Re: Final Plat application #SD-02-49 of Acadia Realty Trust to amend a previously
approved planned unit development consisting of 100,784 square foot shopping center in
two buildings. The amendment consists of increasing the size of the main building by 6470
square feet for a total of 107,254 square feet for both buildings, 516 Shelburne Road.
On the 20th of August 2002, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved
the request of Acadia Realty Trust seeking final plat approval under Section 204 of the
South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following findings:
1) This project consists of amending a previously approved planned unit development
consisting of 100,784 square foot shopping center in two buildings. The amendment
consists of increasing the size of the main building by 6,470 square feet for a total of
107,254 square feet for both buildings.
2) The owner of record is Acadia Realty Trust.
3) This is a redevelopment of Mall 189 with a new Shaw's Supermarket. This property is
located at 516 Shelburne Road, and lies within the C 1 and CO Districts. It is bounded
on the north by a retail building (Ben Franklin) and Farrell Street, on the east by the
O'Dell Parkway project, on the south by the I-189 off ramp, and on the west by
Shelburne Road.
4) The only issues affecting this application are coverage and parking.
5) Coveraae: Building coverage is going up from the last approval, 23.7% to 24%
(maximum allowed is 30%). Overall coverage is reduced from 86.4% to 86%
(maximum allowed is 70%). Coverage along both Farrell Street and Shelburne Road
remain unchanged from the last approval, 75% and 36% respectively (maximum
allowed is 30%).
6) Parking: The parking requirement based on gross lease -able area is 536 spaces (107,254
gla/1000=107.254 x 5=536). The plan shows 486 parking spaces. This represents a 50
space or an 11 % shortfall. The applicant is requesting a waiver for the 11 % shortfall.
Staff has no issue with granting the requested waiver.
7) Bike racks need to be shown on the site plan. Staff suggests one for each building.
8) Height: At the last approval the applicant was granted a height waiver. The height of the
building was reduced and does not exceed the 35' height limitation; therefore the height
waiver is no longer needed.
