Re: Findings of Fact, application of Thomas Kleh for conversion
of a 20,500 square foot building to a restaurant (75 seats) and
indoor recreation use (miniature golf), 1205 Airport Parkway.
On the 9th of July 1991, the South Burlington Planning Commission
approved the request of Thomas Kleh for Site Plan review under
Section 19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on
the following findings:
1. This project consists of converting the former Offset House
building to a pizza restaurant (75 seats) and indoor miniature
golf facility. There will be minor changes to the site and the
only changes to the building will be interior modifications to
accommodate the proposed uses.
2. This property is in the Mixed Industrial and Commercial
District and is located at 1205 Airport Parkway which is on the
corner of Airport Parkway and Berard Drive.
3. This property is bounded on the north by a multi -use indus-
trial building, on the east by an industrial building (welding
business), on the south by Airport Parkway an on the west by
Berard Drive.
4. Access/circulation: Access to the property is provided by
two (2) existing curb cuts, one on Airport Parkway and one on
Berard Drive. Both of these curb cuts are approximately 40 feet
in width and are proposed to provide two-way access.
Circulation through the site is acceptable.
5. Parking: This project requires a total of 35 parking spaces
and 57 spaces are being provided including three (3) handicapped
spaces. Parking stall dimensions and aisle widths meet minimum
equirements. The plan fails to show an existing gravel embank-
ment along the rear of the building adjacent to the 10 space
parking area.
6. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 22.1% (maximum
allowed is 30%). Overall coverage is 55% (maximum allowed is
70%). 14.9'% of the front yard is covered (maximum allowed is
30%) .
All setback requirements are met.
7. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for this
project is $600 and no additional landscaping is proposed. The
site is presently well landscaped. In evaluating landscaping
requirements, the Planning Commission may grant some credit for
1
existing trees or for site improvements other than tree planting
as long as the objectives of Section 19.104 of the zoning regula-
tions are not reduced.
Sewer: The sewer allocation for this project would be 2250 gpd.
The applicant would have to pay the $2.50 per gallon fee prior to
permit.
