cooler addition, 401 Dorset Street. The Development Review Board held a public
hearing on January 18, 2005. Charles DesLauriers 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. The applicant is seeking final plat approval to amend a previously approved
planned unit development consisting of: 1) a 184 unit congregate housing facility
and 2) a 104 unit extended stay hotel in two (2) buildings. The amendment
consists of installing a 10' x 15' concrete pad for a walk-in cooler addition, 401
Dorset Street.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is Dorset Hotel Associates.
3. The subject property is located in the Central District 3 Zoning District.
4. The plans consist of a plan entitled, "Dorset Land Company Dorset Street South
Burlington, VT. Planting Plan", prepared by Trudell Consulting Engineers, Inc.,
dated 2/24/97, last revised on 2/28/00.
5. The Board does not have any problems with any of the proposed structures.
They are fairly minor additions that will be completely enclosed within the
courtyard of the subject building. This, they will not be visible to the public. The
addition of the proposed structures will increase the building coverage and
overall coverage on the property in terms of square footage, but not in terms of a
percentage. The building coverage will remain at 52% and the overall coverage
will remain at 72%.
6. The applicant is requesting a waiver from the minimum landscaping requirement
of $300, as outlined in Table 13-9 of the Land Development Regulations. The
applicant does not feel it is necessary to plant additional landscaping in the
courtyard, and the exterior of the existing building has extensive plantings. The
Board supports this landscape waiver.
