Planning board approves slate of routine site-plan resolutions
Summary
The Burlington Planning Board unanimously approved a series of routine site-plan resolutions on Nov. 5, 2025, granting revised approvals and required permits for accessory structures, decks and retained walls at several properties, subject to engineering comments and required variances.
The Burlington Planning Board on Nov. 5 approved a series of site-plan resolutions covering accessory structures, decks and yard improvements across the village.
The approvals included revised site-plan consent for an accessory structure and retaining-wall adjustments at 1 Shady Lane, legalization of a gazebo and existing shed at 69 Hudson Avenue contingent on a rear-yard variance, floodplain and wetlands permits and site-plan approval for work at 108 East Sunnyside Lane, and replacement decks and landscape steps at 92 Highland Avenue and 40 Hawks Close. Each resolution referenced engineering memoranda dated Nov. 3, 2025, and was adopted subject to compliance with the identified items.
At 1 Shady Lane, John Malone of Ferguson Malone Architecture said the revisions added a small retaining wall and a loose-laid stone wall to protect an old Japanese maple; he told the board the changes did not exceed allowable lot coverage. Maryanne read the board’s resolution noting that a variance from coverage would be required before final sign-off. The board voted in favor without questions.
Greg Ketapoli, the engineer for 108 East Sunnyside Lane, described revisions intended to bring the lot into compliance with coverage and floodplain rules and to remove a noncompliant metal shed. The board granted permits for the floodplain, freshwater wetlands and watercourse work and approved the site plan, subject to Han Engineering’s November 3 comments.
Architects Joseph Croco and Mark Fritz presented modest stair and deck reconstructions at 92 Highland Avenue and 40 Hawks Close. Both applicants addressed routine engineering and erosion-control notes; the board approved both resolutions after confirming no outstanding public comments.
The board recorded the approvals as motions, each seconded and carried with no recorded opposition. In several cases the approvals were conditional on receiving technical permits or variances and resolving minor plan-note items identified by village engineering.
