ALLEN ROAD LAND CO. — 200 ALLEN ROAD
PRELIMINARY PLAT APPLICATION #SD-13-10
FINDINGS OF FACT AND DECISION
Allen Road Land Company, hereinafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking preliminary subdivision
plat review to re -subdivide five (5) lots into four (4) new lots, 200 Allen Road, 66 Irish Farm Road, and
270 & 282 Bay Crest Drive.
The Development Review Board held a public hearing on May 7, 2013. Skip McClellan represented the
applicant.
Based on the plans and materials contained in the document file for this application, the Development
Review Board finds, concludes, and decides the following:
Allen Road Land Company, hereafter referred to as the applicant, is seeking preliminary subdivision plat
review to re -subdivide five (5) lots into four (4) new lots, 200 Allen Road, 66 Irish Farm Road, and 270 &
282 Bay Crest Drive.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1. The applicant is seeking preliminary subdivision plat review to re -subdivide five (5) lots into four (4)
new lots, 200 Allen Road, 66 Irish Farm Road, and 270 & 282 Bay Crest Drive.
2. The owner of record of the subject property is Allen Road Land Company.
3. The subject property is located in both Residential 1 and Residential 2 Zoning Districts.
4. The application was received on March 4, 2013.
5. The plans submitted consists of a two (2) page set of plans, page two (2) entitled "Irish Manor
Subdivision, A Larkin Realty Property, Allen Road, South Burlington, Vermont", prepared by Ruggiano
Engineering dated 01-07-13; last revised on 3/29/13.
The Board finds that as no new construction or development is proposed a full review of the project for
consistency with Section 15 Subdivision and Planned Unit Development Review is not warranted.
The proposed subdivision of land eliminates a 0.1 acre sliver lot and transfers a total of 0.5 acres from
the other three lots to the larger existing 7.0 acre lot. The proposed subdivision results in two 0.3 acre
lots, one 0.4 acre lot and one 7.6 acre lot.
The minimum lot size in this district is 22,000 SF or 0.5 acres. The lots as they exist today are smaller
than this, but are proposed to be even smaller as a result of the land transfer. In so doing, the proposed
subdivision would also result in an existing drainage swale (currently located on all four lots) being only
located on the proposed new 7.6 acre lot. This would eliminate the need to create a drainage easement

on the 3 smaller lots should they be sold in the future. Therefore, the applicant is seeking a lot size
waiver for three of the lots.
There is an existing single family house on the resulting 7.6 acre lot, but applicant does not propose any
further land development as part of this application. All of the lots, existing and proposed, belong to the
same property owner.
Building coverage information for the three (3) developed lots is noted on sheet C-1 of the plan set and
indicates that the maximum building coverage of 20% will not be exceeded.
6. The Board will grant a waiver to create three lots that are non -conforming with the minimum lot
size requirement of 22,000 SF.
7. The Board finds that all property lines to be dissolved should be so noted on the survey plat.
DECISION

following conditions:
1. All previous approvals and stipulations which are not superseded by this approval shall remain in
effect.
2. The Board hereby grants a waiver to create three lots that are non -conforming with the minimum
lot size requirement of 22,000 SF.
