Home My WebLink AboutSP-24-08 - Supplemental - 0870 Williston Road (24)1 Marla Keene From:Terry Francis Sent:Thursday, February 22, 2024 9:27 AM To:Marla Keene Subject:RE: SP-24-08 870 Williston Road (Doubletree) - technical review Marla, A couple of other thoughts on the new hotel. From a IBC perspecƟve this is a separate building and would need a new 911 address. Our conversaƟons with Pizzagalli found that there are IBC separaƟon requirements and separate fire protecƟon systems required. There is an inconsistency in the submiƩals regarding the skybridge. ElevaƟons show the connecƟon at 3rd floor of the new bldg.. while floor plan layout indicates the connecƟon at the second level. Kind of a big difference as the apparatus can’t’ pass under the access lane if the second floor connecƟon from the new bldg. That is a non starter for FD if the second floor access from the new property is being proposed. Not sure what an IOD is, but access to the remaining elements of the master plan is criƟcal not only for emergency access, the UVM-MC parking area to the NE and construcƟon traffic as well. How is the annual Catamount Dr. shutdown going to be addressed?

While there are a few minor elements missing from the application, I believe it is ready for inter-departmental review. In terms of the roadway/driveway, we have gone around a bunch on which project should include the road. Ultimately, there are four projects that are being done by the same team on adjacent properties: Catamount Woods (phase 1 of master plan), the Rugby Field Housing (phase 2 of master plan), the hotel addition (this project), and the hotel parking garage (not yet submitted). Only the master plan involves subdivision of land, which is where roadway standards are housed in the LDR. In addition, no roadway improvements would be required for THIS hotel addition project. Therefore we’ve decided to keep the review of the roadway modifications as part of the master plan, albeit some of the road will be considered “off site improvements” for the purposes of that application. That all being said, we are asking for an IOD for the right of way on the Doubletree site as part of this application, so that the master plan does not involve dedication of off-property land. Project description: Site plan applicaƟon #SP-24-08 of AAM Burlington Hotel LLC to amend a previously approved plan for a 309 room hotel and conference center. The amendment consists of removing a wing on the west side of the building containing 58 rooms and adding a four-story wing containing 70 rooms on the south side of the building, 870 Williston Road. 2 Since this is an admin site plan, there is technically no deadline, but I am requesting you provide your comments by 3/1 Direct link to project folder: SP-24-08_Williston Rd #870_Doubletree_FBC Keep in mind you can always navigate to this folder from the Development Review sharepoint site.
