Very truly,
Richard Ward,
Zoning Administrative Officer
te,
To: :South Burlington Zarting Board of AdJust went
From: C nthia and Robert Hoehl % 1555 spear Street
Date: 5 Y 22 0 89
Regarding: Appeal of 2oninq Ad.ninistrators decision regarding
Section. 13.112 (height restriction) on single family home in R1
district;.
BASIS OF APPEAL:
1. From 1982 to 1988 section 18.112 was interpreted one
way. A way that would allow us to build our chunneys. Then in
1988 during our hearings before the City Council to secure a
building permit the City Attorney began interpreting it
differently. Our case was the very first din May of 1988) that
the new interpretation was applied to. See also page i of
Planning Commission Minutes 9E5/89 comments by Mr Ward.
The fact that the ordinance was interpreted one way for a
long period of time and tn�en ,another based solely on
interpretation, and not a change in the definition, indicates
ambiguity (also see (Planning Cdanr:aemi.ssion comments 'below). Under
Vermont 'Mate Law% any am.oigu.ity in a zoning ordinance should be
construed against the adopting municipality and in favor of the
landowner. Accordingly the least restrictive interpretation
should apply. The Vermont Supreme Court has stated:
"Zoning lames which curtail and limit the use o-F real
property must be given strict construction. since they
are in derogation of common law rights, and provisions
thereof may ;.-Iot be extended by imolication..Any
ambiguity or uncertainty Faust be decided in favor of
the property; owner."'
Murphy Motor Sales, Inc. v. First National Bank of 'St..
Johnsbury, 122 'art. 121 , 122-1.24 (Ig60) .
The Zoning board, The Planning Commission, and the City Council
all believe that something must be done about the ordinance.
2. Our request for building permit was =_un mitted an 4/12/88
sic days prior to the passage of zoning revisions that added
."roof top apparatus" to the measurement and two months prior to
the _nstitution of the new interpretation of the height
- asurement .
�. The current interpretations of the height restriction was
not the intent of the originators of the ordinance. See History
below. _All surrounding towns address the issue of sloppino
terrain. I believe South Buriin ton intended the same anj
appi.ec it accdrdingly until '-lay _ v8. See history below and
attached or:9inanc-e from surrounding to qns.
4. Zoning Board of Adjustment. It is my understanding that
one of the puroose-s of t°�e 20niqg 33oard of Adjustment is to do
just that, to remake ad.justraments, in circumstances where the law is
not working in the manner intended. I believe it is clear from
all the neetinns of the Com-Mi=_sicns and Boards of South
Burlington that I have attended }`na+t the current interpretation
is not apple;innq the law as intended, Bee below.
5. The current interpretation of ..Maximum vert cie height"
is not a correct interpretation of the law as worded. The key
word here is vertical. Because of the slopping land there is not
a single Dar` - -�.' w_� r:'_ �u i' 'g -e a�u.3es �� �'lixt {Z�`i5 +hat
exceeds 35 feet vertically from the finished grade. ?re`c•srrenz
interpretation requires a statement of "Projected" height or a
statement of lowest and highest elevations. Neighther of the
above descriptions are contained in the ordenence. Vertical
means straight jD =no down. If •;sou draw a line straight up from
the lowest gr add o * air house to he highest point above that
grade or from the highest point of the proposed chin. neys to the
grade beneath it both measurements are within the 35 foot height
restriction. See diagrams attached.
HISTORY:
1,,15� 82: South Burlington Planning Commission submitted a
draft of the South Burlington Zoning Ordinance to the Cite
Council. That draft contained the following provision relating
to heich t:
As applied to a structure, the vertical distance
measured frs m the finished grade to tr,e peak of the
roof. Where a structure is located on sloping terrain,
the height may be .measured from the average ground
level along the wall of the structure.
.Coning Ordinance, .:pan 51 1582, Dace '77, 22.109
3,115182: City Council Minutes: "Mr Spitz said the new
proposed tieight .would be measured from. the average contour of the
l arnd . "" -

i'tor ei 3 C ?e :ar" to _.-",,erted. so, `11.3t "ine rr i rs11 sentence shall
read: As applied to a structure, t-he maximum ver-.- a[ -Ji`stan=e
measured from the finished grade to the peak of the roof. The
reference to 'first sentence" indicates the presence of a second
which did not make it into the final ordinance. Sae below.
12iB2: City Council passed the foliowir:.g wording:
Height as applied to a structure, the maximum
vertical distance measured foram the finished grade to
the ,peak of the roof.
1 have read every one of the Cit.,- Council <minu}es from .Ian 1?-98
thru Dec 1988 and wi-ere is not a single word about taking the
seconnd sentence out_ Given that the ordinance was interpreted as
though the second sentence Aas there fro-: P792 until May of 1988
1 believe it was inadvertently :dropped.
411.122 89 We applied for our building par-mi t.
4 18r89 Roof 'top apparatus added to Zoning ordinance.
5; 89: As a part of o•ur hear 4 --gs before the City Council to
secure a building permit to ouild our house the City Attorney
determined that we could not be granted a building permit because
our house was too tail. This was hard for us to relieve because
due to deed restrictions on height our house was designed with a
7d12 roof pitch rather that the nor-eal 12112 and that our
architects who had designed several other homes, only a block
from ours, shad been advised by the :mooning administrator and were
operating on the interpretation that had been used since 1982.
10/24%2E3 coning Board granted a variance to Brian Lloyd
under he exact same circumstances as ours. The reasons riven
are all 100% applicable to our situation. 'See attacheo rope Ot
Zoning Board decision.
6�10/99 The zoning Board turned down our request for a
variance because it was felt that variances should not be granted
to comoen•sate for an ill constructed ordinance, and that the
planning commission should undertake to fix it. This was the
net of a speech by David Bohem that resulted in a 3 to 2 vote in
,favor with 4 votes being required.
9/5/89 (Planning Commission meeting: "Members agreed on the
need to change the wording of the regulation." There was
unanimous agreement that the current interpretation was not what
was intended and that the Nording of the ordinance was
"ambiguous (the quote was by Bill Creia but all appeared to
agree:).
Additional Comments:
I. The land is heavily slopped to the west to such a degree
that the oracle at the front of the house is a full story higher
than the rear of the house. A walk out basement is the natural
way to avoid enormous amounts o-* fill as well as take advantace
of the view of the lake and :mountains from the basement fam i l v
room.
2. It is not possible under the current interpretation of
the 357 height restrictions that a two story house with a walk
out basement and a central chimnev can he constructed. With a
sloping lot and the tact that the vast majority of homes in the
area are two story we believe this kind of house is reasonable.
3. There are at least 5 homes an the next block, south of
ours, :where tfte, have walk out basements and chimneys. These
homes viere erected) prior to the new interpretation. Additionally
a Mr. Brian Lloyd recently received a variance for his home in
the abo-e mentioned neighborhood under almost identical
circumstances. Our chimneys will not detract from the view from
Spear :street or the City Overlock ?ark and the walk ,our basement,
becaunse of how we have filled, is .not visible froze the read.
CITY COUNCIL HARC 115, 1982
Mr. Farrar wondered if a lot 80' wide was large enough to allow for
the things people add to their homes, such as gara,-es. '`.r. Spitz said a
10' side yard was being suggested, which would allow 60' for the house and
any additions. Mr. Farrar asked about only allowing single family homes in
certain zones as a way to encourage them, but Mr. :)pitz said that had been
discussed and it had been felt that it would be better to let economics
dictate what would be built. Mr. Farrar felt it might be better to plan for
the type of community the city wanted rather than allow the community to
develop the way it will if it is not planned.
Number 8 in Mr. Spitz' memo deals with mixed uses. lie said there were
some uses which could co -exist with others.
Number 9 was setbacks from major roads. The proposal is to measure
setbacks from the edge of the proposed ri ht of way. :sir. Farrar asked how
that would be determined - what legal document would be used to fix the
location from which to measure. Mir. Spitz said the tax maps could be used.
Kr. Farrar felt the city had to be careful to define precisely where the
measurement would be taken, although he did not object to the concept.
Mr. Spitz noted that the existing commercial setback of 75' had been
reduced to 50'. This will encourage parking behind the building and green
space in front.
Number 10 deals with height limits. The feeling of the Commission was
that buildings taller than 2 112 stories could be allowed in the city under
certain conditions. Planning Commission Chairman Poger noted that thone
conditions included topography, not obstructing views, and allowing more
green space. It was felt that topography could be used for more imaginative
architecture. idr. Farrar felt this provision would totally change the character
of the community, but 111r. Poger noted that it was not a blanket approval.
Commission member Ewing stated that he did not like the idea of building
taller buildings in the city until the city had building codes in place. I:r.
Farrell felt, however, that with taller buildings came more hate regulations,
and taller buildings would be built with better materials and would be safe.
Mr. Krassner felt tall buildings would overshadow residential areas. Mr.
Schuele also felt 2 112 story buildings were tall enough. Mr. Farrar pointed
out that there were already some buildings in the city which had 3 stories,
at least on one side. Mir. Spitz said the_ new proposed height_would be measured
from the average contour of_ land.
7, _Spitz noted that there had been changes .made in general provisions.
P,arking.spaces for multi -family units have been increased, and requirements
for parking for office space have been decreased. Parking space size has
also been changed from 10' x 16' to 9' x 18'.
The public hearing on the zoning ordinance will be held April 5. Nr.
Spitz noted ,that a proposal for development of a large parcel of land in the
southeast quadrant would be coming before the Council. It was noted that
the Council could not meet on March 29th because they would not have a quorum,
so this would have to be delayed until April 12 or 19. Mr. Farrar asked that
the city be sure to proceed legally on this.
Continue discussion on proposed 1982-83 budget
Mr. Farrar said there were three items left to decide. The first is the
proposed skating facility. Mr. O'Neill passed out copies of a budget for
operation of the proposed rink and a schedule of responsibilities. Ee said
he had put these together by researching minutes of meetings where this issue
was discussed.
2. `1
CITY COUNCIL AUGUST 2, 1982
Mr. Perry showed pictures of the site from the locations it can be seen.
He said the building would be most visible from when a person drove in or
parked, and from those areas, it would be a two story building. The 42' height
can only be seen when the leaves are off the trees and from certain locations,
until the plantings mature.
If the building were to be expanded, another "cube" could be added to
the northwest corner.
Mr. Dore noted that Gr:P did not want to plan for any potential expansion
in this building, but that he had left an area for them to do so, if they
decided to in the future. If the expansion were put in, the same elevation
would be maintained.
Mr. Dore said there was a lot of flexibility built into the building for
mechanical equipment because GMP wants the building to be an energy showpiece
for a long time ahead. They will want to try new systems out here, and to do
that they need a lot of duct space for electrical and mechanical equipment.
They also have a lot of heavy steel beams and the ceilings will be 916" high,
so the floor to floor dimension will be 13'6". There will be no heating or
cooling equipment on the roof - just a skylight over the stairway 2' high, in
the middle of the roof. It will not be visible because there will be a 2'
high parapet on the building, and .that is counted in the overall height.
Mr. Krassner asked about sinking the building into the ground more, and
was told that cannot be done, because of the soils. There is 20' of silty sand
and below that a watery clay. The entire building will be built on piles, and
to go down more would mean the first floor would be in the clay, and there would
be a water table problem.
a
�t The Council looked at a scale model of the building.
Mr. Farrar asked how, under the present zoning regulations, the building
height was determined. Mr. Spitz said the ordinance did not define the height.
In the past the interpretation has been from finished grade to average height.
The maximum height of this building is 42' and the average is about 38'. The
definition in the new ordinance is from finished grade and it is average height.
It was noted that the request was thus for a 3' variance. �- —
Mr. Schuele commented that in the past, the citizens had opposed raising
height limits in the city. He was concerned that coming in with a variance
request before the Council decision on new height limits in the city had been
made was a way of "beating the system". He asked the Council to=consider the
concerns of the citizens in the past. Ms. Lansing shared the concerns expressed.
Mr. Poger felt that the Planning Commission had laid out certain criteria, and
he felt this was a very good example of what they were talking about. He felt
that if the Council granted this variance, they would be committing themselves
to supporting this section of the ordinance.
Mr. Krassner did not like using an average height, feeling a maximum would
be better.
Mr. Schuele wondered if the building at the corner of Williston Road and
Kennedy Drive had been built in violation of the height restrictions. He was
told it had never been served with any violation papers.
Mr. Perry noted that if they moved the building to the flat area, it
would be much more visible than it would in the proposed area. He did not
feel the building would show up as a large mass, because of the staggered
walls. He added that the lot was very large and the building quite small in
comparison.
Mr. Dore said part of the reason for a 35' height limit was because of
fire equipment limitations, but that this building was easily reached for that.
Mr. Perry felt this was not a variance request, but was rather a conditional
use approval.

CITY COUNCIL
AUGUST 2. 1982
Mr. Burgess noted that if the building were moved to the flat area and
made two stories only, the visual impact would be the same as it would be as
the building is now proposed, from a height point of view. The mass would be
larger with the two story building, though. 'With either plan, the roof would
be on the same elevation level.
Mr. Farrar suggested that the Council discuss Section 19.112 in the
proposed new zoning ordinance, to see if they wanted to make modifications to
it. He asked if Mr. Marvin wanted to take part in this discussion, but was
told he would rather not.
Mr. Farrar felt some thought should be given to how building height would
be determined in the new ordinance. He felt that with some design flexibility,
there were some improvements which could be made over what could be done withini
rigid guidelines, and he thought there was some merit in some of the
Planning Commission proposals.
Mr. Spitz said the definition of height was on page 77 of the proposal.
It is measured..from the average ground level. Mr. Farrar said the wording would
allow a building with an average�heigh 0T--50' to have a 55-60' exposure, and
he had a problem with that. He asked what determined a story in a building an
was told it was an occupied area or a full basement. The proposal would allow
a building 50' tall or 4 stories, regardless of whether the stories are underground
or above ground level. Neither restriction can be exceeded. Mr. Burgess felt
the legality of that should be checked.
Mr. Farrar asked the purpose of the restrictions. He was told that they were
for ease in fire protection, esthetics, and restriction of the intensity of use
of a lot, although it was pointed out that that can be done better through
restrictions on the square footage.
Mr. Farrar did not like the 50' and 4 stories provisions in the ordinance,
unless the 50' was a maximum, not an average. Mr. Poger felt the ordinance was
written for sloping areas and that the average was a way of dealing with the
slopes.
Mr. Flaherty felt the Commission should be given flexibility to deal with
specific situations. He felt the 35' height had been an arbitrary figure,
although he was uncomfortable with a 50.' height. Mr. Burgess did not like the
fact that the 50' height could become 60' on some sides of a building. He
felt the 50' should be a maximum, not an average. Mr. Poger suggested changing
the definition, not the ordinance, to make that a maximum. Ms. Lansing agreed
that 50' was too high, and that a maximum instead of an average should be used.
Mr. Farrar asked if the members agreed the Commission s-hould-be a71-owe-d
some flexibility in this area and was told they did.
Mr. Farrar felt the proposed building would not be a major departure from
the present zoning ordinance requirements. He said the building could be left
as is and a berm built up around it, and it would conform, but not look as good.
Mr. Burgess asked if 42' included everything - air conditioning units,
solar panels, etc. and was told it did. j
Mr. Burgess moved that the Council grant the height variance and approve
the plan of QZeen.Mquntainw oe.r� or a new office ui ing on reen

wise to include the State Charter in the wording. Mr. Spitz
said he would check on this.
Concerning the length of site plan approvals, Sect. 21.302, it
was noted that with long delays in beginning of construction,
six months might be too short a time. Mr. Spitz indicated that
in bases where a site plan should have a longer duration, this
would seem to be covered by the last sentence. In other in-
stances, all one would have to do is to reapply. Mr. McConaughy
commented that it might be a difference between granting an
extension and granting a new approval should an appeal be filed.
Mr. Spitz indicated he would check on this with the City Attorney.

Champlain Housing Development Corp. wants to hold a site
visit to the recently completed Salmon Run housing project.
They are interested in doing an affordable rental housing
project in S. Burlington. The visit will be the morning of

b. Mr. Weith advised that Mr. Dinklage had spoken to him
about affordable housing and felt the Commission should
really start looking in detail at the issue. He suggested the
Commission come up with a definition of affordable housing
for South Burlington and also suggested forming a task force.
c. Members agreed that subdivision review was not needed for
the road widening in front of Holiday Inn.

for construction of an 18 unit planned residential
development on a 4.4 acre parcel of land, Holmes Road east
of Shelburne Road
PLANNING COMMISSION
5 SEPTEMBER 1989

Mr. Llewellyn said they received preliminary approval on 11
July. This is the same plan with the 21 stipulation from
the previously approval now addressed. Mr. Weith said his
only suggested is that trees to be saved should be so noted
as they will be used for the $7500 landscaping credit. Mr.
Craig raised the question of no parking on only one side of
the road. He understood there was to be no parking on the
street at all, per the new public/private road policy. Mr.
Blodgett said he did not mind putting no parking signs on
both side of the street.
Ms. Peacock moved the Planning Commission approve the Final
Plat application of Dennis Blodgett for construction of an
18 unit planned residential development as depicted on a 7
page set of plans titled "Blodgett Property Development,
Overall Site Plan," prepared by Fitzpatrick -Llewellyn, Inc,
and dated May, 1989, last revised 8/16/89, with the followL
stipulations:
1. The applicant shall ipost a $20,500, 3-year landscaping
bond prior to permit. The Commission grants a $7500 credit
for the existing trees within the private loop and the 25
foot undisturbed buffer strip. The plan shall be revised to
indicate as "to be saved" those trees within the private
loop which have been identified and plotted on the plan. The
trees to be saved shall be surrounded by a snowfence to
protect them during construction.
2. Street lights shall be installed prior to the sale of
units.
3. A bond in an amount to be determined by the City Engineer
for the new street, sewer, water and sidewalk shall be posted

expansion of the use.
4. Discussion of Section 18.112, "Height of Structures," of
the South Burlington Zoning Regulations
Mr. Weith said the question is what the Commissiion wants to
accomplish with the height regulations. Mr. Belter mentioned
fire protection. Ms. Peacock mentioned aesthetics. Mr.
Burgess noted- this__has_been a_major problem. Mr. Craig said
he would like to see how BOCA calculates height. Mr. Hoehl
said under BOCA, the height is never more than 35 ft. from
any grade. Mr. Jacob questioned whether there should be
special rules for residential and commercial. Mr. Burgess
said he would like them measured the same way even if they

Members agreed on the need to change the wording of then

wordings and will warn a public hearing for the change.
Discussion of prop
oject_in Burlington
sed Red Rocks condominium develo-
nt
Mr. Weith said he believed the plan has gotten preliminary
approval. Mr. Walcoff who lives in Phase II of the project
said there was a question of whether the plan should have to
go back to Act 250 because the approved plan has been
changed.
Mr. Weith said the project was approved in 1976 in 3 phases,
2 of which are built. THere are 82 units proposed in phase
3. The developer willneed a permit extension from Act. 250.
The S. Burlington Red Rocks Park Commission wants a fence
around the boundary if it can be done without removing trees.
Mr. Walcoff noted there is also a runoff problem.
The Commission felt that at the least there should be a fence
and endorsed the 4 points in the letter from the Red Rocks
Park Advisory Committee.
6. Discussion of recent UVM Master Plan Update
Ms. Falcone said that the proposed parking behind the
Sheraton is the only project that affects S. Burlington. She
said there is a committee looking into parking for the whole
hill section as well as a parking deck behind Waterman and
satellite parking near Gutterson Field House. Mr. Jacob
asked if cars can be limited to juniors and seniors. Ms.
Falcone said no. Mr. Belter asked if the Sheraton parking is
in the same lot used by the Sheraton for density. Mr. Weith
said it is not. Mr. Burgess noted that UVM had said
absolutely not to an access on East Avenue, and now that is
exactly what they are doing. Ms. Falcone noted the Sheraton
can also use that access and will be able to use the UVM
parking lot at night.
Mr. Jacob asked when the bridge on Main St. is planned. Ms.
Falcone said it is slated for 1997 but the hope is to get it
through in the next few years.
As there was no further business to come before the Com-
mission, the meeting adjourned at 9:40 pm.

Dear Bob and Cynthia:
FILE COPY
Regarding your house design with respect to the South Burlington
zoning height regulations:
The regulations state that the maximum height shall be 35 feet,
or 2 1/2 stories, and as applied to a structure, this is the
"maximum vertical distance measured from the finished grade to
the peak of the roof." Since the wording does not take into
account a varying grade, such as on a sloping site, we have
always kept our designs a maximum of 35' from the highest point
vertically to the corresponding finished grade on the slope.
In our experience, while zoning regulations may vary
considerably from town to town, there is no case that we know of
where the height of the structure on a sloping site is
determined by measuring the projected distance from the lowest
elevation of the grade at the structure to the highest point of
the structure. Indeed, South Burlington cannot have been using
this method to determine allowable height because there are
several houses built recently near your site which would violate
the regulations if measured this way. In general, any full 2
story house with a walk -out basement on the downhill side and a
roof pitch of more than 6" in 12" would have to violate the
height restrictions if measured from basement floor to top of
roof. I am sure there are many such houses recently built in
South Burlington.
If we measure the vertical distance from the proposed finish
grade up to the top of the chimney of your house, as shown on
the North Elevation on Sheet A7, we see it is exactly 35',
which, in fact, is how we established the height of the chimney!

In any case, I am told that at least two homeowners have been
instructed by the town to measure their heights in a manner
similar to the method we have used for your house.
Incidentally, the inclusion of chimneys in the height
restriction requires rewording for clarification of the zoning
regulations. I was under the impression that a public vote is
required for any such change or addition.
From an aesthetic standpoint, if the requirement becomes to
measure the projected distance from lowest grade to highest
point of structure, anyone like yourself who wants a full 2
story house with walk -out basement will have to build a (latish
roof, which on a traditional house design probably seems rather
out of place. Most important, either interpretation of the
regulation will not require you to lower your roof ridge; the
only consequence is that you may not be able to have a walk -out
basement. Thus, the "projected distance" method of measuring
height will not affect the visual impact of your house one iota!
Here also is the wording of several other towns' height
regulations --as I say, we have never run into a situation like
yours where the most extreme elevation differences are used to
determine the height: an average or vertical measurement is
always used, in our experience.
Montpelier: 45 feet or 3 stories. Zoning Administrator
interprets this to mean height from average grade to highest
point of building including chimneys.
Shelburne: 35 feet. Vertical distance measured from average
elevation of the proposed finish grade to the higher point of
the structure.
Waitsfield: 35 feet except operating farm silos to a height of
75 feet measured from the finished grade at the foundation to
the highest point of the building --Zoning Administrator
interprets this to mean average grade on a sloping site.
Colchester: 30 feet or 2 1/2 stories. On sloping terrain, the
vertical distance measured from the average ground level of the
grade at the building to the average height between eaves and
ridge for gable roofs.

Robert and Cynthia Hoehl

In summation, I think the most important thing here is that the
most extreme interpretation of the South Burlington regulations
will not require you to lower your roof, only to eliminate the
walk -out at the basement, which greatly affects your use of the
house but does not at all affect the visual impact of the house
on the neighborhood. Since other owners have not been required
to meet the regulations in this way, I think this is very unfair
to you.
