Re: Miscellaneous use application #MS-02-03 of John P. Larkin to build within the
restricted area defined in the Southeast Quadrant Map under Section 6.501 (h) of the
South Burlington Zoning Regulations. The applicant proposed constructing a single
family residence with a building envelope of 80 feet by 100 feet entirely within the
restricted area, 1955 Dorset Street.
On the 14t` of May 2002, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the
request of John P. Larkin for approval under Section 6.501 (h) of the South Burlington
Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1) This project consists of a request to construct a single family residence with a
building envelope of 80 feet by 87 feet entirely within the restricted area, 1955
Dorset Street. This project was last approved at the 9/19/2000 Development
Review Board hearing. The approval lapsed. The applicant sought re -approval of
the same project. This project was last reviewed by the Development Review
Board on 4/16/02, for a 80 x 87 foot building envelope.
2) The owner of record is John P. Larkin.
3) This property located at 1955.Dorset Street is within the Southeast Quadrant on
an undeveloped parcel within the restricted area. The parcel is bounded by single-
family dwellings on the north, south, on the west by Dorset Farms, and on the east
by Dorset Street.
Criteria of Section 6.606
4) In the initial application in 2000, the previous applicant submitted a report
addressing these criteria. The proposed house has setback similar to the adjacent
houses, but may be twice the scale of the existing homes. This will provide for
continuous open space behind the existing and proposed homes. There are no
known natural resources on this parcel and have little potential for agricultural
use, therefore the applicant did not address these criteria with this application.
5) Access/Circulation: Access is provided via a single 20 foot wide curb cut on Dorset
Street. Circulation is not an issue.
6) Setbacks: The building envelope meets all setback requirements.
7) South Burlington Water Department: The applicant removed their request for city
