On the 14th of September, 1993 the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the request of Vermont National Bank/L&M Partnership for site plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations and revised final plat approval under Section 204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following findings. 1. This project consists of a 116 square foot net increase addition to an existing drive-in bank facility, a five (5) foot extension to the drive-in canopy to add an ATM lane and parking changes. The bank property is part of the L&M Park PUD which was last amended on 3/23/93 when the Planning Commission approved the subdivision of the project into two (2) lots. The Planning Commission reviewed the sketch plan on 7/13/93. 2. The bank property located at 1117 Shelburne Road lies within the C1 District. It is bounded on the north by an auto dealership, on the west by the site of a proposed retail building, on the south by McDonald's restaurant and on the east by Shelburne Road. 3. Access/circulation: Access is via a 24 foot curb cut on Shelburne Road for ingress only and an access drive on the west side for ingress and egress connecting the bank property to the L&M Park commercial development. Circulation is one-way around the bank building and is adequate. 4. Coverage/setbacks: The following coverage information pertains to the commercial portion of the L&M Park project. Building coverage is 65,416 square feet (maximum allowed is 125,453 square feet). Overall coverage is 253,874 square feet (maximum allowed is 292,723 square feet) . Front yard coverage for lot "C" and the bank lot combined is 13.7 % (maximum allowed is 30%). Setback requirements will be met. 1 5. Parking: No additional parking spaces provided and no additional parking spaces required. The number of parking spaces required for the commercial portion of the L&M Park project is based on a shared parking study which used a Saturday to determine peak parking demand. Since the bank is not open on Saturdays, it does not generate a parking demand. 6. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for this project, based on building cost, is $4742. The Planning Commission at sketch plan agreed to waive the landscaping requirement. The two (2) Honey Locust trees displaced by the revised parking layout were relocated to the vicinity of the retail building. 7. At the 7/13/93 meeting a question was raised as to why the landscaping in the vicinity of the bank and Fayette Road was not installed. Staff recommended a condition that requires the land- scaping around the bank, Larkin Terrace and along Fayette Road to be installed this fall. 8. Traffic: The original approval for L&M Park limited the P.M. peak hour trip generation to 623 additional vehicle trip ends (vte's) during the P.M. peak hour. The bank building was not included in this calculation at the time since it was not part of the project. The project as revised on 3/3/92 for the McDonald's restaurant will generate 566 vte's. The proposed bank expansion is estimated to generate an additional five (5) vte's for a total of 571 vet's or 8.3% less than originally permitted. 9. Sewer: No additional allocation needed. DECISION & CONDITIONS Based on the above Findings of Fact, the South Burlington Planning Commission approves the revised final plat application of Vermont National Bank/L&M Partnership for construction of a 116 net square foot addition to an existing drive -through bank facility, construction of a five (5) foot extension to the drive -through canopy, addition of an ATM drive -through lane, and parking changes, in conjunction with a planned commercial development consisting of 150 residential units, a 61 room hotel, 20,000 square foot movie theater (1,000 seats), 22,000 square feet of retail use, a 3,100 square foot fast-food restaurant with drive -through, and a bank with drive -through, as depicted on a two (2) page set of plans, page one entitled "L&M Park, Site & Utilities Plan", prepared by FitzPatrick-Llewellyn, Inc. and dated 6/90, last revised 7/19/93, with the following stipulations: 1. All previous approvals and stipulations which are not superseded by this approval shall remain in effect. 2. The Commission waives the minimum landscaping requirement of 2 $4742. It is the Commission's opinion that the proposed landscaping plan for the L&M Park project will be adequate and therefore additional landscaping is not necessary. 3. The applicant shall install landscaping which is proposed in the vicinity of the bank facility and in front of Larkin Terrace prior to November 1, 1993. 4. The revised final plat plans shall be recorded in the South Burlington Land Records within 90 days or this approval is null and void. The plans shall be signed by the Planning Commission Chair or Clerk prior to recording. The plans shall be recorded prior to issuance of a zoning/building permit for the bank improvements.
