Re: Findings of Fact, application of Sun Tift for use of an
existing 1,960 square foot building for a hair and tanning salon
business, 10 Patchen Road.
On the 23rd of February, 1993 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Sun Tift for site plan review
under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations
based on the following findings:
1) This project consists of the conversion of a 1960 square foot
mixed office/residential building to a hair and tanning salon. The
mixed office/residential use was approved on 4/25/89.
2) This property at 10 Patchen Road lies within the Commercial 1
District. It is bounded on the east by a duplex on Cottage Grove
Avenue, on the south by a video store, on the west by Williston
Road and on the north by a professional office building.
3) Access/circulation: Access is via an existing 20 foot curb cut
on Patchen Road. No changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate. Applicant is proposing one-way traffic
circulation and will be erecting two (2) one-way signs.
4) Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 10% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 50% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front
yard coverage is 48.5% (maximum allowed is 30%). Front yard
coverage is existing and will not be affected by this application.
5) The structure is noncomplying as it does not meet the front and
side yard setback requirements. No alteration is proposed which
would increase the degree of nonconformity. This structure is
subject to the 25% rule in Section 19.002 of the zoning
regulations.
6) Parking: This project requires a total of seven (7) parking
spaces and 14 spaces are being provided including one (1)
handicapped space.
7) Traffic: This property is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 1
which would allow this property to generate a maximum of eight (8)
vehicle trip ends (vte's) during the P.M. peak hour. It is
estimated that the previous use (office/residential) generated
seven (7) vte's and the proposed use will generate 4.8 vte's.

8) Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement for
this project. Site is adequately landscaped.
9) Sewer: This project requires an additional sewer allocation of
380 gpd. The applicant will be required to pay the per gallon fee
prior to permit.

following:
0 2-150 watt lamps at front of building.

0 2-150 watt security lights on 2nd floor at rear.
