TO: South Burlington Development Review Board
FROM: Marla Keene, Development Review Planner
SUBJECT: CU‐19‐01 268 Market Street
DATE: June 18, 2019 Development Review Board meeting
Snyder‐Braverman Development Co., LLC, has submitted conditional use application #CU‐19‐01 to extend the
regulations of the Form Based Code Transect 4 zoning district up to fifty (50) feet into the Form Based Code
Transect 5 zoning district to allow construction of a driveway access nearer than currently permitted to Market
Street, 268 Market Street.
At the May 7, 2019 hearing, the Board continued the application because the applicant’s request is to support
development of one of the lots that the applicant proposes to subdivide in concurrent sketch plan application
SD‐19‐10. The applicant has not submitted any new information. Topics discussed at the May 7 hearing are
summarized below.
1. The Board determined they would consolidate review of SD‐19‐10 and CU‐19‐01.
2. The applicant explained that they wish to locate a service alley behind the building they’re proposing
on the corner of Garden and Market Streets. The Board discussed whether there were alternative
building configurations that would allow 85% frontage buildout within the T5.
3. The applicant clarified that they were fine with only extending the regulations of the T4 zoning district
for the lot currently contemplated for development, and the Board confirmed they would be able to
ask for other adjustments as needed.
4. In general the Board was comfortable with extending the regulations of the T4 zoning district once the
issues identified in SD‐19‐10 were resolved.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Board consider whether it is appropriate to close the hearing on the conditional use
application based on the results of the conversation about the associated sketch plan, SD‐19‐10.
