CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of George B. Stern and Mr.
Davis, for conversion of Agel-Corman furniture building at
518 Shelburne Road to 6 retail specialty shops.
On the 9th of July, 1985, the South Burlington Planning Commission
denied the request of Mr. Davis and Mr. Stern for site plan
approval under the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on
the following findings:
1. Failure to conform with Section 11.30 which limits the maximum
size of a use in Commercial-1 District according to the traffic
standards of Section 17.00.
2. Failure to conform with Sections 17.30 and 17.301 which specify
the definitions and standards in determining the permitted size
of a use in a traffic overlay zone as follows:
a) The applicants proposed use as six retail specialty shops
on the first floor and 6000 square feet of office on the second
floor at 518 Shelburne Road is in Traffic Overlay Zone 1;
b) The maximum permitted peak hour traffic volume is 15
trips per peak hour per 40,000 square foot lot.
c) The total lot size attributed to this building is 126,000
square feet.
d) The permitted number of trips is 47 for this lot.
e) The applicants traffic study prepared by Fitzpatrick -
Llewellyn, Inc., dated 5/3/85 projects 81 trips per peak hour.
f) Therefore, the applicants proposed use and traffic projections
exceeds the maximum permitted amount.
g) The Commission denies the use on these grounds and denies
the request for a waiver of the overlay standards under Section
17.50 due to the existing congestion and conditions on Shelburne
Road.
