CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of F.E.P. Associates, c/o
Champlain Financial Group, for construction of a 4,800
square foot, second floor addition to an existing 24,000
square foot building, and use of the entire 28,800 gross
square feet for variety retail use (14,500 square feet
retail floor area), 518 Shelburne Road.
On the 8th of January 1991, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of F.E.P. Associates, c/o
Champlain Financial Group for a Revised Final Plat under Section
204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the
following findings:
1. Since the Planning Commission approved the Revised Final
Plat on October 16, 1990, it was discovered that the
applicants no longer have available to them 18 parking
spaces. To reduce parking demand, and therefore meet
parking requirements, the applicants will use the second
story only for storage and office use as it relates to the
first floor retail business, and use the first floor for
retail floor space (14,500 square feet) and storage.
2. Parking/circulation: This project now requires 97 spaces
based on the utilization of 14,500 square feet for retail
floor area and the plans show a total of 105 spaces. This
is a reduction of 18 spaces from the October 16th approval.
The 18 spaces removed were at the easterly end of the
building.
3. O'Dell Parkway: It is required that the applicant define
O'Dell Parkway with concrete curbing.
4. Access: No Change
5. Landscaping: No Change
6. Traffic: No Change
7. Other: The recommendation that a new catch basin be
installed on the north side of the building has been
incorporated into this revised plat.
