PPL 462 SHELBURNE ROAD, LLC — 462 SHELBURNE ROAD
SITE PLAN APPLICATION #SP-14-44
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
PPL 462 Shelburne Road, LLC, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking to amend a previously
approved plan for a 31,280 sq. ft. general office building. The amendment consists of: 1) reducing the
size of the building to 30,881 sq. ft., and 2) converting 7,752 sq. ft. of general office use to medical office
use, 462 Shelburne Road.
The Development Review Board held public hearing on September 2, 2014. Bob Bouchard represented
the applicant.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and supporting
materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds,
concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. PPL 462 Shelburne Road, LLC, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking to amend a previously
approved plan for a 31,280 sq. ft. general office building. The amendment consists of: 1) reducing the
size of the building to 30,881 sq. ft., and 2) converting 7,752 sq. ft. of general office use to medical office
use, 462 Shelburne Road.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is PPL 462 Shelburne Road, LLC.
3. The application was received on August 12, 2014.
4. The subject property is located in the Commercial 1— Residential 15 Zoning District.
5. The plan submitted consists of a one (1) page plan entitled "Proposed Site Redevelopment 462
Shelburne Road South Burlington Vermont 05403" prepared by Civil Engineering Associates, Inc, dated
3/20/13 and last revised 1/19/14.
6. The Board previously approved the original project, #SD-13-19, on August 6, 2013.
Parking
In its approval of #SD-13-19, the Board found:
Based on 31,280 square feet of general office use, the proposed building will require 110 parking
spaces. 117 spaces are proposed: 45 spaces are provided on site and 72 are provided across the street in the
adjacent lot.
As noted in the current application, the applicant is proposing a reduced overall building size of 30,881 feet.
This change requires 109 parking spaces based upon overall general office use. However, the applicant is
also proposing to convert 7,752 sq. ft. of general office use to medical office use. This results in additional

#SP-14-44
required parking to a total of 120 spaces. The currently approved 117 parking spaces are 3 spaces (or 2.5%)
short of the 120 required.
Pursuant to 13.01, Off Street Parking and Loading, N. (2) Waivers, the Board finds that the proposed project
is adequately served by the proposed parking facilities and transit so it hereby grants a waiver of three (3)
spaces of off-street parking for a total of 117 spaces approved.
Traffic
In its approval of #SD-13-19, the Board found:
The proposed use (general office) is estimated to generate 47 pm peak hour trip ends. As the
existing motel (motel) and home (single family detached housing) is estimated to generate 20 pm peak hour
trip ends, this is an increase of 27 vehicle trip ends in the pm peak hour. The applicant shall pay traffic impact
fees based on this increase.
Based on the ITE Trip Generation Manual, the proposed project is now estimated to generate a total of
63.12 VTEs as follows: the 7,752 sq. ft. medical office use space will generate 27.67 VTEs while the
remaining general office use space will now generate 35.45 VTEs.
This now represents a total increase of 16.12 additional vehicle trip ends during the PM peak hour
beyond the 47 VTEs originally approved in 2013. In the 2013 finding, the applicant was already directed
to pay traffic impact fees based upon a 27 VTE increase beyond the 20 VTEs that the prior motel
generated.
The Board finds that the applicant shall pay additional traffic impact fees based upon an increase of
16.12 VTEs.
