Re: Findings of Fact, application of Burlington International
Airport for a 5,100 square foot addition to an existing 8,220
square foot maintenance building (13,320 square feet total), Army
Guard Road.
On the 9th of July 1991, the South Burlington Planning Commission
approved the request of Burlington International Airport for site
plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of a 5,100 square foot expansion to the
maintenance/snow removal equipment building at the Burlington
International Airport. No increase in staff is proposed as a
result of this expansion.
2. This property is located in the Airport Industrial zone and is
bounded on the north by the Federal Express building, on the
south by a carpenter shop and undeveloped land on the west by the
end of a taxi -way.
3. Access: Access to the site is via the Air Guard Road. At
the end of this road is a large paved area with a complex of
buildings. The subject property is at the western most end of
the site. Access to the building is through this paved area and
will not significantly change as a result of this expansion. The
present access is acceptable.
4. Lighting: Nine (9) 250 watt and one (1) 50 watt lights are
proposed to be mounted on the outside of the addition.
5. Sewer: No additional sewer allocation is needed since there
will be no additional employees.
6. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for this
project is $12,500. The applicant is proposing $3,648 in new
landscaping. This is $8852 short of the requirement. Plantings
proposed include Black Spruce, Juniper and Rhododendron.
7. Parking: The maintenance building with the proposed addition
will require a total of 10 parking spaces and 15 spaces are being
provided. Stall dimensions meet minimum requirements.
