5. Public Hearing: Revised Final Plat Application of John Larkin
for LTH Associates to amend an approved planned unit development
consisting of a 200 room hotel and restaurant, 1720 Shelburne
Road. The amendment consists of removing 32 parking spaces:
Mr. Rabideau said that when the ballroom was approved, they
agreed to monitor parking to see if more would have to be built.
They are using far less than what is already built and are asking
to remove the 32 spaces from the final plat.
Members raised no issues.

6. Site Plan application of John Larkin to expand an office
building by 1064 sq. ft. for a total of 10,064 sq. ft. and
converting 1615 sq. ft. of office space to a radio station,
408-410 Shelburne Rd:

tial basement in excess of the original approval. It was put in
to support the elevator and equipment. There is no leased space
in this basement area. There is also some pavement that was sup-
posed to be removed.
Lake Champlain Radio wants to rent space on the ground floor.
The applicant feels they will generate less in the way of impacts
than the prior tenant. The Zoning Board has approved the use and
the tower on the roof. It will be barely visible from the road.
Mr. Weith said that in 1986-7 they got approval for a 7,000 sq.
ft. office building. A year later they presented a plan to Kate
Perkins, who was filling in for Jane Bechtel during her maternity
leave, and Kate and Dick Ward approved a 2,000 sq. ft. addition
to the building administratively and also a new parking config-
uration. What was built was a 9,000 sq. ft. building with a
basement. Mr. Weith noted that parking and traffic are always
approved based on gross square footage. Mr. Rabideau said that
because of the fire code they can't even store anything in the
basement.
Mr. Weith also noted that front yard coverage which is supposed
to be 30% is 43%. They need to revise the plan not to exceed
that 43%.
Mrs. Maher asked why they should be granted a landscape credit
when what was put in was done for the earlier approval. Mr.
Rabideau said they didn't feel any more landscaping is needed.
Mr. Weith said this is not a credit. He agrees no more
landscaping is needed.
Mr. Austin moved the Commission_222rove the site _planalication
of John Larkin to expand an office building by 1y064 sq. ft. for_
a total of 10,064 sq. ft. and convert 1615 sq. ft. of office

Mrs. Maher seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
7. Public Hearing: Proposed amendment to Section 14.101 of the
South Burlington Zoning Regulations to add "educational
facilities" and "indoor recreation" as permitted uses in the
Central District 1 and Central District 2 sub -zones. The purpose
of the amendment is to include two additional uses which would
help promote and enhance the city's efforts to create a vibrant
City Center. The amendment would affect all lands which are
zoned CD1 and CD2:
Mr. Burgess noted that this question was raised at the recent
public hearing on the new Zoning Regulations and that the
Commission had thought it was a good idea.
Mrs. Maher moved to approve the amendment and forward it to the
City Council. Mr. Austin seconded. Motion passed unanimously.
As there was no further business to come before the Commission,
the meeting was adjourned at 10:20 pm.
