Decision for the Order of Compensation Page 151 of 167 Decision and Order of the City Council with Mayor Presiding City of Burlington, Vermont For the Alteration of a Public Intersection known as the Colchester Avenue Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29), and for Condemnation of a Portion Thereof The City Council with Mayor presiding (“Council”) of the City of Burlington, Vermont (“City”), by its own motion made and passed at a duly warned meeting of the board on April 13, 2026, initiated proceedings pursuant to Chapter 7 of Title 19 of the Vermont Statutes to alter an intersection and to begin condemnation proceedings for a portion of the intersection project known as the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29) (“Project”). Notice of the condemnation site visit and hearing was given in accordance with 19 V.S.A. § 709 and the City Charter, with written notice being given in the following manner to the following individuals and entities: By certified mail to the individuals and entities noted in Attachment A and by posting in the City Clerk’s office, the Public Works Department, and the Fletcher Free Library, and by publishing in a local newspaper of general circulation, the Seven Days, on April 22, 2026 and by notification to the City’s Planning Commission. At 8:30 a.m. on May 21, 2026 the Council held a site inspection, which was followed on May 21, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. by a hearing on whether the public good, necessity, and convenience of the inhabitants of the City require the Project. The Board also took up the question of whether portions of the properties of Isabella B. Bennett, located at 448-450 Colchester Avenue (PO1), Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra located at 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8), and Burlington Estates, LLC located at 465-467 Colchester Avenue (PO10) would need to be condemned for the Project. At the hearing, testimony of the Project team and interested persons and evidence was taken, with all attendants being given the opportunity to question the witnesses by cross examination. During the site inspection, the Council and others visited the location where the intersection would be altered as well as the particular properties being considered for condemnation. City staff marked off the existing right of way and indicated the areas being considered for condemnation. The hearing followed that evening, in which the following individuals testified: Stephen Spear of HNTB; Rosa Benoir, Right of Way Appraisal Chief at VTrans; Madeline Suender, Burlington Public Works Engineer; Barbara Dimick-Rowell, VTrans Right-of-Way Agent; and Dr. Isabella B. Bennett, property owner of PO1. All parties present were afforded the opportunity for cross examination of any witnesses testifying and all persons in attendance were afforded the opportunity to present evidence. The proceedings were videotaped. During the hearing, the following exhibits were introduced: 1. Set of Right of Way Plans dated April 24, 2026 and prepared by VTrans 2. Notice of Hearing Page 152 of 167 3. Certified Mail Receipts and Acceptances of Service 4. Publication Tear Sheet 5. Finance and Maintenance Agreement between the State of Vermont and the City of Burlington 6. 2019 Colchester Avenue/Riverside Avenue Intersection Scoping Study 7. Waiver Valuations for PO1, PO8, and PO10 8. Offer Letters for PO1, PO8, and PO10 9. Slide Presentation by Stephen Spear of HNTB 10. Warranty Deeds for PO8 & PO10 and Grant of Temporary Rights for PO1 11. Option Agreements for PO8 and PO10 12. Easement Descriptions for PO1, PO8, and PO10 13. City Council Approvals 14. Photos of the properties being considered for condemnation No party raised any objection to the admission of any exhibits, and therefore, every exhibit listed above was admitted into evidence. Based on the evidence, testimony, and exhibits presented at the hearing, the Council makes the following findings of fact: 1. The Project is intended to improve safety and mobility for users, simplify the intersection, enhance the gateway into Burlington, and manage traffic congestion. 2. A scoping study completed between 2017 and 2019 analyzed alternatives and ultimately recommended the Project and described the Project’s purpose and need. 3. Among the determinations of the scoping study were a need for designated bicycle lanes and improved safety for pedestrians. 4. The scoping study was completed in 2020 and went through a refinement in 2023, both of which were approved by the City Council. 5. The Project is bundled with the Winooski bridge project and has a September federal construction funding deadline, which requires all property rights being secured by that date. 6. The new roadway on Colchester Avenue will include two northbound approach lanes and one southbound lane. 7. Two lanes northbound will improve traffic flow across the bridge. 8. The new roadway on Colchester Avenue will include buffered bike lanes, wider esplanades, and sidewalks to improve safety and mobility for all users of the intersection. 9. The Project adds a pedestrian phase to the traffic signal which does not exist in the current intersection. The pedestrian phase will increase safety for pedestrians as well as other users. 10. The delay created by the pedestrian phase is intended to be balanced by including two northbound approach lanes, which will increase safety and allow more cars to pass. 11. The new roadway on Colchester Avenue will include sidewalks that transition into a shared use area. Page 153 of 167 12. The steep slopes on the east side of Colchester Avenue, driveways on both sides of Colchester Avenue, and the plan to underground utilities impacted the design of the Project. 13. To proceed with the Project, the City requires easements over PO1 including temporary construction easements for driveway construction to match the new sidewalk grade slightly outside the right-of-way, replacement of existing steps, and lawn restoration. 14. To proceed with the Project, the City requires easements over PO8 including permanent easements for retaining wall construction and access for future wall maintenance and construction; a temporary construction easement for slope grading and lawn restoration behind the retaining wall, walkway construction, and contractor access; and permanent utility and temporary driveway easements for underground utilities and driveway reconstruction following the undergrounding of utilities. 15. To proceed with the Project, the City requires easements over PO10 including permanent easements to install and maintain a retaining wall and provide access for future wall maintenance and construction; temporary construction easements for slope grading and lawn restoration behind the retaining wall, walkway construction, replacement of an existing porch, and contractor access; and permanent utility and temporary driveway easements for underground utilities and driveway reconstruction following the undergrounding of utilities. 16. Utilities currently overhead on Colchester Avenue will be moved underground to the back side of the properties on the east side of Colchester Avenue. 17. The undergrounding of utilities will enhance the gateway into Burlington and remove visual clutter. 18. The easements over PO1, PO8, and PO10 will have no or minimal impact on the grand list. 19. Dr. Isabel Bennet, owner of PO1, testified that she signed the requested easement for the Project. 20.Barb Dimick-Rowell of VTrans testified that she received the signed easement. Because the easement had not been supervisor approved, the City requested that PO1 remain under consideration for condemnation. 21. Dr. Bennet also testified as to slope concerns with the Project and Stephen Spear testified that geotechnical engineers have been involved with and will continue to be involved with the Project. 22. Property owners of PO8 and PO10 did not testify at the hearing or submit evidence. 23. The City notified persons owning or interested in the lands through which the Project will pass or abut by certified mail of when the City Council would inspect the site and receive testimony. 24.The City posted notice of the hearing in three public places in the City pursuant to 19 V.S.A. § 709. 25. A notice of the hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation not less than ten days before the hearing. 26.Proposed deeds or agreements of temporary rights were provided to the owners of PO1, PO8, and PO10 for the proposed portion of the properties to be acquired for the Project. Page 154 of 167 27. The easements are limited to what is necessary for the Project. 28.The scenic and recreational values of the highway will be improved with the alteration and undergrounding of utilities, and the undergrounding of utilities will accommodate present and future utility installations. Based on the evidence presented and testimony heard at the hearing, and pursuant to 19 V.S.A. § 710, the Council determines the following: 1. The public good, necessity and convenience of the inhabitants of the City of Burlington require that the lands described and depicted on the survey/plans, known as Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29), be altered. 2. The public good, necessity and convenience of the inhabitants of the City of Burlington require that the easements as described in the deeds, agreements of temporary rights, and easement descriptions for PO1, PO8, and PO10 be condemned. Prior to this decision being issued, the City received signed easements or agreements for PO1 and PO10 which eliminated the need to condemn those properties. Based on the preceding findings and conclusions of law, the Council orders the alteration of the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29) as described on the survey/plans entered into evidence and condemnation pursuant to the proposed Warranty Deeds of Easement to the City of Burlington for property owned by Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra located at 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8). The landowners affected by this order shall have a period of 60 days from the date of this order to remove all fences, timber, wood and trees, from the area now covered by the public right of way, after which the City shall assume control of the land over which it passes, for purposes of highways. Any person interested in this decision to alter the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29) may appeal this decision to the Chittenden County Superior Court, Civil Division within 30 days of the decision, in writing.

Notice of the compensation hearing was given in accordance with 19 V.S.A. § 709 and the City Charter, with written notice being given in the following manner to the following individuals and entities: By certified mail to the individuals and entities noted in Attachment A and by posting in the City Clerk’s office, the Public Works Department, and the Fletcher Free Library, and by publishing in a local newspaper of general circulation, the Seven Days, on April 22, 2026 and by notification to the City’s Planning Commission. At 8:30 a.m. on May 21, 2026 the Council held a site inspection, which was followed on May 21, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. by a hearing on whether the public good, necessity, and convenience of the inhabitants of the municipality require the Project. The Board also took up the question of whether portions of the properties of Isabella B. Bennett, located at 448-450 Colchester Avenue (PO1), Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra located at 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8), and Burlington Estates, LLC located at 465-467 Colchester Avenue (PO10) would need to be condemned for the Project. Following the hearing, the Council determined that the public good, necessity, and convenience of the inhabitants of the City require the alteration of the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29) and condemnation of portions of PO1, PO8, and PO10. Following the condemnation hearing and before the Council issued its written decision on condemnation, the PO1 and PO10 property owners executed easements to the City which eliminated a need to condemn or determine compensation for those properties.

Based on the evidence, testimony, and exhibits presented at the hearing, the Council makes the following findings of fact: 1. The Council found that the public good, necessity, and convenience of the inhabitants of the City of Burlington required alteration of the intersection project known as the Colchester Avenue, Riverside Avenue, Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29) and condemnation of PO1, PO8, and PO10. 2. The property owners of PO1 and PO10 executed easements to the City which eliminated the need to condemn those properties or to determine just compensation. 3. The property owner of PO8 is entitled to just compensation for the condemnation of their property. 4. VTrans prepared a waiver valuation for PO8. 5. Waiver valuations, rather than appraisals, are performed for easements where the taking is not complicated and where the easement value is under $35,000. 6. The valuations are determined by factoring the assessed land value, adjusting for the common level of appraisal, to determine the per square foot price. 7. For temporary easements, the value is calculated by the number of years the easement will be in place. Page 158 of 167 8. The easements over PO8 include permanent easements for retaining wall construction and access for future wall maintenance and construction; a temporary construction easement for slope grading and lawn restoration behind the retaining wall, walkway construction, and contractor access; and permanent utility and temporary driveway easements for underground utilities and driveway reconstruction following the undergrounding of utilities. 9. The value of the permanent and temporary easements over PO8 were determined by VTrans to be $20,600. This amount included $9,200 for permanent rights, $9,600 for temporary rights, and $1,800 for the cost to cure value of two trees. 10. Compensation cannot be provided for issues that are not related to the specific easements being obtained. 11. General construction impacts are not compensable. 12. Changes in the mode or extent of access are not compensable. 13. Offers and proposed deed or grants of temporary rights were provided to all impacted property owners. 14. VTrans confirmed that they had been in touch with the PO8 owner and the PO8 owners had obtained the offer. 15. The PO8 property owner did not attend the hearing or submit evidence. 16. The PO8 property owner did not object to the compensation offered in the waiver valuation. 17. The City notified persons owning or interested in the lands through which the Project will pass or abut by certified mail of when the City Council would inspect the site and receive testimony. 18. The City posted notice of the hearing in three public places in the City pursuant to 19 V.S.A. § 709. 19. A notice of the hearing was published in a newspaper of general circulation not less than ten days before the hearing. Based on the evidence presented and testimony heard at the hearing, and pursuant to 19 V.S.A. § 712, the Council determines the following: 1. Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra, owners of property located at located at 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8), shall be compensated in the amount of Twenty Thousand, Six Hundred Dollars ($20,600) for the property interests that have been condemned by the Council.
