Airport Parkway.
On the 14th of February, 1995, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the request of Paul Adams for site plan review
under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations
based on the following findings:
1. This project consists of site modifications and constructing a
4,800 square foot addition to a 12,000 square foot
wholesale/warehouse/distribution building approved on 7/23/91. The
applicant obtained a variance from the ZBA at their 2/13/95 meeting
to allow the addition to project into the 65 foot setback
requirement from a residential district boundary line.
2. This property located at 1890 Airport Parkway lies within the
IC District. It is bounded on the north by undeveloped property
zoned residential, on the east and south by undeveloped property
and on the west by several small businesses including an auto body
shop.
3. Access/circulation: Access to the property is via an existing
30 foot right-of-way from Airport Parkway. This right-of-way also
serves as the access to the body shop. No changes proposed.
Circulation is adequate.
4. Coverage/setbacks: Building coverage is 15.3% (maximum allowed
is 30%). Overall coverage is 41.6% (maximum allowed is 70%).

65 foot setback requirement from a residential district boundary.
The ZBA previously granted a variance for the existing building and
approved the applicant's request for a variance for the addition on
2/13/95.
The building setback line along the northerly boundary should be
revised to reflect the 65 foot setback requirement.
6. Landscaping: The minimum landscaping requirement for the
original building and the proposed addition, based on building
costs, is $10,200 which is not being met. Plantings proposed are
$850 short of the requirement and include Sugar Maple, White Pine,
Viburnum and Arborvitae. Site plan should be revised to add
additional plantings to meet the minimum requirement.
7. Parking: A total of six (6) parking spaces are required and 10
spaces including one (1) handicapped space are being provided. A
bike rack should be provided as required under Section 26.253(b) of
