COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of Doremus Associates to amend
a previously approved site plan to correct drafting errors showing
overall coverage, 370 Shelburne Road.
On the 25th of October, 1994, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Doremus Associates for site plan
review under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a site plan approved on
8/11/92 to correct drafting errors showing overall coverage. The
previous approval required that green space be added so as not to
exceed the overall coverage of the plan approved on 9/20/83. The
applicant has had a new accurate site plan prepared which indicates
that the overall coverage approved on the 1983 plan can be met
without adding green space. This request is to have the new plan
approved and substituted for the 1992 plan. The site is developed
with a 16,476 square foot retail center.
2. This property located at 370 Shelburne Road is within the C1
District. It is bounded on the south by Proctor Avenue, on the
east by a single family home, on the west by Shelburne Road and on
the north by a large office building.
3. Access/circulation: Access is currently

4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 29.3% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 78.9% (maximum allowed is 70%). The
maximum lot coverage approved in 1983 is 80.4%. Front yard
coverage along Shelburne Road is 74.4% and along Proctor Avenue is
84.2% (maximum allowed is 30%). The current proposal will not
increase the degree of nonconformance for coverage.
5. Traffic: Not affected.
6. Parking: The existing uses on the property require a total of
59 parking spaces and the plan indicates that 63 spaces including
two (2) handicapped spaces are available.
7. Landscaping: The $750 worth of landscaping required as part of
the 1992 approval was never planted. Unless this landscaping is

installed, the City will be forced to use the funds in the escrow
account to fulfill the landscaping requirement. The plan should be
revised to show the landscaping which has not yet been planted and
a planting schedule.
8. Dumpsters: The plan should show a screened dumpster storage
area similar to the approved plan.
9. Lighting: No changes
