Te- tj 4 MEMORANDUM TO: SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: BILL WESSEL, CHAIRMAN RE: RAYMOND UNSWORTH SUBDIVISION APPLICATION DATE: SEPTEMBER 12, 1975 I have conferred with Dick Spokes, Dick Ward and Steve Page regarding the issues raised at the last Planning Commission meeting in conjunction with the Unsworth Sub- division Applicat'on. From a legal standpoint, Dick Spokes indicated that approval of the subdivision as shown would indeed create a non -conforming lot; however, such a lot could be rendered conforming by the Planning Commission's approval of a right-of-way at least 20 feet wide. If the Planning Commission were to require a right-of-way 60' wide, this, too, could be justified on the grounds that future development of the remaining interior land may call for the upgrading of the right-of-way to city road standards. After discussing adjacent land use and parcel configurations, the conclusion was reached that the most desirable situation for all parties concerned would be the predication of an approval on the following points: 1) Spear Street curb cut allowed for the northerly 1 acre lot, 2) curb cut on the southerly lot to be off the proposed right-of-way strip, and 3) the proposed right-of-way approved as is, provided that, if any development or subdivision of the remaining interior land is to take place in the future, that this right-of-way be upgraded to city road standards.

These two 1 acre lots are both on City wat- er and sewer and fulfill all of the requirements of the cur- rent Zoning laws. The southern lot, however, has a restric- tion which we feel is unwarranted - in that access directly to the Street has been denied. There have been many instances where people have wished to purchase this lot, have put money with agents as a deposit and have later demanded that their deposit money be returned upon learning that they could not have their driveway on Spear Street as all others in the neighborhood from the Univ- ersity to the Town line have. These lost sales have resulted in substantial hardship and I sincerely request that this inappropriate restriction be withdrawn. This restriction definitely runs counter to all concepts of good planning as well as ecological and environmental criteria. In today's world, houses should be sited so that the large win- dows permit solar heating from the south and, with this partic- ular unfortunate restriction, only the garage can be placed on the south of a planned house. Please consider this letter a formal petition to delete this one restriction. Respectfully submitted, Ray2nd R.

SUBDIVISION APPLICATION OF RAYMOND UNSWORTH, 1700 SPEAR STREET DATE: SEPTEMBER 57 1975 proposal is a three lot division of a parcel of land located on the easterly side of Spear Street, at #1700. The parcel in question contains twenty-nine point two (29.2) acres, and is presently occupied by a single family unit owned by the applicant. The parcel contains 1+37 foot frontage on Spear Street and ;z o is located in the R1 and AR Districts. The R1 District parallels Spear Street a depth of 500 feet the remaining °. land is in AR District. qqv Proposed by Mr. Unsworth is the setting off of two one acre lots and the remaining twenty sever: will be retained by IMAr. Unsworth and served by sixty foot frontage on Spear Street. The two one acre lots are in conformance with the dimensional requirements of the R1 District, however, the twenty-seven acre lot will be non -conforming due to the minimum frontage requirement (R-1 District provides for a minimum of 120 feet). The soil in this area is Vergennes clay and has a percolation rate of 45-50 min./in., the site is generally flat in the area of the two one acre lots. It is possible to serve the lots with city water, however, they will require on site sewer systems. Re: Re -subdivision aDDlication of Vermont Broadcastin Corp., Mr. Frank Balch History of pre-existing subdivision. The southerly side of Joy Drive was divided into eight lots in the late 1960's. Lot 9 located northerly of the Court Club received approval by the Planning Commission in December, 1974, the northerly pare 2 t� side of Joy Drive containing approximately six acres has never been subdivided. The proposed lot #10 contains the minimum square footage required within the Business planned Development District, lot {#10 is located on the north-east side of Joy Drive and Farrell Road, four acres will remain undeveloped, this acreage is all located on the northerly side of Joy Drive and has frontage thereon. The soils on the site are Enosburg and dhately (sandy, loamy mixture). This lot slopes toward the east. A recreation facility is proposed for this site. The lot will be served with City water and sewer.
