I can't find something that shows a difference. -Tom From: Marla Keene <mkeene@southburlingtonvt.gov> Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2023 9:22 AM To: Tom DiPietro <tdipietro@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Erica Quallen <equallen@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Marisa Rorabaugh <MRorabaugh@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Ed Spooner <espooner@southburlingtonvt.gov>; Terry Francis <tfrancis@southburlingtonvt.gov> Subject: SP-24-001 154 Davinci Drive - technical review Hi Team, We have received an after-the-fact site plan application to amend some aspects of the Beta site at Davinci Drive. The changes consist of three things: 1. They’ve removed three trees by the entrance at Williston Road that the Board specifically required them to retain, including a 30” and a 36” maple. Craig already provided feedback that the proposed replacements are OK from a tree health perspective, but we continue to be pretty cheezed at them about this. 2. They’ve decided they don’t want to plant trees between their manufacturing building and the existing hangar at 240 Valley Road. The excuses they’ve provided are pretty weak in my opinion, stating that the hangar is being taken over by the high school (unclear if it’s South Burlington or Burlington) for a technical program. Since there is more than 60-ft between the buildings, I don’t see why that precludes plantings, given that the width is 2 greater than some road rights-of-way. There are standards that pertain to transitions between buildings, buffering, and screening, that we will ask the Board to consider. 3. They have modified the driveway to 355 Valley Road. I’ve attached the “old” version to this email. The requested driveway changes have already been constructed, but I don’t have any concerns telling them they have to change it if the feedback from DPW or FD is that it is not acceptable as configured. This staff report will be published on 12/27. Please provide your comments by Friday 12/22 for incorporation into the report. Draft project description: Site Plan application #SP-24-002 of BETA Technologies, Inc. to amend a previously approved master plan consisting of a planned unit development of consisting of a 344,000 sf manufacturing and office building, a 37,800 sf office and retail building, a 15,600 commercial building, and a 85,000 sf flight instruction and airport use building on 40.43 acres. The amendment consists of after-the-fact approval to modify the approved landscaping adjacent to the manufacturing and office building, provide replacement for improperly removed vegetation along Williston Road, and modify the driveway configuration for the existing building at 355 Valley Road, 154 Davinci Drive.
