Re: Findings of Fact, application of Triumph Auto Glass to convert
3000 square feet of a 6500 square foot retail building from retail
to auto service use, 1335 Shelburne Road.
On the 8th day of October, 1996, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Triumph Auto Glass for site plan
review under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of converting 3000 square feet of a 6500
square foot retail building from retail to auto service use. The
ZBA on 8/12/96 granted the applicant a conditional use permit for
the proposed use.
2. This property located at 1335 Shelburne Road lies within the C2
District. It is bounded on the north by a retail building, on the
south by a storage/distribution building, on the south by a retail
building, and on the east by Shelburne Road.
3. Access/circulation: Access is provided by a shared 40 foot
wide curb cut on Shelburne Road and a shared 24 foot curb cut and
driveway across the property to the north to Holmes Road. No
changes proposed.
Circulation on the site is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 16.7% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 64% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front
yard coverage is 23.7% (maximum allowed is 30%).
Setback requirements are met.
5. Parking: The existing and proposed use requires a total of 12
spaces and 21 spaces are provided including one (1) handicapped
space. A bike rack is also being provided as required under
Section 26.253(b) of the zoning regulations.
6. Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement,
based on building costs, for this project. Staff recommended that
street trees be planted along the frontage in a location that would
not be affected by the Shelburne Road widening.
7. Traffic: This property is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 2
which would allow this property to generate a maximum of 19.4
vehicle trip ends (vte's) during the P.M. peak hour. ITE estimates
that the current use generates 31.2 vte's and the existing and
proposed uses to generate 24.7 vte's which represents a 6.5 vte or
20.8% reduction in P.M. peak hour trip ends.
8. Sewer: No additional allocation required.
9. Dumpster: A screened dumpster storage area will be provided.
10. Lighting: Existing exterior lighting consists of:
--- six (6) 500 watt building mounted fixtures with quartz bulbs.
These lights will be tilted down to prevent peripheral glare.
No additional lighting proposed.
11. Other:
--- note on plan should be revised to indicate that the square
footage of the NYNEX mobile phone space is 3500 square feet
not 3580 square feet.
