CONTINUED HEARING: East Windsor Limited Partnership - 6-lot industrial resubdivision located at 96 Newberry Road. [M-1 Zone; Map 15, Block 19, Lot 12] (Deadline to close hearing extended to 8/24/07):
Chairman Ouellette read the Hearing description. Appearing to present the Application was Jay Ussery, of J. R. Russo & Associates, representing the Applicant. Mr. Ussery summarized the following issues pending from the previous meeting:
1) discussion of roadway alignment at the corner and expansion of the radius at the intersection of Newberry Road and the private driveway: Mr. Ussery and Town Engineer Norton met with Mr. Cote, the owner of the property at the intersection, regarding easements. Mr. Cote cited concerns regarding the affect of storm drainage on his property; Mr. Ussery indicated no changes have been made to the drainage adjacent to Mr. Cote’s property.
2) roadway alignment at the corner: Mr. Ussery indicated they have added a guardrail at the corner and signage to warn of a sharp curve. He noted Town Engineer Norton also agreed a stop sign was not a good alternative. Mr. Ussery noted he personally drove through that area at 25 mph, the posted speed limit; 25 mph was the fastest he wanted to drive in that area. Town Planner Whitten indicated Police Chief DeMarco visited the site with a plan set; he didn’t have any concerns, and was happy with the plan as proposed. The Traffic Officer who does the calculations has not seen the site but could be
requested to make an inspection if the Commission preferred. Commissioner Menard also noted she visited the site with her husband; on inspection it didn’t appear to be as severe a curve as depicted on the plan. Commissioner Matthews cited a similar road configuration at Broad Brook Road in the Sadds Mill area of Ellington; the road makes a 90 degree turn there as well and the design seems to work well - although he wouldn’t anticipate the same type of traffic in that area. Commissioner Saunders felt the road will be improved and widened; he felt a stop sign would slow traffic down so it would be safe. He felt the traffic being generated there would be traffic from the buildings in that area; he didn’t feel there would be any more traffic going through there then presently occurs.
Chairman Ouellette felt it would become a cut-through for traffic from Route 5; Commissioner Saunders disagreed. Commissioner Gowdy didn’t feel there would be a
significant increase in traffic; anyone using the road would know it’s configuration. Chairman Ouellette questioned if the curves are adequate for large trailer trucks to stay on their side of the road? Mr. Ussery replied affirmatively, noting they do it now. Town Planner Whitten clarified there are regulations currently in place regarding obstructing visibility; it would be the responsibility of the property owner to maintain the proper site distance.
Chairman Ouellette opened discussion to the audience.
Roland Cote, owner of R&R Tool & Die: noted he talked to Mr. Ussery, Town Engineer Norton, and Town Planner Whitten regarding his concerns with increased water on his property. He also noted his interest in Town Planner Whitten’s comment that visibility at the corner would be his responsibility; Town Planner Whitten gave him examples of plantings, etc. which would be problematic. Mr. Cote indicated he is now willing to grant the easements requested by Mr. Ussery. Town Planner Whitten noted the plans must now be revised to reflect the easement; she offered the following options for the Commission’s action: 1) approval with conditions subject to execution of the formal agreement and Town Engineer Norton’s review, or 2) the Applicant can seek an extension.
Chairman Ouellette queried if Town Engineer Norton’s comments offered in his May 8th memo had been addressed? Town Engineer Norton noted the speed limit is set by the Traffic Commission; they would be the entity to install the stop signs as well. He suggested the PZC make a recommendation to the Traffic Commission regarding their preferences. Discussion followed questioning the Commission’s ability to require installation of stop signs; Town Planner Whitten and Town Engineer Norton reviewed the sequence of the approval process, noting the application before the Commission was not a Site Plan Application but rather a Subdivision Application. Town Engineer Norton suggested the speed limit should be 15 - 20 mph, with signage indicating “curve ahead”; he personally
didn’t feel stop signs would be necessary but suggested the Police Commission might still want them.
Mr. Cote, speaking from the audience, questioned if anyone had taken into consideration the people taking classes at Baran Institute? He cited constant Police activity on Newberry Road, with accidents occurring weekly. Chairman Ouellette referenced the Traffic Study prepared for the Applicant.
The Commission reviewed approval options. Town Planner Whitten was requested to send the Police Commission a memo regarding the installation of stop signs. Town Planner Whitten questioned if the new design will meet minimum criteria for a Town road? Town Engineer Norton nodded affirmatively.
Commissioner Menard requested the easement be more clearly defined on the plans. Mr. Ussery felt the easement would not be formally executed by the next Commission meeting but they could present a draft easement.
Mr. Ussery agreed to the Application extension on behalf of his client.
MOTION: To CONTINUE the Public Hearing on the Application of East Windsor Limited Partnership - 6-lot industrial resubdivision located at 96 Newberry Road. [M-1 Zone; Map 15, Block 19, Lot 12] until the Commission’s regularly scheduled meeting on September 11, 2007 at 7:00 p.m. in the Town Hall Meeting Room, 11 Rye Street, Broad Brook, CT.

CONTINUED HEARING: Shoham Road Transfer, LLC - 9 & 11 Shoham Road, owned by 9-13 Shoham Road, LLC [M-1 Zone; Map 5, Block 17, Lots 56 & 57] for a Special Use Permit for the operation of a transfer station. (Deadline to close hearings 8/24/07), AND, NEW HEARING: Shoham Road Transfer, LLC - Amendments to Special Use Permit for operation of Volume Reduction Facility at 9 & 11 Shoham Road, owned by 9-13 Shoham Road, LLC (amending conditions 13, 14, 16, 17, 22 & 26). [M-1 Zone; Map 3, Block 17, Lots S5 & S6] (Deadline to close hearing 9/18/07):
Chairman Ouellette read the Hearing description. Appearing to discuss this Application was Attorney T. Mark Barbieri; Jay Ussery, of J. R. Russo & Associates; Mark Zessin, of Anchor Engineering; and Jonathan Murray and George Roberts of Shoham Road, LLC.
Attorney Barbieri noted he will present information on both Applications together. Town Planner Whitten suggested each Application requires a separate approval motion.
Attorney Barbieri noted the Commission held a Special Meeting on site - 9 to 13 Shoham Road - at which time they reviewed the current operation and noted where the transfer station activity would occur.
Mr. Ussery summarized that the transfer station activity will involve trucks entering Shoham Road off North Road/Route 140, they will enter the property at the most northerly driveway, cross a scale, and back into doors on the southerly side of the building. Material is tipped out onto the floor, pushed into trailers, which are then hauled out by trucks coming back over the scales which measure the amount of materials processed. Attorney Barbieri indicated this material is municipal solid waste (msw), which is kept separate from household waste; the msw materials go back out before the end of the day.
Mr. Zessin summarized the material presented in the traffic study, noting he anticipates there will not be any significant difference with regard to truck traffic on the site as related to the transfer station. Materials will be brought in by larger trucks, thereby reducing the number of trucks using the facility. Mr. Zessin noted access to the site is via a signalized intersection which appears to be working well. The signal presently favors traffic on Route 140; trucks leaving the site must hit a loop detector to initiate a signal for Shoham Road. Mr. Zessin indicated that at the present limit of 200 ton of materials/day the site experiences approximately 130 trips in and out. With an increase to 250 ton of
demolition materials and 250 ton of municipal solid waste trip generation is anticipated to increase to 234 - about 100 more trips per day than presently occurs. Mr. Zessin indicated the Level of Service for the intersection of Shoham Road and Route 140 is presently a B or better for Route 140, and C or better for Shoham Road. He indicated he didn’t expect any change in the present Levels of Service.
Chairman Ouellette questioned the anticipated loading limits of the trucks? Mr. Roberts indicated they currently use 36’ long trucks; this proposal would not require trucks any larger. Chairman Ouellette questioned the distribution of traffic utilizing the site? Mr. Zessin suggested most trucks would come from or head towards the interstate highway; Mr. Roberts concurred, noting only 1 or 2 trucks would be coming from East Windsor. Chairman Ouellette questioned if the DEP has regulations setting a maximum capacity for each facility? Mr. Zessin suggested each site is regulated on a case by case basis. Attorney Barbieri indicated the State has allowed 500 tons for this facility already; he felt when the State is permitting they take into consideration the local permits
as well. Commissioner Matthews cited concern for the evening rush hour. Mr. Zessin indicated this facility would be closed before the evening rush hour on Route 140 occurs. While he saw vehicles start to back up at 3:30 p.m. traffic was at its worse after 5 o’clock on Friday afternoon.
Mr. Murray noted that during the site visit there was a concern raised regarding odor. He indicated they have several methods to control odor, which include: moving material out quickly and not letting it pile up; utilization of a misting system which includes an odor neutralizing agent; spraying the floor with a disinfectant and washing the floor with a power washer. Town Planner Whitten noted that when the facility originally opened they had some issues but there have been no complaints for some time.
Commissioner Matthews cited concern that doors on the south side of the building will remain open, allowing the odor to blow out. Mr. Zessin suggested there are 100+ transfer stations that handle trash - maybe 3 dozen on this magnitude - that leave the doors open all the time; he gave examples of various facilities. He indicated all got their permits renewed, without complaints from the neighbors.
Mr. Murray indicted they have received a proposal for rodent control from a company who has experience in managing rodents for other waste facilities. Boxes will be located in various locations both inside and outside the building and monitored frequently. While they anticipate catching a varmint perhaps twice a month they will keep a log book and revise the frequency as necessary. Mr. Roberts noted this company has been servicing the transfer station inside for some time; this would be an additional service which would be continuous.
Attorney Barbieri noted Town regulations have made transfer stations as an addition to volume reduction facilities; conditions of the volume reduction facilities carry over to transfer stations. Hours of operation for the volume reduction facility are presently 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 6:00 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The hours
of operation for the transfer station would be the same. Commissioner Menard felt 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. would be a troublesome time. Mr. Murray suggested the amount of loads using the facility at that time would be low.
Attorney Barbieri requested the Commission consider allowing the timeframe for this permit to be coordinated with the volume reduction facility permit, which is presently 5 years. Various Commissioners suggested lesser options for permit duration. Chairman Ouellette questioned how long it would take the Applicant to gear up for this operation? Mr. Murray suggested they need to get the DEP permit, and would then construct the wall; he suggested a 2 year permit would be more reasonable. The Commission agreed to a 2 year permit, should approval be granted.
Chairman Ouellette questioned if a bond is posted? Attorney Barbieri indicated the Town could ask for a bond if it chose but usually doesn’t as the bond posted with the State is significant.
Chairman Ouellette questioned how the tonnage is monitored per day? Mr. Murray indicated the scale house is monitored by a system which includes a cut off factor. If the amount of tonnage were getting to the daily maximum the dispatcher would be advised to send trucks to another facility. He noted the amount of tonnage is reported to the State. Discussion continued regarding the daily closing of the facility; material is not retained at the site overnight.
MOTION: To TAKE A FIVE MINUTE BREAK.
Gowdy moved/Saunders seconded/VOTE: In Favor: Unanimous
The Commission RECESSED at 8:40 p.m. and RECONVENED at 8:50 p.m.
Chairman Ouellette queried the audience for comments; no one requested to speak.
Attorney Barbieri initiated discussion specific to the amendment of the regulations for the volume reduction facility. He reviewed each of the conditions under consideration, noting all are being revised to allow language relative to the transfer station. Chairman Ouellette questioned if the amendment is necessary because of the shared use of the facility? Attorney Barbieri replied affirmatively. Chairman Ouellette questioned if the transfer station were in a separate building would the sharing of the conditions not be necessary? Attorney Barbieri indicated probably, but noted they didn’t know the the Town was ready for separate facilities. Town Planner Whitten indicated she was comfortable with the presentation of the Application; it makes sense.
Commissioner Menard felt the reference to “periodic” reporting was too fuzzy; she suggested it needed to be more specific. Attorney Barbieri suggested they used periodic to be able to intensify the reports if necessary, and to not generate as many if the use was working well. Discussion followed regarding various options; Mr. Murray suggested
giving a copy of the reports submitted to DEP to the Town.
MOTION: To CLOSE the Public Hearings on the Applications of Shoham Road Transfer, LLC - 9 & 11 Shoham Road, owned by 9-13 Shoham Road, LLC [M-1 Zone; Map 5, Block 17, Lots 56 & 57] for a Special Use Permit for the operation of a transfer station, AND, Shoham Road Transfer, LLC for Amendments to Special Use Permit for operation of Volume Reduction Facility at 9 & 11 Shoham Road, owned by 9-13 Shoham Road, LLC (amending conditions 13, 14, 16, 17, 22 & 26).

NEW BUSINESS: Raymond Graczyk, 250 Main, LLC - Modification of Approved Site Plan to change from a paved drive to a gravel drive at rear of addition at 250 Main Street, East Windsor. [B-2 Zone; Map 11, Block 15, Lots 2 & 4] (Deadline for decision 9/27/07):
Chairman Ouellette read the description of this Item of Business. Appearing to discuss this Application was Raymond Graczyk. Mr. Graczyk indicated that the plans show a paved access around the back of the building, however, that was never their intent. This access has been gravel since the first addition was added 20 years ago. It is cleared in the Winter to allow truck access but it’s only a drive-around.
Chairman Ouellette recalled discussion during the original application regarding emergency access to the rear of the building. Mr. Graczyk suggested that actually a truck wouldn’t fit back there; they could stop at the corner and bring hoses around. Town Planner Whitten noted she spoke with Town Engineer Norton; he has no concerns regarding this modification.
Chairman Ouellette questioned if there were any drainage issues associated with this area? Mr. Graczyk replied negatively. Commissioner Matthews questioned if this is in a regulated wetlands area? Town Planner Whitten noted there is less impact on the wetlands with the lack of pavement; the drainage is the same with gravel or pavement.
MOTION TO APPROVE the Application of Raymond Graczyk requesting a site plan modification proposing a gravel drive in lieu of pavement at 250 Main Street, Assessors Map 11, Block 15, Lot 2 & 4 (B-2 Zone). This approval is granted subject to conformance with the referenced plans (as may be modified by the Commission )
