Findings of Fact, application of Lark Inns, Inc. to amend a planned unit development consisting of
a 200 room hotel and restaurant, 1720 Shelburne Road. The amendment consists of adding an access
easement to the property to provide vehicular access to the adjoining property to the south.
On the 271h day of April, 1999, the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the request of
Lark Inns, Inc. 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 unit development consisting of
a 200 room hotel and restaurant. The amendment consists of 1) adding an access easement to the
plat to serve 1700 Shelburne Road, and 2) relocating the dumpster storage area.
2. The owner of record of this particular property is Lark Inns, Inc.
3. This property located at 1720 Shelburne Road lies within the C2 and C.O. Districts and the
Bartlett Brook Watershed Protection Overlay District. It is bounded on the north by a motel,
undeveloped property and a City park/natural area, on the east by multi -family units, on the south by
Harbor View Road, and on the west by Shelburne Road.
4. Access: Access is provided by a 34 foot curb cut on Shelburne and a 30 foot curb cut on Harbor
View Road. The proposal is to add an access easment which is approximately 34 feet wide by 270
feet long along the property's northerly boundary to provide access to the hotel on 1700 Shelburne
Road which has no curb cut on Shelburne Road. The approval of the easement was a requirement
for the issuance of a permit to construct the hotel at 1700 Shelburne Road.
5. Dumpsters: The access between this property and the 1700 Shelburne Road property resulted in
the displacement of the dumpster storage area. The new screened dumpster storage area is shown
on the plat.

Attorney and recorded in the land records prior to recording the final plat plan.
