Handy, B. Kelly and C. Jennings for a boundary line adjustment involving two (2) existing parcels of 2.4 acres and .85 acres thereby creating two (2) reconfigured parcels of 1.6 acres and 1.45 acres, 45 Swift Street. On the 12th of May 1992, the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the request of S. Handy, B. Kelly and C. Jennings for final plat approval under Section 204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following facts: 1. This proposal consists of a boundary line adjustment between the Handy property (Bonanza Restaurant) and the Kelly & Jennings property at 45 Swift Street. Kelly and Jennings are adjusting their boundary in order to enlarge the Handy property by .8 acres. The preliminary plat was approved on March 24, 1992. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. Access/circulation: A new 20 foot r.o.w. is proposed across the remaining Kelly & Jennings lot to provide access to Swift Street from the annexed property. This r.o.w. is located over an existing access drive. The proposed r.o.w. will not interfere with the traffic circulation pattern on the Kelly & Jennings property. 6. Recreation/Bike ath: The plat shows an easement for a recreation/bike path across the applicants' 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. 7. 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.

Jennings for a boundary line adjustment involving two existing parcels of 2.4 acres and 0.85 acres thereby creating two reconfigured parcels of 1.6 acres and 1.45 acres as depicted on a plat entitled "Plan showing Annex to Handy Property from Kelly & Jennings, Shelburne Road, South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Warren Robenstein and dated January 1992 with the following stipulations: 1.
