Re: Survey of Deck and Ground Elevations
Dear Ms. Starr:
You requested that Heindel and Noyes conduct a survey of a newly constructed pressure -
treated deck on the shore of Lake Champlain, at 69 Bartlett Bay Road, to determine the location
of this deck with respect to ground elevations of 98.0 feet 102.5 feet. The US Army Corp of
Engineer (COE) has jurisdiction over any structures that overhang beyond the 98.0 foot contour
line, and the City of Burlington has jurisdiction over any structures that contact the ground below
the 102.5 foot contour line.
Following my survey work on the morning of July 23, 1998, 1 have drafted a sketch of the dock
(attached) which provides elevations of the deck and ground, and locations of blocks and posts
that support the deck.
Based on this survey, I have determined that no portion of the deck overhangs beyond the 98.0
contour line, so the COE has no apparent jurisdiction in this matter. However, the two 4" x 4"
pressure -treated posts which, along with a beam, provide support for the western side of the
deck, lie below the 102.5 foot contour line. A portion of the 16" square post supporting the
northeast corner of the deck may also contact the ground surface just below the 102.5-foot
contour line.
The 4" x 4" posts meet the ground at about elevation 100.5 feet. At this elevation, these posts
would only be inundated by lake water for a few months each spring. If deemed necessary, we
can more accurately predict the length of time the post bases are underwater by researching
lake level data.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Dear Michelle:
Thank you for your inquiry as to Corps of Engineers jurisdiction over activities
on Lake Champlain.
A Corps of Engineers permit is required for all work beyond ordinary high water
in or above navigable waters of the United States under Section 10 of the Rivers and
Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. 403). Lake Champlain is a navigable water of the United
States, and its' ordinary high water mark is at elevation 98.0', NOVD. Permits are
required under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act for those activities involving the
discharge of dredged or fill material, excavation, or mechanized landclearing in all waters
of the United States, including not only navigable waters of the United States but also
inland rivers, lakes, streams and wetlands. In inland waters Corps, jurisdiction under the
Clean Water Act extends landward to the ordinary high water mark or the landwardlimit
of any wetlands. ,
I hope this answers your questions. If you have any other questions, please call
me at 802 655-0334.

MEMORANDUM
To: Dick
From: Joe
Subject: Zoning Board Meeting - 7/13/98
Date: July 7, 1998
Chuck asked me to pass on to you a couple of concerns raised by the Council regarding the
Zoning Board's 7/13 meeting. The first concern is with the two (2) requests for variances in the
Bartlett Bay neighborhood. Apparently, they are concerned with the potential cumulative affects
of so many expansions within the CO District. The Council would like staff to put together a list
of all variances granted in that neighborhood over the last 5 or so years. I told Chuck that this
issue is on the Commission's back -burner for discussion and evaluation and that I would try to
move it up on their schedule.
The other concern was with Bret Kernoff's application for a teen center. They are concerned
about parking and the fact that the site is very constricted.

Re: Patricia F. Starr property- Bartlett Bay
Dear Mr. Ward:
REPLY TO
PO BOX 925
I am writing with regard to the Bartlett Bay property about which I spoke with
you on 4-17-85.
As I explained at the time, our client owns two parcels of land on Bartlett
Bay which are intersected by a right-of-way. I have enclosed a copy of the
deed to our client which more particularly describes these two parcels. At
present, the western parcel, which borders Lake Champlain, is the site of the
owners residence. The eastern parcel lies directly opposite the western
parcel, the right-of-way running between the two, and is the site of a small
structure with running water and town sewer. This structure is not a
residence.
As the structure on the eastern parcel is becoming run down, the owner would
like to tear it down and build a similar, but newer, non-residential
structure. If you continue to feel that such construction is not possible
under current zoning regulations, could you please cite to me the ordinance
which prohibits this. In addition, could you please suggest any alternate
steps our client might take in order to receive permission to rebuild.
Thank you for your time and consideration. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to call .

Re: Patricia Starr --Zoning matter
Thank you for taking the time to visit the Starr property and review the
situation there.
I believe it is Patricia's desire now to move the structure to the center of
the lot so that it will become a conforming single family dwelling. Before
doing so, however, we would like confirmation from the City as to the
following:
1. That she does not need to obtain a new building permit, or go through
any other permit or approval process before moving the structure and
continuing with construction.
2. That the variance granted by the City will become null and void, and
the restrictions as to the use of the property as set forth in said variance
will no longer apply to the relocated structure.
3. That the lot on the east side of the road is indeed deemed to be a
separate building lot, by the City and as such, Patricia will be free to sell,
convey or transfer her interest in that portion of the property line easterly
of the right of way, while retaining the property on the west side of the
right of way.
Obviously Patricia would like to proceed with construction as soon as possible
so that the building can be closed in before heavy snow arrives, and a prompt
response to the above inquiries will be greatly appreciated.
Th� you again for your time and attention in this matter.

Re: Starr property - Bartlett Bay
Dear M. O'Neill:
ZONING ADMINISTRATOR
658-7958
The strucutre in question appears to be a two room summer cottagiel
its use being questionable. Be advised that the area is zoned
Residential 1 District and most of the existing older lots are
non -conforming to the minimum dimensional requirements. The
use of the property is a permitted use (single-family dwelling)
under Section 7.101 of the City's zoning regulations. Customary
accessory uses such as garages, recreational facilities such as
tennis courts and swimming pools are also permitted. (Section
7.102.) Most all lots located along the private section of
Bartlett Bay Road have similar characteristics in that they have
houses on the lake side and accessory buildings on the opposite
side.
Your client could continue the use of the building in question,
however, total reconstruction may involve a variance. The
reason being that the existing location of the structure appears
to be non -conforming to the minimum dimensional requirements
(section 18.00 area, density, and dimensional requirements.)
We would require a site plan locating the structure on the
lot before any permits could be considered.
The alternative steps necessary should the structure be non-
conforming would be an appeal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Should you desire to pursue a variance please contact me.

COUNSEL
The observations contained in your letter to me of December 12, 1985 are
correct with one exception. Patricia will need to obtain a zoning permit
to relocate the structure under construction. She will not, however,
be obligated to obtain any approval from the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Very truly yours.

ZONGING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
-4-
September 9, 1985
Discussion followed as to whether to postpone the hearing and not
make a judgement tonight but take the testimony of those present
to speak against the appeal or whether they would prefer to' come
back on duly schedule date.
John Dinklage questioned whether this was fair to the appellant and
Mr. Blais agreed.
Motion was made that Jarvis be requested to rewarn. Mr. Ward said
he could rewarn it, but it was not fair to the appellant. If they
(the audience) would rather table it for a month then we should
table it.
Mr. Blais explained to the public that the Board had from time to
time postponed to a defineable date and if at that date the individual
does not show again, the appeal is again not hard. We then eliminate
it and ask for it to be rewarned. We have given the appellant two
opportunities to be heard within due process and they haven't done
that and in the second go -around we say it must be rewarned.
Mr. Blais asked for input from the public.
Mr. Jariff speaking for those opposed stated he appreciated the
Board's fairness to everyone, but when speaking of due process when
someone has a case at Court to be tried and does not show up, it is
not just a matter of postponing it. If there is a notice served and
the appellant had an excuse for not being there he could see your
reasoning for postponing it, but he felt that people have come here
tonight to speak on this issue and the appeal should be heard. He
felt the burden should be placed on Mr.Jarvis to bring the appeal
before the Board again.
Motion made by John Dinklage that the appeal of Merrill Jarvis be
tabled for two weeks to the next regular scheduled meeting at which
time, if the appellant is not present to present his case, the Board
agrees to dismiss the appeal.
Motion seconded by Donald Graf
Motion was amended that the appeal of Merrill Jarvis be the first
item on the agenda at the meeting of 23 September 1985 at 5:00 P.M.
and that Mr. Jarvis be advised that should he not attend or represent
himself for that appeal at that meeting, then the appeal will be
dismissed.
Amended motion seconded by Donald Graf. Unanimously accepted.
No. 4 - Appeal of Patricia F. Starr
4) Appeal of Patricia F. Starr seeking a variance from Section 19.00
Non -conforming uses and non -complying structures, request is for
permission to remodel an ex-isting guest house which is non -complying
ONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT SEPTEMBER 9, 1985

to minimum dimensional requirements located at 70 Bartlett Bay Road.
Mr. Ward said the area in question is zoned Residential-1. The
present structures are non -complying. The structure in question is
presently not being used for anything, it is in pretty bad shape and
is appraised for $1,101.00 by the City. The estimated cost of re-
pairs is from Patricia Starr and indicates it will be done by in-laws,
sons, etc., doing the work for $5,000 and appears to be a material
figure only. In Bartletts Bay each lot that is on the Lake side also
has a lot on the opposite side of the street. The building in question
is located on the easterly side of the street on a lot 75' x 1001
and for years has been used as a guest house which would be a permitted
use under our accessory uses. The reason for non -conforming deals
with the dimensional requirements. The minimum set -back in the R-1
District is 50 feet. The existing set -back of that structure is 40
feet. The minimum side yard requirement is 25 feet, existing to the
closest one is 9 feet. The proposal is to remodel the interior and
change the roof line so that it becomes an interior -lot and enclose
what is basically on open porch and convert it to a more livable
guest house for the occupant to occupy at her leisure later on in
life. Mr. Blais asked if there was any question of subdivision. Mr.
Ward said no. The main house is on the Lakeside and on the opposite
side is the cottage, and traditional with the lots along that road.
Mr. Dinklage asked if there was any change to the existing structure.
Mr. Ward said only to the extent where the porch is on columns and
will be enclosed.
Patricia Starr said this would be an improvement and not change the
current use of the property. She has a large family and her long
range plan would be to use the structure when she retires, and her
daughter will live on the property.
Mr. Dinklage asked if she would have any problems if we attached a
stipulation to the appeal that if approved it would not be available
for rental and would only be used by members of the immediate family.
Mrs. Starr said that it would be used only by members�of the family.
Mrs. Starr said currently they have drilled wells, and there is a
small bathroom in the structure but the plan calls for enlarging and
improving the bathroom and adding a kitchen.
General discussion about structure, foundation, loftsize requirements,
etc. followed. Mr. Ward said most of the houses were developed under
R-4 criteria and each lot has 2 parcels divided by Bartlett Bay which
is a private street and most of the houses are on the Lakeside. On
the easterly side are garages, pump houses, storage building.
Mr. Bruce Butterfield, a next door neighbor of Mrs. Starr, said he
had no objection. Another neighbor, Bishop Harvey Butterfield said
he was very happy about it and that the renovation would add value
to all the property. A gentlemen living in the neighborhood -generally
favored the appeal but expressed concern about 2 houses on 1 lot.
If the property was sold how would it be used?

Mrs. Starr said she had no plans to sell the property, but intended
to keep it in the family.
Donald Graf asked if the structure would be used by Mrs. Starr during
the summer months if her children moved to the main house. There
would be 2 domiciles on the property during the period of the year
you are up north. Mrs. Starr said she was considering living 3 months
in Florida and 9 months here, but presently did not know if she would
be living in the main house or the cottage.
John Dinklage made a motion that if approved, it be approved with the
stipulation that the 2 structures on the property would only be used
by members of the immediate family of Mrs. Starr and that neither of
the structures would be used as rental property. Seconded by Donald
Graf.
David Boehm made a motion that the structure be moved and should
conform with set -backs and that the kitchen be eliminated from the
guest house.
The motion denied for lack on second.
The original motion was approved. There was no one else speaking
for or against the appeal. The appeal was granted on a vote of 5 to
1.
No. 5 - Appeal of Bernard Couillard
5) Appeal of Bernard Couillard seeking a variance from Section 19.00
Non -conforming uses extension and Section 19.65 Multiple uses, request
is for permission to operate two additional automotive repair and
service businesses in conjunction with an existing aut*omotive sales
and service business, d.b.a. Bernie's Auto Sales, at 1150 Williston
Road.
The area in question is Commercial-1. The present use is mainly for
sales and service is non -conforming and the request for 2 more uses
makes it multiple -use. The uses as proposed are automotive orientated.
One is for repair of windshields d/b/a/ Windshield Doctor and present-
ly works out of a mobile unit located in Jeffersonville and the other
is automobile striping business which operates the same way. On the
plan you can see from the floor plan they would each� take one bay
at opposite ends of the building. Yipes Stripes (automobile striping)
on one side and Windshield Doctor on the other. There are 4 bays.
The 2 other bays would continue to be used for the existing used car
business.
Mr. Couillard said they were not changing the structure, and,they
see no reason why they shouldn't make full use of the existing
structure.
Fred Blais questioned how thty anticipated the increase in traffic
which will occur with the addition of 2 other businesses.

PRESENTATION PROCEEDURES
FOR
APPELLANTS TO THE SOUTH BURLINGTON ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
The Zoning Board Adjustment is a quasi- ' iudicial body empowered to
hear appeals to the Zoning regulations. These regulations have the force
anU-effect of law. It is the responsibility of you, the petitioner to
present your documented arguments as to why the Board should grant a
variance in- your case'. The Board has little discreti-onary power-a-nd each
of the following five criteria must be met before the Board can grant a
variance. Not one - three or four but all five of the following facts must
be found by the Board before a variance-c-a-n-Ee--granted. Please come
prepared to present all the facts necessary for the Board to make an
objective and intelligent decision. (Refer to Sec. 4468 of the Planning and
Development Act of 1969 for further clarification).
1. That there are unique physical circumstances or conditions,
including irregularity, narrowness, or shallowness of lot size or shape,
or exceptional topographical or other physical conditions peculiar to the
particular property, and that the unnecessary hardship is due to such
conditions, and not the circumstances or conditions generally created by
the provisions of the zoning regulations in the neighborhood or distriqt in
which the property is located;
-e'
4
2. That because of such physfiW circumstances or conditions, there
is no possibility that the property can be developed in strict conformity
with the provisions of the zoning regulations and that the authorization of
a variance is therefore necessary to enable the reasonable use of the
property;
3. That such unnecessary hardship has not been created by the
appellant;
4. That the variance, if authorized, will not alter the
essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property
is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use
or development of adjacent property, nor be detrimental to the public
welfare; and 6 tC e—,4c-t'
A;�
V'e—o k7e)
5. That the variance, Iff, authorized, will represent the minimum
variance that will afford relief and will represent the least
modification possible of the zoning regulations and of the plan.

Dear Mrs. Starr:
Confirming our conversation of this date regarding the renovations
of your quest house.
On September 9, 1985 you were granted permission to remodel the
guest house by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The roof line
of the structure was to change in order to allow for a sleeping
loft and the 8' x 221 porch located to the front of the house
was to be enclosed. October 2, 1985 this office issued permit
#10078 which allowed -those changes. (A copy of that permit
is included)
The work presently underway far exceeds that which was expressed
to the members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment, in what the
entire cottage is torn down and a full two story structure is
presently being constructed. The elevation sketch submitted
to the Board indicates the change in roof line to a peak of
approximately sixteen (16) feet and we issued your permit based
on that change.
We must advise you that you are in direct violation, in that the
structure you are building exceed that which we originally granted
permit #10078.
Should you wish to continue with the two story structure we will
require a new request to appeqr before the Zoning Board of
Adjustment, the next hearing being the second Monday of January
1986. All construction must cease until this matter is resolved.
I
The second option would be to remove the second story and build
according to the plan submitted to the Zoning Board, a copy of
the plan is enclosed.
