FINAL PLAT APPLICATION #SD-14-19
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Sterling Construction, Inc. et. al., hereinafter referred to as the applicants, are seeking approval
for final plat application #SD-14-19 of Sterling Construction for approval of seven (7) footprint
lots, 6, 10 & 14 E. Fisher Lane, 4 & 8 W. Fisher Lane and 139, 143 South Jefferson Road.
Lot 13 becomes lots 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3; lot 18 becomes lots 18.1 and 18.2; and lot 46 becomes
lots 46.1 and 46.2, as shown on the "Plat of Survey" for each lot.
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on July 15, 2014. Robin Jeffers
represented the applicant.
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 amendment consists of creating seven "footprint lots", subdividing three previously
approved lots, with one (1) lot for each dwelling unit. Lot 13 becomes lots 13.1, 13.2, and 13.3;
lot 18 becomes lots 18.1 and 18.2; and lot 46 becomes lots 46.1 and 46.2, all as shown on the
"Plat of Survey" for each lot.
2. The owners of record of the subject properties are: lots 13 and 46: Sterling Construction; lot
18.1: Fred Westerfeld; lot 18.2: Wendell & Martha Davis.
3. The application was received on May 30, 2014.
4. The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Zoning subdistrict.
5. The plans submitted are entitled "Plat of Survey Lot 13 Townhouses South Village 6, 10, & 14
West Fisher Lane", dated May 16, 2014; "Plat of Survey Lot 18 Townhouses South Village 4 & 8
West Fisher Lane", dated March 10, 2014; and "Plat of Survey Lot 46 Townhouses South Village
139 & 143 Madison Lane", dated May 20, 2014; all prepared by Civil Engineering Associates, Inc.
Dimensional Standards:
The applicant proposes to create lot lines in between the individual dwelling units and including
front and year yard areas with each dwelling unit previously approved in this subdivision. This
action would create non -conforming lots (being of insufficient individual size, and having zero
#SD-14-19
setback in between each unit on a lot) and therefore will not be considered individual lots for
the LDRs. For purposes of the LDRs, the seven lots included in this proposal shall be considered
the three lots (Lots 13, 18, and 46) as approved previously. The applicant will be required to
record a "Notice of Condition" to this effect which has been approved by the City Attorney prior
to recording the final plat plan.

submitted to the Administrative Officer prior to recording the plats.

surveyor.
4. For purposes of the LDRs, all seven lots included in this subdivision shall be considered three
lots as approved previously (lots 13, 18, and 46). The applicants shall record a "Notice of
Condition" to this effect which has been approved by the City Attorney prior to recording
the final plat plans.
5. Any changes to the final plat plans shall require approval of the South Burlington
Development Review Board.
6. The final plat plans (survey plats) shall be recorded in the land records within 180 days or
