 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

 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. V.R.C.P. 74; 19 V.S.A. § 740.

 Decision and Order of the City Council with Mayor Presiding
 City of Burlington, Vermont
Determination of Compensation for the Taking of Land for the Alteration of
 a Public Intersection known as the Colchester Avenue Riverside Avenue,
 Barrett Street, and Mill Street Intersection Project STP 5000(29)

 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 and to
determine compensation 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 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.
Ultimately, the City Council ordered condemnation of a portion of property owned by
Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra located at 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8).

 Following the hearing on necessity on May 21, 2026, the Council opened a
hearing on determination of damages and compensation. At the hearing, the following
individuals testified: Gosia Carr, VTrans Right of Way Appraiser III; Steven Spear of
HNTB; Barbara Dimick-Rowell, VTrans Right-of-Way Agent; and Kristin Barany,
VTrans Right of Way Agent. The Council recessed the hearing and continued it until
June 1, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. 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:

 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 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.

 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.

 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

 457 Colchester Avenue (PO8), shall be compensated in the amount of Twenty

Daniel K. Oren and Milagros T. Ibarra, owners of property located at located at 457
Colchester Avenue (PO8), in the amount of Twenty Thousand, Six Hundred Dollars
($20,600) for the property interests that have been condemned by the Council.
