The DRB's approval is subject to the 6 conditions listed on page 4 of the enclosed decision. Accordingly, you will need to revise your plans to show that the accessory apartment will not exceed 600 sq. ft. and indicate on the revised plans the total number of bedrooms currently in the house, as well as the total number of bedrooms after the establishment of the accessory apartment. If the apartment results in an increase in the number of bedrooms, you will need to call South Burlington Water Superintendent Jay Nadeau to determine whether your accessory apartment will require additional water allocation. In addition, if the apartment results in an increase in the number of bedrooms, you will need to submit an application to our office for increased sewer allocation. Once these issues are addressed you will then need to get a zoning permit from our office. Condition number 3 of the DRB's approval requires that the accessory apartment be reincorporated into the primary residence by removal of the kitchen if you no longer reside in the primary residence but remain the owner of the property. In other words, an accessory apartment can only be maintained on the property if the owner actually lives there. If you want to sell your home at some point, it would be up to the buyer to comply with this requirement. If you decide not to pursue the accessory apartment, the DRB's approval will simply expire on October 16, 2003. If you have any questions concerning this approval, please call me at the Planning and Zoning Office. Sincerely yours, Janet M.

The subject property contains approximately 0.17 acres falls within the Residential 4 (R4) District. COMMENTS Associate Planner Janet Hurley and Administrative Officer Raymond Belair, referred to herein as staff, have reviewed the Site Plan submitted on March 10, 2003, and have the following comments. Staff notes that the proposal must comply with both the Zoning Regulations and the proposed Land Development Regulations, ACCESSORY RESIDENTIAL UNITS Pursuant to Section 3.10(E)(1) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, in any district where a single family residence is a principal permitted use, an accessory residential unit within or attached to a primary single family residence may be permitted by the DRB in accordance with the conditional use criteria and the following additional criteria: (a) With the exception of lots in R1, R2, and SEQ Districts that are one-half (112) acre or greater in area, occupancy of the accessory residential unit is restricted to not more than two persons, one of whom is either (i) related by blood, marriage, or adoption to the owner of the primary single-family residence, or (ii) is disabled as defined in subdivision 252(2) of Title 18, or (iii) is at least 55 years of age. This criterion is equivalent to the criterion set forth in Section 26.751 of the Zoning Regulations. The applicant has proposed one resident for the accessory apartment, David Deschamps, who is a person with a disability. (b) On lots that are one-half (112) acre or greater in size in the R1, R2 and SEQ districts, occupancy of the accessory residential unit is restricted to not more than two persons and no additional restrictions shall apply. This criterion does not apply to the subject property. (c) Floor space of the accessory residential unit shall not exceed 600 square feet or 30% of the gross floor area of the original dwelling unit, whichever is less. 1. The accessory apartment must be decreased in size so that it does not exceed 600 sq. ft. This criterion is similar to that set forth in Section 26.752 of the Zoning Regulations, which stipulates that the accessory unit shall not exceed 30% of the original floor space or 400 sq. ft.. whichever is greater. The applicant has indicated that the total square footage of the house is 2,374. Thirty percent of this area is 712.2 sq. ft. Therefore, the maximum size of the accessory apartment shall be 600 sq. ft. The proposed accessory apartment is 652 sq. ft. This does not comply with the requirement of the proposed Land Development Regulations. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\vaudreuil\accessory srp doc (d) Maximum occupancy of the accessory residential unit shall be two persons. One person will occupy the accessory apartment. (e) The principal dwelling shall be owner -occupied. This is equivalent to the criterion set forth in Section 26.753 of the Zoning Regulations. The applicant is also the owner of the subject property and will reside in the principal dwelling unit. (t) No exterior alteration, other than the entranceways and other alterations required by the Vermont building code are made to the principal dwelling. Based on the plan submitted by the applicant, it appears that no exterior alterations will be made to the principal residence. (g) No exterior entrance or other alterations shall be made to the front of the original dwelling. Again, it appears that no exterior alteration will be made. (h) Public water and sewer shall be provided to all residences on the lot. 2. The applicant must submit an application for water allocation to the South Burlington Water Department and an application for sewer allocation to the Director of Planning and Zoning. The applicant must obtain water and wastewater allocation to service the accessory apartment. Accordingly, an application for water allocation must be submitted to the South Burlington Water Department and an application for sewer allocation must be submitted to the Director of Planning and Zoning. (i) No home occupation shall be conducted in an occupied accessory apartment. The City Attorney has advised staff that this stipulation is not allowed pursuant to V.S.A. 24 § 4406, which prohibits municipal regulations from infringing upon the right of any resident to use a minor portion of a dwelling for a home occupation. (l) One additional off-street parking space shall be provided on the same lot. The applicant has indicated that the driveway can accommodate 2 parked cars and the garage can accommodate a third vehicle. This complies with the parking requirement. (k) A zoning permit shall be required for each accessory apartment. Prior to constructing the accessory apartment, the applicant must obtain a zoning permit from the Administrative officer. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\vaudreuil\accessory srp doc The DRB must find that the proposed uses will not adversely affect the following: (a) The capacity of existing or planned municipal or educational facilities. Educational facilities will not be affected, as the accessory apartment will be occupied by only one adult individual. In addition, staff believes that the accessory apartment will not adversely affect other municipal services. (b) The essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor ability to develop adjacent property for appropriate uses. Staff believes that the proposal is in keeping with residential uses on surrounding properties and will not adversely affect the character of the area or the ability to develop adjacent properties. (c) Traffic on roads and highways in the vicinity. The addition of one adult resident will have negligible affects on traffic in the vicinity. (d) Bylaws in effect. The proposal is in keeping with regulations, provided the applicant obtains water and sewer allocation, and the apartment does not exceed 600 sq. ft.. (e) Utilization of renewable energy resources. The proposal will not affect renewable energy resources. (f) General public health and welfare Staff does not believe that the proposed accessory apartment will have an adverse affect on general public welfare. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Development Review Board approve this conditional use application, subject to the following conditions: This approval will allow one accessory residential unit within the primary residential structure at 78 Oakwood Drive. 2. This approval does not constitute approval for a permanent additional dwelling unit. If the owner no longer resides in the principal dwelling unit or the occupant(s) of the accessory unit no longer meet(s) the criteria set forth in Section 26.751 of the Zoning Regulations and Section 3.10(E)(1) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, the accessory apartment shall be reincorporated into the primary residence by removal of the kitchen. 3. The applicant shall obtain a zoning permit within six months of this decision.
