SOUTH BURLINGTON ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING JULY 11, 1973
The South Burlington Zoning Board of Adjustment held a public meeting at the

APPEAL #1 OF IRENE CASEY FROM SECTION 6.20(LOT AREA). 6.40(YARD). AND 6.5l(DWELLING)
Chairman Myette announced that since there were only three members of the Board
present at this meeting, an appeal may be approved only be a unanimous decision by
the sitting members. Mr. Ward said the property in question is located on 22 Wright
Court in Residential District B. He said that due to a misunderstanding, Berard
Construction erected,a shell for 91181 x 28' addition to Mrs. Casey's home 20 feet
i from the rear lot line rather than the required 30 feet provided by Section 6.40.
Mr. Ward said he discovered the mistake after making an on -site inspection and
Asked Berard to stop construction until an appeal could be made for a variance from
Section 6.40, Mr: Ward further explained to the Board that Mrs. Casey wished to change
the orin nol use of the addition from a bedroom -bath unit to an efficiency unit. This
change would not meet Section 6.26 which requires 7,500 square feet per family unit,
and the lot in question contains 9,300 square feet. Also in violation would be Section
6.51 which requires minimum dwelling standards of 650 square feet,and the proposed
SOUTH BURLINGTON ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING JULY 11, 1973
addition will have 504 square feet. Mrs. Casey explained to the Board that she wanted
to transfer the ownership of the house to her daughter and her fiancee. She said
she would like to be able to use the addition for her own living quarters which
would be separate from the rest of the house. She said the addition was two-thirds
finished and she didn't know what she would do if couldn't be completed. She said
the yard requirements could have been met if there hadn't been a misunderstanding.
She said it would be just herself in the addition and just her daughter and her
family in the house. Chairman Myette suggested that it would help to avoid future
mistakes if the dimension requirements were stated on permits. Mr. Bosworth stated
hP was'not in opposition to the appeal, but he requested that the Board stipulate
th^t the anproval to allow two family units with less than the required lot area
should termin^te if there is non -occupancy or sale of the property outside of Mrs.
Casey's family. Chairman Myette asked that a petition with four signatures be made
a part of the record. The petition reads: "We the undersigned have no objection to
Mrs. Casey addingr, an addition of 18 ft. x 28 ft. on the north end of her home. '
Request that Mrs. Casey be given the necessary variances as required by law."'
Mr. Poger read the decision of the Board that it was unanimous to grant approval
for Appeal #l,dated July 11, 1973, with the stipulation that the duplex use would
revert to a single unit use upon sale or non -occupancy.
APPEAL #2 OF EDGAR WELSH, FROM SECTION 8.40(YARD)`
Mr. Ward said the property in question is Burlington Rent -All, owned by Mr. Welsh,
340 Dorset St. in Business District B. He said Mr. Welsh proposes to construct a
30' x 60' building for storage to be located within 3 feet of the northerly side yard.
This would not meet Section 8.40 requiring a minimum side yard 25 feet. Mr. Welsh
said he wished to lease most of the proposed storage building to an auto trim business,
for storAPe of their parts. He said he preferred not to add on to his existing
buildi.nRs because it would cause a less satisfactory traffic pattern for the loading

and movement of his trucks by necessitating them to back up. He said the location
of the storage building to the north of the driveway seemed the best use of that
portion of his property. He felt it would be an improvement to the area which is
nresPntly occupied by old cars. Chairman Myette said the Board is intended to hear
hprdshin cAses, and in this instance it didn't appear that the storage shed was
essential for the operation of the present business but was meant to generate further
inco,ne.' -Chairman M,yette also said he felt that a building within 3 feet of a lot
line would deoreciAte the value of the property. He suggested that the Board
table the appeal and make an on -site inspection to determine the physical layout of
the business. Mr. PoR6r moved to table the Appeal #2. July 11, 1973, in order
to make an on -site inspection no later than July 16, 1973. Mr. Martineau seconded
the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
APPEAL #3 OF WILFORD R. RACINE FROM SECTION 7.10 (USE)
Mr. Ward said the property is southerly of Nordic Ford in Business District A. The
proposal is to construct an American Motors and Jeep automobile dealership which is
a use not allowed in Section 7.10. Mr. Peter Collins described the proposed construction.
He said a use variance for the automobile dealership would not change the character of
the area. All access for the business will be only from the feeder road which leads
into the National Life Subdivision from Shelburne Rd. (opposite Bartlett's Bay Rd.);
there will be no direct access from the business to Shelburne Rd. Mr. Collins
i repd a letter from the State Highway Department which said there would be no adverse
effect on the traffic flow on Route 7. Mr. Collins explained that Mr. Racine presently
is the depler for Jeep and he has been offered the American Motors franchise to be
operated jointly with Jeep. The present location on Pine St. does not have enough land
to handle both businesses. The Shelburne Rd. site would be ideal, because the lot is
large enough and because it is surrounded by other auto dealerships in the area. Mr.
Racine said American Motors looked at other sites and chose the Shelbum6 Rd.

site, becauSP, as he put it, "They wanted to be where the action is." Mr. Curtis
from N-tional Life said that National Life has Riven Mr. Racine three extensions on
a contract and that the present one would expire July 25, 1973. Chairman Myette
asked Mr. Collins to describe the building and grounds. He said basically it was a
steel frame building hnd the exterior would be exposed agregate panels with a standard
style building used nationally by American Motors. Display of cars would be in
the side and rear yard, but there would be no display in the 75' front yard.
Mr. Poger asked Mr. Racine if he felt that the lack of direct access to Shelburne Rd.
would be a deterrent to his business. Mr. Racine said no. Chairman Myette said he
was impressed with the plans and especially that the business did not ask for parking
or display in the front yard. The request for the use variance for Appeal #3.dated
July 11, 1973, was approved unanimously by the Board.
TABLED APPEAL #3,JiTNE 20, 1973, OF TWIN OAKS TENNIS CENTER FROM SECTION 14.80(SIGNS)_
Mr. Ward said the property is located on Kennedy Drive in Residential District C.
Cht�irmnn Myette said the original request was for a 64 square foot sign. He said
the anneal wns tabled And that the applicant was asked to return with a size that
was in keening with the other signs on Kennedy Dr. The owner of Twin. -Oaks Center
nre4Pnted A drawing of a sign which was 12 square feet for the readable portion.
Chairman Myette explained that since the June 20 meeting, a new sign ordinance had
been passed, but that this applicant was not obliged to adhere since the appeal had
been made before the passage of the new ordinance. Mr. Poger asked what the new
ordinance stipulated for Residential C. Mr. Ward said that it did not have a special
provision -for Residential C. but that it did -allow 6 square feet for a use variance
in a residential district. Mr. Poger said he felt a variance should be granted but
that the amount of the variance should be in conformance with the new ordinance.
Chairman Myette said he sympathized with Mr. Poger except that at the last meeting
the Board only specified to the applicant that he coke up with a size in keeping
s ,

with the other signs on Kennedy Dr. He said he felt the sign was in keeping.
Chairman Myette strongly advised the applicant, however, that the existing sign
was illegal as of next Monday and that there would be a fine of $10.00 per day
for every day the sign remained after Monday. Appeal3, June 20, 1973, was
approved unanimously.
RESIr,NATION OF gIDNEY POGER
Mr. Poger said that as of his anpointment to the Planning Commission his resignation
from the Zoning Board of Adjustment was effective. He expressed his thanks for
the nleRsure of serving on this Board, and said that it was a beneficial experience.

Dear Brian:
Application 4CO094
National Life Insurance Cos2anv
Supplementing the January 15th highway Department comments
to Jonathan Bump, fir. Curtis, of Hickok i Boardman, and Mr. Lawton,
of Webster -Martin, came to the Highway Department and reviewed and
discussed the proposed development with Mr. Stickney, Assistant Chief
Engineer, and no. They furnished us with plans and profile of the
development road, which meet or exceed Highway Department specifications
for development roads.
The plans as presented have a frontage road serving the
remainder of the developable land fronting on US 7 to the North
ft Nordic Ford. They also indicated that if they can negotiate
and receive approval of the parties having an interest in the existing
road immediately northerly of Nordic Ford, this road will be closed
off, except for the frontage road entrance and to continue the existing
entrance for Nordic Ford. We concur with the developer that entrance
opposite the Bartlett* Bay road is the proper place for an additional
entrance to Route 7. It is also our understanding that the development
road betveen Lots 9 and 11 say be extended in the future to connect
with Shelburne Road-Spoar Street Connector, as recommended in the
South Burlington Master Plan.
They stated that access to Lots 3 and 4 would only be from the
development road, and not directly on to US 7, in accordance with
our original comment request.
