The Development Review Board held a public hearing on November 18, 2014. Dave Lachtrupp represented the applicant. Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following: FINDINGS OF FACT 1. The amendment consists of creating two (2) footprint lots, 110 Chipman Street & 53 Frost Street. 2. The owners of record of the subject properties is Gristmill Builders, Ltd. 3. The application was received on October 17, 2014. 4. The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Zoning subdistrict. 5. The plan submitted is entitled “Plat of Survey Lot 31 Townhouses South Village 110 Chipman Street & 61 Frost Street”, dated October 15, 2014 and prepared by Civil Engineering Associates, Inc. Dimensional Standards: The applicant proposes to create two (2) fooprint lot lines in between the individual dwelling units and including front and year yard areas with each dwelling unit previously approved in this subdivision. This action would create non-conforming lots (being of insufficient individual size, and having zero setback in between each unit on a lot) and therefore will not be considered individual lots for the LDRs. For purposes of the LDRs, the two footprint lots included in this proposal shall be considered one lot (Lot 31) as approved previously. The applicant will be required to record a “Notice of Condition” to this effect which has been approved by the City Attorney prior to recording the final plat plan. #SD-14-31 2 DECISION Motion by _________________________, seconded by __________________, to approve Final Plat Application #SD-14-31 of Gristmill Builders, Ltd. subject to the following conditions: 1.

Three (3) copies of the approved revised plat shall be submitted to the Administrative Officer prior to recording the plat. a. The plat shall be revised to indicate the correct address of the Frost Street lot as #53 not #61. b. The plat shall be revised to include the seal and signature of the land surveyor. 4. For purposes of the LDRs, all lots included in this subdivision shall be considered one (1) lot as approved previously. The applicants shall record a “Notice of Condition” to this effect which has been approved by the City Attorney prior to recording the final plat plans. 5. A digital PDF version of the full set of approved final plat shall be delivered to the Administrative Officer before recording the final plat plan. 6. Any changes to the final plat plan shall require approval of the South Burlington Development Review Board. 7. The final plat plan (survey plat) shall be recorded in the land records within 180 days or this approval is null and void.
