Developers of a proposed Appletree Point senior housing and assisted living facility offered a revised plan Tuesday to the Burlington Development Review Board. The new plan is meant as a means to discuss ways to alleviate concerns among neighbors of the project, said Bill Niquette of Infill Development Services, which is developing the project. The alternative plan led opponents to complain they are facing a frustrating, moving target. Infill originally proposed a 256-unit project on 16 acres in the Appletree Point neighborhood. Residents of nearby streets said the project would dwarf homes surrounding the site and worsen traffic in the area. new Click here to read more.

Some of the units would be set aside for low-income families. Such housing is much needed in Burlington's tight housing market, said Brian Pine, housing director for the city's Community and Economic Development Office. Residents of Sunset Cliff Road and other nearby neighborhoods are opposing Keystone Development Corp.'s plan. They appealed a city permit, saying Appletree Terrace defies city regulations and would harm a precious wetland. Their opposition to Appletree Terrace was heard in "Environmental Court" in June. A decision is pending. I completely understand that Burlington has a housing shortage, but I don't think that building in places that haven't been developed is the ideal," said Nancy Kaplan, whose Muirfield Road home backs onto the currently vacant woodlands. "I had a fox running through my back yard. Once you lose that, it's gone forever." (Link number 29 was added on 6-Aug-2002 and has had 44 hits.

A New housing proposal is a hot subject in South Burlington. The prospect of more traffic at an already busy intersection drew a standing-room-only crowd Tuesday to a meeting of the Development Review Board in South Burlington. At issue was a proposed development of seven four-story buildings with 160 rental units behind Staples on Williston Road. The 26-acre parcel, at 270 Quarry Hill Road, is owned by Ralph Deslauriers Jr. and would be developed by John Larkin. Dozens of concerned residents of East Terrace and Spear Street turned out for a hearing on the proposal, which was in a preliminary, sketch-plan phase. Engineer Lance Llewellyn, who presented the proposal, said parking for residents of the housing would be provided beneath the buildings. He also said some of the land would be reserved for unspecified future commercial use. ... Residents expressed their concerns about increased traffic from a proposed road through the development that would connect with East Terrace.

This in spite of new affordable housing construction and low-income rent assistance. ... The report, entitled Out of Reach, calculates Vermont's "housing wage" -- the hourly pay a single person needs to afford a two-bedroom apartment at fair market rent. In the Burlington area the housing wage is .35. In rural areas it's significantly lower, at .63. The statewide average housing wage is .78. The report is issued nationally and ranks all of the states. Among rural areas, Vermont ranks as the eighth least affordable state. ... But to make matters worse, it's not clear if much existing housing would be allowed if it were being built today. Vermont's stormwater runoff controversy has stalled the permitting system and threatens to put a halt to any significant construction. Carpenter spoke for many in the housing business who worry about the implications. Click here to read more. (Link number 117 was added on 26-Sep-2003 and has had 62 hits.

The change is due in part to a 1999 law that created a program to keep track of unoccupied buildings. The ordinance requires property owners to make vacant buildings safe and apply for development permits or pay per quarter to the city, said Kathleen Butler, policy analyst at the Burlington code enforcement office. Vacant building fees are used to cover administrative costs of the program. ... A count of the number of buildings that have been removed from the vacant list since 1999 is difficult to establish because some land records are outdated, Butler said. Unoccupied buildings are viewed as undesirable because they detract from the value of neighboring properties, Butler said. Eliminating vacant buildings also addresses the housing shortage in the city. The housing shortage has eased during the last year, said Brian Pine at the city's Community and Economic Development Office. (Link number 115 was added on 16-Aug-2003 and has had 41 hits.

Affordable Housing On Burlington's Waterfront is Raising Controversy. The Burlington city council is expected to approve a plan to build affordable housing on the waterfront. But is the waterfront the right place? The Depot Street Triangle has been controversial from the beginning. In spite of reservations by many who say the waterfront is not the place to lock in lower property values, the city council is expected to approve a long-term lease of the nearly two-acre parcel to the Burlington Community Land Trust, to build as many as forty units of affordable housing. "When the land was acquired, it was acquired for the purpose of creating housing at that location," argues Brian Pine of the Community and Economic Development Office, CEDO. "The real question becomes, should we have affordable housing on the waterfront? And this city has decided that the only way to get a mixed-income, mixed-use waterfront that's vibrant year-round is to make the site available for affordable housing."

Rita Markley figured that the economic downturn would help free up some apartments and houses and begin to ease the housing crisis that has gripped northwest Vermont and the Upper Connecticut River Valley. Recessions and the job losses that accompany them typically cause people to seek new jobs that require them to relocate, opening at least some housing stock and helping to drive down rents. That hasn't happened, and so Markley's group, the Committee on Temporary Shelter, followed through on plans to buy a building to house 10 homeless families. Even with the additional space in the former YWCA in downtown Burlington, there are countless people who have spent the winter -- and quite possibly will do the same throughout the summer -- making do with facilities that wouldn't pass a housing inspection.

Finding a buyer was the easy part, Demers said. Closing the deal was not. Stonehedge's state stormwater permit had expired, meaning the buyers could not obtain a clear title to the townhouse. Demers is not the only homeowner who has encountered this problem. About 1,000 stormwater permits for large residential and commercial projects in Vermont have expired. Renewal has been delayed by lawsuits, politics and the low priority permit renewal was given in the 1990s. Real estate brokers, bankers and title insurance underwriters say the expired stormwater permits add to the hassle of selling a home for a growing number of sellers.

Housing, banking, and real-estate development officials turned shovels up at an open house for Maple Tree apartments in Williston. "Why housing is so important at Taft's Corner is it fulfills certain goals that we've had in our town plan," said Mary Weston, chair of the Williston selectboard.

Burlington is Endorsing A Major Housing Development. For several months, the statewide Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington has considered selling its headquarters for development as a major housing project. The diocesan property is a prime piece of real estate, 32 acres overlooking Lake Champlain off North Avenue. Specific plans for the property are still in the works, but the concept now has the city's endorsement. This is one of the largest undeveloped parcels of land in the city, and one of the most valuable, although untaxed as church property. ... The property could hold as many as 700 housing units under current zoning, although officials say the plan more likely will call for three or four hundred. The former orphanage, the original buildings dating from 1882, has stood empty for so long (since the early 1970s) that the church was under pressure to do something with it. Although expensive to renovate, the old orphanage could be made into affordable apartments for the elderly -- a concept strongly endorsed by the church.

Cohousing argued in papers filed Nov. 19 with the city that it cannot be made to sell the land.
