Site Plan application of Martin &:Snyder Associates, Inc., d.b.a. Century Lighting and Dinettes occupancy of 00 sq. ft, retail store with 000 sq. ft. of storage area at Whittlesey property 358 Dorset St. Mr. 'lard said the site was formerly occupied by Acme Paint & Glass. It contains 112 acre of land and the building is 7500 sq. ft. The area is zoned Cl, zone 5, but the applicant submitted a study which indicates that the use will conform to the zone 5 criteria. Mr. Ted Martin said they would improve the area where the yellow stripes for parking are. They do not plan to repave the parking lot. There is enough room on the site for more parking if it is needed. The ordinance requires 35 spaces. The Commission noted that if the storage portion'of the building were renovated, there would not be enough room for parking spaces for use of the building as totally retail. Mr. Snyder asked about renovating a part of the area used for storage now. If the lot could provide the required spaces, would there be an objection to having more retail area? Mr. Ward did not think the use could go over 4,000 sq. ft. for retail area. Mr. Martin said they would add low shrubs in the existing green area on the lot. Mr. Jacob came in at this point. Mr. Mona wanted the print to show the property lines more clearly. Mr. Jacob moved that the South Burlington Planning Commission grant sitQ plan approval for the application of Martin & Snyder Associates, d.b.a. Century Lighting and Dinettes for occupancy of a 3500 sq. ft. retail store with 4000 sq. ft. of storage area, as depicted on a plan entitled "Site plan, Century Liahtin and Dinettes", dated March 9, 1984 prepared by Ron Snyder,_W th tbq'__ following stipulations: 1.

Very truly, Richard ward, Zoning Administrative Officer 1 Encl M E M O R A N D - M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative OfFicer , Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 3/23/84 2) Century Lighting & Dinettes, 358 Dorset Street This site is located within the traffic overlia/ district, based on a lot size (21,000 square feet) and the trips permitted v> > thin the zone 5 area the maximum acceptable per peak hour is 23. Based on data from Institute of Transportati.(�jj Engineers using a hardware/ paint store which compares with a similar use from the zoning regulations, the maximum size building permitted would be fs,700 g.f.a. on a 40,000 square foot lot. A study completed by the applicant i-ndicates that of two similar uses to that proposed, the maximum peak hour traffic was 10 on a Saturday afternoon. The proposed use will occupy 3500 t_iquare foot retail area and the balance as storage, this meets City's standar(Is- Landscaping is short of the requirements - 8 Fojr cent of the lot is green area, additional landscaping in the amount of �350.00 is proposed. Parking for 35 spaces is required. A waiver is requepi-ed (22 spaces) and is warranted. No site improvements are proposed r)ther than erection of stock- ade fence and landscaping. Dorset Street is presently a 66 foot right-of- way 80 feet is planned, Planning Commission sIN>uld request a 7 foot strip for future road widening. 3) Grandview, Phase III This is the final phase within this developmei+t• Sidewalk's have been an issue in the past. Along with construction or Phase III sidewalks are proposed along the southerly side of Grandview) Drive (approximately 1400 feet) bonding required in the amount of $7,000. Parking is apparently a problem at cluster II, less than two spaces per unit were provided. An additional parking area will be constructed within the boundaries of phase III to accommodate the sh<sitage of space in phase II. Buildings G-H-I-J are affected. The average peaces for the entire develop- ment is 1.6 spaces per unit. This conforms wit-h the zoning regulations enacted during the period of original approvals, however, does not conform to current regulations. Phase III will provide r+t) spaces (49.5 required under 1974 regulations and 69 required under current regulations). Recreational fees and phasing of construction were issues in the past. Phasing is actually behind one year, there sh(+iald be no problem constructing the entire 32 units in 1984. Recreational fop at a rate of 8.74 per unit is due before permits are issued.
