JOSEPH & SUSAN MACK - 54 WESTVIEW DRIVE
FINAL PLAT APPLICATION #SD-08-10
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Joseph & Susan Mack, hereinafter referred to as the applicants, are seeking to amend a
previously approved four (4) lot subdivision. The amendment consists of amending
condition #6 of the Sept. 6, 2005 final plat approval #SD-05-68 to eliminate the
requirement that the house on lot #4 have a residential sprinkler system, 54 Westview
Drive.
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on Tuesday, March 4, 2008.
Joseph Mack was present at the meeting.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and
supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicants are seeking to amend a previously approved four (4) lot subdivision.
The amendment consists of amending condition #6 of the Sept. 6, 2005 final plat
approval #SD-05-68 to eliminate the requirement that the house on lot #4 have a
residential sprinkler system, 54 Westview Drive.
2. The owners of record of the subject property are Joseph & Susan Mack.
3. The subject property is located in the Residential 1 (R1) Zoning District.
4. Previous subdivision of this property required residential sprinkler systems in units
because the private road was below city public road standards. The Fire Chief specified
this as a requirement for those units and for all units accessed by this private drive. In a
memo dated July 1, 2005, the fire chief has stated that this requirement will be continued as
a stipulation to homes built on lot 4.
5. The language in the decision issued by the Board is as follows
6. Any homes built on Lot 4 shall be sprinklered to the satisfaction of the South
Burlington Fire Chief. Home inspection may be required.
6. The Fire Chief has reviewed the applicant's request to amend this condition. He does
not support an amendment and has provided comments in a letter dated February 26,
2008.
