On the 9th of May, 1995, the South Burlington Planning Commission
approved the request of Dorset Land Company and Pines Housing, L.P.
for revised 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
commercial development consisting of 88,740 square feet of medical
and general office use and a 124 unit nursing/convalescent home,
421 Dorset Street. The amendment is to the 124 unit building and
consists of: 1) minor adjustments to the grading plan, 2)
increasing landscaping, and 3) modifying building footprints. The
sketch plan was reviewed on 4/4/95.
2. Building height: The Planning Commission, as part of the
7/12/94 approval, approved a maximum pitched roof building height
of 45 feet for the nursing/convalescent home. The ZBA on 3/13/95
granted the applicant a variance to allow a maximum height of-52
feet for this building.
3. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for this
project is $116,935. The revised landscaping plan provides for
more landscaping than originally approved. The 7/12/94 approval
included a $48,289 landscaping credit. The additional landscaping
