Motion passed unanimously. t Continued Site Plan Application #SP-07-38 of Yun Poon for an accessory residential unit, 60 Hinesburg Road: Speaking for the applicant, Ms. Poon said there had been 2 issues at the prior hearing: the existence of another property owned by the applicant and the square footage. She advised the Board that the other property had been sold and Mr. Poon was now living in this property. The square footage of the accessory unit has been reduced to 496 sq. ft. Mr. Belair said the draft decision will be amended to reflect the reduction in square footage. Mr. Dinklage advised the applicant that although he had not been present at the first -1- SOUTH BLALINGTON DEVELOPMENT REVj,-v W BOARD 10 JULY 2007 hearing, he had reviewed the testimony. Ms.. Poon had no problem with Mr. Dinklage participating in this hearing. Mr. Dinklage noted there has been an issue in the city with the number of people living in dwellings. He reminded the applicant that a single family dwelling can be occupied by no more than 4 unrelated adults. He asked if the applicant was prepared to comply with this regulation. Ms. Poon said Mr. Poon would comply. Ms. Brown, who lives next to the applicant's house, asked how many people would live in the unit. Ms. Poon said probably 2 as it is very small. Ms. Brown noted there is another house in the neighborhood that appears to have many residents. The windows of this house are also boarded up. Mr. Dinklage suggested Ms. Brown speak with Mr. Belair about this. Ms. Quimby then moved to approve Site Plan Application #SP-07-38 of Yun Poon subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Mr. Farley seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Site Plan Application #SP-07-43 of Steve Bushey to amend a previously approved plan for a 14,220 sq. ft. retail building. The amendment consists of landscaping modifications and other minor site modifications, 2500 Williston Road: Ms. Pettersen said the building is now occupied by Pet Food Warehouse and Earl's Cyclery.

Ms. Quimby moved to approve Site Plan Application #SP-07-43 of Steve Bushey subject to the stipulations in the draft motion. Mr. Farley seconded. Motion passed unanimously. 6. Site Plan Application #SP-07-44 of Vermont Gas to amend a previously approved plan for a 16,665 sq. ft. general office building. The amendment consists of constructing two new parking areas, 85 Swift Street: Mr. Mallowney said they will be adding 6 spaces in front and 8 in the rear lot. Mr. Dinklage asked where water from the new parking areas will drain. Mr. Maloney said it is sheet drainage. Mr. Dinklage said that means it goes into the wetland. He asked about mitigation. Mr. Mallowney said they have done some "informal" mitigation, including some big blocks which prevent rapid runoff. Mr. Belair suggested asking the engineer to design something simple and bring it back to the next meeting. Mr. Dinklage felt that the "blocks" should be shown on the plan. -2- SOUTH BURLINGTON PLANNING & ZONING 575 DORSET STREET SOUTH BURLINGTON, VT 05403 (802)846-4io6 July 25, 2007 Yun Poon 60 Hinesburg Road South Burlington, VT 05403 Re: Minutes - 60 Hinesburg Road Dear Mr. Poon: For your records, enclosed is a copy of the approved July 10, 2007 Development Review Board meeting minutes.

COMMENTS Associate Planner Cathyann LaRose and Administrative Officer Ray Belair, referred to herein as staff, reviewed the plan submitted on May 29, 2007, and have the following comments. A CCESSOR Y RESIDENTL4 L UNITS Pursuant to Section 3.10(E)(1) of the proposed Land Development Regulations, in any district where a single-family residence is a principal permitted use, one (1) accessory residential unit within or attached to a primary single-family residence or within an existing, permitted accessory structure may be permitted by the DRB in accordance with Article 14, Site Plan Review, and the following additional criteria: (a) Floor space of the accessory residential unit shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total habitable area of the single-family dwelling unit. According to tax records, the single family dwelling unit is 1848 SF. The accessory residential unit is proposed to be 554 SF, or 29.9% of the habitable area of the principal dwelling. Thus, the applicant is in compliance with this criterion. (b) The principal dwelling shall be owner occupied. Given the importance of this requirement, the City asks that the property owner/applicant furnish an affidavit and supporting documentation that truly demonstrate that the property owner resides in the principal dwelling. 1. The principal dwelling shall remain owner -occupied. The applicant shall furnish an affidavit affirming his principal address prior to issuance of a zoning permit. (c) Adequate wastewater capacity is available to service the accessory unit, as demonstrated by the issuance of a Wastewater Allocation or on -site wastewater permit pursuant to the South Burlington Sewage Ordinance. 2. If necessary, the applicant shall apply for wastewater allocation from Juli Beth Hinds, Director of Planning and Zoning. (d) Two additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot, either in a garage or a driveway, or not in any areas required to meet coverage limitations, or any front yard other than a driveway, required by these Regulations. The site plan shows a total of 4 parking spaces. This is sufficient to satisfy this requirement. (e) A zoning permit shall be required for the accessory residential unit. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\goon\accessory unit.doc 3. The applicant shall obtain a zoning permit from the Administrative Officer for the accessory residential unit. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: (a) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and adequate parking areas. There is adequate consideration given to pedestrian movement and parking on the site. (b) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable. Parking is to the front and side of the building. However, given that the nature of the project as a single-family residential use, staff finds this layout acceptable and in harmony with the rest of the neighborhood. (c) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or adjoining buildings. The height of the accessory dwelling unit is within the limits specified by the SBLDR. (d) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. The applicant has not proposed any additional lighting as part of this application. (e) The DRB shall encourage the use of a combination of common materials and architectural characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions between buildings of different architectural styles. The principal residential dwelling and accessory unit are in compliance with this criterion. (t) Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain, and to existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed structures. The principal residential dwelling and accessory unit are in compliance with this criterion. Site plan apolications shall meet the followina specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations: (a) The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial of collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\goon\accessory unit.doc Staff does not feel it is necessary to require any additional access easements as part of the proposed project. (b) Electric, telephone and other wire -served utility lines and service connections shall be underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. (c) All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s). The applicant has indicated that trash will be kept inside the unit except for trash pickup. (d) Landscaping and Screening Requirements This criterion is not applicable as no new development is proposed. Traffic This project will not generate a sufficient amount of traffic to warrant concern or further review. Other The proposed accessory unit is to be located in the basement. While the City does not have building codes, the State does. This proposal would likely require changes from the state, including egress provisions, which could affect this application. 4. Prior to permit issuance, the applicant shall obtain necessary permits form the State Division of Fire and Safety. Staff recommends that the Development Review Board approve Site Plan application #MS-07-38 subject to the conditional items above.

According to tax records, the single family dwelling unit is 1404 SF. The accessory residential unit is proposed to be 663 SF, or 47% of the habitable area of the principal dwelling. Thus, the applicant is not in compliance with this criterion. Even if the board were to deem the unfinished portion of the basement as "habitable," thus resulting in a total square footage of 1848 SF, the proposed 663 SF of accessory apartment use is 35.9%, also in excess of the maximum allowed. (b) The principal dwelling shall be owner occupied. The City tax records indicate that the owner of record for this property is also the owner of record of other residential properties in the City. Given the importance of this requirement, the City asks that the property owner/applicant furnish an affidavit and supporting documentation that truly demonstrate that the property owner resides in the principal dwelling. 1. The principal dwelling shall remain owner -occupied. The applicant shall furnish an affidavit affirming his principal address The applicant shall also furnish documentation that this is his principal residence. A VT Homestead Declaration or IRS tax documentation might be appropriate. (c) Adequate wastewater capacity is available to service the accessory unit, as demonstrated by the issuance of a Wastewater Allocation or on -site wastewater permit pursuant to the South Burlington Sewage Ordinance. 2. If necessary, the applicant shall apply for wastewater allocation from Juli Beth Hinds, Director of Planning and Zoning. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 3 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\bose\conditional use acces.doc (d) Two additional off-street parking spaces shall be provided on the same lot, either in a garage or a driveway, or not in any areas required to meet coverage limitations, or any front yard other than a driveway, required by these Regulations. The site plan shows a total of 4 parking spaces. This is sufficient to satisfy this requirement. (e) A zoning permit shall be required for each accessory residential unit. 3. The applicant shall obtain a zoning permit from the Administrative Officer for the accessory residential unit. SITE PLAN REVIEW STANDARDS Section 14.06 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations establishes the following general review standards for all site plan applications: (a) The site shall be planned to accomplish a desirable transition from structure to site, from structure to structure, and to provide for adequate planting, safe pedestrian movement, and adequate parking areas. There is adequate consideration given to pedestrian movement and parking on the site. (b) Parking shall be located to the rear or sides of buildings to the greatest extent practicable. Parking is to the front and side of the building. However, given that the nature of the project as a single-family residential use, staff finds this layout acceptable and in harmony with the rest of the neighborhood. (c) Without restricting the permissible limits of the applicable zoning district, the height and scale of each building shall be compatible with its site and existing or adjoining buildings. The height of the accessory dwelling unit is within the limits specified by the SBLDR. (d) Newly installed utility services and service modifications necessitated by exterior alterations or building expansions shall, to the extent feasible, be underground. The applicant has not proposed any additional lighting as part of this application. (e) The DRB shall encourage the use of a combination of common materials and architectural characteristics, landscaping, buffers, screens and visual interruptions to create attractive transitions between buildings of different architectural styles. The principal residential dwelling and accessory unit are in compliance with this criterion. (� Proposed structures shall be related harmoniously to themselves, the terrain, and to existing buildings and roads in the vicinity that have a visual relationship to the proposed structures. The principal residential dwelling and accessory unit are in compliance with this criterion. CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON 4 DEPARTMENT OF DEVELOPMENT REVIEW BOARD PLANNING & ZONING \drb\misc\bose\conditional use acces.doc Site plan applications shall meet the following specific standards as set forth in Section 14.07 of the South Burlington Land Development Regulations: (a) The reservation of land may be required on any lot for provision of access to abutting properties whenever such access is deemed necessary to reduce curb cuts onto an arterial of collector street, to provide additional access for emergency or other purposes, or to improve general access and circulation in the area. Staff does not feel it is necessary to require any additional access easements as part of the proposed project. (b) Electric, telephone and other wire -served utility lines and service connections shall be underground. Any utility installations remaining above ground shall be located so as to have a harmonious relation to neighboring properties and to the site. Pursuant to Section 15.13(E) of the Land Development Regulations, any new utility lines, services, and service modifications shall be underground. (c) All dumpsters and other facilities to handle solid waste, including compliance with any recycling or other requirements, shall be accessible, secure and properly screened with opaque fencing to ensure that trash and debris do not escape the enclosure(s). The applicant has indicated that trash will be kept inside the unit except for trash pickup. (d) Landscaping and Screening Requirements This criterion is not applicable as no new development is proposed. Traffic This project will not generate a sufficient amount of traffic to warrant concern or further review. Staff recommends that the Development Review Board deny Site Plan application #MS-07-38. At this time, the proposed square footage is not in compliance with the maximums allowed under the ordinance. Furthermore, staff has concerns that the location will be owner -occupied. Until these issues can be resolved to the satisfaction of staff and in accordance with the South Burlington Land Development Regulations, this application cannot be approved.
