Re: Findings of Fact, application of Local 300 Realty Corpora-
tion for construction of a 6,400 square foot two (2) story office
building and vocational training center, 3 Gregory Drive.
On the 26th of August 1991, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Local 300 Realty Corporation
for site plan review under Section 19.10 of the South Burlington
Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of the construction of a two (2) story
6,400 square foot office building and vocational training center.
The Zoning Board of Adjustment granted a conditional use permit
on July 22, 1991 for the vocational center and multiple use.
2. This property is located at 3 Gregory Drive (lot #2A) and is
within the Mixed Industrial and Commercial District. It. is
bounded to the north by an office building (Reprographics), on
the west by a vacant lot off Green Tree Drive on the south by an
industrial building containing Marquis Brothers Foundations and
on the east by Gregory Drive.
3. Access: Access to the property will be via an existing 26
foot curb cut. on Gregory Drive located on the abutting lot to the
south (lot #2B). The Planning Commission approved the one (1)
curb cut design on March 24, 1987 when it approved the subdivi-
sion of lot #2 into lots #2A and #2B. Lot #2B shows a 301x75'
access easement to provide for legal access to lot #2A. The
legal documents providing this legal access should be reviewed
and approved by the City Attorney prior to permit.
4. Parking/Circulation: This project requires a total of 26
parking spaces and 43 spaces are being provided including two (2)
handicapped spaces. Required number of spaces was calculated
based on the entire building being for office use since there
are no parking requirements for vocational training. Parking
stall dimensions and aisle widths meet the minimum requirements.
The site plan indicates that. only 15 parking spaces area re-
quired.
Circulation pattern on the site is acceptable.
5. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 8.9% (maximum al-
lowed is 30%). Overall coverage is 52.5% (maximum allowed is
70"%). Front yard coverage is 16% (maximum allowed is 30%).
All setback requirements will be met..
6. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement of $7,200
will be met. Plantings will include Yew, Juniper, Honey Locust
and Crabapple. The City Engineer indicated that a tree would be
planted on top of the water and sewer services and that any trees
should be planted at least 10 feet away.
7. Sewer: The sewer allocation for this project would be 450
gpd. The applicant would have to pay the $2.50 per gallon fee
prior to permit.
8. Lighting;: Five (5) 200 watt High Pressure sodium exterior
lights are proposed. These lights will be attached to the build-
ing.
9. Other: A dumpster is proposed for the south-westerly corner
of the rear parking area. It will be screened.
