The addition of a 10 foot by 50 foot paved area between the concrete pad of the 3,600 square foot building that has been removed and the existing building at 9 Green Mountain Drive will provide for moving vehicles between the concrete pad and the 9 Green Mountain Drive building. No other changes to access and circulation are proposed. 5. Pam. The South Burlington Zoning Regulations require one space per 500 square feet of gross building area, or 45 spaces (22,495 SF/500 SF=45). 48 parking spaces, including four handicapped spaces, are shown on the plans. An additional 2,955 square feet of paved area is proposed at the southwest corner of the lot but is not shown on the plans as being striped for parking. 6.

The maximum for the C2 district is 70%. There is no change to the front yard coverage. Coverage limits are therefore met. 7. Setbacks: No changes affecting setbacks are proposed. 8.
