COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN ° O� J
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of Leland and Patricia Calkins
for parking and coverage changes on a lot currently used for
wholesale distribution, 3 Calkins Court.
On the loth of August, 1993 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Leland and Patricia Calkins for
site plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of expanding the parking area, adding a
sidewalk and relocating the main entry to a building used for
wholesale distribution.
2. This property located at 3 Calkins Court lies within the IC
District. It is bounded on the south by an office building, on the
west by Calkins Court, on the east by a multiple use commercial
building and on the north by a burial vault manufacturer.
3. Access/circulation: The main access is via a shared curb cut
on Calkins Court with a 22 foot access drive. A secondary access
to the rear of the building is provided by a 28 foot curb cut also
on Calkins Court. An unpaved drive connects the rear access drive
to the adjoining lot to the north. No access changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 15.4% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 39.9% (maximum allowed is 70%).
Front yard coverage is 22% (maximum allowed is 30%).
Setback requirements are met.
5. Parking: The current use requires a total of five (5) parking
spaces and five (5) are shown on the plan.
6. Landscaping: The applicant is proposing $1734 in landscaping.
This will greatly improve the appearance of the property since
there is currently no landscaping on the property.
7. Sewer: No additional allocation needed.
8. Dumpster: The dumpster is shown on the plan and it will be
screened with some Arborvitae plantings.

9. Other: Staff has observed some outside storage at the rear of
the building which has not been approved. All outside storage
should either be eliminated or approval obtained.
