FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
STATE OF VERMONT
COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, preliminary plat application of Jeffrey & Elizabeth Goldberg to
subdivide a 12.92 acre parcel into five (5) lots of 2.17 acres (lot # 1), 2.17 acres (lots #2),
1.73 acres (lot #3), 1.92 acres (lot #4), and 4.55 acres (lot #5), 1760 Dorset Street.
On the 19th of September, 2000, the South Burlington Development Review Board
approved the preliminary plat application of Jeffery and Elizabeth Goldberg under
Section 203 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following
findings:
1. This project consists of subdividing a 12.92 acre parcel into five (5) lots. This lot is
currently developed with a single family residence. The lot being subdivided was lot #3 of
subdivision approved on 4/12/77. Sketch plan was considered at the December 7, 1999
meeting of the Development Review Board.
2. The owners of record are Jeffery and Elizabeth Goldberg
3. This property located at 1760 Dorset Street lies within the SEQ District. It is bounded on
the north, south and east by residences and on the west by Dorset Street.
4. Access: Access to this property is currently provided by a 60 foot private r.o.w. running
east - west along the northerly boundary of this property and serving the original five (5) lot
subdivision. The existing r.o.w currently serve three existing homes. The applicant
proposed using the same 36 foot wide curb cut leading to a thirty foot access drive that
tapers to a 15 foot drive (24 foot minimum). Staff recommended that the 36 foot wide
section be extended to the eastern edge of Lot #3 and no curbing be required for this access
road. As part of this property's original approval, it was required that if more lots were
created off of this 36 foot access road, the road should be brought to City standards. This
access road is, in part, depicted as a future City street on the City's Official Map. The
applicant is proposing a new 15 foot r.o.w. outside of the existing r.o.w. to serve the three
(3) new developable lots to be created. The 30-foot wide section of the access drive for
approximately 600 feet is to be turned over to the City, but the rest of this proposed drive
will remain private.
5. Coverage/Setbacks: The building footprints are depicted on the plans. All appear to
meet setback requirements.
6. Lot size/frontage: The minimum lot size requirement of 12,000 square feet and the
minimum frontage requirement of 100 feet are being met.
7. C.O. District: A portion of the property is located within the C.O. District created by the
minor stream running north - south through the property. This stream is delineated on the
plans. The 4/12/77 approved plat shows a non -buildable area that extends 100 feet either
side of the minor stream.
8. Non -buildable area: No development or portions of lots are proposed in the non -buildable
area. The entire non -buildable area is proposed to be an open space lot. The 4/12/77
approved plat shows a non -buildable area that extends 100 feet either side of the minor
stream. This non -buildable area is shown on the plat. Lot #5 is designated as non -buildable.
The ownership of Lot #5 should be addressed by the applicant.
9. Recreation path: The Recreation Path Committee reviewed this proposal at their l l/l/99
meeting. They recommend a 20 foot path easement parallel to Dorset Street, on the east
side of Dorset Street and no closer than 10 feet to the road. This is being shown on the
plans.
10. Sewer: The applicant is requesting a sewer allocation of 2,168
11. Impact Fees: The applicant should expect to pay road, recreation, school, and all other
applicable impact fees.
