Subject:RE: SP-24-08 870 Williston Road (Doubletree) - technical review
Hi Marla:
Just two small comments:
1. The colors on the elevations do not match those on the renderings. The exterior materials key (Sheet Z26),
presumably states the actual proposal. That’s fine with me. Only the south elevation ( Z21) labels which
materials are used in which locations. Recommend that the decision state clearly that the symbols used
on that plan sheet apply to the other plan sheets as well (Z22, Z23, Z24)
2. The landscape plan (LH-001) depicts an “Illuminated typology ribbon bench by landscape forms.” The
Landscape Details (LH-002) does not use the term “illuminated”. Please have the applicant elaborate on
what “illuminated” means in this context.
3. The landscape details shows a diƯerent type of bike rack, depicted as a “key” bike rack style. I’m
comfortable that it meets the criteria of 13.03B2c.

Hi folks,
2
I never received your comments on this application. I am planning to send out comments today. While the project
team has a lot of irons in the fire, I am trying to treat them fairly and keep our review of things moving along in the
order in which things were received. Please send me your comments ASAP.

Subject: SP-24-08 870 Williston Road (Doubletree) - technical review
Hi Team,
We have received a form based code site plan application for the Doubletree Hotel (related to but
technically a separate project from the UVM housing project behind the Doubletree). 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.
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.
Sincerely,
