Dear Mr. Wilson:
Be advised that the South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment has granted
your request for a zoning variance. The Board will issue formal findings at
a later date.
Lj Upon completion of site plan approval, this office will issue a zoning permit.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me.

PLANNING COT4ISSION OCTOBER 27, 1981
using Baldwin Avenue. Mr. Merone said they could not do that. He said the
lease limited the property to 130' x 100' and it was suggested that the lines
bo moved in the lease to give the station more room. Closing the curb cut
on Shelburne Road closest to Baldwin Avenue was also mentioned, but it did
not seem that that would have any advantage.
Mr. Jacob felt it was a very small area and he felt there might be
problems with cars parking on the lot. Mr. Woolery wondered if there was
another way to get around the lot than the one proposed.
Mr. Woolery moved that the mouth Burlington Planning Commission approve
the site plan application of Midway Oil Corporation as depicted on a site
plxn entitled "Proposed Convenience Store for Midway Oil" dated August 24,
1981, revised October 14, 1981. Mr. Jacob seconded the motion. o
Mr. Woolery felt the applicants had done as much as they could with
the site, but he felt the city had had enough of this kind of application.
Mr. Poger noted that this was one of the first applications to come in
under the Commission's new traffic control measures and he felt that going
against what they had just suggested for traffic did not make sense. Mr.
Woolery encouraged cooperation between the owners and applicants to make a
larger lot or fewer access points. Mr. Mona did not feel the application
was in the best interests of the city.
The motion failed on a vote of 4 no and 0 yes votes.
Site plan application by William and Anna Wilson for offices and one apart-
ment at the corner of Dorset Street and -San Remo Drive
Mr. Jacob removed himself from the discussion due to a possible conflict
of interest. Mr. Poger said a quorum was still maintained, since Mr. Jacob
would be attending the meeting, although not voting on the application.
Mr. by-tz said the applicants had been before the 'Zoning Board last
night and had received approval for a multiple use and for alteration of
a non -conforming structure. He said there would be room to have the access
be only off San Remo Drive, but doing so would take out some nice shrubbery
and he was not sure it was necessary. Parking will be in a gravel area in
the rear. Mr. Spitz said the proposed use would increase traffic on the
lot, but he felt that the commercial use going in there would be the minimum
one could have as far as traffic.
The house has the apartment now and that will remain.
Mr. Muir said he was a real estate agent working with the Wilsons. Mrs.
Wilson has an electrolysis business and she will use 1-2 rooms in the house
for that and will rent out the other rooms, preferably to one firm. Drainage
in the rear runs into a culvert near the Lake Buick property. There are two
sump pumps in the garage. They run into the sanitary sewer and will be changed
to run into the storm drainage system, as they should. The Wilsons will not
live in the house.
Mr. Levesque arrived at this time.
It was noted that the home could have as many as 4 offices.
Although the traffic will be greater than the previous use, Mr. Poger
noted that the city would not gain much because of this new use, but the
uses would also probably be low traffic generators.
Mr. Woolery noted that if the apartment were converted to an office,
there would be a potential for 7 offices.
Mr. Woolery moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission approve
the site Plan_ a�p.lication _ of_Wi.11_iam and Anna_Wilson,_ as, depicted on a plan
of t e-sake ti.tledated. of
6 L_1981, for offices and one residential
apartment at the corner of San Remo Drive and Dorset Street, subject to the
5.

:fir. Mona seconded the motion. Mr. Poger noted that this was a minor change
but said he would abstain from the vote because he did not want to add any
traffic in a Cl zone.
The motion carried with Messrs. Jacob and Poger abstaining and Messrs.
Levesque, Nona and Woolery voting yes.
Continuation of public hearinE on application by South Burlington Realty
Corporation for final plat approval of a 40.6 acre planned commercial
development entitled Corporate Circle located south of Williston Road and
east of Dorset Street
Mr. Mona moved that the Commission refer to what has been called the
Dorset Street -Hinesburg Road connector henceforth as "Corporate Way". Mr.
Levesque seconded the motion and all voted for it, except Mr. Poger, who
voted no.
Mr. Spitz had submitted a draft of 16 stipulations for the application,
dated 10126181. He felt the applicant had gone far enough for final
approval to be granted except for one item. He felt that legal documents
should be submitted before final approval was granted. He said that if
the Commission could agree on the stipulations tonight, when the documents
came in, final approval would take about 5 minutes.
Mr. Ewing arrived at this time.
It was decided to go through the Planner's draft.
Mr. Schner had a problem with item ff2. He had drafted proposed stipulations
of his own to go along with Mr. Spitz' and he read his stipulation dealing
with the Mary Street turnaround. His asked that the city accomodate the
drainage with plans approved by the developer. He also wanted a row of 5'
conifers planted and maintained by the city to prevent through traffic, and
he had wording which indicated that the loss of acreage for the turnaround
not affect development of the lot.
Mr. Spitz showed a drawing of what the turnaround would look like. He
noted that it would go in 801. Mr. Levesque said there was not that much room
at the end of Barrett Street and Mr. Ewing felt the 30' radius could be
shortened. Mr. Spitz did not think the turnaround would be paved.
Mr. Ewing did not feel the Commission could enter into an agreement to
require the city to do work at its expense and Mr. Poger agreed. Mr. Ewing
suggested Mr. Schner go to the City Council with such a request. Mr. Schner
did not want his development to have to handle runoff caused by snow storage
on Mary Street, and Mr. Jacob agreed that if the city used the land for a
dumping ground, they should take care of the runoff. Yx. Poger felt the best
