Re: Site plan application #SP-02-14 of Robert Shand to amend a previously approved site
plan for a 10,000 square foot warehouse building. The amendment is for minor
landscape and cite changes involving coverage, parking, dumpsters, and landscaping, 5
and 9 Ethan Allen Drive.
On the 19"' of March 2002, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved
the request of Robert Shand seeking site plan approval under Section 26.10 of the South
Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1) This project consists of amending a previously approved site plan for a 10,000
square foot warehouse building. The amendment is for minor landscape and site
changes involving the coverage, parking, dumpsters, and landscaping. This project
was last reviewed on 18 April 2000.
2) The owner of record is Robert Shand.
3) Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement based on the cost of
construction is $6,000. Supplied to staff at the last approval in April of 2000 was a
contractor's bid for a total of $6,148. The installed plant material does not reflect
what was proposed for this approval. The site plan with the current application does
not list the correct plant material, size, and number.
The city arborist has determined the species of the installed plant material. Based on
the arborists observations the applicant has spent the landscape requirement of
$6,000, but the site plan should be revised to include the correct number of each
species, common and scientific name, and size.
4) Coverage: Lot #2 building coverage is 9.7% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall
coverage is 18.6% (maximum allowed is 70%).
5) Parking: Required parking is six (6) spaces, 13 are shown. One accessible space is
provided. Currently there is no bike rack shown on the plan.. The plan should be
revised to show one on the site plan.
6) Dumpsters: Currently no screened dumpsters are shown on the plan. The plan
should be revised to show any screened dumpster locations.
