PUBLIC HEARING
Chairman McCann reflected on the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting on the second Tuesday of last year on September 11, 2001, stating the meeting was cancelled in respect for the colleagues and friends who lost their lives on that tragic day.  Since that time the Commission has not cancelled any other meetings and has remained vigilant because those who want to do us harm may at times bloody us, but they cannot defeat us.  The Commission is here tonight to carry on business as usual.

Chairman McCann opened the Public Hearing at 7:30 p.m.
Commissioner Evans read the legal notice as published in the Journal Inquirer.

Appl 02-52P, Paul Hunt, request for a 5-year in law apartment for property located at 1090 Avery Street, RR zone

Mr. Hunt was present to propose his application for approval of an in-law apartment at 1090 Avery Street that has already been constructed in the house when purchased for approximately 10 years.  The applicant submitted photos for the Commission to review.

Chairman McCann asked the applicant to review the site and floor plan for the Commission.

Mr. Hunt indicated the in-law apartment fits the criteria of the regulations.  He stated his family members would be living in the home.

Lipe reviewed the Planning Report:

Request for a permit for an in-law apartment at 1090 Avery Street, A-20 zone. This house has an existing in-law apartment in it; the new owner is looking to gain the appropriate approvals.
The PZC in-law apartment regulation has specific criteria for the unit; and provides for a 5-year permit period. These criteria include:  
The in-law apartment cannot be larger than 900 sq ft or 40% of the gfa (whichever is smaller)
the entire structure must maintain the appearance of a single family dwelling;
off street parking for three vehicles must be accommodated;
adequate water and sewage disposal must be provided; and
the owner of the dwelling units must occupy either the in-law apartment or the main dwelling unit
The Commission may waive one or more of the provisions above (except the requirement that an owner live in the apartment or house) after determining:
There will be minimum adverse impact on existing uses in the area;
Surrounding property values will be conserved and the character of the neighborhood will not be unduly disrupted;
Due consideration to preservation of historic factors has been demonstrated.
The applicant has provided a layout of the apartment as well as pictures of the single-family house.  This apartment is approximately 805 square feet (this cannot be more than 40% of the GFA of the house; it is 29%). We also have a layout of the site.
If this application is approved, the Commission may grant approval for up to five years.  The applicant will be asked via letter to reaffirm ownership of the property every two years.  At the end of the permit period, if the family situation has not changed, the applicant may request renewal by staff.
There were no Engineering comments.  There was no public participation on this item.
Lipe advised the Commission that the applicant came into Planning Department and had a discussion with Lipe and it was realized that this in-law apartment never had any approvals from the Planning & Zoning Commission or any other agency.
Chairman McCann asked how you access this apartment.
The applicant indicated that there is an entry access through the house and also in the rear of the home from a stair well.
The public hearing closed.  There was a five-minute recess and the regular meeting convened in the Madden Room.
REGULAR MEETING
Chairman McCann addressed the public to speak for any item that was not on the agenda.  There was no public participation.

Appl 02-39P, AMK Welding, request for a site plan modification for a 7,200 sf addition to property located at 283 Sullivan Ave (southeasterly corner of Sullivan Ave. and Patria Road), I Zone

Peter DeMallie was present to represent applicant proposing an 80 x 90 square foot addition to accommodate for new equipment.

The applicant is proposing to combine two parcels to allow for drainage and provide a mitigation area for wetland disturbances.  The Wetlands Commission approved this application on September 4, 2002.  The addition will be slightly higher than the existing building and the roof hardware will be placed about 30 feet back on the building. This cooling tank would not be visible from Sullivan Ave., however would be from Patria Road. The applicant agreed to paint a color to minimize the impacts.  There will be an additional 6 parking spaces added bringing the total to 29.

The only landscaping being proposed is two or three additional maple trees to be planted along Patria Road.  The applicant indicated that the existing storage container on site would be removed and that there will not be any outdoor storage on the site.  The dumpsters are going to be consolidated and put on a concrete pad and screened.

The only lighting proposed includes two wall paks onto the new building. There was some discussion regarding the adequacy of the lighting proposed and whether it would leave some dark spots in the parking area. The applicant agreed to check for lights on the CL&P poles to make sure they have adequate lighting.

Lipe review the Planning Report:

Request for approval for a site plan modification to add approximately 7,000 square feet to their existing building located at 283 Sullivan Ave., I zone. Maximum impervious coverage allowed is 65%, 54.7% proposed.  Proposed building height is 19.7 feet; 40 feet allowed. Lot size is 90,520 sf minimum lot size allowed is 20,000 sf. frontage is 215.8 feet; minimum allowed is 100 feet. Front yard setback is 50 feet, 35 feet allowed.
The addition is proposed off the rear of the existing building. The current driveways as they exist will service the new addition.
There is currently a variety of things being stored outside the facility. Our understanding is that everything will be brought inside the building with this addition, and that there is no need for any outdoor storage.
Parking requirements for the manufacturing use on this property is 29 spaces.  The applicant is providing 31 spaces (including two handicap spaces).
The new addition will be approximately 2 feet higher than the existing building, and will match the color and materials.
The ADRC had the following comments:

Landscaping proposed must be shown on the plans - they suggested the addition of a couple of maple trees along the Patria Road frontage.

Roof hardware should blend in as much as possible
Lighting must be addressed to make sure that the lighting is adequate.

The plans sow that the only new lighting being added is two fixtures on the building and a note has been added indicating a minimum lighting level at with the full cutoff fixtures.
There is no new signage proposed for the site.
There are regulated wetlands on the property.  The applicant received IWA/CC approval on 9/5/02, with the recommendation of a $2,500.00 bond and no other unusual approval conditions.
Water and sewer are available to the property.  Water Pollution Control Authority approval is required.
There are showing a new dumpster location (combining the existing dumpster on site) which will be on a concrete pad, screened.  
If this application is approved, there are no additional modifications requested.
Doolittle reviewed the Engineering Comments:
The monitor wells should be labeled to be abandoned or removed.
The Commission had the following questions/concerns:
How much higher will the chiller be above the roofline?
DeMallie stated five feet above the roofline and 35 feet away from Patria Road.
Lipe showed sketches for chiller in relation to the roofline.
It was asked if there will be any problems removing the motoring well.
DeMallie responded no.
Commissioner Bazzano was appointed to sit for Commissioner Montana.

Appl 02-37P, Charbonneau Lot 6/7 Site Plan, request for approval of a 20,400 sq ft facility located on the southerly end of Sandra Drive, I zone

Mr. Tim Coon from J.R. Russo and Associates came before the Commission to represent this application.  He explained that the site is currently two lots consisting of 3.57 acres, which the applicant would like to combine and make one lot.  The site will tie into existing utilities on Sandra Drive, including the sanitary sewer.  The project consists of a 20,400 warehouse square foot one story building, approximately 16
The property currently slopes north to south and will continue to do so.  Roof runoff from the building will be directed to the rear of the building where it will go down a series of down spouts and discharge on the ground surface.  Runoff will continue through a grass swale at the rear of the building in order to pick up the runoff from the down slopes as well as any overland flow from the west.  The swale will carry the water downhill to the wetland at the toe of the slope.  The area to the north will continue to flow onto the site and be collected in an area drain.  The area drain will tie into an on site area drain system. The Inland Wetland Commission approved this application on September 4, 2002, with and approval condition that the type II sediment chamber by replaced with a sediment/pollutant removal system, from that structure the water will be discharged to the existing system on Sandra Drive.

Coon reviewed Planning comments:

Key Map must show the curb cuts on the final plans.
The plans need to reflect an additional 25
Grading was being shown in the 75
The dumpster will be screened and placed on pads.

Lipe reviewed the Planning Report:

Request for site plan approval to construct an industrial building on Sandra Drive, I zone. Lot area is 3.58 acres; ½ acre required. Maximum impervious coverage allowed is 65%, 27% proposed.

The applicant has indicated the use of the building is warehousing and has attributed one employee to each unit in order to calculate parking. Using that formula, 26 spaces would be required, and 27 are provided. The building appears to be a multi-tenant building; and our experience is that a variety of tenant types are likely, including a mix of office, commercial and industrial users. If that becomes the situation, the parking may not be adequate, and there does not appear to be any location for additional parking. Also, trucks will use the central pavement area for maneuvering.

There is normally a 50-foot buffer between industrial and residential properties; however, when this subdivision was approved, the buffer width was increased to 75 feet. The site is presently wooded, and the applicant proposes to intersperse a variety of evergreen trees along the inside edge of the buffer to supplement the existing trees.

There is no outdoor storage proposed with this application. Applicant should be aware that unscreened outdoor storage is not allowed, and all outdoor storage requires PZC approval.

Architectural and Design Review Committee was scheduled to review this site on September 5, however due to lack of quorum, the meeting was cancelled.

The only site lighting proposed is wal-pak fixtures with shields. The plan notes that lighting will be reduced to security levels after business hours.

Site landscaping consists of several trees plus shrubs around the parking area in the front of the site.

There are regulated wetlands on site. IWA/CC approved this application on September 4 with a $20,000 bond to ensure stream bank stabilization and a $5000 bond for erosion & sediment control, and requirements for channel stabilization.

Public water and sewer are provided. Water Pollution Control Authority approval is required.

There is a dumpster shown on a concrete pad, screened. If the dumpster pad turns out to be inadequately sized for this building, it must be properly extended and screened or relocated.

If this application is approved, the Planning Dept. requests that the applicant specify the quantities of each type of evergreen tree in the buffer

Engineering comments have been addressed.

The Commission had the following questions/concerns:

Commissioner Evans commented in the buffer area there are a number of oak trees and deciduous trees there proposing to put in evergreen tress, would this adequately cover?

Coon responded the deciduous trees are tall and the evergreens will be interplanted among them and would fill the voids.

Commissioner Wentzell suggested that the approval require the applicant going back before the Architectural Design Review Committee since they did not have a quorum at their meeting of September 19, 2002.

Coon indicated there is a 75-foot buffer as well as the extra 25-foot buffer that will aid in screening.  The overhead doors are to the front of the site.

Commissioner Larsen suggested more plants in the front of the building.

Coon stated there would be trees and shrubs in the front of the building.

Commissioner Choate asked if they will be grading within the buffer where there shouldn
Lipe responded the original subdivision approval required a 75-foot non-encroachment area.  The applicant is proposing temporary grading in the non-encroachment area and will return it to an undisturbed, landscaped area.  The applicant will be encroaching approximately 5-feet into this area.

Commissioner Choate questioned the stream bank erosion and the landscaping around the dumpster.

Coon responded there is minor erosion along the stream banks that the applicant is hoping to eliminate this erosion as the area becomes fully built out.  On the landscape plan it indicates shrubs around the dumpster.

Chairman McCann mentioned that if the site use should change from warehouse space to office space the applicant would have to come back before the Planning & Zoning Commission due to limited parking spaces.

Motion to approve with modifications was made by Commissioner Wentzell,

Prior to commencement of any site work, a meeting must be held with Town Staff.

No building permit will be issued until the final mylars have been filed in the Town Clerk
This application is subject to the conditions of approval of the Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission, including two a bonds in the amount of $20,000.00 to ensure stream bank stabilization and $5,000.00 for erosion and sediment control.

An as-built plan is required prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy per Section 8.1.10 of the Zoning Regulations.

Landscape bond in the amount of $5,000.00 required and must be submitted prior to filing of mylars.

All plans used in the field by the developer must bear the stamp and authorized signature of the Town of South Windsor.

WPCA approval is required.

The building street number must be included on the final plan.

The Town Engineering
An explanatory note for the increased buffer referencing the previous subdivision approval should be added.

Planning Comments dated August 30, 2002 must be addressed.

The applicant must return to the Architectural Design Review Committee for final review. If the applicant has any concerns with the Committee
Grading that occurs within the 75 foot non-encroachment area must be returned to an undisturbed, landscaped area.

seconded by Commissioner Larsen.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Commissioner Kennedy moved to amend the motion to allow the applicant to retain the slight grading within that extra 25- foot buffer area.

Commissioner Wentzell accepted the amendment as a friendly amendment that approval condition # 13 that the grading with the 75-foot area should be returned to the buffer area prior to the completion of the construction.

Commissioner Evans commented that she does not understand how we can approve this application and then have the applicant go back before the Architectural Design Review Committee.  Should the Commission delay our vote until that time?

Commissioner Wentzell stated to modify that the applicant must return to Architectural Design Review Committee and if all items are not agreed upon they must return to the Planning and Zoning Commission for resolution.

Commissioner Cottle was appointed to sit for Commissioner Wentzell for the remainder of the meeting.

Appl 02-49P, Westview Office Park, request for site plan modification to add 14 parking spaces on property located at 1050 Sullivan Ave., RO zone

Peter DeMallie was present to represent the applicant and gave an overview of the history of the site regarding a conservation easement to keep the landscaping in tact through the development of the site.  The shortage of parking has been a problem for the site.  There are 54 parking spaces currently and the proposal is to request approval of 15 additional spaces bringing the total to 69.  This additional parking will alleviate the problem on site.

The applicant went before Town Council to the release the conservation easement to allow the additional parking spaces as proposed on the site plan, which was granted.  The site will be upgraded with re-stripping of the spaces and adding an additional handicap space.  Also proposed is additional screening from the Graham and Ayers Roads intersection.

Design Professional met with Jeff Doolittle to review the proposal and there was one concern with vehicles coming in and going out at the entrance during the regular course of the day.  The condominium owners would agree in writing that those spaces would be dedicated to them.  DeMallie read into the record a letter from the Westview Condominium Association. (Exhibit A)

Lipe reviewed the Planning Report:

Request for site plan modification to construct 15 additional parking spaces at Westview Office Park, RO zone. Maximum impervious coverage allowed is 50%, 43% proposed.
There is quite a bit of history to this site and it
In 1984, the ZBA granted several variances to allow the existing office building to be built. Included in these variances was a variance to allow 58 parking spaces for an 11,500 square foot building (78 required based on the proposed building size at the time.) In 1985, PZC granted site plan approval for a 12,500 square foot building with only 48 parking spaces, or a total 42% reduction in required spaces (83 spaces required for 12,500 sq ft building).
In 1989, a variance was requested to allow a new 3,000-5,000 sq ft building to be added to the site. The variance was denied. There was much discussion among ZBA members noting that the first variance was granted because a conservation easement protected the remainder of the site from additional building. In 1989, the PZC rezoned the whole site to Restricted Office to settle an unrelated lawsuit filed by a property owner across Sullivan Avenue.
Over time, the office building has become more and more medical in nature. Medical office uses generate higher parking needs than business offices; our parking requirements reflect that. In 1999, the Commission agreed to allow another doctor to occupy vacant space in the office building without providing the required parking. The doctor indicated at that time that he would not occupy the entire vacant space until parking needs for the entire office condominium were addressed. In April 2000, the Commission once again entertained a request by a dentist to move into the office building without meeting the parking requirements. The condominium association provided information regarding current occupancy of the entire building and about 108 spaces would be required under current regulations for the present uses of the building. There are 54 spaces on site, or 50% of the minimum requirement. The Commission again agreed to the request upon assurances by the condominium association that the parking issue would be addressed in the very near future.
The proposed fifteen spaces would bring the total number of spaces to 69. Since the ZBA granted a variance to eliminate 30 required spaces, technically the site now requires 78 spaces rather than the 108 spaces required by our regulations. Thus, addition of the 15 spaces brings the site to within 9 spaces of being technically conforming.
The Town Council granted a partial release of the conservation easement in February of this year to allow the 15 new spaces to be built within the easement in the configuration shown on the site plan. The Council granted their approval subject to PZC approval, and also required an appraisal to determine the value of the partial release of easement. If the value of the partial easement release is greater than $25,000, then a referendum will be required to determine whether the easement should be released. (The Town Charter requires that the Council cannot convey any property in excess of $25,000 value without referendum approval.)
There are no regulated wetlands on this site, and an area less than 20,000 square feet is being disturbed, so no IWA/CC permit is required.
If this application is approved, the Planning Dept. has no requested approval modifications.
Doolittle indicated that the applicant has already addressed the engineering comments.
The Commission had the following questions/concerns:
Commissioner Choate asked if the existing drainage is to capacity and is that why a dry well is being used?
Galen Semprebon stated dry wells are being used on site and the soil on site is ideal.
Commissioner Evans asked if it would be possible to put additional parking to the south of the site?  Will there be names on the parking spaces for the owners.
DeMallie responded every effort to save a tree in that area so parking is not an option in that area.  The site lost a lot of landscaping when the road construction on Sullivan Avenue.  Would like to keep as much green space as possible.  The parking spaces for the owners will be marked reserved.
Chairman McCann asked if there could be parallel parking on Graham Road.  McCann expressed concern of the size of the parking spaces.
DeMallie indicated that would be difficult due to the traffic on Graham Road and he doesn
Motion to approve with modifications was made by Commissioner Kennedy,

Prior to commencement of any site work, a meeting must be held with Town Staff.
Final mylars must be filed in the Town Clerk
Landscape bond in the amount of $1,000.00 required and must be submitted prior to filing of mylars.
All plans used in the field by the developer must bear the stamp and authorized signature of the Town of South Windsor.
The Maintenance Plan for the parking lot drainage should be reproduced on Sheet 2 so that it will become a permanent record.
seconded by Commissioner Larsen.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Change Order request for Unique Pavers, located at 785 John Fitch Blvd, GC Zone

Carl Barresi of Unique Pavers was present to address the Commission indicating Unique Pavers, LLC, has moved into the building at 785 John Fitch Blvd.  The applicant is in the process of renovating the site and is requesting a Change Order approval from PZC regarding the change of use with minor modifications of the site.  They have indicated on a site plan the parking, fencing, and storage use on the site.

Lipe reviewed the site with the Commission indicating a change order is being proposed for change of use of this site so it will be documented by PZC.  The applicant has done a great job on cleaning up the site.  It is as appropriate use for this site and the applicant is proposing a sign of the property.

Doolittle met with Barresi on the site to review placement of the storage bins away from the dry well, cleaning out of the dry well, add a lip at the drive to keep the water from the street on the site.

Commissioner Evans asked what is inside the bins?

Barresi responded sand, base material and processed gravel.

McCann inquired if the change would effect the parking on the site.  Lipe indicated that the request is for the change of use and there is adequate parking per the zoning requirement.

Motion to approve change order as presented was made by Commissioner Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Larsen.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Appl 94-08P, Ahearn Resubdivision notice of expiration

Commissioner read a letter into the record from Frank Ahearn. (Exhibit B)

Lipe reviewed the application with the Commission indicating this was an approved subdivision in 1994 with a five-year approval expiring in 1999.  These houses are just being built now and at this time of approval the bonding for the sewers was not in place.  Since this application has expired, the applicant is now looking to renew the subdivision approval.  If the subdivision is renewed the Commission would issue the same approval conditions as in the original approval with the addition that the applicant is to post the bond for the sewers.

Motion to re-approve the Ahearn Subdivision with the required bond for sewers was made by Commissioner Evans, seconded by Commissioner Kennedy.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Appl 02-52P, Paul Hunt, request for a 5-year in law apartment for property located at 1090 Avery Street, RR zone

Commissioner Evans expressed concern when a property is purchased with an in-law apartment and the owner decides to use it, is the applicant required to convert it back to its original state when no longer in use.
Chairman McCann stated he is subject to the regulations unless the in-law apartment predates the regulations.

Motion to approve with modifications was made by Commissioner Evan,

This approval is for an in-law apartment for a family member/relative only. When the in-law apartment is no longer occupied by a relative of the family, the apartment cannot be treated as a second dwelling unit. Instead, the kitchen must be removed and the living area must be converted into other living space for the main dwelling.
This permit will expire in five years, on September 10, 2007, and will have to be renewed at that time if the use is to be continued.  Owner(s) of the property must reside in the apartment or the main dwelling unit. Reaffirmation of occupancy by owner will be required every two years. This will be done via a letter from the Planning Department requesting the reaffirmation of occupancy.
Any new building, or alterations/additions to existing buildings, require a building permit prior to start of construction.

seconded by Commissioner Kennedy.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Appl 00-28P Wheeler Estates Change Order - Sidewalk and parking spaces

Lipe review the change order indicating landscaping changes that seem reasonable, but it was also being requested to add three parking spaces and to eliminate a portion of the sidewalk and felt that change should be brought before the Commission.  The applicant is finding that parking space is becoming an issue within the development.

McCann inquired by eliminating a portion of the sidewalk are they distributing the loop.

Lipe provide a drawing showing where the changes on the site would take place.

There was a discussion of the Commission regarding the impact this change would have on the development.  It was mentioned there is a need to increase the parking

Doolittle suggested making the parking space five feet deeper to 25 feet in the island to allow room for pedestrians to walk behind the spaces.

Motion to approve change order with modifications was made by Commissioner Evans,
seconded by Commissioner Kennedy.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.

Appl 00-24P, Strawberry Fields Change Order - Light posts height and style

Lipe review the change order indicating the applicant's proposal to change the style of the light poles to a colonial type at 14ft instead of the original decorative 12
It was asked if the light will be intrusive to the residences of the development. Lipe indicated that was a concern.  The light will be more diffused at 14ft in height.

The commission had a discussion regarding the request to downsize to a less expensive light within this luxury development.

Motion to deny the change order for lighting changes was made by Commissioner Larsen, seconded by Commissioner Choate.

Commissioner Kennedy made motion to table, there was no second.

The motion carried the vote was as follows: 6:1 McCann, Larsen, Choate, Evans, Bazzano, Cottle aye; Kennedy nay

Ultimate Sign Change Order for the change of use for property at 376 Pleasant Valley Road, I Zone

Lipe explained we received a complaint regarding a sign company that was operating on Pleasant Valley Road.  A letter has been submitted to the Commission for the use of the garage in the back for his sign company.  This site has been approved/used previously for the storage of vehicles. Two years ago it was sold and we recently received a complaint.  We asked the owner to come forward with a change of use describing the activities on site and the owner submitted the letter dated September 10, 2002. It is within an Industrial Zone. (Exhibit C)

McCann inquired if there is a violation on this site.  Lipe responded not that we are aware of. It was because a complaint that we asked the owner to come forward and apply for the change of use.

Lipe indicated the Ultimate Sign Company is in the process of applying for a sign permit to allow a sign at their location.  The one condition that staff is looking for is for the owner to provide refuse removal for the waste generated by the commercial operation.

Motion to approve in accordance to the letter dated September 10, 2002, subject to the concerns of the disposal of garbage was made by Commissioner Kennedy, seconded by Commissioner Larsen.  The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.
