AMAND This matter came before the South Burlington Development Review Board pursuant to the provisions of 24 VSA 4468 on application of Michael Dugan & Marie St. Amand, hereinafter "Applicants" for approval of a use variance, and pursuant to Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations for site plan review, for a project described as the razing of a 1020 square foot general office building and the construction of a 4320 square foot warehouse building, 46 Swift Street. The Applicants were present at the public hearing held relative to this application. Based on the evidence submitted at the hearing and as part of the application, the Development Review Board hereby renders the following decision on this application: FINDINGS OF FACT 1) The owner of record of this particular property is Marie St. Amand. 2) This property is located in the C1 and C.O. Districts. 3) The warehouse use sought by the applicant is neither a permitted nor conditional use in the C1 or C.O. Districts. 4) The property is currently developed with a 1020 square foot general office building and 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. 5) The Zoning Board of Adjustment on 4/5/83 granted a use variance for the existing warehouse buildings. CONCLUSION OF LAW 1) There are no unique physical circumstances or conditions, including irregularity narrowness or shallowness of lot size or shape, or exceptional topography or other physical condition peculiar to the particular property. The unnecessary hardship is due to the circumstances or conditions generally created by the provisions of the zoning regulations in the neighborhood or district in which the property is located. The request is for a use which is not permitted in the C1 or C.O. Districts. There are no physical limitations with the property which prevent the property from being used for a permitted use. 2) Since there are no physical circumstances or conditions, there is a possibility that the property can be developed in strict conformity with the provisions of the zoning regulations and that the authorization of a variance is therefore not necessary to enable the reasonable use of the property. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space and a 1020 square foot office building. This is a reasonable use of the property. A variance is therefore not necessary to enable a reasonable use of the property. 3) The unnecessary hardship is being created by the appellant by requesting to use the property in a manner not allowed by the zoning regulations. 4) The authorization of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, nor be detrimental to the public welfare. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. The removal of a 1020 square foot office building and replacement with a 4320 square foot warehouse building would have minimal impact on the adjoining property. 5) The authorization of the variance would represent the maximum relief and would represent the greatest modification possible of the zoning regulations and of the plan. DECISION Based on the above Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law, the South Burlington Development Review Board hereby denies the Applicant's request for a use variance and site plan approval to replace a 1020 square foot general office building with a 4320 square foot warehouse building, ""Easy Self Storage & Record Center 46 Swift Street South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Michael Dugan, Architect, dated 8/10/99, for the following reason: The five (5) criteria necessary for the granting of a variance pursuant to 24 VSA 4468 have not been met. r Dated this day October, 1999 at South Burlington, VT.

Belair, Administrative Officer .; , 1 Encl DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 5, 1999 Mr. Farley moved to approve the consent agenda subject to the stipulations in the Administrative Officer's memorandum of 1 October 1999. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 4. Site plan application of Mark Hill to amend condition #7 of an approval granted on 5/11/99 to construct a 3295 sq. ft. building for auto service and repair. The amendment consists of amending condition #7 which requires the building be sprinklered, 1691 Shelburne Rd: Mr. Dinklage read a letter from the Fire Chief indicating that in lieu of a sprinkler, the applicant has agreed to a fire alarm system that will automatically alert the Fire Department. Members had no problem with the arrangement. Mr. O'Rourke moved the Development Review Board approve the site plan application of Mark Hill to amend condition #7 of an approval granted on 5/11/99 to construct a 3295 sq. ft. building for auto service and repair. The amendment consists of amending condition #7 which requires the building to be sprinklered, 1691 Shelburne Road, with the following stipulations: 1.

PUBLIC HEARING: Application of Michael Dugan & Marie St. Amand seeking a use variance from Section 12.10 Permitted Uses, Commercial 1 District of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations. Request is for permission to construct a 4320 sq. ft. warehouse & storage facility, 46 Swift Street: 6. Site plan application of Michael Dugan & Marie St. Amand to: 1) raze a 1020 sq. ft. office building, and 2) construct a 4320 sq. ft. warehouse and storage facility, 46 Swift Street. 2 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 5, 1999 Ms. St. Amand said they want to replace a house on the property. They feel this will enhance the property and bring it into compliance with the city's plan. She said that Swift St. has become a commercial street. Mr. Dugan said the proposed building would be within the setbacks. They would move the driveway to the west. The only anticipated traffic would be the owner's van going back and forth. There would be no multi -axle vehicles. Mr. Dugan anticipated that traffic would actually decrease for the current use. The building would be brick all around. Mr. O'Rourke asked how the applicant would address the 5 criteria for a variance. Mr. Dugan said there are no unique physical circumstances that would prevent the property from being developed without a variance. He noted that a variance would not be needed to continue the use that's already there. Ms. St. Amand presented letters of support from businesses in the area. Mr. Dinklage suggested the applicant go to the Planning Commission to ask them to craft a change to the zoning in the area. Mr. O'Rourke noted that "use variances" should not exist, and he did not feel it was appropriate to grant a variance unless all conditions are met. Mrs. McCaffrey, a neighbor, expressed concern with placement of the driveway in the applicant's plans. She said that big trucks do go in and out of the property (2 of them today) and she and he husband can feel the vibrations in their yard. She felt the driveway should be placed on the other side of the building. Mr. McCaffrey noted that Mrs. St. Amand has said the frontage is 100 ft. He said his calculations don't add up to that. Mr. Dugan said the driveway overlaps into the frontage and they are allowed to put a driveway into the setback. Ms. St. Amand felt they could flip the plan and put the driveway on the other side. Mr. O'Rourke read the Findings of Fact re: Application of Michael Dugan & Marie St. Amand and then moved that based on the Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law, the South Burlington Development Review Board hereby denies the Applicant's request for a use variance and site plan approval to replace a 1020 sq. ft. general office building with a 4320 sq. ft. warehouse building, "Easy Self Storage & Record Center 46 Swift Street South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Michael Dugan, Architect, dated 8/10/99, for the following reason: 3 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD OCTOBER 5, 1999 The five criteria necessary for the granting of a variance pursuant to 24 VSA 4468 have not been met. Ms. Quimby seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7.

Sincerer, ,e ay'Blair Zoning Administrator #VR- 99-03 #SP - 99-47 DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON Re: APPLICATION OF MICHAEL DUGAN & MARIE ST. AMAND This matter came before the South Burlington Development Review Board pursuant to the provisions of 24 VSA 4468 on application of Michael Dugan & Marie St. Amand, hereinafter "Applicants" for approval of a use variance, and pursuant to Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations for site plan review, for a project described as the razing of a 1020 square foot general office building and the construction of a 4320 square foot warehouse building, 46 Swift Street. The Applicants were present at the public hearing held relative to this application. Based on the evidence submitted at the hearing and as part of the application, the Development Review Board hereby renders the following decision on this application: FINDINGS OF FACT 1) The owner of record of this particular property is Marie St. Amand. 2) This property is located in the C1 and C.O. Districts 3) The warehouse use sought by the applicant is neither a permitted nor conditional use in the C1 or C.O. Districts. 4) The property is currently developed with a 1020 square foot general office building and 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. 5) The Zoning Board of Adjustment on 4/5/83 granted a use variance for the existing warehouse buildings. CONCLUSION OF LAW 1) There are no unique physical circumstances or conditions, including irregularity narrowness or shallowness of lot size or shape, or exceptional topography or other physical condition peculiar to the particular property. The unnecessary hardship is due to the circumstances or conditions generally created by the provisions of the zoning regulations in the neighborhood or district in which the property is located. The request is for a use which is not permitted in the C1 or C.O. Districts. There are no physical limitations with the property which prevent the property from being used for a permitted use. 2) Since there are no physical circumstances or conditions, there is a possibility that the property can be developed in strict conformity with the provisions of the zoning regulations and that the authorization of a variance is therefore not necessary to enable the reasonable use of the property. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space and a 1020 square foot office building. This is a reasonable use of the property. A variance is therefore not necessary to enable a reasonable use of the property. 3) The unnecessary hardship is being created by the appellant by requesting to use the property in a manner not allowed by the zoning regulations. 4) The authorization of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, nor be detrimental to the public welfare. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. The removal of a 1020 square foot office building and replacement with a 4320 square foot warehouse building would have minimal impact on the adjoining property. 5) The authorization of the variance would represent the maximum relief and would represent the greatest modification possible of the zoning regulations and of the plan. DECISION Based on the above Findings of Fact and Conclusion of Law, the South Burlington Development Review Board hereby denies the Applicant's request for a use variance and site plan approval to replace a 1020 square foot general office building with a 4320 square foot warehouse building, "Easy Self Storage & Record Center 46 Swift Street South Burlington, Vermont," prepared by Michael Dugan, Architect, dated 8/10/99, for the following reason: The five (5) criteria necessary for the granting of a variance pursuant to 24 VSA 4468 have not been met. Dated this day October, 1999 at South Burlington, VT. Chairman or Clerk South Burlington Development Review Board 2 Memorandum - Development Review Board October 5, 1999 Administrative Officer prior to the use of the general office space. 4) Any change to the site plan shall require approval by the Development Review Board. 4) MARK HILL - AMEND CONDITION - SITE PLAN This application consists of amending condition #7 of an approval granted on 5/11/99 (minutes enclosed) to construct a 3295 square foot building for auto service and repair, 1691 Shelburne Road. The amendment consists of amending condition #7 which requires the building be to sprinklered. The Fire Chief has agreed to change his recommendation and recommend a fire alarm and monitoring system (see enclosed) in/stead of the sprinklers. 5 & 6) MICHAEL DUGAN - WAREHOUSE BUILDING - VARIANCE & SITE PLAN This project consist of: 1) razing a 1020 square foot office building, and 2) construct a 4320 square foot warehouse building on a lot developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. The Zoning Board of Adjustment on 4/25/83 granted a use variance for the existing warehouse buildings. This property located at 46 Swift Street lies within the C1 and C.O. Districts. It is bounded on the north by the I-189 on ramp, on the south by Swift Street, on the west by a residence and office building, and on the east by a residence and the correctional facility. Variance criteria: There are no unique physical circumstances or conditions, including irregularity narrowness or shallowness of lot size or shape, or exceptional topography or other physical condition peculiar to the particular property. The unnecessary hardship is due to the circumstances or conditions generally created by the provisions of the zoning regulations in the neighborhood or district in which the property is located. The request is for a use which 4 Memorandum - Development Review Board October 5, 1999 is not permitted in the C1 District. There are no physical limitations with the property which prevent the property from being used for a permitted use. 2. Since there are no physical circumstances or conditions, there is a possibility that the property can be developed in strict conformity with the provisions of the zoning regulations and that the authorization of a variance is therefore not necessary to enable the reasonable use of the property. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space and a 1020 square foot office building. This is a reasonable use of the property. A variance is therefore not necessary to enable a reasonable use of the property. 3. The unnecessary hardship is being created by the appellant by requesting to use the property in a manner not allowed by the zoning regulations. 4. The authorization of the variance would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood or district in which the property is located, nor substantially or permanently impair the appropriate use or development of adjacent property, nor be detrimental to the public welfare. The property is currently developed with 18,000 square feet of warehouse space in five (5) buildings. The removal of a 1020 square foot office building and replacement with a 4320 square foot warehouse building would have minimal impact on adjoining property. 5. The authorization of the variance would represent the maximum relief and would represent the greatest modification possible of the zoning regulations and of the plan. Since all five (5) criteria have not been met, staff recommends denial of the variance. Site Plan Review Access/circulation: The 24 foot curb cut will be relocated approximately 31 feet to the west. Circulation on the site is adequate. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 29.3% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall coverage is 69.5% (maximum allowed is 70%). Front yard coverage is being reduced from 41% to 35.3% (maximum allowed is 30%). Memorandum - Development Review Board October 5, 1999 5 Memorandum - Development Review Board October 5, 1999 Setback requirements are met for the proposed building. The northwesterly warehouse building does not meet the rear setback requirement. Parking: A total of one (1) parking space is required and two (2) parking spaces are proposed including one (1) handicapped space and a bike rack. Landscaping The minimum landscaping requirement, based on building costs, is $6750 which is being met. The planting schedule should be revised to note that 28 Arborvitae are proposed not 16 as indicated. Traffic: ITE estimates that replacing the office building with a warehouse building will reduce P.M. peak hour vehicle trip ends (vte's) from 6 vte's to 5.6 vte's, for a 0.4 vte decrease. The applicant should be aware that the road impact fee is zero (0) Sewer: No additional allocation needed. Lighting: Additional exterior lighting consists of five (5) building mounted lights. Details of these lights have not been submitted. Dumpsters: A screened dumpster storage area is provided. Other: enclosed is a letter from the abutting property owner to the west expressing concerns with the project and a letter from another adjoining property owner in favor of the project. --- the plan should be revised to show the limits of the C.O. District along the I-189 on ramp. 7) HOMESTEAD DESIGN INC. - FOOTPRINT LOTS - FINAL PLAT This project consists of amending a planned residential development consisting of 298 residential units and an 18 hole gold course. The amendment consists of revising the final plat for the footprint lots along Golf Course Road by providing survey tie lines for the next phase of development (units #115 - 117 and 138 and 139). 2 September 28, 1999 City of South Burlington Development Review Board 575 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT 05403 Dear Board Members: This is to express our strong support for the New Record Center at 46 Swift Street as proposed by Easy Self Storage.

Board September 18, 1999 Sept. 23, 1999 Dept. of Planning and Zoning City of South Burlington Dorset St. So. Burlington VT 05403 RE: VARIANCE HEARING FOR MICHAEL DUGAN/MARIE ST. AMAND 10-5-99 Gentlemen: I am writing this in regard to the variance that our neighbors, Easy Self -Storage, Dr. St. Amand, Owner, has applied for at 46 Swift St. in So. Burlington. We have several points on this which we wish to bring up which are very disturbing to us as homeowners, neighbors and residents of Swift St. Our biggest concern as residents of Swift St. is the huge amount of truck traffic this will generate. Swift St. is already a very busy area loaded with trucks from their already thriving storage warehouses, Vt. Gas Systems and the wholesale florist business across the street from us. We realize this is a commercial area and are not anti -business but, it seems that enough is enough. There are times when it is literally impossible to enter or leave our driveway. I'm aware you are going to install a traffic light at the corner of Farrell St. but this will not ease the traffic from Shelburne Road to Farrell and vice versa. Now for our other great concern and how this directly affects us: Some years ago when the Letourneau property and the land was landscaped for the warehouse business, the traffic and work did crack our foundation, which had to be completely replaced in the rear of our home. True, the financial part of this was taken care of by their insurance but did not cover the several months of trouble it caused us. Also at that time, their permit was allowed with the stipulation that the upstairs apartment was only to be rented to a caretaker for the property. With a number of tenants over the years, only one was a caretaker, and that was not for a long period. I brought this up at a meeting and Dr. St. Amand flatly told me that was not so, it always was a caretaker. Not true!!! We never complained much about this as the people he rented to have never been any problem; no noise or wild parties, etc. -2- Secondly, they were to maintain a fence which is on their property line and belongs to them. Several times the fence has been in serious condition (as it is at present), and my husband has helped the caretaker, Mike, to do this but this was mainly "Band-Aid" jobs. On one occasion one of our treelmbs demolished a section of this palisade fence and my hsuband immediately obtained a new fence section and installed it but this attitude does not work both ways!! Am enclosing pictures of some of these so- called repairs. We are under the impression that these warehouse businesses are to be enclosed by a security fence. If someone wanted to get into that property, they would only have to drive to the rear of the parking lot next door at 36 Swift St. and it is wide open for anyone to walk in. See the pictures. That covers their lack of true care for their property or regard for their neighbors. Another concern: we understand they intend to remove the house which is presently there; the driveway for this new storage facility to their west property line; this line is approximately 12 feet from our eastern foundation wall. At this time, we feel the vibration from the 53-foot trailers and other vehicles passing along Swift St. and we wonder what it would do to our home structure even closer by. Strange, but in 1953 we had to fight for our permit to build here. We had our home built, which cannot be replaced; for example, all the interior work, the plastering, etc. were done by my Dad and brothers who are gone; and we raised our seven kids here. South Burlington has been truly our home. Our kids all went to school here and graduated from So. Burlington. It is hard to conceive that a permit for this variance would be allowed and given to someone so unconcerned about the neighbors and residents of Swift St. Thanks for listening to our concerns and hope this enlightens each of you to another side of the question.

Sincerely, Jane B. Lafleur, City Planner JBL/mcp 4/8/86 JBL Motion of Approval That the South Burlington Planning Commission approve the site plan application of M & M Partnership for construction of a 1500 square foot mini -storage building at 46 Swift Street as depicted on a plan entitled Eas Self Storage, 46 Swift Street, South Burlington, Vermont" pr ared by Don Marek, dated 3/3/86 with the following stipulations: 1) A $750 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. A new plan valued at $750 shall be approved by the City Planner prior to permit. It shall include plantings east of the new building toward the Correctional Center to stabilize the bank. 2. The field area along the interstate shall be graded and topsoil placed and seeded prior to permit. 3. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months PLANNING COMMISSION 23 JUNE 1987 PAGE 5 Street as depicted on a plan entitled "Easy Self -Storage, Lot 59 Swift Street, proposed Site layout, M & M partnership" prepared by Donald Marek dated 9/21/84, last revised 10 1 86 with the following stipulations: 1. The applicant must receive a use variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment prior to permit. 2. A landscaping bond of $2250.00 shall be posted prior to permit. 3. The applicant shall pave the entrance drive of 150 ft. The City reserves the right to review the back graveled lot one year from date of occupancy to see if further paving is necessary for dust control. If the Planning Commission de- termines that further paving is necessary, the applicant will be required to do so. 4. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months or this approval is null and void. Mrs. Maher seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 7. Work Session Discussion with Mery Brown the development options for the Earl's Schwinn lot L.t rx� -Berg-Llewellyn said the Mr. Brown has an agreement to purchase the Schwinn lot and building. One possible develop- ment suggested is to combine 2 lots and expand Dorset Sq. They would add an addition to the Schwinn building and would close the Dorset St. curb cut. Two new curb cuts would serve from Corporate Way. Mrs. Hurd asked if the back service drive could be used. Mr. Brown said there are dan- gerous blind corners and he would not recommend it. The building will be completely renovated and they may have it blend with Dorset Sq. Members generally liked the concept and most felt the two curb cuts on Corporate Way were acceptable. They did not like the idea of using the service drive. Mr. Brown advised that his Hinesburg Rd. development will go back to Act 250 with required changes. It will come back to the Planning Commission. They are also waiting for the sewer plan to be done. As there was no further business to come before the PLANNING COMMISSION 23 JUNE 1987 PAGE 4 footage of the building to get down to the allowable trip ends. Mr. Blodgett said he has worked out a verbal agreement with Rich Tarrant of IDS to share in the cost of the first 250 ft. of Holmes Rd. Mr. Blodgett will also share the cost of the traffic light at Holmes Rd. Mrs. Maher said the plan should show the sidewalk. There is a shortage of landscaping dollars, and Mrs. Hurd suggested a few more street trees. An erosion control study by Wagner, Heindel & Noyes is also required. Mr. Belter said he would like to know how snow removal will be handled, and Mrs. Hurd said she would like to see the location of the dumpster. 5. Sketch plan application of Tom Drolette for a 3-lot sub- division for residential use on the Bernice Irish Estates Mr. Drolette said the original farm was left to the 9 children of whom his wife is the youngest. His brother, who farms the land, said he does not want a road going through the property. Mr. Palmer explained that CWD was given a right-of-way on the the dirt road to service their water tank and this right-of-way is blocked off with a gate which must be opened and closed in order to use it. The land is being used for a pasture. Mr. Drolette has agreed to build a city spec road from Harbor Ridge and to make the cul de sac to city specs. The sewer is already in, and there will be a sidewalk. 6. Site plan application of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ste. Amand to construct two mini -storage buildings, a total of 10,800 sq. ft, at lot #11 59 Swift St. Ms. Perkins said this is the same plan as approved for the previous owners of the property. Mr. Ste. Amand said they do not expect a dust problem as they expect only 3 or 4 cars a day. He would prefer to leave the road gravel, but would pave if required. Gravel is better for drainage. Mrs. Maher suggested possibly paving the road and leaving the back gravel. Mrs. Hurd suggested a review at the end of a year, and if dust is a problem to then require paving. Mrs. Hurd moved that the Planning Commission approve the site plan application of Mr. St. Amand and Mr. Anderson to construct two mini -storage buildings measuring 30 ft. x 180 ft. each for a total of 10,800 sq. ft. at lot #1, 59 Swift -3- discussion regarding permitted use in the C-1 District and C-2 District. Mr. Thibault made a motion that we consider this under 19.057 as a multiple use. It was seconded by Mr. King Mr. Boehm said he thought this should be discussed further and Mr. Dinklage advised that this had to do with the use only and that he would like to bring this to a vote. Mr. Dinklage asked what new arguments they would like to bring forth and Mr. Boehm asked why they couldn't discuss it. Mr. Jarrett said something is included in one place and not in another place - there is an omission of mini -storage facility in C-1 District although it is included in C-2 District. Mr. Boehm asked why they couldn't go to the Planning Commission to make a text change and Mr. Dinklage said we're talking of a minimum of two months, if you're lucky, to get a text change as the Planning Commission is very busy. Mr. Amidon said it's a legal interpretation and he urged the board to use its discretion of the examples to say that retail does include a small mini -storage operation. The motion passed 4 - 2. Mr. Dinklage said to clarify the points that Mr. Boehm has raised let's determine whether we should continue to hear this appeal as presented. Mr. Thibault made the motion that we consider this as a conditional use under 19.057. Mr. King seconded the motion and it passed 4 - 2. Mr. Thibault left the meeting at 8:25 PM. Mr. Dinklage said we now have two remaining requests before us one is a variance from Section 19.104 landscaping requirements. Mr. Amidon described the landscaping and there was some discussion about making the buildings smaller. Mr. Dinklage said we are going to send you to the Planning Commission per 19.653 which states the Planning Commission must approve two or more buildings in a commercial or industrial complex for one user. Mr. Amidon said that Mr. Marek already had an appointment to meet with the Planning Commission. Mr. Ward said if you're going to send it back to the Planning Commission I think it would be just as well to withdraw this request. Mr. Amidon consulted Arnold Marek and said we will withdraw the request for the variance on the rear setback. Mr. Dinklage said the request has been withdrawn by the appealant. Mr. Graf made the motion that.the appealant go to the Planning Commission for the approval of two buildings per 19.653. This was seconded by Mr. Jarrett and all voted aye. The minutes of September 8, 1986 were approved on a motion by Mr. King and a second by Mr. Boehm and a unanimous vote. Mr. Dinklage said I suggest that we send to the Planning Commission the following statement: "The Zoning Board requests that we meet with the Planning Commission to discuss their recommendation to delete Section 19.057, and second that it would be helpful prior to that discussion if they would enumerate for us the instances where they think the Zoning Board has abused the rerogatives allowed by 19.057." All in favor of this request say,aYE. All Wed aye. The meeting adjourned at 8:45PM. I/— Clerk -2- Mr. Ward said this area is zoned R-4 District. Section 18.00 Dimensional ide and rear yard - 10 feet - proposed 16' x 20' requirements: minimum s workshop to within 4 feet of rear yard and within 4 feet of easterly side yard - lot size 75' x 165'. Mr. Ward read letters from neighbors (rear yard and side yard neighbors) who had no objections to this building. Mr. Mitchell said he would like to get all of his workshop equipment which he now has in his cellar into this building. This would be a garage type pre-fab building. He said his electrical tools are too noisy for the basement. This would be the most convenient place for this building and he said he plans to use it for storage and a workshop. When asked what he uses his workshop for Mr. Mitchell replied that he makes models, chairs, etc. - like a hobby shop. Mr. Dinklage asked if he sells any of the items he makes and Mr. Mitchell said he didn't - he makes things for his family. Mr. Thibault asked what was in back of the house and Mr. Mitchell replied that it's a paved basketball court. Mr. King asked if this could be moved and he said he would rather not tear up his back yard. Mr. Dinklage asked why he wished to retain the court and Mr. Mitchell said his grand children use it all the time. After more discussion about where this building could be re -located to be within compliance, Mr. Thibault moved that we table Mr. Mitchell's appeal until our next meetine so that the board can take a further look at the Drooerty before the next meeting which will be October 20th. The motion was seconded by Mr. King and all voted aye. No. 3 Tabled Appeal of Donald and Arnold Marek Mr. Dinklage reviewed the appeal and the discussions of the zoning board meeting on September 8th with Mr. King and Mr. Graf who were absent from this meeting. Mr. Amidon, Atty. for Mr. Marek, advised the board that•Mr. Don Marek was on vacation and he was representing him. He asked if the board would consider this as a Conditional use. Mr. Amidon said we are talking about two buildings which are 9' high 30' x 180 to be used for mini -storage not commercial warehouses. This would be more in line with frozen food lockers which is listed as a permitted use in the C-1 District. They do not have the traffic, they do not have the people - an average of 5 vehicles per'day so that from that point of view there would be less use than a motel. Mini -storage is retail storage on a small scale not storage by industrial users with large buildings with big trucks picking up. They will have 72 units with an average of two visits a month. This whole industry is new. Mr. Amidon reviewed what Mr. Marek had told the board at the September 8th meeting - that their office will be in their existing facility, that the proposed buildings would not alter the character of the neighborhood and would not create any hardships to the existing businesses surrounding the area, and that there were no objections from the neighbors - that they lived up to their agreements. Mr. Dinklage said that with respect to the type of use I have a hard time differentiating what is being proposed from a frozen food locker. Mr. King said that the mini -storage facility on Williston Road creates very little Is traffic. Mr. Boehm said do we agree that the use is not permitted and Mr. Dinklage said I can interpret it as a permitted use and there was more .1 k, PLANNING COMMISSION 8 APRIL 1986 PAGE 7 5. Sketch Plan application of Gregory Lothrop for subdivision of a 3.1 acre parcel into 3 single family lots and enlargement of existing single family parcel located a 157 and 171 Kirby Rd. Mr. Lothrop said the land is being surveyed now. He bought it to develop as single family homes in conjunction with the character of the neighborhood. He would donate to the city a piece of land to join up with other city -owned land. Mr. Muir said the oak trees the City Engineer said should be saved seem dead to him. Mrs. Lafleur will check on this. Mr. Lothrop said he hadn't planned to remove them unless nec- essary. 6. Site plan application of M & M Partnership for Easy Self Storage (Donald Marek & Arnold Marek) for construction of a 1500 sq. ft. storage building at 46 Swift St. The Zoning Board approved this plan for 5 buildings years ago; however, the Planning Commission approved only 4. They are now asking for the 5th building. Lot coverage would be at 68%. The only concern is with seeding and stabilizing the bank. Mrs. Hurd asked if the Southern Connector will affect the property. Mrs. Lafleur said some property will be taken. She felt there wouldn't be new pavement but only an extension of the right-of-way. Mr. Donald Marek said they get only about 10 to 15 cars a day, virtually no traffic. Mr. Dooley moved that the South Burlington Planning Com- mission approve the site plan application of M & M Partner- ship for construction of a 1500 sq. ft. mini -storage building at 46 Swift St. as depicted on a plan entitled Easy Self Storage, 46 Swift St_ South Burlington, Vermont" prepared ia Don Marek, dated 3/3/86 with the following stipulations: 1. A $750 landscaping bond shall be posted prior to permit. A new plan valued at $750 shall be approved 12y the City Planner prior to permit. It shall include plantings east of the new building toward the Correctional Center to stabilize the bank. 2. The field area along the interestate shall be graded and topsoil placed and seeded prior to permit. 3. The building permit shall be obtained within 6 months. Mr. Belter seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: William J.

Mr. Marek confirmed that permission has been received from the State. He explained that the buildings will be like the storage buildings on Williston Road with approximately 120 to 130 units of storage. There will be no lights in the units but there will be new exterior lights on the corners of the buildings. Mr. Jacob suggested that these lights be directed downward. Mr. Spitz requested that this ap- plication be schedules first for the next meeting (May 24) so that he could have time to review the new plan. Ms. Maher moved to continue consideration of this site a - ication until the meeting of Mav 4, 1983, when it wil e Item #2 on the agenda, Item #1 being approval of the Minutes. Ms. Hurd seconded with unanimous approval. Accept letter of resignation from W.

Other business Mr. Spitz said there were several small items he wished to include at the next meeting. He also suggested a work session on the last Tuesday of the month. Regarding the Clausson's arrangement on Shelburne Road, Mr. Spitz indicated that Mr. Ward had given an OK for this season, but Mr. Spitz was not completely convinced with what Clausson's had done and suggested it might be a complete violation of the site plan. Mr. Poger said that even for seasonal use, the proposal should be brought to the Com- mission next year. MR. Poger noted two items of concern on the Zoning Board agenda: a proposed variety store at the Mobil Station on Hinesburg Road and Kennedy Drive, and a proposed flea market on a temporary basis on the Arthur Treacher's property. He asked that this concern be voiced to the Zoning Board. k DIVISION OF ENGINEERING AND CONSTRU"'TION 1'? State Street, Montpelier, Vermont 05602 J - June 15, 198I' 1 1 1 pate Reo'd ENGINEERS INC.

Members Present Sidney Poger, Chairman; John Belter, Jl: ay Hurd, Mary -Barbara. Maher, George Mona Member Absent Peter Jacob Others Present David Spitz, Planner; Arnold Marek, Don Marek, Larry Young,Russell Tilley, Bill Rowell, Bob Krebs, Irvine; Wallman, Bill Shearer, Mr. Benes, Richard Morvan Minutes of May 10, 1983 Mr. Poger noted that Dan O'Brien's name had been omitted from the list of "Others Present.' He also noted that at the bottom of page 7, the final sentence should read: " He asked that the Planning Commission's doncern be voiced..." Mr. Mona moved that the minutes be accepted as amended. Mr. Belter seconded with unanimous consent. Continuation of site plan application by Donald Mare and Rickard Morvan for an office buildin residence an mini - warehouse buildings at 4b Swift Street Larry Young of Pinkham Engineering indicated that at Mr. Spitz's suggestion the gravel parking lot in front of the buDdings will be removed and the area will be paved. Water run-off will be into a catch basin. Mr. Poger called the members' attention to the written OK from the State for the planting of trees. Mr.'Spitz stressed that the landscaping plan must show the correct number of;:buildings. He also noted that there must be written confirmation that drainage will be allowed to go off -site. Mr. Pinkham advised that they are now working on that with Reg Welch and Mr. Streeter. Mr. Belter asked wh t provisions have been made for snow re- moval, and Mr. Mory advised that it will_ have to be pushed to various spots. Ifi6re is room for this as there will be no fencing_: at the rear of the property. Mrs."Aaher then moved that the South Burlin mission grant approval for the site plan ap Marek and Richard Morvan for an office bui_l_ miniwarehouse buildin.-s as depicted on a 2. "Proposed Site Grading,Easy Self Storage, 46 Swift Street," prepared by Pinkham Engineering Associates, last revise Kay 16, 1983, subject to the following stipulations: 1-.-The--landscapinglan shall be revised so that all indicated site im rovements coincide with those shown on the site plan. The plan shall be submitted to and approved y the City Planner prior to issuance of a building permit. 2. The applicant shall submit easements and other legal documents: as needed to indicate that the ro osed off -site storm drainage can be instalTed as shown on the siteplan. an. 3. A landscaping bond of $6000 shall be submitted prior to is- suance of a buiding permit. 4. This approval expires in 6 months. Mr. Belter seconded the motion which was passed unanimously. Request for additional sketch plan review of a 2-lot subdivision or Helen Tilley on Old Farm Road and Hinesburg Road Mr. Tilley advised the Commission that neither Digital nor the 0►Briens was willing at this time to give a blanket right of way to Kimball Avenue. Ike stressed that the alternate right of way requested by the City Planner running along the easement to Green Mountain Power and the Water District would split the family's dwelling place and put them on an island between two roads. Mr. Poger noted that a right of way does not affect the land. The most desirable access is next to the Interstate, but it is good to be far-sighted and plan for an alternative. If an arrangement can be made with the O'Briens, then Old Farm Road may never have to be activated. It is in the city's best in- terest, however, to reserve two right of ways. Mr. Spitz ad- vised that Mr. Szymanski had gone to the Highway Board which has put the proposed interchange on the 5-year plan to be studied.. Mr. Tilley stressed that they were reluctant to show the second right of way but would do so if it were the only means of getting the Commission's approval. Mr. Tilley then asked for a waiver of the survey because there is ample physical evidence of a physical boundary which is a stone wall. Mr. Spitz indicated he did not recommend this. Mr. Tilley explained that if the survey is delayed, the future buyer would bear the cost. In a poll of members, Mrs. Maher indicated she was willing to waive the survey. The remaining members were not. Warned Public Hearing: Final zor resubdivision o new commercia ots lat application by LTH Associates ett property, consisting of six rbor view Mr. Spitz explained that the requested changes involved lots 5, 6, and 7, and that the request is for 175 foot frontages on lots 5 and 6 and a larger lot 7. Bill Rowell advised that long as it is bonded and the State agrees to the inclusion of it prior to permit. 4) HARBOR INN, SHELBURNE ROAD John Larkin never recorded the final plat for the approved sub- division within the required 90 days. I am beginning this approval at sketch plan but suggest we can proceed directly to final plat. The swimming pool will be enclosed in one building. There are no other changes to the plan. 5) LOTHROP, 157 AND 171 KIRBY ROAD The applicant requests to subdivide a 3.1 acre parcel into 3 single-family lots of 13,000 square feet each. The remainder of the parcel will be attached to the property at 57 Kirby Road. The area is zoned R-4. Each lot will have 76.2 feet of frontage. A variance from the 80 foot frontage requirement was granted by the Zoning Board. The remaining acreage (approximately 22 acres) is a large gully that connects to City owned land. It will become part and parcel of the property at *157 Kirby Road. (See Bill Szymanski`s comments.) 6) M & M PARTNERSHIP; 46 SWIFT STREET This application is for approval of a fifth mini -warehouse at Easy Self Storage on Swift Street. Although the Zoning Board approved 5 structures, the Planning Commission minutes of May 24, 1983 show approval of only 4. (Enclosed) These buildings have been built on fill and the site drops steeply towards the Correc- tional Center. Lot coverage will be 69 %. Access, circulation and parking will not change as a result of this additional building. However, the proposed structure will be built at the edge of the steep dropoff. The proposed unit can not be accessed on the northern side due to the steep drop off. There will only be 5 feet to the edge of the bank. New landscaping valued at $750 should be planted on the steep bank to stabilize it. (See Bill Szymanski`s comments.) 3 DHS 5/23/83 a • ••* * MA That the South Burlington Planning Commission grant approval for the site plan application by Donald Marek and Richard Morvan for an office building/ residence and 4 miniwarehouse buildings as depicted on a plan entitled "Proposed Site Grading, Easy Self Storage, 46 Swift Street", prepared by Pinkham Engineering Associates, last revised May 16, 1983: Stipulations: 1) The landscaping plan shall be revised so that all indicated site improve- ments coincide with those shown on the site plan. The plan shall be sub- mitted to and approved by the City Planner prior to issuance of a building permit. 2) The applicant shall submit easements and other legal documents as needed to indicate that the proposed off -site storm drainage can be installed as shown on the site plan. 3) A landscaping bond of $6000 shall be submitted prior to issuance of a building permit. 4) This approval expires in 6 months. M E M O R A N D U M To: South Burlington Planning Commission From: David H. Spitz, City Planner Re: Next week's agenda items Date: 5/20/83 2) Miniwarehouses Total coverage has been reduced from 70% to 60%. After reviewing the new plans, the only necessary change was a minor building adjustment to improve pedestrian access. Also, the landscaping plan must be revised to conform with the new layout. I see no other problems. 3) Tilley Russell Tilley wishes to reappear to clarify Planning Commission opinions on access and survey requirements. Despite any problems it may cause for this applicant I strongly recommend that two separate access routes to Hinesburg Road, as previously discussed, be required. Even though the current application is a minor one, there could be major development later on - and sufficient access options must be retained until the issue can be more thoroughly studied. 4) Homestead Design Applicants have been unable to purchase additional land from abutters to total 6 acres. Therefore the final application contains only 5 rather than 6 lots. Also, the joint access arrangement with Bartletts Bay homeowners has not worked out. Both private driveway and r-o-w for future access will be located adjacent to the City sewer property. Complete survey information has not yet been submitted. Also legal and water reviews are still pending. Recreation fee is $390, or $78 per unit. Due to the length of the City Manager/Engineer's comments, final plat approval at Tuesday's meeting is unlikely. a Bartlett Subdivision - 6 Lots Lot layout has regressed slighly since sketch plan. Apparently, a prospective buyer wants less than the originally proposed acreage on lots 5 and 6. Therefore the applicant has added some of that land to lot 7. Un- fortunately, the land in question is on the opposite side of a conservation zone from the balance of lot 7 and is effectively unusable. Even though the arrangement causes no real problems for the City, it would make much more sense to add the land in question back to lot 6. The joint curb cut arrangement will still work with either proposed lay- out. 5/17/83 David Spitz Planning Commision So Burlington, Vt. 05401 Dear David As we discussed I am interested in installing security type lighting for the storage building at 46 Swift St. We haven't as as yet decided a type of unit, but its purpose would be to illuminate the aisles between buildings for security purposes rather than for for the purpose of illuminating the buildings themselves. The light would be downward facing and directional. I have no problem with a stipulation that prior to installing any exterior lighting it will be for the above stated purpose, and I have no problem with showing you the unit for your approval. Should this present any problems, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely Yo Richard orvan 46 Sw if S t . So Burlington, Vt. 05401 Memorandum Next week's agenda items 5/6/83 Page 2 Proposed circulation and access is different from our normal requirements. A one-way access to the rear is provided with bottle trucks driving through the building and exiting onto Berard Drive at several different points. The result is a total of 6 curb cuts onto the street. Because of the nature of Berard Drive this arrangement does not present any major problems, however, I would suggest the following: 1) The applicant should thoroughly explain at Tuesday's meeting the need for each curb cut. It may be feasible to eliminate 1 or 2. 2) All new one-way access roads shall be widened to at least 16 feet, as specified in our site plan standards. 3) Curb radii should be provided for all new access roads. 4) The proposed easterly access road is not at an aesthetically desirable location. Some regrading may also be needed. Other options should be explored. Also, landscaping should be increased to $1800 to meet the ordinance require- ment. 5) Miniwarehouses, Swift Street Application is for residential and office use of an existing building at the front of the property and for 5 miniwarehouses in the back. This combination of uses has been approved by the Zoning Board. Use of the front building is in- consequential, but the miniwarehouses must be reviewed carefully. Lot coverage (buildings plus paved areas) is at the maximum of 70%. The bulk of the coverage is in the back, and at several points paving extends right up to a property line. However, with a combination of stockade and chainlink fencing in front of the miniwarehouse area, the only area of concern is the rear. The lot backs up to the I-189 ramp. A 50' setback to the existing fence will be maintained, although the fence will be moved 15' to 25' closer when the Southern Connector is built. This closeness will be offset by a 10' to 20' low- ering of the ramp. Also, the applicant has agreed to plant a number of white pines between the fence and miniwarehouse area. After several years, the visual impact of the warehouses on the interstate should not be a problem. Many of the plantings are on an adjacent sliver of land behind the applicant's property belonging to the correctional center. The land is well above the balance of the correctional center's land, and is probably of no use to them. However, the applicant must obtain written permission from them indicating that the pro- posed tree plantings and drainage on their land are acceptable. In order to meet the interstate requirement, building B has been shoved ahead of the other four buildings. Site appearance would be improved by re- ducing building B from 150' to 125' in length. u STATE OF VERMONT AGENCY OF ADMINISTRATION MONTPELIER, VERMONT 05602 Mr. Richard A.
