SEPTEMBER 11, 1978 Appeal of Irene Casey seeking a variance from Section 11.00, Dimensional requirements of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations. Request is for permission to construct a detached 24' a 24' garage to within twenty (20) feet of the northerly rear yard line, at 22 Wright Court. Mr. Ward said that the area was zoned R4 and that the minimum required. rear yard was 30' where 201 is proposed. A variance was granted in 1973 to construct an addition to the building to within 20' of the rear line. The existing 19' a 21' garage will be removed in order to put up the new one. Mrs. Casey said that the new garage would be 24' wide by 21' deep, not 24' deep, but they will stay 20' from the rear line. She said that when her husband died she needed income from the house, so she made the addition into an apartment. She felt that putting the garage in the place intended would be more attractive for the neighbors and would also let light into the apartment, which would not be let in if the garage were farther forward. She also noted that her rear line abutted the cemetary and that none of her neighbors objected to the plan. One part of the garage will be for the tenant. The appeal was granted unanimously. No. 6 Appeal of Larry and Rolande English Appeal of Larry and Rolande English seeking a variance from Section 13.67, Swimming pool requirements of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations. Request is for permission to construct a 16' x 32' swimming pool to within six (6) feet of the rear yard line, at 29 O'Brien Drive. Mr. Ward said the area was zoned R4 and that the lot in question was set off under the 1964 ordinance, where the minimum lot size required was 10,000 square feet. The minimum yard size for having a swimming pool is 15' and the proposed in -ground pool would be within 6' of the rear yard line. This is a corner lot. Mr. English said this was the only place he could put a pool because it was a corner lot. If he moved it towards Barrett Street, he would not need a variance but it would look like it was in the front yard for the people on that street. Mr. English showed the Board the steps to the raised deck on the back of the house and the sidewalks which would prevent him from putting the Pool much closer to the house and towards Barrett Street. There will be a stockade fence around the pool and 3' sidewalks on both sides. Mr. English said the housewouldlook funny if he removed the deck to make way for the pool and added that it would not be economically feasible to do that. He said that if the pool had to be drained, a truck would come and take the water out and put it right back in later. The neighbor most affected is 30' from the property line and his home has no windows on the side that faces the pool. The appeal was approved unanimously. No. 7 Appeal of Raymond Bowen and Sandra Thurston Appeal of Raymond Bowen and Sandra Thurston seeking a variance from Section 11.00, Dimensional requirements of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations. ZONING BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT 5. SEPTI�PMER 11, 1978 Request is for ,permission to construct a 24' x 44' detached garage to within six (6) feet of the easterly side yard and twenty-five (25) feet of the rear yard, at 18-20 Elizabeth Street. Richard Ward told the Board that the area was zoned R4 and that the minimum side yard required was 15' where proposed and existing is 6'. The minimum rear yard is 30' and proposed is 25'. The existing 22 1/2' x 18 112' garage will be removed and the new one erected in the same location. The garage will not encroach farther on either the side or rear yards. Mr. Bowen said that he and Miss Thurston owned a duplex jointly and that they both owned two cars, one of which was driven only in the winter and one driven only in the summer. The tenants in the other side of the duplex have one car, so there are 5 cars now on the property. Since the garage is very small, all of the cars are parked in the driveway now. The existing garage is 27-28 years old and in very bad shape. All the neighbors favor the change, he said. They want to have a garage with one side for the tenants to use and one side in which they can park the two cars that they are not using in that season. It would be a 4-car garage. The appeal was granted unanimously.

The proposed use will involve construction of a canoe access, picnic and parking area. The parcel contains 8 acres of land. Mr. Russel Agnee said that he was South Burlington's representative on the Park District, which is a municipal corporation of which the city is one of the 5 members. He said that this would be a rental property and that if it is approved, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation money would be used in setting it up. A parking area for 12 cars will be made and a gravel road constructed. The area is flooded annually. There will be a few picnic tables and a chain across the road at night. Pis.
