FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
STATE OF VERMONT
COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of fact, Final plat application #SD-02-14 of Summer Ice Joint Venture to
amend a previously approved 12 lot subdivision. The amendment consists of amending
previously approved berm at the south end of the property to avoid wetland impacts,
Hinesburg Road.
On the 16t' of April 2002, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved
the request of Summer Ice Joint Venture seeking final plat approval under Section 204 of
the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following findings:
1) This project consists of an amendment to a 12 lot subdivision. The amendment
consists of amending the location of a previously approved berm at the south end
of the property to avoid wetland impacts.
2) The owner of record is Summer Ice Joint Venture.
3) This project is located on Hinesburg Road within the Mixed Industrial
Commercial District. It is bounded by undeveloped land to the east, residential
development on the south and commercial development on the west and north.
4) The only issues affecting this application are landscape changes. The previous
approval included construction and landscaping of a berm to screen future
industrial and commercial development from the residential units to the south
(Ledge Knoll), construction of a 5 foot wide recreation path, and relocation and
naturalization of a drainage way through the southern portion of lot # 1, because of
a previously, illegally constructed drainage way, 30 July1996.
5) The current application is to relocate berms to avoid wetland impacts (the illegally
constructed drainage way is now considered a wetland) and no longer construct
the "natural" stream corridor because it was never a viable option per the Army
Corps of Engineers.
