Re: Findings of Fact, application of Brad Rabinowitz to amend a
previously approved site plan by revising the parking layout and
making other minor modifications, 8 Calkins Court.
On the 25th of October, 1994, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Brad Rabinowitz for site plan
review under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning
Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a site plan approved on
5/11/93 by revising the parking layout and making other minor
modifications. Staff discovered that the site was developed in a
manner which differs from the approved plan and requested that an
amended plan be submitted for review. The site is developed with
an animal hospital.
2. This property located at 8 Calkins Court lies within the Mixed
Industrial Commercial District. It is bounded on the north by
airport property, on the east by a burial vault business and the
Calkins Court cul-de-sac, on the south by Twin State Electric, and
on the west by the Economy Inn motel.
3. Access/circulation: Access is via a 20 foot curb cut on
Calkins Court. No changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 6.1% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 19% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front
yard coverage is 17.7% (maximum allowed is 30%).
Setback requirements are met.
5. Parking: This project requires a total of 26 parking spaces
and the plan shows 28 spaces including two (2) handicapped spaces.
Site conditions have 10 spaces along the westerly row of parking
and the site plan shows nine (9) spaces at this location. Plan
should be revised to accurately depict proposed conditions.
6. Landscaping: Not affected.
7. Traffic: Not affected.
8. Dumpster: The dumpster storage area is now enclosed instead of
screened with a fence as previously approved.

9. Lighting: The number of 150 watt high pressure sodium lamps on

building mounted fixtures were added since the previous approval.
