SITE PLAN APPLICATION #SP-09-47
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Champ Car Care Center, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking approval to
amend a previously approved plan for a seven (7) bay car wash and 4,000 sq. ft. auto
repair and service building. The amendment consists of after -the -fact approval to revise
the landscaping plan for the auto repair and service building, 2 Harbor View Road
(Girlington Garage).
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on June 16, 2009. No one
represented the applicant.
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 approval to amend a previously approved plan for a seven
(7) bay car wash and 4,000 sq. ft. auto repair and service building. The amendment
consists of after -the -fact approval to revise the landscaping plan for the auto repair and
service building, 2 Harbor View Road (Girlington Garage).
2. The application was received on June 5, 2009
3. The owner of record of the subject property is Champ Car Care Center
4. The subject property is located in the Commercial 2 Zoning District.
5. The plan submitted is entitled "Champ Car Wash South Burlington Vermont,"
prepared by Wiemann-Lamphere Architects, dated 6/1/2009.
The last approved plan for the site dates to November, 1993. At some point since then,
landscaping was installed that did not match the approved plan. This application is an
attempt to rectify this mistake and to ensure that the ground conditions match an
approved plan. Therefore, the applicant is requesting approval for the landscaping which
has been installed. Staff has visited the site and reviewed the landscaping plan. It
exceeds the minimum value which was required at the time of the last plan approval.
The Board therefore supports the request to approve the landscaping changes.
The applicant is also seeking approval for a change in parking lot layout: five parking
spaces which were previously on the eastern edge of the parking area have been moved
to the western parking area to be closer to the access door. One handicapped space is
provided. Additionally, an area previously approved for parking on a grassed area to the

northeast portion of the lot is proposed to be reverted to planned green space. No
concrete exists but this area shall no longer serve as an approved area for parking. This
is only an improvement over the existing approval.
