FINDINGS OF FACT & DECISION
STATE OF VERMONT
COUNTY OF CHITTENDEN
CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of William and Nancy Jacobus and Christopher and Janet Bishop, to
amend a planned residential development consisting of 97 multi -family units and 45 single family
units, Bay Crest Road. The amendment consists of adjusting the property line between two (2)
developed lots, 9 and 11 Bay Crest Road.
On the 2" day of February, 1999, the South Burlington Planning Commission approved the request
of William and Nancy Jacobus and Christopher and Janet Bishop for revised final plat approval under
Section 204 of the South Burlington Subdivision Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of amending a previously approved planned residential development for a
boundary line adjustment between two (2) developed lots. The Zoning Board of Adjustment on
12/28/98 granted a variance from the side yard setback requirement for the dwelling on lot #28. The
sketch plan was reviewed on 1/12/99.
2. These properties located at 9 Bay Crest Road (lot #29) and 11 Bay Crest Road (lot #28) lie within
the R2 District. They are bounded on the north, east and west by residences and on the south by Bay
Crest Road.
3. Access: Each lot has a curb cut on Bay Crest Road. No changes proposed.
4. Lot size/frontage: The minimum lot size requirement is currently 19,000 square feet. The
proposal is to reduce the size of lot #29 from 16,877 square feet to 16,483 square feet. The Planning
Commission may approve this reduction in lot size under Section 8.404 of the zoning regulations.
5. The minimum frontage requirement is currently 100 ft. The proposal is to reduce the frontage of
lot #29 from 100 feet to 95 feet and increase the frontage of lot #28 from 90 feet to 95 feet. These
resulting frontages are consistent with the other lots in the development. The Planning Commission
may approve this reduction in frontage under Section 8.404 of the zoning regulations.
6. The proposed lot sizes are consistent with other lots in the development.
7. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage for lot #28 is 19% and for lot #29 is13.7% (maximum
allowed is 20%). Overall coverages appear to be met.
8. Side setback requirements for lot #28 are not met as a result of where the building was built and
not because of the boundary adjustment. The Zoning Board of Adjustment on 12/28/98 granted a
variance from the side setback requirements for the house on lot #28 as was originally constructed.
The house on lot #29 meets the setback requirements.
