CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: NRT Realty, LLC - Site Plan Approval and Special Use Permit for 140,000 sq. ft. retail facility with 33,000 sq. ft. outdoor garden center and associated parking located on the south side of Bridge Street, owned by Joseph N. Lata, Jr., Debra A. Morel and Anthony & Dorothy M. Dimastrantonio. [B-2 Zone; Map 1, Block 12, Lots 4, 8. 9, 10 & 11]. (Deadline to close hearing extended to 10/14/08):
Chairman Ouellette read the description of the Public Hearing. Appearing to discuss this Application was Attorney T. Mark Barbieri, representing the Applicant; Jay Ussery of J. R. Russo and Associates, Professional Engineer; Scott Hesketh, of F. A. Hesketh and Associates, Traffic Engineer; and Robert Trigg, President of NRT Realty, LLC, the Applicant. Also present in the audience was the Lata Family and Attorney Tim Smith. Attorney Louis Flynn, Attorney for Tony Dimastrantonio, also joined the meeting a short time later.
Attorney Barbieri noted the following issues pending from the previous meeting: 1) sidewalks; and 2) additional information regarding the traffic study.
Mr. Ussery reported that after discussion with staff they are able to provide sidewalks along the frontage on Bridge Street proposed for development, and along the site driveway into the parcel. There are also sidewalks along the frontage of Bridge Street along the properties across the street. The Applicant will provide a crosswalk from the north side of Bridge Street across Route 140 to the site. A 50’ strip of land remains to the south of the parcel. Topography in that area is not good; the Applicant is not proposing to provide sidewalks in that area. Mr. Ussery also noted there are three parcels between the 50’ strip and the parcel under discussion; as they will not be owned by the Applicant there is no proposal for sidewalks along those three properties at present.
Chairman Ouellette noted he understands the reasoning for the lack of sidewalks not under the Applicant’s control; he questioned if sidewalks could be provided in the future if the ownership changes? Mr. Ussery felt the sidewalks could be extended at the Commission’s request, as any developer would come before the Commissioner with an application.
Mr. Scott Hesketh, of F. A. Hesketh and Associates, opened discussion on the pending traffic issue - the queue length along Bridge Street/Route 140 for the southbound ramps of the I-91 interchange. Mr. Hesketh presented a memo dated October 3, 2008 which summarized his findings. Mr. Hesketh gave a detailed explanation of various components of the computer program computation, including the calculation of vehicle queue lengths. Based on additional collection of data, and program calculations, Mr. Hesketh reported that with regard to the eastbound queue at the intersection with the southbound ramp they anticipate a reduced queue length of 475’ during the peak p.m. hours, and 395’ during the Saturday midday peak hour, which he feels is somewhat of an over-estimation of both the queue lengths
and the trip generation. As the Commission had requested additional information Mr. Hesketh reported he also looked at the saturation flow rate for the intersection. Under ideal circumstances the saturation flow rate would be 1900 vehicles/hour/lane. Mr. Hesketh reported they studied the area on two occasions and developed the following rates: an afternoon saturation flow rate of 2100 vehicles/hour/lane, and a Saturday saturation flow rate of 2103 vehicles/hour/lane. Using a default value of 2050 vehicles/hour/lane they determined the intersection would provide a level of service B or C. They have now determined the queue analysis to be 475’ where they were previously showing a queue analysis of 800’ to 900’. Based on this new field data Mr. Ussery provided a topo map of the area on which he has shown both the queue length under discussion this evening - shown as a red line,
and the 800’ - 900’ distance previously reported - shown as a yellow line. Mr. Ussery noted the 800’ - 900’ range is approximately double the current calculations. Mr. Ussery also noted the proposed site driveway is beyond the distances shown on this topo. The Commission agreed the topo helped them understand the distances better. Chairman Ouellette reported he is comfortable/satisfied with the revised analysis.
Attorney Barbieri noted Town Engineer Norton has submitted a supplemental memo indicating he is comfortable with the responses to the questions asked.
Chairman Ouellette noted the consensus of the Commission at the previous meeting was that the parking proposed by the Applicant, which is less than required by the regulations, is adequate for the site. He reviewed the process for approval of the proposed number of parking spaces. Town Planner Whitten concurred that the Commission has the right to vary the number of parking spaces; acceptance of the Application as proposed approves the parking as presented. A separate vote on the variance of the parking spaces is not necessary. It was noted it was also not necessary to vote on acceptance of the sidewalks separately.
Chairman Ouellette queried if the Applicant is agreeable to the proposed conditions, which includes a condition regarding extension of the sidewalks across the three parcels not presently part of this application if those parcels were developed commercially? Attorney Barbieri and Mr. Ussery, speaking on Mr. Trigg’s behalf, replied affirmatively.
Mr. Hesketh reported he has made a submission to the State Traffic Commission, which includes the revised traffic analysis presented this evening.
Chairman Ouellette queried the audience for comments; no one requested to speak.
Chairman Ouellette questioned if the Commission need more time, or more information, regarding this Application? The Commission felt that everything they had asked for had been submitted.

NEW HEARING: Proposed Text Amendment to Section 502 Permitted Uses In Business & Industrial Districts, to allow Day Care Facilities in an M-1 Industrial District.
Chairman Ouellette read the hearing description. Town Planner Whitten reported this text amendment was something the Applicant had applied for prior to the revision of the new regulations. The Commission was on board with the proposal, which has been heard, reviewed, acted on and filed, but the use was not put in the chart for the rewritten regulations. The request is to have a daycare center under a Special Use Permit as an accessory use to an athletic club or hotel located within an industrial district. Town Planner Whitten recalled that some concerns were raised with regard to traffic and possible conflict with trucking terminals in the same vicinity but under a Special Use Permit both those issues could be controlled. Chairman Ouellette clarified that the proposal would allow this
use townwide; such a use could be proposed for Thompson Road. The Commission would have to consider each proposal as a separate case.
Town Planner Whitten noted this proposed text amendment has been referred to CRCOG; they have found no conflict with the proposal.
Chairman Ouellette queried the audience for comments; no one requested to speak.

NEW HEARING: Four Fathers, Inc., dba Sports World – Special Use Permit to allow a Child Day Care Center at the Sports World Complex at 226 Main Street, East Windsor, owned by Michael Fioretti. [M-1 Zone; Map 4, Block 12, Lot 301]. (Deadline to close hearing 11/18/08):
Chairman Ouellette read the hearing description. Appearing to discuss this proposal was Mike Fioretti and Mike Chechette, owners of Four Fathers, Inc. dba Sports World, and Kristen Bruno, head teacher for the proposed facility.
Mr. Fioretti reported that during the day there is not a lot going on at the facility as most of the activities occur during the evening. A proposal for a day care facility has always been anticipated; they are proposing a facility for 20 to 25 children aged 3, 4, and 5. The plan is to close the facility to everyone from the outside from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. when the day care will be in session. As there are some activities that occur between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. they plan to separate the building and have a separate entrance for those activities and a separate entrance for the day care facility.
Town Planner Whitten questioned if there would be any outside area for the children to use? Mr. Fioretti reported they would probably initially use the area which is currently enclosed with a 4’ high fence, and may move outside activities to the volleyball court in the Spring.
Chairman Ouellette questioned if parking at the facility is still a problem? Mr. Fioretti replied affirmatively, noting that on rare occasions they can utilize the “municipal lot” at the police station. Mr. Chechette noted that they plan to target a drop off area which they delineate with cones for people dropping off and picking up their children. Town Planner Whitten noted they have had discussions about revising their site plan to reduce the parking problems.
Chairman Ouellette recalled that at one time the Applicants had come before this Board with a proposal for a liquor permit; he questioned if that remains part of their business plan? Both Mr. Fioretti and Mr. Chechette replied negatively; noting they were trying to address requests from an adult clientele. As the business has evolved they realize that isn’t a good match.
Commissioner Devanney if they have discussed use of the emergency entrance as a permanent ingress and egress with the Fire Marshal and Building Official? Mr. Fioretti indicated they will review the issue with the Building Official; they could go out the front door and follow the walkway around to the day care entrance. Commissioner Devanney didn’t feel this was a significant issue but they may need to provide a second entrance.
Commissioner Farmer liked the proposal but noted there are no sidewalks from the municipal lot to the facility; that really isn’t a good solution, especially in the Winter. Chairman Ouellette noted parking along the driveway isn’t a good solution either. While the additional parking may not be an issue with this Application the overall issue of parking needs to be addressed.
Chairman Ouellette queried the audience for comments; no one requested to speak.

NEW BUSINESS: Southern Auto Sales, Inc. – Modification of Approved Site Plan to allow construction of a 2,304 square foot building addition at 205 South Main Street, owned by LCC Partnership. B-1 & A-1 Zones; Map 34, Block 22, Lot 4] (Deadline for decision 11/13/08):
Chairman Ouellette read the description of this Item of Business. Appearing to discuss this proposal was Attorney T. Mark Barbieri, representing the Applicant, and Jay Ussery of J. R. Russo and Associates.
Mr. Ussery reported this site currently contains two previous tobacco sheds which have been converted to auto use. Building B is used by Hondo Motor Cars for review of vehicles coming through for auction, necessary repairs are written up and the vehicles sent on to be reconditioned, etc. Hondo needs a second lane; they are proposing a 96’ by 24’ addition which will include sanitary facilities. There is no increase in impervious coverage as the area is all impervious now; there will be a slight increase – 1/10th of 1% - in building coverage. The addition has been approved by the North Central Health District; Town Engineer Norton has reviewed the proposal and has no concerns. Mr. Ussery described the various points of access to the site, and the various uses
of same – some are used by employees to move from this site to the main auction site without going onto the main roads. Mr. Ussery noted the front building has always been a “write-up” building for vehicles being dropped off at 205 Main Street from various dealers, and has also been used for security. The back bard has been used by Honda for a number of years. Attorney Barbieri reported this proposal also keeps the employees out of the weather while they do the vehicle inspections.
