CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON
Re: Findings of Fact, application of Atlantic Cellular/Cellular
One for conversion of a vacant 7,190 square foot building to
cellular telephone sales and service use at 3 Baldwin Avenue.
On the 14th of August 1990, the South Burlington Planning
Commission approved the above referenced site plan under Section
19.10 of the South Burlington Zoning Regulations based upon the
following findings:
1. Atlantic Cellular proposes to renovate the former Regal
Optical building on Baldwin Avenue for use as a cellular tele-
phone sales and service. The footprint of the building will be
changed with the addition of an entrance vestibule. Two (2) new
overhead doors will be added at the south end to accommodate
vehicle access to the interior for installing car phones.
2. Access/Circulation: Access is via one (1) 20 foot curb cut
on Baldwin Avenue to a 20 foot access drive. Circulation will be
adequate due to appropriate aisle widths in the parking area.
3. Setbacks/Coverage: The building is currently non -complying
along the front, east side and rear setbacks. Since this is an
existing condition, no variance is required. The front yard
coverage, as proposed is 22% (maximum allowed is 30%). Building
coverage is 26% (maximum allowed is 30%).
4. Parking: 14 parking spaces are required and 15 spaces are
being provided including 1 handicapped space. Size of parking
spaces and width of aisle meets minimum requirements.
5. Traffic: This property is in Zone 4 of the Traffic Overlay
District which allows 23 peak hour trip ends. Based on I.T.E.
trip rates, the use will generate 11 peak hour trip ends. The
property is located within the limits of the Shelburne Road
Traffic Impact Policy.
6. Landscaping: The proposed use requires $7,500 in new land-
scaping. The landscape plan shows Norway maple, Japanese Lilac
and Yew which meets the required value.
7. Sewer: The proposed use is estimated to generate a sewage
flow of 105 gpd.
