CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
DECISION AND FINDING OF FACT
On the 25th day of September 1995 the South Burlington Zoning
Board of Adjustment heard testimony regarding a variance
application of Leo and Donna Beliveau, 78 Barrett Street.
Based upon the testimony provided at the above mentioned public
hearing and the documents submitted to the Zoning Board of
Adjustment which are contained within the "document file" for
this application, the Zoning Board finds, concludes, and decides
as follows:
Findings of Fact
1) The area in question is zoned R-4 District.
2) Section 26.40 provides that a minor portion of a dwelling
may be used for a home occupation which is customary in a
residential area.
3) The property in question is occupied as a single family
dwelling with a 161x 241 attached garage.
4) The proposed use (home bake shop) would occupy 192 square
feet of the garage area.
5) The Vermont Health Department classifies the proposed home
bake shop as small commercial and therefore is subject to
State permit.
Conclusion
1) Home occupations are not permitted within garage areas and
out buildings. Home occupations are permitted as a single
family use operating within a minor portion of the dwelling.
2) Converting a portion of the garage is required due to the
fact that the kitchen is to small to operate the bake shop
and expansion of the kitchen would be to costly.
3) There is no visible change to the outside of the structure.
4) Will not alter character of the area, this is not a retail
bakery. Minimum of three deliveries weekly.

5) Proposed home bakery has obtained State permit from the
Department of Labor and Industry and Vermont Health
Department.
6) No opposition from adjoining property owners.
Based upon the findings and conclusion set -forth above, the
