(lot #1) and 7,096 sq. ft. (lot #2), and to join lot #2 with the 7,273 sq. ft. lot located at 5 Maryland Street, 12 Ledoux Terrace. PERMIT HISTORY The Project is located in the Residential 4 district. The Development Review Board reviewed a version of the application on August 23, 2017 (#SD-16-16). Board comments at that time were that the newly created lot must have frontage. This issue has been addressed in this application by proposing to join the newly created lot #2 to the existing lot located at 5 Maryland Street. COMMENTS Administrative Officer Ray Belair and Development Review Planner Marla Keene ("Staff") have reviewed the plans submitted on October 4, 2017 and offer the following comments. Numbered items for the Board's attention are in red. CONTEXT The current application is to subdivide an existing lot into two lots. The first lot will retain the existing dwelling unit and accessory buildings, while the newly created vacant second lot is proposed to be joined to an existing lot fronting on Maryland Street. The lot fronting on Maryland Street, and all lots abutting the second lot, are owned by the City of Burlington. Ledoux Terrace and Maryland Street comprise a loop connected to Airport Drive which likely sees little through traffic. 1. Staff recommends the Board discuss the purpose of the subdivision with the applicant. ZONING DISTRICT & DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS Density The R4 district has a minimum lot size of 9,500 sq. ft. and a maximum density of four (4) units per acre. The proposed size of Lot #1 is 9,500 sq. ft. Lot #2 will be less than the minimum lot size, but when combined with the 5 Maryland Street, will exceed the minimum lot size. The combined acreage of Lot #1, Lot #2 and 5 Maryland Street is 0.55 acres. With the combined development potential for two (2) units, this subdivision meets the density and minimum lot standards for the district. Setbacks & Lot Dimensions The existing dwelling unit is located within the front yard setback, and the existing garage and shed are located within the side yard setback. The degree of non -conformity will not be changed by the proposed subdivision. The existing building coverage is 10.6% and the proposed building coverage for Lot #1 is 18.6%. Both of these values are below the allowable maximum of 20% building coverage. The existing lot coverage is 14.8% and the proposed lot coverage for Lot #1 is 25.9%. Both of these values are below the allowable maximum of 40% lot coverage.
