On the 1 st of May, 2001, the South Burlington Development Review Board approved the site plan
of Terry Riggs under Section 26.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based on the
following findings:
This project consists of a site plan application for warehousing, storage and distribution
use in conjunction with a contractor's yard not including retail, 16 Lime Rock Road. This
lot, which is currently undeveloped, was previously approved by the Planning
Commission on May 10, 1983. Staff discovered that the applicant was using the
property as proposed without a permit and requested he apply for approval.
2. The owner of record is Terry Riggs.
3. Access/Circulation: Access is proposed via a 30 foot wide curb cut on Lime Rock Road
which leads to a gravel access drive. Circulation on the site is adequate.
4. Coverage/Setbacks: The proposed building coverage is unknown (30% max). This
information was requested and not provided. The previously approved plan calculated
that the maximum building coverage (trailers placed on the lot) would not exceed 16%.
The proposed total coverage is 70% (70% maximum). Front yard coverage information
was not provided. This information should be provided and not exceed 30%. All
setbacks are being met.
Parking: The applicant did not provided a parking area. Since there is no permanent
structure proposed and no on -site employees, no parking area is needed.
6. Traffic: The proposed uses will generate 11.7 additional P.M. peak hour vehicle trip
ends. The applicant should pay the appropriate road impact fee prior to permit issuance.
7. Sewer: No sewer allocation needed.
8. Landscaping: There is no minimum landscaping requirement based on building costs.
One of the previous conditions of approval for this site plan was that street trees as well
as trees along the flood plain be planted. The applicant revised the plans to provide one
Honey Locust and 18 White Cedar to meet these previous requirements worth $775.
9. Lighting_ No lights proposed.
10. Dumpsters: No dumpsters proposed.
11. Floodplain: A portion of this site lies within the Floodplain Overlay District. The plan
should be revised to illustrate the floodplain limits (contour 218). The applicant was
made aware that no fill can be placed in the floodplain and the area in the floodplain can
not be used for any purpose.
