PUBLIC HEARING – COUNCIL CHAMBERS

Wentzell called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m.

Wentzell informed the Commission that Appl 04-72P, Brightman Circle Subdivision would not be heard at this meeting.

1.      Appl #04-71P, LeClerc In Law Apartment, request for a 5-year in law apartment permit for property located at 56 Stedman Circle, RROS

Gerry LeClerc stated that they are requesting the inlaw apartment for his mother-in-law.  When it is no longer needed for the mother-in-law, it is intended to retain the inlaw apartment and keep the space for family.

Banach provided the following Planning report:

1.      Request for a permit for an in-law apartment at 56 Stedman Circle, RR Open Space zone.
2.      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 provided;
¨       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.
3.      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.
4.      The applicant is proposing an addition on the side of the house that will be connected through a mudroom. This addition will be set back approximately 25 feet from the front of the existing house. The mudroom will have a five-foot front porch. The in-law apartment is approximately 840 square feet (excluding the mudroom, which will be common space). The applicant has provided a floor plan of the proposed apartment, as well as an elevation of the proposed addition.  The applicant’s designer has indicated that the same window treatments that exist on the house will be duplicated on the addition. The commission will need to determine if this design meets the criteria of “the appearance of a single family dwelling.”  
5.      Also, with this addition, the driveway will have to be modified, since the new apartment eliminates the turnaround. We do need an engineered plan showing how the driveway modifications will be accomplished, as there are grade considerations.
6.      There are regulated wetlands on the property.  The proposed addition is within the 80’ upland review area and is subject to review and approval by the IWA/CC.  Jeff Folger, the environmental planner, has indicated that this could be handled through a minimal impact permit.
7.      The applicant is aware that the in law apartment will have to be converted back into single-family living space when it is no longer occupied by a relative. The applicant intends to accomplish this by removing the appliances in the kitchen area of the in-law apartment.
8.      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.
9.      If this application is approved, staff has no additional approval conditions except as already noted.

Doolittle provided the following Engineering report:

1.      An engineering plan will be required and this should be brought forward at the time a building permit is sought for the addition.  It should be in accordance with the Town’s standards, i.e. show the revised grading, the revisions to the driveway, any revised utilities outside the home, etc.

No one from the public spoke in favor of or in opposition to this application.

There was no correspondence regarding this application.

Steven Good, Builder and representing the applicant stated that the addition will match the existing house, the mud room/breezeway is approximately 10’ long and will also contain a laundry room.  It will also contain a door for entry and exit.  

Discussion ensued among the Commission with the following comments and concerns: Replies will be in Italics.

Clarification of location of inlaw apartment.  The apartment will be located in the rear corner of the garage.
Addition should resemble a single-family house. The doorway to the addition will be located in the front.  The addition is slightly offset.  It is proposed to have a slightly different color stone/brick to blend in because it is not possible to have the same color of the stone/brick that exists on the house.
It is desired to have the architectural details of the addition match the existing house. That is the intention of the design.
Clarification of plans submitted, elevations do not match.  Plans to be approved will be the 8 ½ x 11 plan submitted – the large A1.9 plan depicts architectural design. A new architectural design that matches the plan view to be submitted by the applicant.
Clarification of wetlands approval.  The public hearing does not have to remain open because the minimal impact will be handled at Staff level.
Staff will be looking for revised elevations that match the plan view.  It is not necessary to hold open the public hearing – will be handled at Staff level.

Public hearing was closed at 7:58 p.m.

2.      Appl. #04-76P, Evans Accessory Apartment, request for a Special Exception to Section 4.7.1 to create an accessory apartment for property located at 1678 Main Street, A-40 zone

Evans stated that there are 2 adjoining pieces of property; .92 acres & 9 acres; original house was constructed in 1860 and the addition was put on in the early 60’s for her inlaws with free movement throughout the existing house. The apartment is a one-story addition and there will be no changes in the interior or the exterior; the addition will contain a stove and refrigerator. A notice to all abutters was done and Evans submitted a letter from the Ramseys that she read into the record.  (Exhibit A)

Banach provided the following Planning report:

Request for Special Exception for an accessory apartment at 1678 Main Street, A-40 zone. The apartment itself already exists within the square footage of the existing house and has been there for a long time.
An accessory apartment differs from an in-law apartment in that an accessory apartment is not restricted to relatives and does not have to be converted back into living space for the main unit when the in-law apartment occupant no longer lives there. As with all special exceptions, the apartment approval runs with the property in perpetuity.
The PZC accessory apartment regulation has specific criteria for the unit, including:  
¨       The accessory apartment cannot be larger than 700 sq ft or 40% of the gross floor area (whichever is smaller).
¨       The main unit was constructed prior to September 1, 1990.
¨       the entire structure must maintain the appearance of a single family dwelling;
¨       off street parking for three vehicles must be accommodated;
¨       Not more than 10% of the existing single family units within 1000 feet of the proposed accessory apartment contain accessory apartments/ in-law apartments;
¨       the owner of the dwelling units must occupy either the accessory apartment or the main dwelling unit; and
¨       adequate water and sewage disposal must be provided
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 impacts 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 original house was built around 1870 and is approximately 3,199 sq ft. The accessory apartment is approximately 780 square feet, or 24% of the combined gross floor area. Therefore, the applicant is requesting an 80-sf waiver (in excess of 700 sf).
The applicant has submitted an assessor’s map showing the existing house, dimensions of the apartment, and a photograph of the house. The house is set back more than 700 feet from Main Street on a rear lot. There are no exterior changes proposed for the house.
The house is currently served by a septic system and an existing well.  The applicant will need to contact the building department to see if any permits are necessary for this conversion.
There are no PZC-approved in-law or accessory apartments within 1000 feet of this subject property.
The owner of a house with an accessory apartment must reaffirm biennially to the Commission that one of the dwelling units is occupied by an owner of the property.
If this application is approved, the Planning Dept requests no additional approval conditions except as already noted.

No one from public spoke in favor of or against this application.

Public hearing closed at 8:04 p.m.

3.      Appl 04-77P, Taylor In Law Apartment, request for a 5-year in law apartment permit for property located at 51 Dawn Drive, A-20 zone

Thomas Taylor presented this application.  Tom & Maribeth Cunha own the house at 51 Dawn Drive and they are putting on an inlaw apartment for the Taylors.  All requirements have been met.  

Cunha stated that after there is no use for the inlaw apartment it would be converted into recreational space.  The kitchen area will be removed and there is the possibility of using the area for an office.

Banach provided the following Planning report:

1.      Request for a permit for an in-law apartment at 51 Dawn Drive, A-20 zone.
2.      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
3.      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 is proposing an addition at the rear of the house that will be connected to the main house. This in-law apartment is approximately 896 square feet. The applicant has provided a floor plan of the proposed apartment, as well as pictures of the house. The applicant is aware that the in law apartment will have to be converted back into single-family living space when it is no longer occupied by a relative. The applicant intends to accomplish this by removing the appliances in the kitchen area of the in-law apartment. It appears that all zoning requirements have been met.
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.

4.      There is no outdoor storage proposed; however there are 10 truck spaces shown in the back corner of the site.
5.      There is a one loading dock shown on the northerly side of the building and 10 overhead doors shown on the east end of the building. The landscape plan depicts evergreens to be planted on the southeast corner of the site, which should provide some screening of the garage doors.  The applicant has indicated that the trucks to be loaded will be stored in the building at night and leave early in the morning.
6.      Architectural and Design Review Committee reviewed this application at two meetings.  The applicant made several changes to exterior materials; colors and landscaping based on comments from the first meeting.  The Committee was satisfied with the final plan as proposed. We do want to point out that the building wall facing Commerce Way is rather plain.
7.      The landscaping plan includes a small berm to be created along Commerce Way with plantings on the berm as well as closer to the building to break up the wall facing Commerce Way.  There is a significant amount of landscaping, in particular foundation plantings, along the Sullivan Ave frontage to dress up the office area.  The applicant ha also proposed street trees (maples) along Sullivan Ave. and Commerce Way.

12.     There is a dumpster area proposed in the easterly side of the building. The building should shield the location.
13.     If this application is approved, the planning department requests no additional approval conditions except those already noted.

Doolittle provided the following Engineering report:

I did not see any utilities from the road to the building.  Show proposed connections (locations and elevations) for sanitary sewer, water, gas, electric, telephone, etc.  
Install a monitoring manhole on the sanitary lateral in the roadside ROW.    
A grease interceptor or other approved AGRU system is required. A general permit will be required from the Connecticut DEP for the grease interceptor.  
Are all the trench/floor drains connected to the sanitary sewer?
The Town is concerned about BOD and SS levels in the final effluent.  Provide BOD and SS test results from similar facilities.  Pretreatment may be needed as an alternative to monetary surcharges for excessive waste concentrations.  Regular testing of waste discharge/effluent will be required by an independent testing laboratory.  
Show the bollards around the building on the Topographic Plan and Landscape Plan.
The top of the berm on the west side of the drive/parking area is only about 1.5 feet above the road on the south end but about 3 feet high on the north end.  The south end should be raised to the same height as the north end (3 feet above the road).  
The Town would like to use this driveway to access the manhole and inlet to the storm drainage pipe that runs down the north side of this property.  These structures are not accessible from the property to the north because the slopes on this property are too steep.  Provide a gravel access path from the north east corner of the drive/parking area down to the storm drainage manhole and inlet structure.  
The following changes should be made to the storm drainage system: Increase the pipe sizes from RL#1 and CB#1 to the existing CB from 10 inch to 12 inch diameter to better handle the expected flows.  Use corrugated pipe from CB#5 to the existing storm MH to slow the stormwater velocity.  Change the pipe from FE#2 to the existing storm MH to an 18-inch diameter corrugated pipe to slow the velocity.  An alternate plan should be developed for the two new pipes shown connecting to the existing storm MH because these may not fit in this structure with the existing two large pipes in place.   
Increase the pavement thickness to 4 inches total to handle the heavy truck traffic.
WPCA review and approval is required.

No from the public spoke in favor of or against this application.

Discussion ensued among the Commission members with the following comments and concerns: Replies will be in Italics.

Clarification of materials being used on the façade.  Materials will consist of tan split face block and white stucco with tan trim. The steel frame building will be panelized with the stucco panels.  Accent bands will be in tan.  There will be a 3’ high berm on Commerce Way accented with maple trees – directly in front of the building flowering ornamentals will be planted.
It is desired to break up the massive side facing Commerce Way.  The wall facing John Fitch Boulevard cannot have an articulated wall because located on the back of the wall is the equipment used for making donuts.  The office front will have articulation in it to be aesthetically pleasing.
It is desired to have white trim around some of the panels.  Tan boxes with white stucco (rectangles) can be placed above striped tan boxes.
It is desired to have more landscaping on both sides of the building and on the southeast corner to block the view of the service doors on the east side of the building.  Fruit and fir trees will be used in that area.  Also the top of the berm will be planted with shrubs, above that will be larger trees and then below will be flowering trees.  Deciduous trees planned for the side of the building can be changed to evergreens.
Clarification of dumpster.  There will be 2 dumpsters – one for trash and one for cardboard – located in the rear of the building.
Clarification of disposal of raw materials.  Actual discarded donuts are at the donut stores themselves.  Process is controlled and the most that would be lost at one time would be a few dozen donuts which trash will accept.
Absence of a Dunkin Donuts sign.  There will be no sign because the desire is to eliminate people from driving up and looking for coffee and donuts.  Nothing is for sale at this building.  The owner of the building does not have a franchise.

Kennedy made a motion to approve application #04-79P, MASSCONN Distributors, LLC with the following conditions:

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