RE: 60 Battery St.- Encumbrance Application – Greenbelt Encumbrance


Request

The applicant, Justin Chapman with Diamondrock Burlington Tenant, LLC (Hotel Champlain)
located at 60 Battery Street, is requesting approval for the installation of two (2) signs in the
public ROW to support traffic circulation on the property. The request, if approved, will allow for
the installation of the signs, through a license agreement with the City.

Overview

The Department of Public Works (DPW) received a request from Hotel Champlain on September
1st, 2025 for the installation of two (2) signs with one at the entrance and one at the exit drives in
front of Hotel Champlain to better direct visitors and avoid traffic safety concerns.

The encumbered area the signs will occupy meets all the requirements to occupy the Right of
Way (ROW). The encumbered area will allow for the installation of two permanent signs for Entry
and Exit. The signs will not obstruct or block visual line of sights when entering Battery Street.
The install will not interfere with municipal or utility maintenance or operations.

Schedule

Hotel Champlain requests the use of the ROW between the side walk and the roadway at 60
Battery Street known as the city greenbelt. This encumbrance will commence on encumbrance
approval date and terminate on April 30th, 2027 to be renewed annually if required.

Dear Licensing Committee Members,



The Department of Public Works recommends approval of the Encumbrance Permit Application
submitted by Justin Chapman General Manager of Hotel Champlain for the use of public right-of-way at
60 Battery Street. 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.

Diamond Rock Tenant, LLC D/B/A Hotel Champlain is requesting this temporary encumbrance on the
east side of Battery Street to encumber approximately twelve (12) square feet adjacent to the Hotel
Champlain business front with in the City greenbelt Right-of-Way

The proposed arrangement is in full compliance with the Burlington Code of Ordinances, specifically
Section 27-31(a), which permits encumbrances exceeding 60 days with the approval of Licensing
Committee Members. The Department of Public Works (DPW) recommends formalizing this through a
structured License Agreement.

We respectfully request that the Licensing Committee and City Council approve this proposal,
contingent upon the aforementioned conditions and subject to review by the City Attorney’s Office.



Sincerely,
Alice Schwencke

 3. This Paragraph K. also does not apply:

 Otherwise, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Condition, the insurance provided to
 such person or organization is excess of any other insurance available to such person or organization.
3. BODILY INJURY  EXPANDED DEFINITION
 Under DEFINITIONS, the definition of bodily injury is deleted and replaced by the following:
 Bodily injury means physical injury, sickness or disease sustained by a person, including death, humiliation, shock,
 mental anguish or mental injury sustained by that person at any time which results as a consequence of the physical
 injury, sickness or disease.
4. BROAD KNOWLEDGE OF OCCURRENCE/ NOTICE OF OCCURRENCE
 Under CONDITIONS, the condition entitled Duties in The Event of Occurrence, Offense, Claim or Suit is amended
 to add the following provisions:
 A. BROAD KNOWLEDGE OF OCCURRENCE
 The Named Insured must give the Insurer or the Insurers authorized representative notice of an occurrence,
 offense or claim only when the occurrence, offense or claim is known to a natural person Named Insured, to a
 partner, executive officer, manager or member of a Named Insured, or to an employee designated by any of the
 above to give such notice.
 B. NOTICE OF OCCURRENCE
 The Named Insureds rights under this Coverage Part will not be prejudiced if the Named Insured fails to give
 the Insurer notice of an occurrence, offense or claim and that failure is solely due to the Named Insureds
 reasonable belief that the bodily injury or property damage is not covered under this Coverage Part. However,
 the Named Insured shall give written notice of such occurrence, offense or claim to the Insurer as soon as the
 Named Insured is aware that this insurance may apply to such occurrence, offense or claim.
5. BROAD NAMED INSURED
 WHO IS AN INSURED is amended to delete its Paragraph 3. in its entirety and replace it with the following:
 3.  Pursuant to the limitations described in Paragraph 4. below, any organization in which a Named Insured has
 management control:
 a. on the effective date of this Coverage Part; or
 b. by reason of a Named Insured creating or acquiring the organization during the policy period,
 qualifies as a Named Insured, provided that there is no other similar liability insurance, whether primary,
 contributory, excess, contingent or otherwise, which provides coverage to such organization, or which would have
 provided coverage but for the exhaustion of its limit, and without regard to whether its coverage is broader or
 narrower than that provided by this insurance.
 But this BROAD NAMED INSURED provision does not apply to:
 (a) any partnership or joint venture; or
 (b) any organization for which coverage is excluded by another endorsement attached to this Coverage Part.
 For the purpose of this provision, and of this endorsements JOINT VENTURES / PARTNERSHIP / LIMITED
 LIABILITY COMPANIES provision, management control means:
 A. owning interests representing more than 50% of the voting, appointment or designation power for the
 selection of a majority of the Board of Directors of a corporation, or the members of the management board of
 a limited liability company; or
 B. having the right, pursuant to a written trust agreement, to protect, control the use of, encumber or transfer or
 sell property held by a trust.

MEMORANDUM

TO: License Committee/City Council

FROM: Corey Mims P.E. Senior Public Works Engineer

DATE: March 18th, 2026 – License Committee

RE: 417 Saint Paul Street - Encumbrance Application


Request
The Licensee Roderick R. Boutin has requested an encumbrance permit with the City of
Burlington to ensure continued marketability of 417 Saint Paul Street.
Overview
Like several other properties along the same street, approximately 60 sq. ft. of the residence at
417 Saint Paul Street encroaches into the City's right of way. The property owner seeks to sell
the home and to make the property marketable and has applied for a license agreement. The
proposed agreement provides the property owner fairly durable rights without giving up the City's
right of way. The agreement is for a 30 year perpetually renewable term, but the license would
terminate if the owner's current use is abandoned.

Fee

There will be an annual fee (including administrative fee), of $100.00 for this encumbrance. A
payment in the amount of $1,538 is being applied to this 30-year License Agreement. This upfront
payment amount was determined with the present value of the future license and renewal fee
payments while assuming a five percent (5%) rate of return. Future renewals will be based on
current encumbrance rates and fees at that time of renewal.

Schedule

The property owner requests the continued use of the ROW for a portion of the existing residence
on 417 Saint Paul Street. This encumbrance will commence upon execution of a License
Agreement and will terminate on April 30, 2056. The License Agreement can be renewed for one
additional 30-year term.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of DPW to support the use and marketability of this permanent
structure under the terms of a License Agreement, in substantially the same form as the
attached, between the City of Burlington and Roderick R. Boutin.


Thank you for consideration of this request, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at
CMims@burlingtonvt.gov or 802-922-5001.

 LICENSE AGREEMENT

This License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered on _______, 2026 (the “Effective Date”)
between the City of Burlington, a Vermont municipal corporation (the “Licensor”), and Roderick
R. Boutin as trustee of the Roderick R. Boutin Revocable Trust u/t/a, effective June 8, 2023
(“Licensee”), with respect to the following facts:

 A. Licensee is the freeholder of an enhanced life estate in certain real property (the “Property”)
 located at 417 Saint Paul Street in the City of Burlington, Vermont, having a local parcel
 identification number of 053-3-053-000, and a School Property Account Number of 114-
 035-18419, and being more particularly described in that certain Enhanced Life Estate
 Deed from Roderick R. Boutin, a single person, to Licensee, dated June 9, 2023, and
 recorded in the Land Records of the City of Burlington at volume 1712, page 186.

 B. Presently, a residential structure is located on the Property (the “Residence”). As shown
 on a survey recorded in the Land Records of the City of Burlington at Map Slide 423D, a
 portion of the Residence encroaches Licensor’s right of way (the “ROW”).

 C. To ensure the continued marketability of the Property, Licensee desires to obtain from
 Licensor an exclusive license to that portion of the ROW upon which the Residence
 encroaches (the “License”), and Licensor desires to grant such license on terms and
 conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as
follows:

1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are incorporated herein by this
 reference.

2. Grant of License. The City hereby grants the License to Licensor. The License shall run
 with title to the Property and shall bind, and inure to the benefit of, Licensee and the
 successors and assigns thereof. The License shall be an exclusive license coupled with an
 interest but shall not be deemed to constitute an easement or other estate of any kind or nature
 in the ROW.

3. Licensee Obligations. In consideration of the License:

 a. Licensee shall pay an annual license fee with the execution of this Agreement of One
 Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($100.00) to compensate Licensor for its administrative
 costs in connection with this Agreement. Thereafter, the same fee shall be paid to
 Licensor’s Department of Public Works Customer Service following receipt of an
 invoice from Licensor, on or before April 30th of each subsequent year. Licensor shall
 invoice Licensee each year for the annual license fee at least thirty (30) days before it is
 due. An additional renewal fee of Twenty-five Dollars and No Cents ($25.00) shall be
 due with the annual license fee on the first year of each renewed 30-year license term.




 Page 53 of 57
 Licensor has determined that the present value of future license and renewal fee
 payments, assuming a five percent (5%) rate of return, is One Thousand Five Hundred
 Thirty-eight Dollars and No Cents ($1,538.00). If Licensee elects to pay this amount
 with the execution of this Agreement, then Licensor shall waive any right to collect future
 license fees.

 Licensee __ elects __ does not elect to pay the license fee in advance.

 b. Licensee shall maintain the Residence and surrounding property at Licensee’s own
 expense in good condition, so as not to create a hazard to public safety.

 c. In case of any work in the ROW in connection with the Residence, Licensee shall take
 all such reasonable efforts as may be necessary or convenient to avoid damage to the
 ROW, including to any utilities located therein, to obtain and comply with all necessary
 governmental permits for the work and all federal, state, and local laws applicable
 thereto, to perform the work in a good and workmanlike manner, to take all reasonable
 measures to protect public health or safety, and to restore any material damage to the
 ROW caused by such work as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the work.

 d. Licensee shall not impair the public’s use or enjoyment of the ROW, and shall not cause
 or allow the release of any hazardous substance thereupon or thereunder. In case of any
 such release, Licensee shall remediate the environmental damage caused thereby.

 e. If Licensee fails to do anything required of Licensee upon the ROW under this section,
 then Licensor shall have the right to perform the work and to seek recovery for the
 reasonable costs thereof, which shall be a lien upon the Property until paid. Except in
 case of emergency, Licensor shall provide at least thirty (30) days’ notice prior to
 performing such work.

4. Term & Termination.

 a. This Agreement shall remain in force for thirty (30) years from the Effective Date and
 shall automatically renew for successive thirty (30) year terms thereafter unless, at least
 sixty (60) days prior to the end of the original or any extension term, either party provides
 the other party written notice of nonrenewal.

 b. This Agreement shall terminate for any of the following reasons, upon written notice of
 termination given to Licensee by Licensor and recorded in the Land Records:

 i. Upon the demolition of the Residence, or, at a minimum, of the entire portion of
 the Residence located in the ROW.

 ii. Upon abandonment of the use of the Residence. If it appears to Licensor that such
 use has been abandoned, Licensor shall attempt to confirm the abandonment in
 writing with Licensee. If Licensee confirms in writing that the use has been
 abandoned, or if Licensee fails to respond within thirty (30) days, then the use shall
 be deemed abandoned, whereupon this Agreement may be terminated.




 Page 54 of 57
 iii. If terminated at Licensee’s request for any reason.

 iv. In case of any uncured material breach of this Agreement by Licensee, following
 at least thirty (30) days’ notice and opportunity to cure. Licensor shall grant
 reasonable extensions of the cure period absent an emergency and provided that
 Licensee is acting diligently and in good faith to effectuate a cure.

 c. Following termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall, at its own expense, commence
 removal of the Residence from the ROW within six (6) months, unless Licensor agrees
 to a longer period, and except in case of emergency, in which case Licensee shall
 commence removal as soon as reasonably practicable. Licensee shall, thereafter, act
 diligently to complete the removal. If Licensee fails or delays unreasonably in carrying
 out its obligations under this subsection, then Licensor shall have the right to exercise
 substantially the same remedy as outlined in Section 3(e) of this Agreement.

5. Indemnification & Insurance. Licensee shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Licensor
 and its officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims, damages, liabilities, liens,
 causes of action, penalties, fines, and costs (including attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively,
 “Claims”) of every kind and nature arising from or relating to Licensee’s use and occupation
 of the ROW, excepting any Claims arising from Licensor’s own active negligence or willful
 misconduct. The foregoing obligations for indemnification and defense shall survive
 termination hereof. Licensee shall insure the Residence under an all-risks policy of insurance
 with liability protection in the minimum amount of $500,000 per occurrence, $1,000,000 in
 aggregate. Said policy shall be endorsed to name Licensor as an additional insured on a
 primary, non-contributory basis and to waive subrogation against Licensor. At the time of
 execution of this Agreement and annually thereafter, Licensee shall provide proof of
 coverage on a form reasonably acceptable to Licensor. Failure to maintain required
 coverages in effect shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

6. Litigation.

 a. Dispute Resolution. Neither party shall file any litigation arising from this Agreement
 without first attempting in good faith to resolve the parties’ dispute through negotiated
 settlement or mediation; provided, however, that any applicable statute of limitations
 shall toll during any period in which the parties are actively and mutually engaged in
 dispute resolution; and provided further that nothing herein shall prevent either party
 from seeking emergency relief in appropriate circumstances from a court of competent
 jurisdiction.

 b. Attorneys’ Fees & Venue. In case of any litigation arising from this Agreement, the
 prevailing party shall be entitled to an award of fees and costs. Venue for any dispute
 arising from this Agreement shall be proper in Chittenden County, Vermont,
 notwithstanding any law to the contrary.

7. Interpretation.

 a. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive Licensor’s land use or other regulatory authority
 with respect to Licensee or the Property. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing herein




 Page 55 of 57
 shall be deemed to alter the effect of Sections 210 and 211 of the Burlington City Charter
 as relates to the Property.

 b. This Agreement shall not be construed against its drafter, but instead any ambiguity shall
 be construed liberally in furtherance of its objects and purposes.

 c. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
 subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings relating to
 the same, whether written, oral, or implied.

 d. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
 invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in force to the
 extent necessary to effectuate the original intent of the parties as closely as possible.

 e. This Agreement shall be construed according to Vermont law, notwithstanding conflicts
 of law principles.

 f. There are no third-party intended beneficiaries of this Agreement.

8. Miscellaneous Provisions

 a. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing duly authorized and executed
 by both parties. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except in writing,
 notwithstanding the passage of time, and no waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver
 of the same or another provision. Except that this Agreement shall run with the land, this
 Agreement may not be assigned without the written consent of the other party.

 b. The parties are independent contractors, and neither party is the agent or principal of the
 other. By entering this Agreement, neither party intends to form a partnership, joint
 venture, or similar enterprise.

 c. Neither party shall be responsible for any circumstance beyond its reasonable control,
 provided that a party whose performance is hindered by a force majeure event shall give
 the other party prompt written notice of the circumstances in reasonable detail. In no
 case shall such notice be given more than ten (10) days after the party required to give
 notice knows or reasonably ought to know the circumstances giving rise to the delay or
 failure of performance.

 d. Any notice required under this Agreement shall be given to Licensor at City Hall and to
 Licensee at the Property, unless another address is given by notice. In case of personal
 delivery, notice shall be deemed given upon receipt. In case of notice by U.S. mail, notice
 shall be deemed given three (3) days after deposit in the mail. In case of notice by
 overnight courier, notice shall be deemed given the day after deposit with a reputable
 courier. In case of notice by electronic means, notice shall be deemed given upon written
 acknowledgment of receipt.

 respective parties and shall produce evidence of such authority prior to execution by the other
 party. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
 original. This Agreement may be executed electronically, and an electronic copy or other
 facsimile shall be treated as an original.
