Re: Findings of Fact, application of Larkin-Milot Partnership to
amend an approved planned residential development consisting of 73
single family lots on 66.7 acres of land located on the east side
of Spear Street opposite Deerfield Drive. The amendment consists
of revising the landscape plan to include cedar trees and a four
(4) foot high wooden rail fence along the 50 foot wetland buffer
line behind lots #33-45, Spear Street.
On the 25th of October, 1994, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Larkin-Milot Partnership 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 the landscape plan for the 73
lot Nowland II PRD approved on 8/10/93. This amendment is to
comply with a condition of approval from the Vt Agency of Natural
Resources to construct a roadway through a Class Two wetland and
construct a bike path and stormwater pond in the 50 foot buffer
zone. This decision required the applicant to plant a line of
northern white cedar along the 50 foot wetland buffer zone on the
western side of the wetland adjacent to lots #33 - 45. In
addition, the applicant is required to install a four (4) foot high
wooden fence along the buffer zone adjacent to these lots on the
western side of the planted cedars.
2. Landscaping: This is the only aspect of the project that is
changing. The landscape bond should be increased to $133,779 for
street trees and common area trees.
