FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION

COUNTY CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Final plat application #SP-00-50 of John Larkin to amend a planned unit development
consisting of a 200 room hotel, a 60 room hotel, restaurant, and a three unit multi -family dwelling.
The amendment consists of adding a ground mounted HVAC unit, relocating a transformer, and
revising the landscaping, 1702 Shelburne Road.
On the 16" day of January, 2001, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the
final plat application of John Larkin under Section 204 of the Subdivision Regulations based on the
following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a planned unit development consisting of a 200 room hotel,
a 60 room hotel, restaurant, and a three (3) unit multi -family dwelling. The amendment consists
of adding a ground mounted HVAC unit, relocating a transformer, and revising the landscaping.
The Board was made aware that the applicant has already installed the HVAC unit and transformer
without approval or permits.
2. The owner of record is John Larkin, Inc.
3. Coverage/setbacks: Staff requested that the applicant submit the updated total coverage as the
HVAC pad and the transformer will increase the total coverage for the lot. The previously approved
overall coverage was 39% (70% maximum).
4. Landscaping_ The applicant proposed relocating five (5) Little Leaf Linden trees from the west
elevation of the building to the south elevation of the building in order to provide adequate area
for the trees to grow. The applicant proposed relocating three (3) Pin Oaks to allow for adequate
growing room. The quantities and value of the approved material will therefore not be altered.
5. The Development Review Board hired the consulting firm of Pearson & Associates, mechanical
and electrical engineers, to evaluate the proposal. Mr. Ed Pearson indicated that the chiller could
be placed at the north end of the building. A cost estimate provided by Mr. Pearson indicated that
it would cost $33,000 to $34,000 to relocate the chiller to this location.
6. The Department of Fish & Wildlife indicated in a letter dated 1/9/01 from Kristen Rose to Ed
Pearson that they are against placing the chiller at the north end of the building as it would
encroach into a buffer area and "may compromise the stability of the steep slope."
