The amendment consists of: 1) constructing a paved loading area on the north side of the building and 2) construct a 430 SF addition by enclosing the covered walkway on the southeast corner of the building, 1205 Airport Parkway. Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Administrative Officer finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The applicant is seeking approval to amend a previously approved plan for a 27,100 SF building consisting of processing and storage use. The amendment consists of: (1) constructing a paved loading area on the north side of the building, and (2) constructing a 430 SF addition by enclosing the covered walkway on the southeast corner of the building, 1205 Airport Parkway. 2. The owner of record of the subject property is Hebron Group, LLC. 3. The subject property is located in the Mixed Industrial & Commercial Zoning District (IC). 4. A portion of the property is located within the Airport Approach Cones. 5. The application was received on March 23, 2022. 6. The plan submitted is titled, “1205 Airport Parkway South Burlington, VT Site Plan”, prepared by Lamoureux & Dickinson Consulting Engineers, Inc., dated 02/02/2022.

No Increase  Zoning Compliance # Pre-existing non-conformance SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Only the standards below are affected by this application. All other standards will continue to be met. Short-term bicycle Parking 7. Pursuant to Section 13.03(B) of the LDRs, the applicant must provide short-term bicycle parking spaces. It appears from the submitted application that there is no bicycle parking currently on the site. One short-term bicycle parking space is required per 20,000 SF of “Warehousing, contractor, and light industry” space, with a minimum of two spaces required. The processing and storage use at this site is considered “warehousing, contractor, and light industry.” For that use, one short-term bicycle parking space is required. For the 6,000 SF of indoor recreation and restaurant use, an additional one space per 5,000 SF is required but with a minimum of four. The Administrative Officer finds that the plans must be revised to include four total short- term bicycle spaces in the form and location acceptable per the Land Development Regulations. Dumpster Screening 8. Per Section 13.04(C)(3), refuse, recycling & compost collection shall be effectively screened. A dumpster location enclosed by a fence is shown on the plan. Snow Storage 9. Per Section 13.04(B)(7), “snow storage areas must be specified and located in an area that minimizes the potential for erosion and contaminated runoff into any adjacent or nearby surface water.” Snow Storage areas are not noted on the plan. The Administrative Officer finds that prior to issuance of the zoning permit, the plans shall be revised to show the snow storage area(s). Landscaping 10. Section 13.04, Table 13-4, the applicant is required to provide landscaping with a landscape budget amount of 3% of the total construction/improvement cost. Based on a project cost of $21,500, the applicant is required to provide $645 worth of additional landscaping. The Site Plan application includes 1 additional Honeylocust tree at a cost of $800. The Administrative Officer finds this requirement has been met. As the amount of landscaping is below $2,000, no performance bond or escrow is required. #SP-22-009 - 3 - Traffic 11. There is no proposed change in use and no proposed change in previously-approved trip generation. Airport Approach Cones 12. A portion of the property is within the Airport Approach Cones. However, the building addition is located outside the approach cones. The Administrative Officer finds this criterion is met.
