#MS-08-02
The maximum height for all structures shall be no more than twenty-five feet above the
average pre -construction grade adjoining such structure.
The applicant has proposed a height of 25 feet maximum which is in compliance with
this criterion.
Pre -Existing Structures along Lake Champlain and within Queen City Park
This proposed expansion shall be reviewed under Section 12.01(D) of the SBLDR which
includes all lands within one hundred fifty feet horizontal distance of the high water
elevation of Lake Champlain. The expansion and reconstruction of pre-existing
structures on these lands may be approved by the DRB as a conditional use provided
the requirements of the underlying zoning district and the following standards are met:
a) The structure to be expanded or reconstructed was originally constructed on or
before April 24, 2000.
The existing structure meets this criterion.
b) The expanded or reconstructed structure does not extend any closer, measured
in terms of horizontal distance, to the applicable high water elevation or stream
centerline than the closest point of the existing structure.
The proposed expansion is no closer to the lake than the existing structure.
c) The total building footprint area of the expanded or reconstructed structure shall
not be more than fifty percent larger than the footprint of the structure lawfully
existing on April 24, 2000.
The proposed expansion meets this criterion: the expansion is 49.9% of the
existing structure.
d) An erosion control plan for construction is submitted by a licensed engineer
detailing controls that will be put in place during construction or expansion to
protect the associated surface water.
The applicant has submitted a sufficient and well -planned erosion control plan.
e) A landscaping plan showing plans to preserve maintain and supplement existing
trees and ground cover vegetation is submitted and the DRB finds that the
overall plan will provide a visual and vegetative buffer for the lake and/or stream.
The plan indicates that all trees will remain and meets this criterion.
