Re: Randy Farrell Request for conditional use permit
4 Berard Drive
Findings of Fact. Conclusions of Law & Order
This matter came before the South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment on June 14, 1999 by
application of Randy Farrell, Priority Auto, Inc. seeking approval from Section 26.05, Conditional
Uses and Section 26.65 Multiple Structures and Uses on Lots of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations. Request is for permission to allow an auto rental use in conjunction with an auto repair
and service use in a 9868 square foot building, 4 Berard Drive according to plans submitted. The
Board of Adjustment finds as follows:
1. This project consists of converting 3200 square feet of vacant space to auto repair and service use
and auto rental use. The other use within the building consists of auto repair and service use. The
auto rental (Ryder Truck rental) is creating the multiple use and the need for a conditional use
permit. The Planning Commission granted site plan approval for this project on 5/25/99.
2. This property located at 4 Berard Drive lies within the IC District.
3. The proposed use complies with the stated purpose of the IC District. The purpose states in part,
"a range of individual commercial uses may be permitted in locations that will serve adjacent
areas and/or the traveling public that will be mutually compatible with industrial activity."
4. It is not expected that the mixture of an auto rental use and an auto repair and service use would
have an adverse affect on any existing or planned community facility.
5. The area is characterized by a variety of auto repair and service businesses, industrial uses and a
restaurant. The Planning Commission approval required that the auto rental vehicles be stored at the
rear of the property in the auto storage area which is to be screened by an evergreen hedge. This
screening will minimize the visual impact of these vehicles on the adjacent restaurant property.
6. The ITE Trip Generation Manual estimates the current use to generate 30.3 vehicle trip ends
(vte's) during the P.M. peak hour and the proposed uses to generate 32.3 vte's for a two (2) vte
increase. A two (2) vte increase would not adversely affect the traffic on roads or highways in the
vicinity.
7. This application complies with the bylaws in effect.
8. There is no utilization of renewable energy resources in the vicinity to be affected by this proposal.
9. It is not expected that the general public health and welfare would be adversely affected by the
proposed .
ORDER
The conditional use permit to allow the multiple use of the property of 4 Berard Drive with auto
repair and service use and auto rental use is hereby GRANTED.
