FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
STATE OF VERMONT
COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact and Decision, site plan application of Jill B. Jones to amend a previously
approved plan for a 10,064 square foot building consisting of 7114 square feet of general office
space and 2950 square feet of medical office space, 408-410 Shelburne Road.
On the 21' day of September, 1999, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved
the site plan application of Jill B. Jones to amend a previously approved plan for a 10,064 square
foot building consisting of 7114 square feet of general office use and 2950 square feet of medical
office space under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the
following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a previously approved plan for a 10,064 square foot building
consisting of: 1) 7114 square feet of general office space, and 2) 2950 square feet of medical
office space. The amendment consists of converting 1085 square feet of general office space to
personal service space. The last review of this property by the Planning Commission was on
8/24/99.
2. The owner of record of this property is John Larkin.
3. This property located at 408 - 410 Shelburne Road lies within the C 1 District. It is bounded
on the east by single family residences, on the north by a retail building, on the south by an office
building and fast food restaurant, and on the west by Shelburne Road.
4. Access/circulation: Access is provided by a 28 foot wide curb cut on Shelburne Road and a
mutual access drive (approved but not developed) to the property to the north. No changes
proposed.
Circulation on the site is adequate.
5. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 16% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall coverage
is 68% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front yard coverage is 40% (maximum allowed is 30%).
This is an existing situation which will not be made worse by this application.
Setback requirements have been met.
6. Parking: A total of 85 spaces are required and 69 spaces are provided including four (4)
handicapped spaces. This represents a 16 space or 18.8% parking shortfall. A waiver for the 16
space shortfall was approved by the Planning Commission on 8/24/99.
7. Landscaping_ No additional landscaping required.
8. Sewer: This property is connected to the Burlington sewer system.
9. Traffic: This property is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 5 which allows this property to
generate a maximum of 64.2 vte's during the P.M. peak hour. Based on traffic counts submitted
by the applicant for the previous approval, it is estimated that the currently approved site
generates 76 vte's, and with the personal service use will generate 77.19 vte's for a 1.19 vte
increase. Pursuant to Section 21.50 of the zoning regulations, the Development Review Board
may allow higher volumes if it determines that other site improvements will produce a net benefit
for traffic flow in the vicinity. The mutual access to the property to the north will produce a net
benefit for traffic flow in the vicinity. The Planning Commission on 8/24/99 approved the 76 vte's
and this request will add 1.19 additional vte's.
DECISION AND CONDITIONS
Based on the above Findings of Fact, the South Burlington Development Review Board approves
the site plan application of Jill B. Jones to amend a previously approved plan for a 10,064 square
foot building consisting of 7114 square feet of general office space and 2950 square feet of
medical office space, 410 Shelburne Road. The amendment consists of converting 1085 square
feet of general office space to personal service space, as depicted on a plan entitled "410
Shelburne Road For: Larkin Realty South Burlington, Vermont", prepared by Rabideau
Architects, Inc., dated 10/30/1998, last revised 7/19/99, with the following stipulations:
1) All previous approvals and stipulations which are not superseded by this approval shall remain
in effect.
2) This property is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 5 which allows this property to generate a
maximum of 64.1 vte's during the P.M. peak hour. Based on previous traffic counts submitted by
the applicant, it is estimated that the currently approved site generates 76 vte's, and with the
expansion and medical office use to generate 77.19 vte's for a 1.19 vte increase. Pursuant to
Section 21.50 of the zoning regulations, the Development Review Board determines that the
mutual access to the property to the north will produce a net benefit for traffic flow in the vicinity,
and therefore, approves the additional peak hour volume.
3) For the purpose of calculating road impact fees under the South Burlington Impact Fee
Ordinance, the Development Review Board estimates that the personal service use will generate
1.19 additional vehicle trip ends during the P.M. peak hour.
4) The applicant shall obtain a zoning permit within six (6) months pursuant to Section 27.302 of
the zoning regulations or this approval is null and void.
5) The applicant shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance from the Administrative
Officer prior to the use of the personal service space.
6) Any change to the site plan shall require approval by the Development Review Board.
