in 1986 shows 97 spaces. The easements which go with this unit indicate that it is enti- tled to 6.2% of the common amenities which translates to six (6) spaces if there are 97 spaces and seven (7) spaces if there are 105 spaces. There will be no changes in circulation. Landscaping: This project does not require any additional landscaping. The plan submitted indicates a row of trees between the northerly building and the walking trail which do not now exist. Some of the required trees on the slope behind this building are either dead or are dying. Some other minor land- scaping changes have been made. 5 Memorandum - Planning October 16, 1990 agenda items October 12, 1990 Page 6 Traffic: This project is not within any Traffic Overlay zone. The applicant estimates the average daily traffic to be 50 - 60 vehicles. The peak days of operation will be Saturday and Sun- day. Other: The footprint of the northerly building is different and larger- on the plan submitted than on the 1986 plan. The 1986 plan indicates that this building is 47,100 square feet and the new plan indicates that it is 51,200 square feet (it scale off to be 55,860 square feet). There is presently some outside storage on the property. Some of this storage is in the green area behind unit 420 plus some of it is in the paved area to the west of units #6, 8 and 10. Bill Szymanski has reviewed these plans and has no comments. 8) BONANZA MOTEL ADDITION - SHELBURNE ROAD This project involves the continuation of an addition to the existing Bonanza Restaurant building for use as a 60 unit motel, lounge and indoor pool. The Bonanza restaurant will be converted to a motel restaurant, it will no longer be a "fast-food" restau- rant. To provide the additional amount of land needed, the developer proposes to acquire a 140' x 250' parcel adjacent to his property. The owners of the adjacent property, Robert Kelly and Charles Jennings, will first have to obtain subdivision approval from the Planing Commission for a property line adjustment. The reason this approval is needed is that the lot resulting from the annex- ation will be large enough to be subdivided into two (2) lots. The remaining lot, which fronts on Swift Street, will provide a r.o.w. and egress from the site to Swift Street. As part of the subdivision review process, the Planning Commission will have to examine this remaining lot for compliance with the coverage and other requirements. The owner of this lot will have to submit a detailed site plan in order for the staff to review for compli- ance. Site plan review would then be needed to evaluate the new development. The subdivision review and the site plan review could be handled as separate agenda items with the site plan review being after the subdivision review. 6 M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Joe Weith, City Planner Re: October 30, 1990 agenda items Date: October 26, 1990 1 3) WOODLAND'S MINI -GOLF. KIMBALL AVENUE This application was continued to this meeting in order to allow staff to research more applicable parking standards for the particular use. The applicant has since withdrawn its applica- tion. The Commission should make a motion which officially acknowledges the withdrawn application. This is a safeguard against a potential claim that the 60 day time limit expired, therefore the application is approved. 4) COLONIAL MOTOR INN. SHELBURNE ROAD This application was continued in order to give Chief Goddette an opportunity to respond to the report prepared by the building code consultant. Chief Goddette will be present at Tuesday's meeting to respond to the report and also further explain his concerns regarding the application. 5) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT, UNSWORTH PROPERTY, AIRPORT PARKWAY Enclosed is the report which was prepared for the proposed amend- ment to the future land use map contained in the comprehensive plan. The amendment would change the designation of 21 acres located off Airport Parkway at the Lime Kiln bridge (Unsworth property) from industrial to moderate density residential. This plan amendment is appropriate before amending the zoning regulations. 1%61,70 S;-� /%tee' FlZ '� (moo tit c �► L- do,�0 1 v1 4A 7-sA4 s ' �tLt�`�NaUPcN G�LF --w-P- I S ,G-te �(a� /,a,,d ,1 / yr' TO: FROM: RE: DATE: 1. 2. 3. �i�u� ui iiiYir►ct►�r�' cri��c► t► ;tia ±�ar:�et street ==�nutlj i6urliugtim, llermout 0-5413 SO.

Kimball -Avenue. Mr. O'Brien said they want to install an 18-hole mini -golf course and small party area for children's parties. There would be about 20 seats in the facility. 7 parking spaces are required. The ex- terior of the building will not be changed. There would be 1 or 2 employees. Mr. Weith noted outdoor storage behind unit 20 which Mr. Palmer will remove. Also, storage in trucks by one of the tenants will go to the Zoning Board next week. Mrs. Maher felt this an not an appropriate use in this setting. Mr. Burgess noted a letter of concern from Mr. Press. Mr. Press was present and said parking is already very crowded. He is a tenant 2 units down and foresees a lot more cars coming and going. Mr. Weith said he couldn't find a standard for mini -golf use so he based his figures on the 20 seats in the party area. Mr. Maher suggested continuing the application for 2 weeks until the applicant has been to Zoning. If Zoning approves it, she suggested the applicant come in with a parking plan. Mr. Press said he is also concerned with traffic on Kimball Ave. It is very bad now and he is concerned with cars blocking the PLANNING COMMISSION 16 October 1990 page 8 center area so trucks can't turn around. Mrs. Maher moved to continue the application for 2 weeks and ask that the developer bring in a parking and circulation plan. Ms. Pugh seconded. Motion passed unanimously. As there was no further business to come before the Commission, the meeting adjourned at 10:30 pm.

Phone (802) 863-3415 October 11, 1990 over the proposal to locate in Woodland Commons, 102 Kimball Specifically, I foresee two major problems. First, the parking area at Woodland Commons is not large enough to accomodate any major increase in usage. Currently the side areas are quite full and the middle area is needed for cars and especially trucks to come and go. Second, Kimball Avenue is a very busy street, and with the addition of the new INS building traffic will only get worse. From both directions the approach to Woodland Commons is on a blind curve. The posted speed speed limit of 40 MPH is generally disobeyed. I believe we will see an increase in accidents because of cars waiting to turn into Woodland Commons, especailly at night. In a more general concern, I feel that any retail recreational facility violates the spirit of the zoning apporoval originally given to Woodland Commons. Our Declaration of Condominium, Article 12, states that the purpose is restricted to industrial, commerical and warehouse use only. While this proposal may be commercial, it most certainly has nothing to do with the other type of businesses here, which are industrial and warehouse. Thank you for the opportunity of allowing me to voice my opinions. I am sure that they will be given your full consideration.

Several discrepancies were found between the plan approved in 1986 and the plan submitted. They are as follows: --- the footprint of the northerly building is different and larger on the plan submitted than on the 1986 plan. The 1986 plan indicates that this building is 47,100 square feet and the new plan indicates that it is 51,300 square feet (it scales off to be 55,860 square feet). --- additional parking and changes to the parking layout were made since the 1986 plan was approved. 97 spaces were ap proved and the new plan shows 105 spaces. --- landscaping changes were made. The new plan indicates a row of trees between the northerly building and the walking trail which do not exist. Some of the trees on the slope behind this building are either dead or dying. There is presently some outside storage on the property. Some of this storage is in the green area behind unit #20 plus some of it is in the paved area to the west of units #6, 8 and 10. The proposed use requires seven (7) parking spaces (20 seats @3 seats per space) and the covenants which go with this unit indi- cate that it is entitled to 6.2% of the amenities or 6 to 7 spaces. A copy of these covenants should be submitted for staff review.
