Re: Findings of Fact, application of Champ Car Care West to
convert a 600 square foot car wash office to an auto rental office
and construction of a 25 space parking area on a lot containing a
seven (7) bay car wash and 4,000 square foot detail shop, 2 Harbor
View Road.
On the 9th of November, 1993 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Champ Car Care West for site
plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of converting 600 square feet of car wash
office area to an auto rental office and construction of a 25 space
parking area. The auto rental business has already moved in and is
operating. On 2/2/88 the Planning Commission approved a 2725
square foot quick lube center and a 4,000 square foot muffler
business (now a detail shop) in conjunction with the car wash. The
4,000 square foot building was constructed but the other building
was not.
2. This property located at 2 Harbor View Road lies within the C2
District. It is bounded on the north by Harbor View Road and
Portland Glass, on the west by Shelburne Road on the east by a
wholesale/distribution building and on the south by offices and a
light manufacturing use.
3. Access/circulation: Access is provided via a 26 foot curb cut
on Harbor View Road. No access changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 7.1% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 57.5% (maximum allowed is 70%).
Front yard coverage is 20.8% (maximum allowed is 30%).
Setback requirements are met.
5. Parking: A total of 21 parking spaces are required and the
plan shows a total of 43 spaces including two (2) handicapped
spaces. Six (6) additional spaces are available if needed.
6. Traffic: This property is located in Traffic Overlay Zone 5
which permits this property to generate 141 P.M. peak hour trip
ends. The existing uses are estimated to generate 69.5 vehicle
trip ends (vte's) while the proposed use is estimated to generate
12 vte's for a total of 81.5 vte's. The applicant will be required
1
to contribute $308 to the Shelburne Road Intersection Improvement
fund based on the 12 additional trip ends to be generated.
7. Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement,
based on building costs, for this project. The site is currently
well landscaped. No additional landscaping is recommended.
8. Lighting: Exterior lighting consists of eight 250 watt high
pressure sodium lamps mounted on 20 foot poles. These lights have
cut-off luminaries.
9. Sewer: No additional sewer allocation is needed. The 1988
approval allocated 150 gpd for 10 employees. Since only the detail
shop was built which has six (6) employees, allocation is still
available for four (4) employees. The car rental office will have
only three (3) employees.
10. Dumpster: The existing dumpster is shown the plan. It is
proposed to be screened.
