Hi Marla,
I reviewed the updated application for the DoubleTree work and have the following comments:
1. Please provide an updated stormwater narrative reflecting the changes made since the previous iteration of this
design.
2. The drainage area plans provided still reflect the old design, which includes the infiltration chambers for the rooftop
runoff and the smaller footprint for gravel wetland 1. The HydroCAD also includes the infiltration chambers for
rooftop runoff, which I assume this area will flow to gravel wetland 1 now that it will be parking and not rooftop.
3. The provided drainage areas indicate that the new sidewalk to the west of the site is proposed to be captured and
conveyed to gravel wetland #1, however, based on the grading of the site, this impervious will flow toward the
treatment practice near the UVM rugby field. Please revise or provide information on the rugby field treatment
practice if this is intended to capture the new sidewalk.
4. Contractor should utilize straw wattles for erosion control as opposed to compost filter socks to prevent leaching of
phosphorus into site runoff.
Thanks,
Monika

Hi folks,
We received a relatively large revision to this application to reflect the removal of the UVM housing
project. Revisions I wanted to highlight for your review are as follows:
There are major stormwater revisions, but they have not updated the design of the stormwater system to
reflect the removed housing and parking garage, except to remove the rooftop infiltration system. They’ve
added some curbing to existing pavement to better direct flow.
o The storm pond by the rugby field is not included in this project
They’re proposing to replace the removed wing of the hotel with new parking
They have reconfigured the parking on the east side of the hotel to accommodate an expansion of the
storm pond.
They’ve submitted what they need to for rooftop solar at this stage, but indicated more design will be
needed to accommodate the HVAC system
GMT has indicated they are unwilling to relocate the bus stop to the west side of the intersection due to
functionality of getting the bus in and out of traffic
This is a form based code project, so there is no specific deadline for review, but please provide comments in the
next week or so and I will send them along when I have heard from everyone.
Old plans and materials are superseded in the project folder.

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 application #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
