Re: Findings of Fact, application of University Mall Realty
Trust for change in circulation during peak traffic periods on
the University Mall property, 155 Dorset Street.
On the 19th of November, 1991 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of University Mall Realty Trust
for Revised Final Plat. approval under Section 204 of the South
Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following find-
ings:
1. This amendment is to revise the circulation pattern at the
south-east corner of Steinbach's. This change will involve
placing a gate at this location which when extended in an east -
west direction will prevent traffic from exiting directly onto
the northerly access drive. This gate will be used during peak
traffic periods.
2. Signage and temporary wheel stops will be used to inform and
direct the traffic in the desired direction. Some green space
will be lost and an existing tree will be relocated.
3. The proposal would increase overall lot coverage from 70% to
70.6% (maximum allowed is 70%).
4. The proposed revision would reduce congestion at the norther-
ly entrance and improve overall traffic circulation.
