HomeMy WebLinkAboutSP-24-08 - Supplemental - 0870 Williston Road (30)1 Marla Keene From:Craig Lambert Sent:Thursday, February 29, 2024 8:15 AM To:Marla Keene Subject:RE: SP-24-08 870 Williston Road (Doubletree) - technical review Hi Marla, My only comment is that Tree Protection measures should be specified and shown on the plans for existing trees that are being retained. Also, it looks like they may be treating the Ash trees at the entrance and around the parking lot for Emerald Ash Borer, and it will be necessary to continue treatments for the life of the trees to provide adequate protection.

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 2 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.
