LARRY & LESLIE WILLIAMS —1630 DORSET STREET
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION #SD-13-04
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Larry & Leslie Williams, hereinafter referred to as the applicant, are requesting preliminary plat plan
review to amend a previously approved planned unit development consisting of a six (6) lot subdivision.
The amendment consists of resubdividing the six (6) lots into 10 lots for a total of 11 units, 1630 Dorset
Street.
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on April 2, 2013. Larry Williams represented the
applicant.
Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The annhrant is sPPking annrnval to amenrl a nrPvinutly annrnvPrl nlannPrl emit rlPVPlnnmPnt
consisting of a six (6) lot subdivision. The amendment consists of resubdividing the six (6) lots into 10
lots for a total of 11 units, 1630 Dorset Street.
2. The owners of record of the subject property are Larry & Leslie Williams.
3. The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Zoning District and Village Residential
Subdistrict.
4. The application was received on February 5, 2013
5. The plans submitted consists of an ten (10) page set of plans; page one (1) entitled "Plan of Lands of J.
Larry & Leslie Williams 1630 Dorset Street South Burlington, VT; prepared by Lamoureux & Dickinson
Consulting Engineers, Inc. dated 1-15-13.
DENSITY
The base density of the parcel generated by the land at 1.2 units per acre, based on 7.97 acres, is 9
units. The maximum units allowed, in accordance with Chapter 9 of the South Burlington Land
Development Regulations and determined by the Village residential sub -district, are 63 units.
The applicant is proposing 9 new lots with 10 new units, with one existing dwelling to remain, for a total
of 11 units within the PUD. Therefore, two (2) additional development rights shall be needed.
The applicant should submit legal documents pertaining to the option to purchase the two Transferred
Development Rights to the City Attorney for approval, prior to Final Plat approval.

#SD-13-04
The applicant should submit legal documents showing clear ownership of the necessary development
rights to the City Attorney for approval, prior to issuance of a zoning permit for the 101h new unit.
ACCESS
The applicant is proposing to serve all lots via a 24' wide paved public roadway in a 50' Right of Way. This
meets the standards set forth in Table 9-4, Street Design Criteria for Local Streets in the SEQ-VR zoning
district. Furthermore the applicant is proposing that the roadway be narrowed to 20 feet at the wetland
crossing. The applicant is also proposing to include a hammer -head turnaround for the furthest extent of
the road, located at the northern property line, until such time as the road may be connected to the north.
This road design (width and end design) was previously approved as part of the 6-lot subdivision approved
in 2007. No changes proposed.
LOT LAYOUT & ROAD CONFIGURATION
The Board has reviewed the proposed lot layout in accordance with the Regulating Plan illustrated in
Article 9 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations. The Board finds that the project does
not meet the strict guidelines of the SEQ which call for short development blocks and limits the lengths
of roadways, in order to minimize impacts on the wetlands which traverse the site from north to south
and fit into the unique shape of the lot. In this case of competing objectives, the Board finds that the
design presented achieves the best possible layout given the restrictions on the site. Lot width to length
ratios are met with this proposal.
DESIGN STANDARDS
The proposed project shall be subject to the design guidelines pursuant to Section 9.08 of the SBLDRs.
The Board has already addressed the project's compliance with the lot layout and road configuration.
The applicant addressed the Residential Design, pursuant to Section 9.08(C) of the Regulations, including
building orientation, building facades and front building setbacks, placement of garages and parking,
and mix of housing types. He submitted a "Housing Options" plan showing six (6) different types of
houses all of which appeared to meet this requirement.
The applicant should submit preliminary sketches which illustrate the general layout of the units.
Building envelopes have been shown in order to demonstrate that the units will meet the maximum
front building setback and respect a 25 foot wetland buffer for which a waiver is needed.
TRAFFIC
The 11 units proposed as part of the PUD are not estimated to generate much measureable traffic;
therefore the Board finds that there is no need for any traffic studies or technical reviews.
WETLANDS
The subject property contains identified Class II and Class III wetlands. The building envelope as proposed
on several of the lots will encroach into the 50 foot Class III buffer. Furthermore, Sadie Lane as proposed
encroaches into the 50 ft. buffer of a Class II wetland located to the property to the south.

#SD-13-04
The Board finds that the proposed road, though in conflict with the buffer of the wetland to the south, is
located in the most appropriate position on the lot given that it allows for the greatest contiguous areas
of open space on the property and that it aligns itself with an already approved recreational path
easement. Furthermore, the applicant has narrowed the width of the roadway where it crosses the
wetland buffer to 20 feet, the narrowest allowable under the land development regulations. The
proposed road had previously received a State Wetlands Conditional Use Determination for the
roadway's Class II wetland buffer impacts.
Furthermore, the applicant's wetland expert testified before the Natural Resources Committee with
respect to a previous application that the proposed Class III buffer impacts will have no adverse impacts
on the major functions of the wetlands. The Board realizes that it is difficult to balance all natural
resources protection with appropriate development and infrastructure planning. In this case, the Board
strongly feels that the alignment of the road far outweighs the encroachment into the minor wetland
buffer, particularly one which will not be adversely impacted by the development.
As nearly every lot is impacted by a large area of wetland or wetland buffer, the Board discussed these
potential encroachments. Lots 5-8 potentially have adequate room to include a home close to the
roadway, and with proper delineation with fencing or landscaping may avoid the buffer completely.
Lots 2-4 are smaller lots and will also have less room to avoid the 50 foot wetland buffer. The Board
supports the creation of these lots with a 25 foot wetland buffer provided the plans make it clear that
homes are to be close to the street, and the backyards are delineated to sufficiently prevent usage of
the wetland or buffer as living or recreational space. Possibilities include a relatively dense line of planted
cedars, split rail fencing, or other physical barrier between what is to be the grassed lawn area and the
more sensitive wetland buffer.
The Board supports the proposed wetland buffer encroachment provided that additional measures of
protection are instituted, including the buffer delineation and limitations on fertilizers and mowing.
DIVERSITY OF HOUSING TYPES
Section 9.08 C (5) of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations states that "a mix of housing
types is encouraged within neighborhoods and developments. Housing types should be mixed within
blocks, along the street and within neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of
identical housing types." The proposed plans identify only single family homes. The Board previously
discussed the plan's conformance with this goal and were generally in favor of the development as the
variety of housing types would be achieved through means other than just unit size and make-up
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Pursuant to Section 9.02 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations: "These regulations
hereby implement the relevant provisions of the City of South Burlington Comprehensive Plan, and any
adopted amendments to such plan, and are in accord with the policies set forth therein. In the event of
a conflict between the Southeast Quadrant chapter and other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan, the
Southeast Quadrant chapter shall control."

#SD-13-04
SOUTHEAST QUADRANT DISTRICT
This proposed subdivision is located in the southeast quadrant district. Therefore it is subject to the
provisions of Section 9 of the SBLDR.
9.06 Dimensional and Design Requirements Applicable to All Sub -Districts
The following standards shall apply to development and improvements within the entire Southeast
Quadrant Zoning District.
A. Height.
(I) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-NRP, SEQ-NRT, or SEQ-NR sub -district
shall not exceed forty-five feet (45'); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to
occupied structures in these sub -districts.
(2) The maximum height of any occupied structure in the SEQ-VR or SEQ-VC sub -district shall not
exceed fifty feet (50'); the waiver provisions of Section 3.07(E) shall not apply to occupied structures
in these sub -districts.
The Table of Uses and Dimensional Standards (Appendix C) also specifies the maximum building height
for the SEQ-NR District. The maximum height for principal buildings (flat) is 25 feet, and the maximum
height for principal buildings (pitched) is 28 feet. Maximum story heights also apply.
B. Open Space and Resource Protection.
(1) Open space areas on the site shall be located in such a way as to maximize opportunities for
creating usable, contiguous open spaces between adjoining parcels.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met by proposing that the houses be placed close to the
street thereby leaving contiguous open space amongst lots 1-4 & 10 and amongst lots 5 — 9.
(2) Building lots, streets and other structures shall be located in a manner consistent with the
Regulating Plan for the applicable subdistrict allowing carefully planned development at the average
densities provided in this bylaw.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met.
9.07 Regulating Plans
A. Description and Regulatory Effect. The regulatory text of this Article is supplemented with
illustrations, officially known as the Regulating Plan, illustrating the dimensional and design concepts.
The Regulating Plan contains basic land planning and neighborhood design criteria that are intended to
foster attractive and walkable neighborhood development patterns. Design criteria and guidelines set
forth below are intended to address basic neighborhood design relationships related to scale,
connectivity, and overall orientation that promote pedestrian friendly development as follows in Section
9.07(C).
-4—
C:\Users\Mark\Documents\South Burlington DRB\5.7.13 Meeting Decisions\SD_13_04_1630DorsetStreet_Larry&LeslieWilliams_ffd.doc
#SD-13-04
The Regulating Plan is an illustrative guide; it does not have the same force of regulation as does the text
in this bylaw. However, the Development Review Board will refer to both the Regulating Plan and the
text of this section in its project reviews
B. General Provisions
(1) The Regulating Plan shall apply to new development within the SEQNRT, SEQ-NR, SEQ-VR and SEQ-VC
sub -districts.
(2) All residential lots created on or after the effective date of this bylaw in any SEQ sub -district shall
conform to a standard minimum lot width to depth ratio of one to two (1:2), with ratios of 1:2.5 to 1:5
recommended.
C. Street, Block and Lot Patterns
(1) Overall Criteria: Development criteria within the Street, Block and Lot Pattern section are intended to
provide pedestrian -scaled development patterns and an interconnected system of streets that allow
direct and efficient walking and bicycling trips, and decrease circuitous vehicular trips.
(2) Street Design: The intention of street design criteria is to provide a system of attractive, pedestrian -
oriented streets that encourage slower speeds, maximize connections between and within
neighborhoods, and contribute to neighborhood livability.
(3) Building Design: The intention of the building design guidelines is to ensure that new housing and
commercial development reinforce a pedestrian friendly environment, while allowing creativity in design.
(3) A plan for the proposed open spaces and/or natural areas and their ongoing management shall be
established by the applicant.
(4) Sufficient grading and erosion controls shall be employed during construction and after
construction to prevent soil erosion and runoff from creating unhealthy or dangerous conditions on
the subject property and adjacent properties. In making this finding, the Development Review Board
may rely on evidence that the project will be covered under the General Permit for Construction issued
by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
(5) Sufficient suitable landscaping and fencing shall be provided to protect wetland, stream, or
primary or natural community areas and buffers in a manner that is aesthetically compatible with the
surrounding landscape. Chain link fencing other than for agricultural purposes shall be prohibited
within PUDs; the use of split rail or other fencing made of natural materials is encouraged.
C. Agriculture. The conservation of existing agricultural production values is encouraged through
development planning that supports agricultural uses (including but not limited to development plans
that create contiguous areas of agricultural use), provides buffer areas between existing agricultural
operations and new development, roads, and infrastructure, or creates new opportunities for
agricultural use (on any soil group) such as but not limited to community -supported agriculture.
Provisions that enhance overall neighborhood and natural resource values rather than preservation of
specific soil types are strongly encouraged.
D. Public Services and Facilities. In the absence of a specific finding by the Development Review Board
that an alternative location and/or provision is approved for a specific development, the location of
buildings, lots, streets and utilities shall conform with the location of planned public facilities as
depicted on the Official Map, including but not limited to recreation paths, streets, park land, schools,
and sewer and water facilities.

#SD-13-04
(1) Sufficient water supply and wastewater disposal capacity shall be available to meet the needs of
the project in conformance with applicable State and City requirements, as evidenced by a City water
allocation, City wastewater allocation, and/or Vermont Water and Wastewater Permit from the
Department of Environmental Conservation.
(2) Recreation paths, storm water facilities, sidewalks, landscaping, utility lines, and lighting shall be
designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and infrastructure to
adjacent properties.
(3) Recreation paths, utilities, sidewalks, and lighting shall be designed in a manner that is consistent
with City utility plans and maintenance standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant
related to maintenance that has been approved by the City Council.
6. See findings above related to recreation paths.
(4) The plan shall be reviewed by the Fire Chief or his designee to insure that adequate fire protection
can be provided, with the standards for evaluation including, but not limited to, minimum distance
between structures, street width, vehicular access from two directions where possible, looping of
water lines, water flow and pressure, and number and location of hydrants.
E. Circulation. The project shall incorporate access, circulation and traffic management strategies
sufficient to prevent unsafe conditions on of adjacent roads and sufficient to create connectivity for
pedestrians, bicycles, vehicles, school transportation, and emergency service vehicles between
neighborhoods. In making this finding the Development Review Board may rely on the findings of a
traffic study submitted by the applicant, and the findings of any technical review by City staff or
consultants.
See findings above related to circulation.
(1) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is compatible with the extension of such services and
infrastructure to adjacent properties.
(2) Roads shall be designed in a manner that is consistent with City roadway plans and maintenance
standards, absent a specific agreement with the applicant related to maintenance that has been
approved by the City Council.
The City Engineer shall review the plans prior to final plat approval.
(3) The provisions of Section 15.12(D) (4) related to connections between adjacent streets and
neighborhoods shall apply.
9.09 SEQ-VR Sub -District; Specific Standards
The SEQ-NR sub -district has additional dimensional and design requirements, as enumerated in this
Section.

#SD-13-04
A. Street, Block and Lot Pattern
(1) Development blocks. Development block lengths should range between 300 and 500 linear feet. If
longer block lengths are unavoidable blocks 500 feet or longer must include mid -block public sidewalk
or recreation path connections.
(2) Interconnection of Streets. Average spacing between intersections shall be 300 to 500 feet. Dead
end streets (e.g. cul-de-sacs) are discouraged. Dead end streets may not exceed 200 feet in length.
Street stubs are required at the end of dead end streets to allow for future street connections and/or
bicycle and pedestrian connections to open space and future housing on adjoining parcels per section
15.12(D)(4).
The Board finds that this requirement is being met as the proposed street will be designed to connect to
the property to the north in the event that that property is developed.
(3) Street Connection to Adjoining Parcels. Street stubs are required to be built to the property line
and connected to adjacent parcels per section 15.12(D)(4) of these Regulations. Posting signs with a
notice of intent to construct future streets is strongly encouraged.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met as the proposed street will be designed to connect to
the property to the north in the event that that property is developed.
(4) Lots shall maintain a minimum lot width to depth ratio of 1:2, with a ratio of 1:2.5 to 1:5
recommended.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met,
B. Street, Sidewalk & Parking Standards
(1) Street dimensions and cross sections. Neighborhood streets (collector and local) in the VR sub-
district are intended to be low -speed streets for local use that discourage through movement and are
safe for pedestrians and bicyclists. Dimensions for public collector and local streets shall be as set
forth in Tables 9-3 and 9-4, and Figures 9-8 and 9-9 below.
(2) Sidewalks. Sidewalks must be a minimum of five feet (5') in width with an additional minimum
five-foot planting strip (greenspace) separating the sidewalk from the street. Sidewalks are required
on one side of the street, and must be connected in a pattern that promotes walkability throughout
the development. The DRB may in its discretion require supplemental sidewalk segments to achieve
this purpose.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met as the property is currently served by an existing
recreation path running east -west and a new sidewalk is proposed to run along the east side of the new
street running north -south.
(3) Street Trees; see Section 9.08(B) (3)
Street trees are required along all streets in a planting strip a minimum of five feet wide. Street trees
shall be large, deciduous shade trees with species satisfactory to the City Arborist. Street trees to be

#SD-13-04
planted must have a minimum caliper size of 2.5 to 3 inches DBH, and shall be planted no greater than
thirty feet (30') on center.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met as street trees are being proposed.
(4) On -street parking; see Section 9.08(B) (4).
No on -street parking proposed.
(5) Intersection design. Intersections shall be designed to reduce pedestrian crossing distances and to
slow traffic; see Figure 9-6 and Section 9.08(B)(5).
(6) Street and sidewalk lighting. Pedestrian -scaled light fixtures (e.g., 12' to 14') shall be provided
sufficient to ensure pedestrian safety traveling to and from public spaces. Overall illumination levels
should be consistent with the lower -intensity development patterns and character of the SEQ, with
lower, smoother levels of illumination (rather than hot -spots) and trespass minimized to the lowest
level consistent with public safety.
The Board finds that this requirement is being met as one (1) street light is proposed at the intersection
of Dorset Street and the proposed street.
C. Residential Design
(1) Building Orientation. Residential buildings must be oriented to the street. Primary entries for
single family and multi -family buildings must face the street. Secondary building entries may open
onto garages and/or parking areas. (Special design guidelines apply to arterial streets). A minimum of
thirty five percent (35%) of translucent widows and surfaces should be oriented to the south.
(2) Building Facades. Building facades are encouraged to employ a theme and variation approach.
Buildings should include common elements to appear unified, but facades should be varied from one
building to the next to avoid monotony. Front porches, stoops, and balconies that create semi -private
space and are oriented to the street are encouraged.
The Board finds that the above requirements are being met as shown on the "Housing Options" plan
submitted by the applicant.
(3) Front Building Setbacks. In pedestrian districts, a close relationship between the building and the
street is critical to the ambiance of the street environment. Buildings should be set back twenty-five
feet (25') from the back of sidewalk. Porches, stoops, and balconies may project up to eight feet (8')
into the front setbacks.
The Board finds that the above requirement is being met as all the lots have building envelopes which
allow the houses to be as close as 20 feet to the front property line in compliance with the minimum
setback for the district.
(4) Placement of Garages and Parking. See Section 9.08(C)(4) and Figure 9-7. The front building line of
the garage must be set behind the front building line of the house by a minimum of eight feet. Rear
Alleys are encouraged for small lot single-family houses, duplexes, and townhouses.

The Board finds that the above requirement is being met as indicated on the "Housing Options" plan
submitted by the applicant.
(5) Mix of Housing Types. A mix of housing types is encouraged within neighborhoods and
developments. Housing types should be mixed within blocks, along the street and within
neighborhoods rather than compartmentalized into sections of identical housing types.
The Board finds that the above requirement is being met as indicated on the "Housing Options" plan
submitted by the applicant.
