FINDINGS OF FACT & DECISION

CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of Bayview Pontiac Cadillac
Ltd, for construction of a 1500 square foot addition to an
existing building used for automobile service use, 1030 Shelburne
Road.
On the loth of July 1990, the South Burlington Planning Commis-
sion approved the above referenced site plan under Section 19.10
of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based upon the follow-
ing findings:
1. Bayview Pontiac proposes to construct a 1,500 square foot
addition to its body shop for automobile service use. The appli-
cant proposes to upgrade the painting booth inside the building
in order to eliminate odor problems from the painting operations.
There have been several complaints from parents of children
attending Orchard School. Fred Tuttle has expressed support for
the proposed upgrade of the painting equipment.
2. The body shop sits on a 3 acre parcel which includes the main
Bayview Pontiac building and a small building which houses a
"Kwik Photo" business. The property is zoned C1 and is bounded
on the east by Orchard School, on the south by Perry's Restau-
rant, on the north by a motel, and on the west by Shelburne Road.
3. Access/Circulation: Access to the property would remain by
the existing 3 curb cuts. the circulation lanes shown on the
plan should be kept free of parked vehicles.
4. Parking: This addition should not change parking require-
ments.
5. Setbacks/Coverage: The existing body shop is only 5 feet
from the rear property line. The applicant received a variance
for the addition from the Zoning Board on June 11, 1990.
Total lot coverage is approximately 95% (70% maximum allowed).
The addition would not increase lot coverage since it would be
replacing existing pavement with structure. Building coverage is
met.
6. Traffic: Based on ITE the existing property generates 127
trips during the P.M. peak hour. The project is located in Traf-
fic Overlay Zone 2 which allows 65 peak hour trips for the 3 acre
parcel. Based on I.T.E., the addition will generate 10 peak hour
trips. Practically speaking, the addition should not increase
trip generation by 10 since it is being done to upgrade body shop
technology. The applicant estimates 2-3 additional cars per
week.
7. Landscaping: The addition requires $1500 in landscaping.
DECISION & CONDITIONS
Based upon the above findings the Planning Commission approved
the Site Plan application of Bayview Pontiac, Cadillac, Ltd, for
construction of a 1,500 square foot addition to an existing
building used for automobile service as shown on a plan entitled
"Bayview Olds, Pontiac Cadillac Ltd, 1030 Shelburne Road, South
Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Mahl Construction and dated
6/1/90 with the following stipulations:
1. The applicant shall post a $1,500, 3-year landscaping bond
prior to permit. A revised plan showing this value in new land-
scaping shall be submitted to the City Planner for approval prior
to issuance of a building permit.
2. The plan shall be revised to show the location of the
existing drainage system which runs through the property and
connects to a catch basin in Shelburne Road. If the City Engi-
neer determines that the addition will conflict with the drainage
system, the drainage system shall be relocated as approved by the
City Engineer. The relocated drainage system shall be shown on
the plan.
3. All parking aisles and access lanes shall be kept free of
parked cars at all times to assure adequate emergency access.
4. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months or this
approval is null and void.
