Burlington So. Burlington, Vt. 05403 Dear Dick: I am requesting a permit to allow us to rent U-Haul trucks from Easy Self Storage, located at 46 Swift Street. We feel that this is a permitted use under the accessory use provision of the zoning codes. Not withstanding the fact that the mini -storage required a variance, the use of moving trucks is incidental and accessory to the conduction of the business. The fact that the rental forms are filled out at the business office will not affect the character of the present on going business. We will await your reply in the near future. Sincerely, September 17, 1990 Richard Ward Zoning Administrator City of So. Burlington, Vt. 05402 Dear Mr. Ward; re: Easy Self -Storage: During my discussion with you prior to application for the zoning permit relating to the rental of U-Haul Trucks, I was led to believe, whether misunderstood or unintentionally incorrect, that my application was neither unusual nor excessive. I relied on that counsel and that, in routine fashion, the Board would likely approve the application. As a result, to save the board time on an item expected to be non -controversial, I offered no detailed or compelling testimony in support of my application. I would like to have the opportunity to do so now: ARGUMENT 1). There are unique physical circumstances. My self -storage location essentially has fencing and a walls - within -a -wall configuration, already providing the ultimate in screening of the proposed use. Vehicles will be mostly blocked from public view by both the exterior fencing and the self -storage buildings themselves. No other type of retail commercial business has this degree of visual buffering already in place. 2). The proposed use represents a reasonable use of the property. Do-it-yourself househod moving trucks and trailers are considered necessary and essential consumer products. Most social scientists acknowledge the central role that the availability of such equipment has had on overall national and regional mobility rates. Over the past twenty years, an appropriate and socially useful relationship has developed between rental trucks and trailers, and self -storage operations. * Both products and operations are consistent with the objectives of South Burlington's C-1 zone. * It does not introduce a use or vehicle that is not already there on a regular, if not daily, basis. * It does not increase traffic more than an insignificant amount, usually less than 10% on weekdays, slightly more on weekends. * It does not introduce objectionable noise, dust, or odors. 3). A denial of this application would create a hardship in that I would be denied a reasonable accessory use of my property. I ask to be able to add this use as a fair and logical interpretation of the ACCESSORY USE definition in the South Burlington Zoning Regulations: "ACCESSORY - A use ... on the same lot, and of a nature customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use ..." The use proposed is subordinate to and, in fact, dependent upon the primary use, self -storage. The anticipated income from rental equipment is a fraction of that earned from the primary use. The use is offered as a convenience to my customers, and to prevent unnecessary traffic and travel time. Courts have long quoted from I. Rathkopf (3rd Ed.), The Law of Zoning and Planning, 23-10, to define the word "customarily" in a zoning use context: "No doubt the degree of use is a factor. The practice should be sufficient to justify the observation that (it) is not unique or rare. It should be sufficient to constitute a recognized mode of activity in the field, but it need not be the more prevalent one." Accessory use at a self -storage location is justified on the basis of historical use, economic necessity, similarity of use, and nhvsical suitability. a. Historically. This activity(the rental of trucks and trailers from the self -storage locations) has been going on in this country since the early 1970's. U-Haul itself, in fact, is the largest self -storage operator in the United States, with nearly 800 locations. There are an additional 1900 self -storage locations that rent do-it-yourself rental trucks from one of the four national brands. With 2,700 self -storage locations currently renting trucks, this activity certainly meets the definition of "customarily" incidental ... to the principal use ..." When customers came to ask about renting space at my location, they often ask where the nearest U-Haul dealer was. They are now tickled to find they can get everything they need for their move at one;place. b. Economically. The economics of unused land and labor enables a self -storage operator to add necessary and significant income to his location (thereby improving the productivity of the property) without increasing either capital (land) or labor costs. c. Similarity of Use. Rental trucks and trailers are vehicles most commonly used to bring items to and from self -storage units. Such vehicles are a common and accepted sight at self -storage locations. The rental activity does not change the nature of the business being conducted at the location visually. The addition of a few units being offered to rent is rarely recognized as anything different than the normal coming and going of these rental trucks by customers moving their personal belongings. d. Physical suitability. Self -storage operators provide customers with hard -surfaced locations with wide means of ingress and egress to their property -- an ideal situation for the rental of do-it-yourself trucks. 4). Variance would NOT alter the character fo the area, even though residential use abuts the property. First, U-Haul rental trucks are specifically designed, engineered, and manufactured for the do-it-yourself movement of personal household belongings by homeowners and apartment dwellers. Their presence at this facility could hardly alter the character of the area since they are the most common method of household moving, bring used by 5.25 million Americans each year. Another 5.0 million citizens will use the rental trucks of U-Haul's competitors, making rental trucks a common sight in any neighbor- hood. Second, having several small U-Haul dealers in a community reduces unnecessary traffic by offering a product within the immediate neighborhood, and saving people from having to drive longer distances to a dealer in another part of the county. Third, do-it-yourself household moving trucks are the same weight, width, length, and height as vehicles commonly found in residential neighborhoods. One-third of U-Haul's fleet is composed of a vehicle with a 4,400 pound empty weight -- not much more than a full-size American car and much less than commonly -seen tricked -out 4x4 pick-ups which can reach 8,000 lbs. One third of its fleet consists of7,000 pound empty weight econovans, again an accepted and common vehicle on residential streets. The last third of its fleet are trucks under 18,000 lbs. GVWR, no larger than Class A recreational vehicles which are commonly owned and found in residential neighborhoods. Given the above stated reasoning, we rentals should be allowed as an accessory city zoning codes, and that such rentals character of or the usage of the area as I look forward to your response. feel that U-Haul truck use as defined by the would not change the it now exists. Sincerer Albert L. St.Aman Operating Partner 14 �Z -4- >�a Mr. Barrett said all my equipment is parked in the back. Our work is out not there. We do maintenance on our equipment at night. Mr. Lane said his equipment is parked up against my property line right now. Mr. Graf said it has been explained to me that those vehicles are there anyway. There wouldn't be any more vehicles there and this would be a carport to keep the snow out. I look at that as an improvement on appearance so you don't see the equipment. I would think it would provide a sound barrier. I would think that would be an enhancement to the area. There was some discussion as to the location of the building, etc. Mrs. Bouchard said what if your business does continue to expand. Mr. Barrett said I'm lucky to keep going with the economy as it is going now. This is an improvement over what is there now. Mr. Randazzo asked what part of this projected building was started? Mr. Barrett said the back wall. Mr. Randazzo asked why was that started without a permit? Mr. Barrett said I didn't know - I thought we had our setback. Mr. Sheahan said you're still required to get a building permit. Mr. Barrett said I had a building permit. The office is mainly required to have a place to hold safety meetings. This would be the same size only upstairs. • Mr. Lane said the office building is non -complying and does not meet any of the criteria. It's going to be difficult for my tenant - raising another structure and adding more to a bad situation. I'm very opposed to any change in the front. There is no room and it doesn't fit in with the character of anything there. It would hurt my rental. Mr. Graf said we don't have much choice but to go as warned. Mr. Barrett said I can drop the front office. The back is more important to me. Mr. Graf moved that if Gary Barrett is willing to drop the front office from the appeal that we accept that and we move on the shed of the storage area in the back only. This was seconded by Mr. Randazzo and there were 3 yeas and 2 nays. Mr. Blais voted along with the yeas and called the question. The appeal was denied 5 - 1 with 1 abstention. No. 5 Consider the request of Albert St Amand for another appeal at Easy Self storage, Swift Street. Mr. Ward said Mr. St. Amand requests to be re -heard and you as the Board have to decide as to whether there is enough change in the appeal from what was denied in August. Mr. St. Amand said I didn't come prepared to discuss this tonight but the letter pretty much explains that this is an accessory use. 11 J -5- Mr. King asked Mr. Ward if he would consider this an accessory use and Mr. Ward replied I would not consider this an accessory use. Mr. Sheahan said I fail to see any new evidence. There was some discussion as to how to vote on this. Mr. Ward said this whole use is not allowed there. Mrs. Bouchard said I would like to make the motion that there evidence and therefore the re uest for a seconded b new hearin is no new y Mr. Sheahan and there were 5 be denied. This was yeas and 2 nays. The request for the appeal has been denied for rehearing - Mr. Kin g moved that we acce t the findin s of fact and the minutes of Se t 10, 1gg0 This was seconded b y Mrs. Bouchard and all voted aye. ember Mr. King moved for adiournment meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM. This was seconded by Mr. Sheahan and the lerk M E M 0 R A N D U M To: South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment From: Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative Officer Re: Self storage facilities Date: January 4, 1991 This office conducted a survey in the Greater Burlington Area. Six self storage locations were contacted. The question per- tained to the renting of truck, vans or trailers in conjunction with the storage facility - results were only one location in Essex rents trucks. The original approval granted to the Marek Brothers (use variance) never considered truck rental as part of the evidence submitted. I strongly believe that truck rental should not be considered as an accessory use.
