fifty-six (56) foot frontage from a lot containing 1.02 acres and one hundred
forty (140) foot frontage, located at 10 Shunpike Road.
Mr. Ward said the area was zoned R4 and that minimum required lot size
is 9,500 sq. ft. with 80' frontage. The existing lot has 44,590 sq. ft. and
140' frontage, and the proposed lots would have 11,245 sq. ft. and 83'
frontage, and 33,344 sq. ft. and 56' frontage.
Mr.. Fisette said they had lived in the city for 13 years. He may be
taking a foreign assignment soon and would like to be able to come back to
South Burlington after that is done. If he does not take the assignment,
he may build the .new house anyway, because the family is outgrowing the
present home. He noted that the land was originally two lots, but one person
bought both and put the home across the dividing line. This means that the
lot has to.be 83' wide;,.. in order to allow a 10' side yard. He noted that he
might make the new home a two-family dwelling. Ir. Ward said that would
increase the frontage requirement to 85'. Mr. Fisette said the new home would
be placed in the middle of the larger lot, not in the 56' wide area of the lot.
The Board diseussed stipulating that, but decided it was not necessary.
Mr. Boehm noted that the parcel was now being used in conformity with
the ordinance, and he saw no hardship. ins. Fisette said he could not afford
to buy a lot in South Burlington, so this was the only way he could remain in
the city, or come back to it. He was asked about expanding the present house,
but did not feel that was appropriate or cost-effective.
The appeal was granted on a 4-1 vote.
No. 3 Appeal of Nathaniel Lash
Appeal of Nathaniel Lash seeking a variance from Section 19.00, Non-
complying structures, subsection 19.002, alterations of the S'outh Burlington
Regulations. Request is for permission to construct a 37' x 140' addition to
an existing structure which exceeds the maximum lot coverage (total coverage
36j�) on a lot containing 1.3 acres, located at 1515 Shelburne Road.
Mr. 'Ward said the area was zoned C2 and th4t.maximum coverage allowed for
building was 30o, and total was 70;�. ExistingAcov`h-age is 40,» and proposed i ,
36P. This would be an alteration of a non -complying structure. The proposal
is to rurchase a strip of land 50' x 2751, making the lot total 53,350 sq. ft.
The new addition would contain 5,090 sq. ft. The 25,b rule also applies here.
14r. Lash said the building was built in 1968 and he had been before the
Board several times since to try to increase its size. He said he had lost
one furniture franchise because he did not have enough space and he was concerned
that he not lose more. Mr. Boehm asked about total coverage and was told it
exceeded the 70M allowed now and under the proposal.
Mr. Robert Foczabut represented the owners of Goss Dodge next to this and
said they would like to see on the ground exactly where this building would be
put. He added that there was a natural drainageway in the iroposed area.
14r. Boehm saw no unique physical circumstances, noted that reasonable use
of the property now existed, saw no hardship and felt that the coverage limits
were set to establish openness in that area. I�,r. Guyette noted that he would
be reducing the total building coverage as a percentage. Mr. Lash said he
felt this was the minimumvariancebecause he would reduce coverage, and that
this, would not alter the, character of .the area, but enhance it. He also felt
there was a wardship because the business had.to.move ahead and that because
of the cost of the land and the construction, to build a smaller addition would

cor=urity facilities on the property and said that this was an effort to
maintain tie character of the area as it is now - in o-)en fields. They stopped
milking cows several years ago and need some income. He did not feel this
would generate a significant amount of traffic and noted that the greenhouse
