October 21, 2003 and amended on August 3, 2004. The Development Review Board
held a public hearing on December 6, 2005. Russ Barone represented the applicant.
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 to amend a previously approved planned unit
development consisting of an 8,904 sq. ft. building with 5,304 sq. ft. of medical
office use and 3,600 sq. ft. of general office use. The amendment consists of
converting 3600 sq. ft. of general office use to medical office use, 1050
Hinesburg Road.
2. The final plat approval for this project was granted on October 21, 2003 and
amended on August 3, 2004.

4. The subject property is located in the Industrial & Open Space (10) Zoning
District.
5. The plan submitted is entitled, "Avalanche Properties Hinesburg Road South
Burlington, VT", prepared by O'Leary -Burke Civil Associates, PLC, dated
4/14/03, last revised on 6/15/04.
Parking
The current uses require 39 parking spaces. The proposed uses require 45 parking
spaces. There are 37 spaces located on the site. On October 21, 2003, the
Development Review Board granted, as part as final plat approval, a seven (7) space or
18% parking waiver and amended on August 3, 2004 to 2 spaces or a 5.1 % waiver,
- 1 -
allowing the 37 parking spaces. Section 13.01(N)(2) of the Land Development
Regulations allows up to a 25% reduction of the required parking. The applicant is now
requesting a 7.4 space or 18% reduction, which is the same as the original request. The
Board approves the 7.4 or 18% parking space waiver.
Traffic
According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), the current uses generate
28.5 P.M. peak hour vehicle trip ends (vte's). The proposed uses generate 33.1 P.M.
peak hours, for a 4.6 vte increase.
At this time, the Board does not feel that the calculated P.M. peak hour vte's will require
any special traffic management strategies.
