RE: FBC Site Plan Amendment Application - 321 & 325 Dorset Street, South Burlington
Dear Marla,
Trudell Consulting Engineers (TCE) is submitting this application on behalf of Mitchwartz
Properties, LLC, for a minor amendment to an approved site plan #SP-18-30. The
proposed amendment includes changes to the location and size of an electrical
transformer/vault resulting in minor changes to the open space layout, parking space
layout, landscaping, lighting and the dumpster pad location.
Changes to landscaping have been made to screen the transformer, provide visual
connection of the open space community garden to the neighborhood and maximize
sunlight access to the garden beds. The same number of parking spaces are provided.
Additionally, landscaping has been shifted along the northern site boundary to
accommodate for parking lot shifts, the groundwater pump station and dumpster pad
changes. Two previously proposed maple trees have been replaced with Sargent
cherry trees which were selected to better accommodate the site features. The overall
cost of the proposed landscaping has been retained to meet the minimum
requirements. Additionally, the bench in the open space has been relocated and a
proposed picnic table has been added to enhance the use of the garden.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me
directly at (802) 879-6331 x 109 or by email,jenn.desautels@tcevt.com .
Sincerely,
Jennifer Desautels, P.E.
