COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
DECISION AND FINDING OF FACT
On the 14th day of August 1995 the South Burlington Zoning Board
of Adjustment heard testimony regarding the variance application
of Harry Lindberg, 3 Patrick Street.
Based upon the testimony provided at the above mentioned public
hearing and the documents submitted to the Zoning Board of
Adjustment which are contained within the "document file" for
this application, the Zoning Board finds, concludes, and decides
as follows:
Findinqs of Fact
1) The area in question is zoned R-4 District.
2) Section 25.00 of the Zoning by-laws requires a minimum side
yard of 10 feet.
3) The property is developed with a single family dwelling with
an attached 14'x 22' garage.
4) The lot contains 11,250 square feet with 75 foot of frontage.
5) The appellant is requesting a 10'x 22' addition to the
existing garage resulting in a side yard of 5 feet.
Conclusion
1) The appellant is attempting to save trees located within the
rear yard. Trees prevent the extension of the garage to the rear
portion of the lot.
2) The narrowness of the lot limits the use and prevents
construction of a two car garage without some relief.
3) A five (5) foot side yard does not change character of
neighborhood. Property located across the street has a 5 foot
side yard.
4) No opposition, nearest neighbor supports the appellant's
request for a variance.
5) Narrow lot set off in the 1950's, pre -dates adoption of
existing zoning by-laws.
6) Request for a two car garage is not unreasonable and
represents a minimum variance.
IIF
Based upon the findings and conclusion set -forth above, the
Zoning Shard of Adjustment hereby grants the applicants request
to construct a 10'x 22' addition to an existing 14'x 22' garage,
located at 3 Patrick Ar
h&M-MV,
