Re: Findings of Fact, application of Dorset Square Associates to amend a planned unit development
consisting of a 54,480 square foot shopping center (52,840 g.l.a.), 150 Dorset Street. The
amendment consists of revisions to the parking layout.
On the 24' day of November, 1998, the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the
request of Dorset Square Associates for revised final plat approval under Section 204 of the South
Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a planned unit development consisting of a 54,480 square foot
shopping center (52,840 g.l.a.). The amendment consists of revising the parking layout to reduce the
number of spaces by 11 spaces. The plan being revised was approved on 6/9/92 .
2. This property located at 150 Dorset Street lies within the C1 District. It is bounded on the north
by Market Street, on the east by a restaurant, on the north an auto dealership and a residence, and
on the west by Dorset Street.
3. Parking: A total of 265 spaces are required and 251 spaces are available which represents a 14
space or 5.3% shortfall. The reason for this request is that the parking plan approved on 6/9/98
showing 262 spaces was not implemented as approved. The lot was striped to provide 248 spaces
and it is proposed to add three (3) more spaces for a total of 251 spaces. In addition, the gross
leasable area provided to staff for the last review was incorrect. The correct g.l.a. is 52,840 square
feet. The revised g.l.a. reduces the requirement from 273 spaces to 265 spaces. The 6/9/98 approval
included an l l space or 4% waiver. The current request is for a 14 space or 5.3% waiver. Staff did
not have a problem with granting the request.
