Re: Findings of fact, conditional use application of Overnite Transportation to install a 3,000
gallon above ground diesel tank and pump on a property developed with an 8400 square foot
truck terminal, 2 Holmes Road.
On the 5' day of October, 1999, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the
conditional use application of Overnite Transportation to install a 3,000 gallon above ground
diesel tank and pump on a property developed with an 8400 square foot truck terminal under
Section 26.05 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of installation of a 3,000 gallon above ground diesel tank and pump on a
property developed with an 8400 square foot truck terminal. The site plan was approved on
9/21 /99.
2. The owners of record of this property are Douglas and Cheryl Hoar.
3. This property located at 2 Holmes Road lies within the C2 District. It is bounded on the north
by Holmes Road, on the east by commercial buildings, on the south by an auto dealership, and on
the west by the railroad r.o.w.
4. The C2 District was "formed in order to encourage general commercial activity." The
proposed fuel tank and pump would be an accessory use to a commercial activity.
5. The proposed use will not adversely affect the capacity of existing or planned municipal or
educational facilities. No effect on municipal facilities is anticipated.
6. The proposed use will not adversely affect the essential character of the neighborhood or
district in which the property is located. The neighborhood includes such uses as: auto
dealerships, warehouse & distribution facility, and retail uses. No adverse effect will result from
the fuel tank.
7. The proposed use will not adversely affect the traffic on roads and highway in the
vicinity. The installation of this tank will result in fewer vehicle trips on public streets due to
ability of the vehicles to fuel up on the premises.
8. The proposed use will not adversely affect the bylaws in effect. This proposal is in
conformance with the bylaws.
9. The proposed use will not adversely affect the utilization of renewable energy resources. There
is no such utilization in the vicinity to be affected.
