for eight (8) units, 1940 Spear Street,
The Development Review Board held a public hearing an Tuesday, May 1, 2018. Daniel Hell 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 project consists of amending a previously approved planned unit development consisting of
revising footprint lots for eight (8) units, 1840 Spear Street.
2. The owner of record of the subject properties is South Village Communities LLC.
3. The application was received on March 23, 2018,
4. The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Zoning District.
5. The plan submitted consists of a five (5) page set of plans, drawing number P2 is entitled "Phase 2
Lotting Plat South Village Communities, LLC Spear Street South Burlington, Vermont,' prepared by Civil
Engineering Associates, Inc., dated October 31, 2013, and last revised 06/D9/2017.
6. The applicant previously obtained approval from the DRB for the creation of the eight (8) footprint lots
in December 2014 (cf. #SD-14-33).
7. The applicant previously obtained approval from the DRB for the adjustment of these eight (8) footprint
lots on September 5, 2017. The applicant allowed the approval to become null and void due to not
recording the final plat within 180 days of approval.
8. Condition 26 of approval #SD-17-18 states the following:
Prior to or coincident with submittalfor a site plan or final plat approval for any unassigned lots
within the South Village PUD that is the subject of master plan approval #MP-04-01 and #MP-05-
02, as amended, the applicanVproperty ownermust submit an overall affordability plan consistent
with Section 18,02. For the purposes of this condition,, the unassigned lets are Lots 4, 11 and 11A
in Phase I as shown on the plans associated with site plan approval #SP-15-09 and the lot south of
Preserve Road identified as "Open Space 1.92 Acres (Reserved for Future Development)' on the
plans associated with subdivision approval #SD-16-08, as well as any other lot for which a change
in the number of units on the most recent approved site plan is proposed
This application does not address the unassigned lots that are the subject of condition 26 of #SD-17-18
therefore no affordability plan is required at this time.
Dimensional Standards:
The applicant proposes to amend the depth of six of the previously approved footprint lot lines, and the
alignment of the side of all eight previously approved footprint lot tines previously approved in this
subdivision. This action would create non -conforming lots (being of insufficient individual size, and
having zero setbacks, and no road frontage) and therefore will not be considered indiv[dual lots for the
LDRs. For purposes of the LDRs, footprint lots 22N, 23N, 58N, 59N 62N and 63N shall be considered one
lot with the other footprint lots located on Parcel C. Footprint lots 28N and 29N shall be considered one
lot with the other footprint lots located on Parcel D. 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.
