Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Administrative Officer finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT The applicant is seeking approval to amend a previously approved plan for a 17,400 sq. ft. mixed use building. The amendment consists of updating the site plan to reflect changes over time and expanding the dumpster enclosure and concrete pad, 12 Gregory Drive. 2. The owner of record of the subject property is GD Enterprises. 3. The subject property is located in the Mixed Industrial and Commercial Zoning District. 4. The application was received on August 27, 2018. 5. The umbrella approval which is being amended was originally approved on 2/11/2003. 6. The plan submitted is entitled "Green Tree Park Lot 11; 12 Gregory Drive; Development South Burlington, Vt", prepared by Trudell Consulting Engineers, Inc, dated 4/8/2008 and last revised 7/6/2018. Zoning District & Dimensional Requirements: 7. No changes to dimensional standards are being proposed. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: Only the standards below are affected by this application. All other standards will continue to be met. - 1 - #SP-18-46 Parking 8. The property contains a total of 45 spaces. The plan notes indicate 46 spaces, but this value is incorrect. The original umbrella approval included limitations such that no combination of uses may exceed the need for more than 48 spaces. The Administrative Officer finds that the current mix of uses requires 25 spaces and therefore the reduction in spaces to 45 is allowable. This approval changes the allowable maximum parking demand to 45. The current unit mix is tabulated below for the purpose of assuring the parking demand is lower than allowable. Table 1: Tenant List and associated current parking demand Unit # Tenant Use Area parking 1 Aero Parts Plus Distribution 1832 1 2 Surgicare Distribution 1832 1 3 Top Hat Warehouse 1980 1 4 & 5 Radio North Group Wholesale 3950 2 6 Benchmark Space Systems Research/Testing 1960 6 7 John Turner Consulting Research/Testing 1825 6 8 Paw Prints Press, Inc. Printing 3745 8 Totals 17,124 25 Traffic 9. The proposed changes do not increase traffic generation. Traffic generation is limited by the last umbrella approval. The maximum amount of traffic which the existing uses can generate is 12.88 vte's during the P.M. peak hour. Bicycle Parking 9. The property currently has one (1) bike rack which can accommodate two (2) bicycles. Section 13.14 (B) (1) (b) of the LDRs allows an existing bicycle rack to remain and count towards the minimum requirement if it is in compliance with this section. The existing bike rack meets these requirements if a bicycle can be positioned at each end of the rack, where it can be supported upright and attached at the frame and wheel. Therefore, it can remain to count as no more than two (2) spaces, which meets 100% the minimum requirement of two (2) bicycle parking spaces. The existing rack must be secured to the ground and must meet the appropriate clearances. nFricinN Based on the above Findings of Fact, the Administrative Officer herby approves site plan application #SP-18-46 of Jeff Nick, subject to the following conditions: 1.
