DESIGN REVIEW APPLICATION #DR-10-01
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Tyler Dawson, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking design review approval
for exterior modifications to a property within Design District 2 of the City Center Design
Review Overlay District. Pursuant to Section 11 of the South Burlington Land
Development Regulations, these changes shall be subject to design review by the
Design Review Committee (DRC) and the Development Review Board (DRB), 350
Dorset Street.
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on March 2, 2010. The applicant
was not present.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and
supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant is seeking design review approval for exterior modifications to a
property within Design District 2 of the City Center Design Review Overlay District.
Pursuant to Section 11 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, these
changes shall be subject to design review by the Design Review Committee (DRC) and
the Development Review Board (DRB), 350 Dorset Street.
2. The application was received on January 25, 2010.
3. The owner of record of the subject property is Dawson Dorset Street Properties, LLC.
4. The subject property is located in the Central District 3 Zoning District.
5. The plan submitted is entitled, "350 Dorset Street South Burlington Vermont, Dawson
Dorset Street Properties, LLC — owner 399 Barber Road St. George Vermont," prepared
by Meshael Dergan, Architect, dated 6/11/09.
The applicant is proposing to replace an existing standard -size door with small overhead
garage door, approximately 7 feet high and 4'6" wide. This door will be identical to
existing doors elsewhere on the building. The attached photo shows both the existing
door and a door similar to the proposed door side by side. The changes are fairly
insignificant. Furthermore, the side of the building on which the change is proposed is
not visible from the public right of way. A mature cedar hedge prevents any visibility from
Dorset Street. The main entrances to the buildings are on the opposite side of the
building.
