Re: Findings of Fact, application of Francis Von Turkovich and
Patrice Stratmann for subdivision of a 9.5 acre parcel into three
(3) lots of 4.1 acres, 4.0 acres and 1.4 acres, 300 Swift Street.
On the 27th day of January, 1998, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Francis Von Turkovich and
Patrice Stratmann for final plat approval under Section 202 of the
South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following
findings:
1. This project consists of subdividing a 9.5 acre lot into three
(3) lots of 4 acres (lot #1), 1.4 acres (lot #2) and 4.1 acres (lot
#3). Lot #3 is currently developed with a single family dwelling.
A preliminary plat approval for a three (3) lot subdivision on this
property was granted on 8/12/97 . A new sketch plan was reviewed
on 12/16/97 due to a substantial change in the configuration of the
lots from the previous plan. This application will be handled as
a minor subdivision.
2. This property located at 300 Swift Street lies within the R2
District. It is bounded on the north by a residence and
undeveloped land, on the west by a church, on the east by a multi-
family development (Ridgewood), and on the south by Swift Street.
3. Access: Applicant's proposal for access to lot #1 is unclear.
Staff recommended that access to lot #1 be via the proposed 30
foot r.o.w. to serve the existing lot at 294 Swift Street. Lots #2
and #3 will be served by the existing driveway to the house on lot
#3. The r.o.w. currently serving 294 Swift Street will be
discontinued in favor of the new 30 foot r.o.w.
4. Section 401.1 (k) (2) of the subdivision regulations requires
that all private roadways be a minimum width of 30 feet with
parking and 24 feet without parking. The width of the proposed
private road is 10 feet. The Commission at the sketch plan
meeting approved a 10 foot wide drive. This drive must be widened
to 20 feet if more than 2 residential units use it.
5. The City Engineer reviewed the sight lines at the intersection
of the new driveway with Swift Street and feels that they are
adequate.
6. Lot size/frontage: The minimum lot size requirement of 19,000
square feet (0.44 acres) will be met by all three (3) lots.
The minimum frontage requirement of 100 feet will be met by all
1
three (3) lots.
7. Density: The maximum density permitted on the 9.5 acre lot is
19 units (9.5 x 2). One (1) unit is proposed for lot #2 in
addition to the dwelling on lot U . Lot #1 will be sold to UVM.
8. Sewer: The sewer allocation request is 840 gpd (includes 20%
reduction allowed by State). The applicant will be required to pay
the per gallon fee prior to permit issuance.
9. Impact fees: The applicant was made aware that dwelling units
on lot 1 and 3 will be subject to road, school and recreation
impact fees.
10. Bike path: A portion of the bike path is located on lot #3.
The final plat should be revised to show the bike path easement.
11. Other:
— the final plat should be revised to show the easement line
symbol different from the property line symbol for the 10 foot
easement for lot #3 which extends from the Swift Street r.o.w.
to lot #3.
— the final plat should be revised to show the new r.o.w. to 294
Swift Street stopping at the Swift Street r.o.w.
— the final plat should show a property line separating lots #1
and 2.
