Ray Ploof said the proposal was to construct a house with two apartments in it on a lot with 18,000 so. ft. and 130' of frontage. The lot to be divided into two pieces has an existing house on the south side. i:r. Ploof said there was an apartment complex to the rear of this lot and that no covenants prohibited the use. Mr. Jacob added that this lot was away from others on that street. X.r. Ploof said the house would look like a single family dwelling and that it met all setback requirements. It will fit in with the neighborhood. That street is very long and it was suggested that a lot of traffic on that end of the road wculd not be a good idea unless the cul-de-sac were o ened. It was determined that : the existing house on the lot could be made a duplex and teat there were two other lots on the street which could contain duplexes, for .a total of 4 on t^e entire street. Na. Jacob did not think that many would be built, because of the value of the land in that area. h;r. Poger did not want to see 4 duplexes at that end of the street. Site_,plan revieW,._,x_ vlsed access, parking and circulation for the for=e > at th plain Motors buil corner of Allen and Shelburne Rcads Mr. Xichael Dugan said that the property had two existing curb cuts and that they would like to close both and put in a new 40' wide cut. They would also like to add 11 new parking spaces on the front of the property where the cars used to be displayed. They would also like a new rear access road on the north side next to the Bartlett property. This drive will be a dead-end and will be for access to the rear of the building. Mr. Dugan said they needed the extra spaces to market the building but it was pointed out that the site might have to have some revisions once a tenant went into the building. Mr. Mona said that building used to be a source of controversy in the area because the Commission limited the number of cars which could be displayed and that number was exceeded. It was suggested that the minutes of the last hearings on the building be researched. Mr. -King did not think the Commission could approve the site plan until it knew what business was going into the building. The Commission had no problem with the access around the building or the revised curb cut. Yr. Page wanted to look at the grading for the access* to the rear of the building, noting that some fill would be necessary and that there was not a lot of room between the edge of the pavement and the property line. Mr. ?wing moved to continue the hearing until 2 weeks from tonight, on October 23, 1979 at 7:30 Dm at City Ball. Mr. Mlora seconded the motion. It was suggested that the Fire Chief look at the plan. The motion carried unanimously.

C1er k r-- M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Richard Ward, Zoning Administrative Officer Re: The former Lake Champlain Motors building, Shelburne & Allen Road Date: 10/11/79 Steve Page requested that I research the history of the building in question relating pass action by the Planning Commission. Here goes: In March 1971 a Mr. Donald Brisson requested a zone change in order to establish a business called Roadside Marine. One of the conditions of approval was that there be "no display of boats or any goods outside of the building". In January 1973, a variance was requested for a dual use permitting the sales of automobiles in conjunction with boats. The Planning Commission waived the stipulation regarding no outside display. Automobile display was allowed. The wording of the stipulation was "that a temporary dual use be allowed and display of new cars on the upper level by allowed" (a maximum of ten (10) cars only) The 1974 zoning regulations, Section 11.702 provides that not more than 50% of the area of the required front yard shall be uscd for driveways and parking and the balance shall be suitably landscaped and maintained in good appearance. The building is presently in a non -conforming status - in order to occupy the building as a retail establishment more parking is required. Use of the front yard is mandatory. The plan submitted by Mr. Farrell shows no landscaping with- in the front yard (Shelburne Roadside of the property). Should the Commission consider approval of the new parking plan - additional landscaping should be installed and bonding would be appropriate. The Fire Chief has reviewed the plan, his comments are favorable. Hydrant located in front of building, new curb opening provides good access. In my opinion, the "new rear access road" northerly of the building will cause drainage problems to the adjoining property, it will provide an area to store dumpster and trash containers. Access is poor requiring backing of vehicles in or out. Two large trees will require removal. I suggest approval of the new parking area with additional front yard landscaping and denial of the rear access road. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: Stephen Page, former Planner Re: Next Meeting's Agenda Items Date: 10/5/79 #2 Business Park North Resubdivision There are no substantive issues to be resolved, and no changes to the plan since you last saw it. #:5 Spafford Subdivision (now called "Brookwood") The plan has been revised to satisfy the conditions of preliminary plat approval, a draft of the convenants has been approved by Dick Spokes which will preserve the important concept of building envelopes. I have a list of minor modifications which pertain to the legal do cuments and can be in- corporated into a motion of approval. #4 Vermont Broadcasting Subdivision All is O.K. #5 Nowland Subdivision I suggest the final plat carry the notation, "Reserved for Future City Street", immediately south of lot #2, to make it perfectly clear to the lot buyer where access to the balance of the land should be located, and where the potential east -west street may go. #6 1 lot subdivision at 162 East Terrace The division of a 1 + acre lot, is proposed to create a.6 acre lot with an existing dwelling on it, and a .4 acre lot (large enough for a duplex). All City services are at the site. The existing dwelling should be plotted on the plan to insure that the new dividing line does not create any non -conforming situations. #7 Site Plan Review, Plywood Ranch The applicant has agreed to improve screening and revise landscaping. The re- visions to the plan will be presented at the meeting. #8 Site Plan Review for former Lake Champlain Motors buildi The building's owners wish to obtain site plan approval for revisions to existing access, parking, and circulation, to serve a future tenant who is as yet un- determined. I assume this is'being done to improve the marketability' of the proposal. Access is substantially improved, through the closing of two old curb cuts on Allen Road, and the installation of a new one farther away from Shelburne Road. Parking is being increased to a total of 42 spaces; circulation is sufficient, although I question the _advisability of the dead end service road to the north of the building. Also, the grading plan doesn't make it clear whether or not fill or surface water will be diverted-tb the adjoining property to the north. In any event, there should be a site plan review of this property when a particular client has been found.
