Re: Findings of Fact, application of Pat Ayer for use of 3,200
square feet within an existing 9760 square foot building for a
printing and copying business, 4 Berard Drive.
On the 15th of September, 1992 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Pat Ayer for site plan review
under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations
based on the following findings:
1. This proposal is for conversion of 3200 square feet of a 9,761
square foot building for printing and copying use. The remainder
of the building, 6561 square feet, will be used for auto repair.
2. This property located at 4 Berard Drive is within the IC
District. It is bounded on the east by Pizza -Putt restaurant, on
the north by undeveloped land (steep bank), on the south by Berard
Drive and on the west by Omega Electric warehouse.
3. Access/circulation: Access is via one (1) 20 foot curb cut on
Berard Drive. The auto repair business located in the rear of the
building is currently using an access on the adjacent Pizza -Putt
property without benefit of an access agreement.
Traffic circulation on the site is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 24.2% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 66.17% (maximum allowed is 70%).
Front yard coverage is 13.39% (maximum allowed is 30%).
The building does not meet the rear setback requirement, the
building is therefore a noncomplying structure. Proposed
improvements will not exceed 25% of the fair market value.
5. Parking: The proposed and existing uses on the property
require a total of 20 parking spaces, one (1) of which must be a
handicapped space The plan shows 20 spaces and no handicapped
spaces.
6. Landscaping: The landscaping requirement for this project is
$60 which will be met. Plantings will include Norway Maple and
rose bushes.
Site plan does not show all of the existing landscaping. Plan
submitted is confusing as it shows that two (2) large Norway Maple
trees are to be planted at the same location where two (2) large
1
d
parking lot and it is suggested that one (1) of the Norway Maples
be planted in its place.
7. Sewer: Sewer allocation is not necessary since the site has
on- site septic disposal.
8. Dumpster: The site currently has one (1) dumpster located at
the northeasterly corner of the site on the adjacent property to
the north which is not shown or screened.
9. Lighting: Existing and proposed exterior lighting details not
submitted.
