PROJECT DESCRPTION
Sketch plan application #SD-18-08 of Snyder -Braverman Development Co., LLC to subdivide a 5.53 acre
parcel into five (5) lots, ranging in size from 0.57 acres to 2.10 acres, and to adjust the boundary
between a previously -conveyed 0.62 acre right of way easement to the City of South Burlington and a
sixth 4.20 acre lot for the purpose of conformance with the Official Map, 310 Market Street.
CONTEXT
The Applicant is proposing to subdivide one existing parcel into five lots and to adjust the boundary line
between a sixth lot and the future Garden Street ROW in preparation for development on Lots C, D and
F. Lots E and G will be the location of future stormwater facilities. Lot B is involved in this application due
to the ROW adjustment, and plans for its future development are unknown at this time. The development
of Lots C through G will be subject to administrative review through the Form Based Code process. The
DRB is responsible for review of subdivisions within the Form Based Code district to ensure that the
proposed lots are legal and developable. Therefore these staff comments focus on those elements of the
proposed subdivision and omits discussion of the proposed development except as relevant to the DRB's
authority.
COMMENTS
Development Review Planner Marla Keene and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, hereafter referred to as
Staff, have reviewed the plans submitted by the applicant and have the following comments.
A) ZONING DISTRICT & DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS
There are no minimum lot dimensions within the T4 district. The lot width must be between 70 feet and
120 feet within the T3 district. Proposed Lot G is located within the T3 district and is 269 feet wide.
Because the developer has represented that Lot G will be used for stormwater facilities, and the lot
dimensions are intended to drive the development of buildings to be a size consistent with the downtown
character of the City Center district, Staff has no concerns with the proposed lot width for Lot G.
Street standards within the T4 district apply to the proposed realignment of Garden Street and to the
subdivision of Lots C and D. The applicant is proposing a single shared access easement off of Garden
Street to be used by both Lots C and D. This access is consistent with the standard of 400' minimum
distance between curb cuts not including street intersections.
The remainder of the district's dimensional requirements pertain to buildings and parking and will be
reviewed administratively as part of the Form Based Code site plan approval process.
B) SUBDIVISION STANDARDS
Roads, utilities, sidewalks, recreation paths, and lighting
The applicant has proposed a 60-foot ROW for future Garden Street. The City Council approved a
76.5-foot ROW for Garden Street. The proposed ROW alignment is correct, but it is not wide enough. The
Applicant is working with the Director of Public Works and City Council to determine if an alternative cross
section which places some of the required Garden Street infrastructure on private land may be acceptable.
2
Therefore both the proposed ROW width and the required ROW width may be adjusted prior to the
preliminary plat hearing for this subdivision.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board discuss the project with the applicant and close the meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
