Re: Findings of Fact, application of CPA Partnership for
approval of a revised Final Plat for construction of an addition
consisting of 50 residential units to the existing 76 unit elder-
ly housing project known as Country Park Apartments, Hinesburg
Road.
On the 4th of December 1990, the South Burlington Planning Com-
mission approved the request of CPA Partnership for Site Plan
review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regula-
tions and for approval of a revised Final Plat under Section 204
of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the
following findings:
This project consists of constructing an addition containing 50
units to an existing 76 unit building. The two (2) buildings
will be joined by a community room. The sketch plan was reviewed
by the Planning Commission on September 18,1990.
Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for this
project is $22,973. The landscaping plan submitted is $3,257
short of the requirement. A substantial amount of mature,
natural vegetation exists in the western portion of the property.
Traffic: This property is within Traffic Overlay Zone 5 which
allows 356 peak hour trips. Traffic information provided by the
applicant indicates that the present P.M. peak is 22 trips and
with the addition it will be 36 trips.
The applicant will be required to contribute $2,316 toward the
Hinesburg Road/Kennedy Drive Improvement Fund based on the 14
additional peak trips.
Sewer: A sewer allocation of 9,000 gpd is required based on 40
one bedroom apartments and 10 two bedroom apartments.
Other: Fire Chief Goddette has reviewed these plans and does not
see a problem in proving emergency protection.
Height of Building: The proposed building will be 39 feet in
height, four (4) feet greater than allowed under Section 18.112
of the zoning regulations.
Other: The existing storm drain should be shortened and a new
catch basin installed. Also, the 8" water main serving the
Briarwood development should be relocated to the north side of
the new addition.
DECISION & CONDITIONS
Based upon the above findings of fact the South Burlington Plan-
ning Commission approves the revised Final Plat of CPA Partner-
ship for construction of an addition consisting of 50 residential
units to the existing 76 unit elderly housing project known as
Country Park Apartments as depicted on a 13 page set of Plans,
page one entitled, "Country Park Apartments Grading Plan, South
Burlington, Vermont." prepared by Civil Engineering Associates,
Inc., and dated July 1990, last revised 9/90, with the following
stipulations:

prior to permit. The Planning Commission grants a $3,257 credit
for the existing vegetation located in the western corner of the

Road/Kennedy Drive Improvement Fund based on the additional 14
peak hour trip ends to be generated by this development.
3. A sewer allocation of 9,000 gpd is granted. The applicant
shall pay the $2.50 per gallon fee prior to permit.

space. This approval is conditioned on a maximum 3-story build-
ing with pitched roof as shown in the plans.
5. The plans shall be revised prior to recording to show the
following:
