COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, site plan application of Allen Marcellino to amend a previously approved site
plan for an 8,481 square foot building used for a contracting business and motor vehicle repair. The
amendment consists of: 1) a 2,500 square foot addition for contracting business use, 2) converting
space used for a motor vehicle repair use to use by the contracting business, and 3) sheds totaling
1,630 square feet for the storage of salt, 20 Palmer Court.
On the 3rd of October 2000, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the site plan
application of Allen Marcellino under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations
based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a previously approved site plan for an 8,481 square foot building
used for a contracting business. The amendment consists of: 1) a 2,500 square foot addition for
contracting business use, and 2) converting space used for a motor vehicle repair use to use by the
contracting business, and 3) sheds totaling 1,630 square feet for the storage of salt, 20 Palmer Court.
2. The owner of record is Allen Marcellino.
3. This property is located at 20 Palmer Court and lies within the I-C District. It is bounded on the
south by an industrial/warehouse building and Palmer Court, on the west and north by an
industrial/warehouse building, and on the east by Muddy Brook.
4. Access/Circulation: Access is provided via a 25 foot curb cut. No changes are planned. Circulation
on the site is adequate.
5. Coverage/Setbacks: The building coverage will increase from 6.2% to 7% (30% max). The total
coverage will also increase from 23% to 40% (70%). The front yard coverage will remain
unchanged at 30% (30% max). All setbacks are being met.
6. Parking: The proposed uses will require ten (10) parking spaces and 15 are being provided,
including one handicapped space (one required). A bike rack is being provided.
7. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement, based on building costs, is $1,350. The
applicant has proposed $1,305 worth of landscaping for a $45 shortfall. Staff recommended
waiving this difference as no additional substantial landscaping could be added for this amount.
Staff also recommended replacing the Norway Maple with a Sugar Maple as Norway Maples
are a non-native intrusive species.
8. Traffic: ITE estimates that the property currently generates 8.12 P.M. peak hour vehicle trip ends
(vtes). The proposed addition will generate an additional 2.45 P.M. peak hour vtes for a total
of 10.57 P.M. peak vtes. The estimated road impact fee will be $58.56.
9. Sewer: The applicant did not request an additional sewer allocation.
10. Lighting_ No new lights are proposed. If the applicant wishes to add lights, cut sheets must be
submitted for review by the Director of Planning and Zoning. All lights must be downcasting
and shielded.
11. Dumpsters: There are three dumpsters currently on the property. One of these dumpsters is currently
unscreened. The plans must be revised to provide screening for all dumpsters. No new dumpsters
are proposed.
