Re: Findings of Fact, application of Allenbrook Home for Youth,
Inc. for construction of a 1,044 square foot addition to a group
home on a 5.0 acre lot containing two ( 2 ) group homes, a single
family residence and two (2) accessory structures, 100 Allen Road.
On the 9th of November, 1993 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Allenbrook Home for Youth, Inc.
for site plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington
Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of constructing a 1044 square foot 2-
story addition to a group home. This group home consists of a
complex of buildings consisting of two (2) group residential homes,
a single family residence, a barn and an unused building. The
number of residents will not increase as a result of this addition.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment will hear the applicant's request
for a variance to expand a nonconforming use. This approval must
be obtained before the Planning Commission can proceed with site
plan review.
2. This property located at 100 Allen Road lies within the C2
District. It is bounded on the south by Allen Road, on the east by
a residence and undeveloped land, on the north by a community care
home and on the west by undeveloped land.
3. Access/circulation: Access is provided via two (2) existing
curb cuts on Allen Road. No changes proposed to the access.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 6.5% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 12.7% (maximum allowed is 70%).
Front yard coverage is 5.5% (maximum allowed is 30%).
5. The proposed addition will meet the side yard setback but the
building onto which the building will be added to lies within the
C.O. zone. This building is therefore a nonconforming use subject
to Section 19.003 of the zoning regulations.
6. The building located at the southeast corner of the site does
not meet the front yard setback from Allen Road. This structure is
a noncomplying structure subject to Section 19.002 of the zoning
regulations. No changes proposed to this structure.
7. Parking: No additional parking required.

8. Dumpster: The dumpster location is shown and it will be
screened.
9. Bartlett Brook Watershed: This site is located within the
Bartlett Brook watershed. The City Engineer is not recommending a
review of this project by Wagner, Heindel and Noyes since the
impact on the watershed will be insignificant.
