FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION

COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, final plat application of Robert Shand to subdivide a 4.58 acre lot into two lots
at 5 Ethan Allen Drive.
On the 18th of April, 2000, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the final plat
application of Robert Shand under Section 204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations
based on the following findings:
1. The proposed subdivision will create two lots: a 2.22-acre lot (#1) and a 2.36-acre lot (#2). Lot One
is developed with a 12,050 square foot light manufacturing/warehouse building. The preliminary plat was
approved on February 15, 2000.
2. The owner of record of this particular property is Robert Shand.
3. The property at 5 Ethan Allen Drive is within the IC District. It is bounded on the north and west by
Shamrock Road. Ethan Allen Drive borders the eastern edge of the property. The lands of John Belter
bound the property on the south.
4. Access/Circulation: There are currently three points of access. An existing 18' curb cut on the eastern
portion of Lot One currently provides access from Ethan Allen Drive to the existing building on that lot.
A second point of access is located east along Ethan Allen Drive. This 30' curb cut serves Lot One. The
third point of access is along the southeastern edge of Lot One. This point of access was previously an
unapproved curb cut, but will be realigned resulting in a 20' curb cut slightly north of the existing access.
This realignment will provide access to Lot Two from Ethan Allen Drive along the southeastern edge of
Lot One.
5. Lot Size/FrontaM Lot One and Lot Two both exceed the 40,000 square foot minimum lot size
requirements. Both lots also meet the minimum 120 feet frontage requirement.
6. Coverage/Setbacks: Lot One's proposed building coverage is 12.5% (maximum allowed is 301/6).
Overall coverage is 24.6% (maximum allowed is 701/6). Front yard coverage is 19.5% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Lot Two's proposed building coverage is 9.7% (maximum allowed is 30%). Overall coverage
is 17.9% (maximum allowed is 70%). All proposed setbacks are met.
7. C.O. District: An ecologist was retained to delineate the boundaries of a wetland along the
southern portion of Lots One and Two. The plat illustrates the wetland area and a 50' wetland
buffer. The wetland buffer has been delineated across the entire property as per the requirements
of the Conservation and Open Space. No encroachment is proposed.
8. Floodplain Overlay District: The final plat illustrates that the southern portion of Lots One and
Two are within the 100-year floodplain overlay district. No construction proposed within the
floodplain.
