DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
8. There are no changes to coverages proposed with this application.
SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS
Only the standards below are affected by this application. All other standards will continue to be met.
Relationship of Proposed Structures to the Site
9. Pursuant to Section 14.06(B)(1) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from
structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, pedestrian
movement, and adequate parking areas.
The Administrative Officer finds the modified door and sidewalk does not detract from previously
approved compliance with this criterion.
Disposal of Wastes
10. Pursuant to Section 14.07C, all solid waste handling facilities must be accessible, secure, and
properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the
enclosure(s). The dumpster enclosure is fully enclosed by a chain link fence with green vinyl slats
and a swing gate, and will be further screened by seven (7) arborvitae. This criterion is met.
Landscaping and Screening Requirements
Pursuant to Section 13.06(A) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, landscaping and screening is
required for all uses subject to site plan and planned unit development review. The minimum landscape
requirement for this project is determined by Table 13-9 of the South Burlington Land Development
Regulations.
Miscellaneous approval #MS-21-01 establishes an overall landscaping plan for the airport which the
airport agreed to draw upon when required minimum landscaping cannot be provided on site. The total
cost of the building addition approved in #SP-21-018 is estimated at $13,286,271 by the applicant, requiring
$140,362.71 in landscaping. The applicant’s proposed modification reduces the previously approved
landscaping by $275, for a total of $106,610 in trees, shrubs, grasses and hardscape, as follows.
Trees and Shrubs $33,945
Grasses $14,095
Hardscape $58,570
The administrative officer finds the applicant must install an additional $275 in the areas approved in
#MS-21-01 concurrently with this application. Concurrent installation shall mean that a zoning permit
and certificate of occupancy for the off-site landscaping must be obtained prior to issuance of a
certificate of occupancy for this amended terminal expansion project.
