TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
SUBJECT: #SD-22-06 0 Market Street
DATE: June 7, 2022 Development Review Board meeting
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Miscellaneous application #MS-22-03 of Fernando Cresta to alter the existing grade for consistency with
adjoining properties. The improvements consist of regrading the backyard with eight (8) to twelve (12)
inches of topsoil, 410 Golf Course Road.
CONTEXT
The Board issued decision #AO-22-01 on the appeal of the Zoning Administrative Officer to issue a
zoning permit for site improvements on the subject property.
That decision affirms in part and reverses in part the decision of the Administrative Officer to approve
zoning permit application #ZP-22-071. The zoning permit was properly approved as to “replacement of
existing retaining walls (6’ tall at maximum height), replacement of existing stone patio with new stone
patio, replacement of existing stone stairs with new stone stairs (887 sf including patio, walls & stairs),
replacement of asphalt driveway with cobblestone and extension (45 sf), replace existing stone walkways
with new stone (115 sf), replace planting bed stone border with new stone border (53 sf).” The Board
granted the appeal and revoked the zoning permit for “final grading of 8” – 12” new topsoil to match
neighboring lawn elevations” for the reason that this component of the work is subject to Development
Review Board review.
At the hearing on #AO-22-01, the applicant testified that they had already placed some fill not in
conjunction with construction of a structure, though less than the requested 8 – 12 inches. This
application is for Development Review Board approval of the revoked portion of #ZP-22-071, including
the fill already placed. This is therefore an after-the-fact application. If the Board approves this
application, the applicant may retain the already placed fill and add additional fill to achieve the
requested 8” – 12” new topsoil to match neighboring lawn elevations as shown on the submitted plan.
Staff recommends the Board review the draft decision, discuss the project with the applicant, and close
the hearing.
