Kieran and Jennifer Killeen, hereafter referred to as the applicant, are requesting Conditional
Use approval for an accessory residential unit at 11 Beacon Street. The subject property is
approximately 0.2 acres and falls within the Residential 4 (R4) District. The Development
Review Board granted the applicant Conditional Use approval for this project on August 19,
2003 (minutes enclosed). However, the approval lapsed, so the applicant is seeking re -
approval for this project. There are no changes from the original approval.
Associate Planner Brian Robertson and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, referred to herein as
staff, have reviewed the plans and have the following comments.
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, one (1) accessory residential unit
within or attached to a primary single-family residence may be permitted by the DRB in accordance
with Article 14, 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 (H) is disabled as
defined in subdivision 252(2) of Title 18, or (M) is at least 55 years of age.
The applicant has stated that they will target a person who meets the above -mentioned
occupancy criteria.
(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.
The proposed residential unit will not increase the floor area of the original dwelling unit. The
total livable area of the original dwelling unit is 2,201 square feet. The proposed accessory
residential unit is 250 square feet, which is 11.4% of the total livable area of the original dwelling
unit.
(d) Maximum occupancy of the accessory residential unit shall be two persons.
That applicant has stated they will not target more than two persons to occupy the unit.
(e) The principal dwelling shall be owner -occupied.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\misc\killeen reapp.doc
(t) No exterior alteration, other than the entranceways and other alterations required
by the Vermont building code are made to the principal dwelling.
The only exterior alterations made to the principal dwelling will be the conversion of the existing
windows into two French doors to provide access to the proposed unit from the side yard.
(g) No exterior entrance or other alterations shall be made to the front of the original
dwelling.
The front of the existing dwelling will remain unchanged.
(h) Public water and sewer shall be provided to all residences on the lot
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 applicant has stated the additional unit will be used for residential purposes.
(j) One additional off-street parking space shall be provided on the same lot
The subject property currently contains a two -car garage, as well as an addition parking space.
This additional parking space is not enclosed and is parallel to Beacon Street. Therefore, the
parking requirements for the proposed residential unit are met.
(k) A zoning permit shall be required for each accessory apartment.
Prior to constructing the accessory apartment, the applicant shall obtain a zoning permit from the
Administrative officer.
CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA
1. The proposed use, in its location and operation, shall be consistent with the planned
character of the area as defined by the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan.
According to the South Burlington Comprehensive Plan, residential neighborhoods should be
protected from incompatible commercial encroachment and traffic adherence. In addition, the
Plan states that the City should consider increasing the residential densities in areas that are
planned for residential use.
The proposed accessory residential unit will be consistent with the plan character of the area, as
defined by the Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed use shall conform to the stated purpose of the district in which the
proposed use is to be located.
According to Section 4.03(A) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, the
Residential 4 District is hereby formed in order to encourage residential use at moderate densities
that are compatible with existing neighborhoods and undeveloped land adjacent to those

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING
\drb\misclkilleen reapp doc
neighborhoods. Any use not expressly permitted is prohibited, except those that are allowed as
conditional uses.
Staff feels the proposed accessory residential unit conforms to the stated purpose of the R4
District.
3. 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 or two adult residents 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.
(e) Utilization of renewable energy resources.
The proposal will not affect renewable energy resources.
(0 General public health and welfare
Staff does not believe that the proposed accessory apartment will have an adverse affect on
general public welfare.

#CU-04-06 as submitted.
