Re: Findings of Fact, application of Dan Morrissey and Marie and
Albert St. Amand for a boundary line adjustment involving 7,500
square feet of land, 57 and 59 Swift Street, and relocation of the
access serving 59 Swift Street.
On the 15th day of July, 1997, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Dan Morrissey and Marie & Albert
St. Amand for final plat approval under Section 204 of the South
Burlington Subdivision Regulations and site plan review under
Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on
the following findings:
1. This project consists of a boundary line adjustment between two
(2) adjoining property owners involving 7500 square feet and
amending the site plan. This boundary adjustment will result in no
change in size or frontage to either property. The purpose of the
boundary line adjustment is to make the lot at 57 Swift Street
owned by Morrissey contiguous with other lands owned by Morrissey
at 63 and 69 Swift Street. The 57 Swift Street property is
developed with a single family dwelling and accessory structures.
The sketch plan was reviewed on 5/13/97.
2. These properties located at 57 and 59 Swift Street lie within
the Cl District. They are bounded on the west by a commercial
building and undeveloped land, on the south by two (2) single
family residences, on the east by two (2) commercial buildings, and
on the north by Swift Street.
3. Access: The boundary line adjustment will result in the access
to 59 Swift Street being relocated approximately 100 feet to the
west. The access to 57 Swift Street will be eliminated. The width
of the new driveway will be the same as the existing driveway.
4. Lot size/frontage: There will be no change in lot size or
frontage for either applicant. Equal amounts of land area and
frontage will be exchanged between the two (2) property owners.
5. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 21.4% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage will decrease from 72.8% to 70.0%
(maximum allowed is 70%). Front yard coverage will decrease from
38% to 36% (maximum allowed is 30%).
6. The proposed boundary line adjustment will result in the new
property line passing through an existing structure and not meeting
the 15 foot side yard setback requirement. This structure must be
removed prior to conveyance of the parcels.
7. Trailers: There are two (2) trailers on the property which
appear to be used for storage. These trailers were not approved as
part of the original site plan approval and should be removed. The
trailer shown along the south boundary should be removed from the
plan.
8. Revised final plat: The revised final plat plans should include
the following additional information:
--- type of, location, and size of existing utilities.
--- indicate that the southerly property boundary line is the
boundary between the Cl District to the north and R4 District
to the south.
--- show reserved strip for future street widening.
--- property lines to be dissolved should be clearly indicated as
such.
