Re: Findings of Fact, application of Edward and Janet Austin, for
a planned residential development consisting of subdividing a 2.6
acre parcel into two (2) 1.3 acre parcels, 301 Swift Street.
On the loth of November, 1992 the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Edward and Janet Austin for
final plat approval under Section 204 of the South Burlington
Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of subdividing a 2.6 acre lot into two
(2) lots of 1.3 acre each. Lot #1 is currently developed with a
single family residence and lot #2 is undeveloped. The sketch plan
was reviewed on April 14, 1992.
2. This property located at 301 Swift Street is located within the
Southeast Quadrant District. It is bounded on the east by two (2)
single family residences, on the south by undeveloped land and on
the north by Swift Street.
3. The proposed subdivision lies entirely within the restricted
area under the SEQ zoning. In order for a new residential lot to
be created within a restricted area, it must be reviewed and
approved as a Planned Residential Development under Section 26.602
of the zoning regulations. It must also meet the standards
setforth under Section 19.15 of the zoning regulations regarding
Planned Unit Developments. One of the goals of PUD's is to
"encourage innovation in design and layout, and more efficient use
of land".
4. The proposed subdivision will comply with Section 26.606A of
the zoning regulations since the new lot being created will
designate the front portion of the lot as an undisturbed area.
This area is currently mostly wooded and this designation will
result in the developed portion of the lot remaining invisible from
Swift Street.
5. The proposed subdivision will comply with Section 26.606B of
the zoning regulations since all buildings to be constructed will
be restricted to the rear potion of the lot. This design will
result in the preservation of the Swift Street scenic view corridor
and preserve existing vegetation in the front portion of the lot.
6. Access: Access to the new lot (lot #2) will be via a 30 foot
r.o.w. from Swift Street to a new 20 foot r.o.w. across lot #1.
Sight distance on Swift Street is acceptable.
1
7. Area and Dimensions: Both lots meet the minimum lot size
requirement of 12,000 square feet and the frontage requirement of
100 feet.
8. Sewer: A sewer allocation of 450 gpd is required. The
applicant should pay the per gallon fee prior to issuance of a
zoning/building permit.
9. Recreation fee: The recreation fee should be paid prior to the
issuance of a zoning/building permit.
10. Legal documents: Prior to the issuance of a zoning/building
permit, the applicant should record appropriate legal documents
granting access across lot #1 and the Skiff property. These should
be approved by the City Attorney.
