Re: Findings of Fact, application of S. Handy, B. Kelly and C.
Jennings for a boundary line adjustment involving two (2) existing
parcels of 2.4 acres and 0.85 acres thereby creating two (2)
reconfigured parcels of 1.6 acres and 1.45 acres, 45 Swift Street
and 792 Shelburne Road.
On the 13th of October, 1992 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of S. Handy, B. Kelly and C.
Jennings for preliminary and final plat approvals under Sections
203 and 204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based
on the following findings:
1. This application is for reapproval of the preliminary and final
plats for a boundary line adjustment involving two (2) parcels of
2.4 acres and 0.85 acres thereby creating two (2) reconfigured
parcels of 1.6 acres and 1.45 acres. The purpose for the
reapproval is because the applicant failed to provide the legal
documents necessary to record the final plat within the 90 day
period. Final plat was approved on 5/21/92.
2. This boundary line adjustment is between the Handy property
(Bonanza Restaurant) at 792 Shelburne Road and the Kelly & Jennings
property at 45 Swift Street. Kelly & Jennings are reducing the
size of their lot in order to enlarge the Handy property by 0.8
acres.
3. The 45 Swift Street property is located in the Commercial 1
District and is bounded on the north by Swift Street, on the east
by a single family dwelling and a mini -warehouse, on the south by
four (4) single family residences on Lindenwood Drive and on the
west by Bonanza, Pizza Hut Restaurant and a commercial building
containing a beauty shop and an interior decorator.
4. The Kelly & Jennings property is presently developed with an
office and warehouse building. These uses require a total of 20
parking spaces and 54 spaces are available on this lot.
5. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage on the remaining Kelly &
Jennings lot will be 27.7% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall
coverage will be 70% (maximum allowed is 70%). Existing covered
area is being converted to green space to meet coverage
requirements.
The main building meets all setback requirements but a detached
accessory shed which straddles the new boundary line does not. It
is shown on the plat as to be removed. This shed must be removed
prior to recording of final plat.
6. Access/circulation: A new 20 foot r.o.w. is proposed across
the remaining Kelly & Jennings property. The issue of access and
circulation was evaluated at the time of site plan review for the
motel addition on the Handy property.
7. Recreation/Bikepath: The plat shows an easement for a
recreation/bike path across the applicant's property from Swift
Street to Shelburne Road. The path is located along the perimeter
of the property and should not interfere with any future
development.
8. Merger agreement: Legal documents which merge the Handy
property with the .8 acre lands must be submitted, reviewed, and
approved by the City Attorney. These legal documents should be
recorded at the same time the plat is recorded.
