The two story traditional home has been an A merican
favorite since the pilgrim days of old Cape Cod, and
for good reason --economy of space and practical design
are never out-of-date. The two story divides living and
sleeping areas easily and with maximum privacy. It
provides advantages in lower construction costs and in
heating and cooling efficiency. Flexibility of design and
size makes possible a two story style to please
almost anyone.

OM WILLIAM ROi37"ISTEIN
00. Dimensioranl
of �rilxiam Robenstein seeking a variance from Section 11,
rr.-,Are=tuts of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations. Request is for perr,ission
to construct a single family dwelling, containirg 1735 square feet to within fifty
(50) feet of the northerly side yard and fifty-seven (57) feet of the southerly
side yard, at 909 Dorset Street.
This at, eal was read aloud by the Chairman, Mr. Page stated the area is now zoned
Agricultural, minimum lot ten acres. This lot.was set off prior to the passage
of the approved subdivision regulation in 1969 and was a conforming lot under the
old ordinance, that Dick Ward had said it was conforming. Is considered to be a
part of the Southeast Quadrant. Y . Page presented a plot plan to the Board.
Mr. Martineau raised the question of the warning not having included the variance
from the ten acre minimum.
Mr. Fayette felt there was no need to get involved in the acreage question because
- _..
it is an existing lot. The lot is presently set off; itis not as though they
wee,- asking for a variance to set off a lot of less than ten acres.
Chairman Myette conmented that this is the first time tie Board has worked with
the new Zoning Ordinance and because there is some confusion he would defer to the
legal members of the Board.
Mr. SYlve3ter said he felt all Mr. Robenstein is asking is a variance on the side
line and that is all the Board can act upon._~
air-=n N4yette said he beilieved th.:^,t both the minimum ten -acre lot and the set- _
backs should have been warners, according to his interpretation.
Mr. Robenstein felt this was a valid lot with the only problem being able to con-
form to the set back and side yard requirements and still make use of the land
for whatever district and zone it is in. The lot was sqt off well before the
present ordinance; had been zoned all this period of time and appraised as such.
He is only asking for a relaxation of the side line requirements so he can rake
some use of the property.
Mr. Robenstein explained he is negotiating with Fred Blais regarding obtaining a
right of way from him which he could use as a driveway, thus eliminating the nerd
for a curb cut in the vicinity of the church. He said he had not arrroachei the
Church Board to find oat how they wcsld feel, but the people who own property
on the other side have no objection to the variance.
He repeated ttvat all he was asking is to use the property for the residential
purpose at which it is appraised in the tax book as Residential A. He also said
it had been approved with a curb cut independent of anything else, but he would
hope to not have a curb cut.
The Chairman said he was reluctant to allow a curb cut in that section, parti-
cularly on the hill.
Mr. I°yette then asked Mr. Blais about granting the, right of way, as eventually
it would be a right of way to the land which Nx. Blais's corporation owns.
Mr. Blais replied the land utilization of tzis acreage is not at all definitive
at present. Theyoriginally h.3d a private driveway of 45 feet and purchased an
additional 15 feet to wake it a leE�,-a1 ri..7ht of y; they also o:an about 1700 feet
of frontage on Swift Street. They would not be adverse to granting a right of
way to Mr. Robenstein but not until they have in writing a definite plan of what
he has to do, something from his legal counsel.
When asked by Mr. Myette if he thought they would use this right of way the^. -elves
within the next few years, Mr. Blass said it would be used as an egress. 'I':.v

{ r1ve► the frontage on Swift Street but more than one access might be desired for
the property.
"r. Elvis stated their land abuts Mr. Robenstein's lot to the rear and to the
south.
Mr. Gordon Haldeman announced he was a trustee of the church (Faith Methodist)
that he represented the Board of Trustees, and that they have no objection to
the granting of the variance.
_!i,,;9/i)
The Chairman t1mt first the Board could wake it a conditional approval based on
Nx. Skokeu's ruling as to whether or not the ten acre minimum should have been
warned. The second thing to considor is the granting of a curb cut with the
possibility of a street being put in ad„Aacent to his lot, putting in a stipula-
tion that this right of i<%y must be used.
Mr. Robe^.stein objected to this, saying he was not asking for a curb cut, and
asked if they were prohibiting a curb cut in case he and Mr. Blais could not
agree on a right of way,
Nx, Sylvester suggested that the Board consider a stipulation that the right of
way would rave to be used.
Mr. Robenstein objected again, that this would be an impossible condition if the
price of the rif-,ht of way was unreasonable.
Mr. Sylvester said the Board should be receptive to a change in the, stipulation
:If cir=11stance3 developed that mde the right of way impossible,.
Q Mr. Myette asked why Mr. Robenstein hadn't negotiated with Mr. Blais before asking
for the variance. Mr. Robenstein explained he had no idol what the Planning Com-
mission might do to Mr. Blais's proposal; also he wanted to see what the Board
might want as specific conditions that might be incorporated into the agreement.
Mr, Martineau felt that because they were only considering side line variances#
the curb cut, whether it was on the property or the right of ways would not be
a function of the Board to consider this question.
Mr. Sylvester said he felt that Mr. Robenstein has a non -conforming, approved
lot, and if it was non -conforming as to the ten acres, why should the side -line
requirements have to be complied with-- why with some requircments and not all of
them. Mr. Fobenstein has made some commitments and has planned a renidence.
He felt it was inconsistent and that perhaps a Table might be in order until
Dick Ward returns to explain.
Mr. Robenstein said it would be an extreme hardship to have any delay. The
reason the lot didn't come under the ten acre minimum was because it was a pre-
existing lot, but that the Board does have to have srme control over the place-
ment of the building on the lot which makes the request for variance necessare
Chairman Myette thought it should be cleared up by legal coansel. This section
of the City is extremely restricted by the ten -acre minimum and the Board could
be open to criticism. He said he was reluctant to proceed until he was on legal
ground.

L?. L OF WIL•LIAM ROBENSTEIN. (CONTINUED)
Teo members felt the Board could vote on just what was before them.
;mac Chairman suggested voting or. the warning, but with a stipulation that Mr.
Robenstein negotiate some agreement as to the right of way; also to vote pending
the approval of a legal opinion.
Yr. Robenstein offered to come back with an agreement and said he would appreci-
ate the Board voting with those conditions naffed.
Mr. Sylvester said he felt the side lines were all the Board could act upon.
He added that if he were the Chairman and concerned about whether or not the
proper procedure was being followed, he would opt for a Table until he had the
legal opinion..
Mr. Fayette suggested a compromise in that if there is undue hardship, the
legal opinion be rendered before the building permit is granted.
Mr. Reed felt the Board should vote on the appeal, but should get a legal
opinion.
Chairman Myette said the vote would be taken with the stipulations that: 1) if
the appeal is granted the legal opinion shall be -forthcoming from the City
Attorney specifically determining whether the ten acre minimum lot size and
the 200 feet frontage requirements in AR District should be Wnrned and duly
heard by the Board; and 2.) the granting of the variance is predicated on an
agreement for the use of a right of uay as access to the subject property to
be granted by CBC Realty and Development Corporation.
The issuance of a building permit shall be predicated on the City Attorney s
opinion that th-e-arbove--two stipula-tiGns. are ,not required to be heard by the
Zoning Board of Adjustment. J

The Board voted unanimously to approve the variance with the above stipulations.
APPEAL OF SHELL OIL CO.
Appeal of Shell Oil Co., Mr. H. Roerden seeking a variance from Section 13.001,
Non -conforming uses and structures of the South Burlington Relations. Request
is for permission to improve and reconstruct the interior of the existing
building, -(said alterations do not conform to subsection 2) at Pressey's Shell
Station, 1830 Shelburne Road.
This appeal was read aloud by the Chairman.
Mr. Page stated the area is zoned Planned Business Development with a minimum
lot size of two acres. Also, the alterations must not exceed 25% of the fair
market value of the property. The fair market value is $11,000 and the estimated
cost of the proposed alterations is $7,000, thus exceeding the 2;% limitation.
Mr. Chris Christensen said he was representing Shell Oil in place of Fr. Roerden
who was unable to attend. He explained how they plan to do whit is basically
:maintenance work, re -doing the rest rooms, putting up paneling in the sales area,
and building a storeroom inside. Mr. Pressey needs the storeroom in order to
control his inventory. Shell Oil leases the land and sub -leases both land and
building to Mr. Pressey; their property line ends with the back of the building.
They have no control over the unsightly appearance of the back yard as that is
leased by someone else from the Joly Estate. Shell has tried several times to
get the land but is (the Estate is) being contested back and forth in court.

RE: Driveway Permit
Dear Dick,
On my submittal plan before the So. Burlington Zoning Board
of Adjustment on April 15, 1974, a proposed access to my property
was shown using a 60 foot right-of-way. This right-of-way is part
of the C.B.C. property which borders my parcel. I felt that if a
permanent easement could be obtained over this private right-of-way,
that both the City and I would benefit from such an agreement.
However, I have been unable to obtain a permanent easement from
the C.B.C. Corporation and, therefore, it is necessary for me to
have access to my property directly from Dorset Street. I would
be more than willing to close my driveway on Dorset street and
gain access from the 60 foot right-of-way presently owned by C.B.C.
Corporation when it becomes a City right-of-way.
If C.B.C. is not required to have access to their land from
Dorset Street and would consider sale of the 60 x 250 foot right-
of-way, I would try to purchase it.
Attached is a revised copy of my plot plan showing the driveway
access point.
Sincerely,
'a

Dear Bill,
To clarify any possible misunderstanding regarding our mutual negotiations
for an easement for right of way on our property, please be adivsed
we have no objections to granting such an easement to you as long as the
property is considered a right of way.
Given the fact that no plans to date have been presented to the Planning
Commission by our Corporation under the current law, I can not poeitively
assure that the City will require this land to be used as a street. If in
fact your opinion is correct that perhaps the Planning Commission might
frown on a street in said right of way, I would not want to be in a position
to be unable to dispose of the piece of land because of a permanent
easement granted to you in perpatuity.
For the Nominal sum fo $10.00, an easement is available to you provided
said land rervee as a right of way or street now and in the futur.
Our Corporation has no objections to your variance and land use and wishes
to cooperate with you in a reasonable manner as a good neighbor.
If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to call.
