building.
Site Plan Criteria:
4. Access/Circulation: Access is provided via a 26 foot ingress and egress curb cut on San Remo
Drive and by a 13 foot egress only curb cut on San Remo Drive. The site also provides access to
the adjacent development via a driveway on the southwest corner of the property. Circulation on
the site is adequate. No changes are proposed.

(maximum 90%). Setback requirements are met.

already well landscaped.
7. Sewer: No additional sewer allocation was requested.

designated handicapped). A total of 20 on -site spaces, including three handicapped spaces, and 12
on -street spaces are provided. The applicant requested a waiver of three parking spaces or an 8.6%
parking waiver. Staff recommended that this waiver be granted as there is the potential to share
parking with the office uses.
12. Streetscape: One of the conditions of the previous Development Review Board approval was
that the applicant would be expected to comply with the San Remo Drive Streetscape plan upon
its completion. The plans should be revised to reflect the draft San Remo Drive Streetscape plan
along the east property boundary.
13. Approval Expiration: One of the conditions of the previous Development Review Board

the project. The effective date of this previous approval was January 18, 2000.

Design Review Committee recommended approval of this application subject to the conditions
listed below:

remain in effect.

compliance with the design review criteria contained in Section 24 of the South Burlington
Zoning Ordinance. The Administrative Officer shall make the determination of whether or
not this application complies with all other requirements contained in the zoning ordinance.
C. The elevations should be revised to reflect the windows as built.

of a balanced and coordinated mixture of residential, commercial, public, and private uses adjacent to
Dorset Street".
The proposed use will not adversely affect:
