Re: Findings of fact, design review application #DR-02-17 of South Burlington Realty
Co. seeking design review approval of exterior elevation and window alterations to the
west, north, and south side of a structure, 40 San Remo Drive.
On the 5 h of November 2002, the South Burlington Development Review Board
approved the request of South Burlington Realty Co. seeking design review approval
under Section 24 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the following
findings:
1) This project consists of elevation alterations to the north, south, and west
elevations on the existing metal skin building. The changes include: 1) addition
of one window on the northern elevation, 2) addition of one window on the
western elevations, 3) replacement of a window on the southern elevation, and 4)
painting the structures southern and western elevations beige.
2) The owner of record is South Burlington Realty Co.
3) Non- complying structure: The applicant is requesting design review for a non-
complying structure in the Central District 2. The applicant may propose
alterations to the fagade and finishes, Section 26.002 (c) of the zoning regulations.
4) Consistent design: The applicant proposes minor alterations to a non -complying
structure. These alterations include the addition of two windows, one on the west
and one on the north side of the building, and replacing a window on the south
side. The construction of all proposed windows is the same, but not the same as
existing windows on the building.
The applicant also proposes painting the visible public side elevations of the
building classic ivory, to match 50 San Remo Drive. This creates a corridor of
consistent buildings where currently there is no consistency between properties.
5) Windows and doors: The applicant proposed two (2) new windows, one on the
west and one on the north side of the building. The premier elevation of the
building does not have a rhythm of window openings.
Staff suggested the finish on the proposed windows be white, because the current
window finishes are white.
6) Materials: The applicant proposed no changes in siding materials.
7) Colors and textures: The applicant proposed to paint the south and west side of
the building same color as 50 San Remo Drive. Staff recommended painting the
northern side of the building as well. The proposed window trim is bronze. Staff
suggested proposed additional windows' trim be painted white to match existing
window trim.
8) Human scale design: Nothing proposed.
9) Screening: The dumpsters should be screened and so noted on the plan.
10) Lighting: The exterior non-downcasting and non -shielded fixture on the southern
elevation shall be removed or replaced with downcasting and shielded fixtures
approved by the Director of Planning and Zoning prior to installation.
11) Other: On the property there is an existing pad mounted air conditioning unit.
This should be shown on the site plan.
