FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION

COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, design review application #DR-01-07 of Charles Deslauriers to
amend the final plat of a previously approved planned unit development consisting of a 184
unit congregate housing facility and a 104 unit extended stay hotel in two (2) buildings. The
amendment consists of leaving the vent stacks white, 415 Dorset Street
On the IOth of July 2001, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the
design review application of Charles Deslauriers, under Section 24.20 of the South
Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending the final plat of Charles Deslauriers for a previously
approved planned unit development consisting of a 184 unit congregate housing facility
and a 104 unit extended stay hotel in two (2) buildings. The amendment consists of
leaving the vent stacks white, 415 Dorset Street.
2. The owner of record is the Dorset Land Company.
3. The property located at 401 and 415 Dorset Street lies within the CD3 and R7
Districts. It is bounded on the east by Dorset Street, on the north by Aspen Drive, on
the south by a GMP substation, and on the west by the congregate housing portion of
the PUD.
4. Condition three of the December approval reads as follows: "All galvanized metal
and white roof vents or stack shall be painted so as to match the siding or roof prior to
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance." The applicant has requested
relief from this requirement for three white PVC vents on the main roof of the
addition, as these vents have proven too costly to paint. There is nothing further that
can be done to screen these vents that would not look more out of place than the
existing pipes. The pipes protrude less than a foot above the roof. The applicant has
already complied with the requirement to paint all metal roof vents and understands
that utilities should be incorporated into site design.
