According to Table 13-1 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the
proposed project will require 142 parking spaces (2 parking spaces per dwelling unit plus 1
parking space for every 4 unit). A total of 114 parking spaces are shown on the plan; this is
a shortfall of 28 spaces, or 19.7%. The Board previously granted a parking waiver of 26
spaces, or 18.6%. The applicant has stated that, based on his previous experience in
residential leasing, this will still sufficiently provide for adequate parking. Furthermore,
there is room to expand the parking lots in the future if necessary.
The applicant has not provided new building elevations since there will be no changes to
the elevations.
