FINAL PLAT APPLICATION #SD-10-35
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Gardner Construction, Inc. is seeking final plat approval to amend a previously approved three
(3) lot subdivision. The amendment consists of connecting two (2) of the lots to the City's sewer
system in place of on -site septic systems, 22 & 30 Highland Terrace.
The Development Review Board held public hearings on December 7, 2010, January 4, and
May 17, 2011. Brad Gardner represented the applicant.
Based on testimony provided at the above mentioned public hearing and the plans and
supporting materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. Gardner Construction, Inc. is seeking final plat approval to amend a previously approved
three (3) lot subdivision. The amendment consists of connecting two (2) of the lots to the City's
sewer system in place of on -site septic systems, 22 & 30 Highland Terrace.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is Gardner Construction Inc.
3. The application was received on November 12, 2010.
4. The subject property is located in the Southeast Quadrant Zoning District.
5. The plans submitted consist of a two (2) page set of plans, page one (1) entitled "Site Plan
Gardner Construction Inc, Revision to ww-4-2773 for Connection to Municipal Sewer Highland
Terrace South Burlington, VT", prepared by McCain Consulting Inc, dated 4/26/11.
The applicant is seeking to connect the proposal to municipal wastewater rather than on -site
septic. The Director of Public Works has reviewed the plans and has stated that they are
acceptable. The only comment is that the applicant shall provide a mechanism for monitoring
wastewater usage for sewer billing. Most wastewater billing is based on water usage; as the
subject property will be utilizing well -water, the property will require a separate meter.
