Re: Nordic Ford/Toyota
Dear Katherine:
This serves to notify you that the South Burlington Planning
Commission has granted site plan approval to Nordic Ford/
Toyota for construction of a 14,000 square foot building at
1620 Shelburne Road. This is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan of South Burlington.
The Planning Commission stipulated that the overall site
(1580-1600-1620 Shelburne Road and 40 Green Mountain Drive)
be revised to meet the 70% maximum lot coverage restriction
of our ordinance.
A sewer allocation of 600 gpd was also granted and there is
sufficient capacity at the Bartlett Bay Treatment Plan to
handle this increase.
Sincerely,
Jane Bechtel Lafleur,
City Planner

bypass the eastern pond, changing the slope of the roof on
the western building into the eastern detention pond, and
adding riprap or a drop structure on the steep slope to the
east between the outlet points of cluverts from the detention
ponds and the manmade swale on the AMC/Jeep property. The
owner shall maintain the detention ponds so that they remain
effective.
7. Building permits shall be obtained within 6 months.
Mr. Jacob seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Site Plan application of Nordic Ford/Toyota for construction
of a 14,000 sg ft building for auto sales and service at
1580-1600 Shelburne Rd.
Ms. Huffman explained that they are acquiring the site now
occupied by Otter Valley Trucking. The 3-acre lot will
contain a new 14,000 sq ft bulding which will brick, 2
stories, with a facade to match existing buildings. The lot
has the required coverage. Plantings will exceed require-
ments. Lighting will be low angle cut-off, 1000 watt which
will not spill beyond the green strip. Mrs. Lafleur
explained that on lots 1 & 4 the percentage of coverage is
within requirements but on lots 2 & 3 they are not within
requirements. Mr. Dooley said he felt all four lots together
should meet the 70% requirement. A polling of members showed
that a majority felt they should meet the 70% overall
coverage requirement.
Traffic on the site has been rerouted. Mr. Dooley noted they
will need a stipulation on the access road which now goes
onto someone else's property.
Landscaping will be hardy, native species, tolerant of city
conditions. Mrs. Lafleur said she felt landscaping was a
significant improvement.
Storm Drainage is now overland into a ditch. It will be
contained in catchbasins at Shelburne Rd. Mr. Stimson said
they propose to use part of the right of way for ponding to
detain water from their site and Green Mountain Dr. There
will be 2 discharge points. There are also small detention
ponds on site which will slow the flow down a bit. Mr.
Nelson said they are confident that retention ponds will
decrease the flow below the present conditions but not to the
predeveloped state. They felt the ponds should be increased
in size. Ms. Huffman said they are willing to work with
Wagner, Heindel & Noyes on this.
