THOMAS CHASE - PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT
FINAL PLAT APPLICATION #SD-04-87
FINDINGS of FACT AND DECISION
Thomas Chase, hereinafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking final plat approval to
amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of a 20, 300 sq ft
general office building. The amendment consists of site modifications to adjust parking
layout and add a gravel path, 46 Bowdoin Street. The South Burlington Development
Review Board held a public hearing on December 21, 2004. The applicant was present
at the meeting.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and
supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS of FACT
1. The applicant is seeking final plat approval to amend a previously approved
planned unit development consisting of a 20, 300 sq ft general office building.
The amendment consists of site modifications to adjust parking layout and add a
gravel path, 46 Bowdoin Street.
2. The subject property is located in the Industrial & Open Space (10) Zoning
District.
3. The record owner of the subject property is Chase Properties & Development.
4. The plan submitted consists of a plan entitled, "Office Building Lot 4 Meadowland
Business Park So. Burlington, VT 05403 General Overall Site Plan", prepared by
Walt Adams, dated March 20, 2002, last revised 11/11/04.
5. The Administrative Officer discovered that site modifications were made to the
property without approval. The building has been occupied for about a year
without a Certificate of Occupancy (C.O.) The C.O. could not be issued due to
the changes made without approval.
6. The proposed parking layout will reduce the number of parking spaces by six (6).
The original plans depicted a total of 118 parking spaces, five (5) of which were
designated as handicapped -accessible. The proposed plans depict a total of 112
parking spaces, five (5) of which are designated as handicapped -accessible.
Pursuant to Section 13.01 of the Land Development Regulations, the 20,300
square foot general office building on the subject property requires a minimum of
seventy-two parking spaces. Thus, the 112 spaces proposed on the plan will be
sufficient to meet the property's parking requirement.

7. The proposed gravel path will connect the parking area to the southeasterly
portion of the building. The size of the proposed path is very small in relation to
the existing impervious surfaces, and therefore will not increase the overall
coverage on the subject property, which is 49.4%.
