MEMORANDUM
TO: License Committee/City Council
FROM: Caleb Manna, Associate Public Works Engineer, Department of Public Works
DATE: March 19th, 2025
CC: Chapin Spencer, Director of Public Works.
Laura Wheelock, P.E.; Sr. Public Works Engineer
RE: CityPlace Burlington – Third Amendment to License Agreement and
Encumbrance Permit - Bank and Cherry Street Right-of-Way
Request
The applicant, CityPlace Partners, is requesting approval to extend the term date on the Second
Amendment to the Agreement between CityPlace Partners (CPP) and the City of Burlington (City)
Regarding Construction Encumbrance License Agreement. The current term date on second
amendment to the agreement is set to expire on April 1, 2025.
As stated in Burlington Code of Ordinance Chapter 27-32(a): “No permit as required by
Section 27-31 shall be for longer than sixty (60) days, except as authorized by the city council.”
Overview
To facilitate the initial phase of construction on CityPlace Burlington, The Department of Public
Works issued Encumbrance Permit REN 22-66 and REN 22-65 in October of 2022 following City
Council approval for long term occupancy of the Bank and Cherry Street right-of-way to begin the
construction on the project.
DPW issued Encumbrance Permit REN 23-1 on February 14, 2023 to S.D. Ireland, representing
CityPlace Partners, requesting to occupy an additional 2,850 sq. ft. of public right-of-way space
on Cherry Street. The request proposed to eliminated twelve (12) parking spaces on the South
side of Cherry Street, and, at the request of DPW, remove three (3) metered parking spaces on
the North side of 133 Bank Street to enhance public transportation safety, and allow more space
for local delivery access.
Following approval of this request in spring of 2023, CPP decided against use of the metered
parking stall on the South side of Cherry St, as previously requested and approved. As such,
metered parking on Cherry St. has remained publicly available throughout the duration of this
project in effort to make right of way space available.
Page 14 of 57
RE: CityPlace Burlington March 19th, 2025
Page | 2 of 3
The project is now at a point where construction on the North Tower for CityPlace will require use
of the 12 metered parking spaces on the South side of Cherry Street previously approved under
the First Amendment to the agreement. The spaces will be used to help construct the exterior
siding, windows, balconies, and streetscape features, as well as provide additional public pro-
tection from construction activities.
In recent discussions between CityPlace Partners and DPW, the applicant has indicated that right-
of-way occupation on Bank Street is scheduled to end in May of 2025. Bank Street will be returned
to a two-way travel condition approved under Bank Street Greats Streets being concurrently
constructed as the South Tower of CityPlace comes online in the spring of 2025.
Under the Third Amendment to the agreement, with a term date of April 1, 2025 to June 1 2027,
the occupation of Bank Street ceases in May, and the occupation of Cherry Street expands to
include the metered parking stall on the south side of roadway between Pine Street and St. Paul
Street.
Recommendation
The Department of Public Works is supportive of entering into a Third Amendment to the License
Agreement between the applicant and the City, to extend the expiration of the term date 6/1/2027.
No further changes to the Agreement are anticipated at this time.
Thank you for consideration of this request, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at
CManna@burlingtonvt.gov or 802-865-7562.

RE: Department of Public Works –266 College Street– Encumbrance Permit Request
Request
The applicant, ReArch Companies Inc., is requesting approval from the Licensing Committee for
long-term obstruction of the public sidewalk and parking stall on the west side of S. Union Street,
between College Street and Bradley Street, as well as occupying twenty one (21) meter parking
spaces in the city owned parking lot adjacent to 266 College Street and City Market.
As stated in Burlington Code of Ordinance Chapter 27-32(a): “No permit as required by
Section 27-31 shall be for longer than sixty (60) days, except as authorized by the city council.”
Overview
The Department of Public Works received an application (REN 25-1) from ReArch Companies
on February 11, 2025, requesting use of the public right of way to facilitate development on the
old YMCA parcel located at 266 College until November of 2027. Work under the project will
remove and reconstruct a portion of the building to be converted into housing units. In order to
demolish and construct the building, the applicant will require use of the sidewalk and parking
stalls on S. Union Street, for truck loading/unloading, and a support of excavation for the new
building foundation.
Use of the city owned parking lot adjacent to downtown City Market will also be needed during
construction. DPW staff, the owner of 266 College Street, and ReArch met with City Market in
February of 2025 to discuss impacts to the area. During these conversations, it was agreed
upon that a slip lane for traffic existing out to S. Union Street will be maintained in an effort to
minimize disruptions to a highly trafficked destination for Burlington.
Page 37 of 57
RE: 266 College Street March 19, 2025
Page | 2 of 2
The permit applicant proposed a reduced meter fee, typically billed under maximum daily meter
rate, in exchange for the resurfacing of the existing parking lot, estimated at $75,000 value. The
value in exchange for pavement resurfacing on the city owned parking lot will be deducted from
the annual meter fee in FY27.
This construction encumbrance permit and license agreement will allow the contractor to use
the City Parking Lot adjacent to 266 College Street, as well as the sidewalk and parking stall on
the west side of S. Union Street as a staging and laydown area throughout construction. This
will allow the project to advance as quickly as possible while minimizing disturbance as much as
reasonably possible to the general public.
The City included requirements for posting notice for the lot prior to and following the
encumbrance of these spaces for construction. There are currently 21 hourly spaces in the
parking lot, and 12 spaces in the southern side of South Union Street in front of the property. All
of these spaces are metered parking. Should the opportunity arise where use of the public
metered parking is not needed by the contractor, the spaces will be returned to public use.
Recommendation
Thank you for consideration of this request, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at

Dear Licensing Committee Members,
The Department of Public Works recommends approval of the Encumbrance Permit Application
submitted by Rearch Company, INC for the use of 4976 square feet and 21 parking spaces of public
right-of-way at 266 college. This recommendation is based on a thorough review of the application and
is subject to the conditions outlined below and review by the City Attorney's Office.
Rearch Company, Inc is requesting this permanent encumbrance on the west side of Union Street, North
side of College Street, and the Burlington City owned paid parking lot located just North of the 266
property. Rearch Company, Inc. is refurbishing the property to now include housing, allowing the south
facing building to remain unmodified. Rearch is also planning on reconstructing the adjacent sidewalks
to comply with Burlington great street standards. During construction Rearch will be occupying majority
of the Burlington paid parking lot, allowing for a one way pass through as not to obstruct traffic exiting
from Burlington City Market onto south union. The proposal complies with the Burlington Code of
Ordinances, specifically Chapter 27-31(a), which allows for encumbrances those which exceed 60 days
with the approval of Licensing Committee Members. The DPW supports formalizing this through a
License Agreement with an annual fee of $1 per square foot, payable through the City’s OpenGov Portal.
Therefore, I urge the Licensing Committee and City Council to approve this request, subject to the
aforementioned conditions and review by the City Attorney’s Office.
Sincerely,
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you require further information, I am available at
ASchwencke@burlingtonvt.gov or 802-865-7562.
Sincerely,
Alice Schwencke
Excavation Inspector
