Planning Board approves conversion of former Burwink School at 180 Danville Corner Road into four apartments
Summary
The Planning Board voted 7-0 to approve Terodine Consultants’ application, on behalf of Timothy Millet, to convert the former Burwink School at 180 Danville Corner Road into a four-unit multifamily dwelling; staff recommended approval after the applicant agreed to a 1,500-gallon septic upgrade and to meet site-plan standards.
The Planning Board voted unanimously to approve a site plan and subdivision application to convert the former Burwink School at 180 Danville Corner Road into four one- and two-bedroom apartments.
Staff told the board that Terodine Consultants, representing applicant Timothy Millet, proposed interior renovations only to the two-story wood-frame building on an approximately eight-acre parcel. The property currently has 10 parking spaces, public water and an existing eight-bedroom septic system; a site evaluation determined an additional 1,500-gallon septic tank will be required to serve the new residential use.
"Terodine Consultants on behalf of Timothy Miller has submitted an application to convert the existing structure at 180 Danville Road into a 4-unit multif family dwelling," the staff presentation said, noting the site meets the district density requirements for multifamily uses.
Jim Corbin of Terodine Consultants said the work will be limited to interior renovations and that the project will not include exterior changes beyond necessary utility upgrades. "This is just a formality. However, we're still excited about this project," Corbin told the board.
One member of the public, Steven Beiel of Johnson Road, asked whether the parcel would be combined with adjoining property; the applicant said the recently purchased parcel was not part of the earlier 40-acre proposal and that the property under review was purchased more recently.
Riley Berseron moved to approve the application on the finding that it meets sections 60-1277 and 60-1359 and the applicable site-plan and subdivision standards; the motion was seconded by Ed Barer and carried 7-0.
Next steps: the developer will proceed with the interior conversion and the required septic upgrade. The board recorded the project as PI122-00005; staff indicated conditions of approval and any implementation steps would be handled through the planning office and building permitting process.
