PUBLIC HEARING – COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Kennedy called the meeting to order at 7:30p.m.
Bazzano read the legal notice as it was published in the Journal Inquirer on Thursday, March 2 and Thursday, March 9, 2006.
1. Appl 05-77P, J.E. Shepard Company– request for a 2 year temporary and conditional permit to allow a two-family house on property located at 2019 John Fitch Boulevard, I zone
The application was continued until a later date.
2. Appl 06-05P, East Hartford Sand and Gravel – request for renewal of permit for earth removal in Phase 7 on property located on the westerly side of Strong Road (interior), RR & I zones
Karen Isherwood of Design Professionals presented the application and her comments were as follows:
Phase 7 consists of 2.43 acre site. Phases 1-4 and 6 were completed; phase 5 will not be pursued. The excavation activities that were permitted will be completed within a 2 year permit extension period. Another 2 feet of excavation of sand is expected.
Lipe gave the following planning report:
Request to continue excavation of sand and gravel in the remaining phase (Phase VII) on property located east of the K-F Brick plant. The sand and gravel excavation is currently occurring on about 2.4 acres on the eastern part of the site. The latest approvals were granted by this Commission in January of 2004 and expired January 27, 2006. A copy of that approval, as well as a 2005 aerial of the site have been provided for the Commission.
The previous permits included seven phases of gravel excavation. The applicant has finished excavation in Phases 4 and 6, is no longer looking for approval of Phase 5. This request is for the completion of excavation in Phase 7.
Access to the site will continue to be from Route 5, via Brickyard Road, as it has been in the past.
There are regulated wetlands on the site and the applicant recently received a renewal that expires March 1, 2011. The IWA/CC placed many conditions on the approval. A copy of that approval is being provided to you.
The ARMY Corp of Engineers and the DEP continue to review the wetlands mitigation plan for wetlands disturbances that occurred in Phase 5 on the site and have not issued a permit to complete that work.
A bond in the amount of $91,000 has been posted for the reparation of the wetland areas and also for erosion control and reclamation of the property, if necessary.
Excavation in Phase 7 has resulted in maximum cuts of 12-14 feet and slopes at 1:3.
It appears, from viewing an aerial of 2005, that the access drive from the Sylvestri home may still be in use. Staff would recommend a restoration plan for this drive to include seeding with topsoil and replanting of the drive with trees.
Section 14 of the zoning regulations provides guidelines for the Commission for the approval of sand and gravel operations, including the effect of such removal on surrounding property and the future usefulness of the premises when the operation is completed. This site is owned by the Redland Brick Company and is anticipated it will be used by them for the excavation of clay.
If approved, the Planning Department request that the previous approval conditions be maintained and an additional condition addressing the access drive.
The public had the following comments:
Hugh Brower, West Road:
It seems as if this application is past renewal date, therefore should be viewed as a new application. There is a history of violations on this project. Construction equipment is being used prior to 7:00a.m. on weekends. Sand and dust travels into neighborhood, leaving dust and sand on vehicles and houses. There does not seem to be remediation taking place. EH Sand & Gravel trucks have been observed driving on Strong Road, (a residential street) they have access on Route 5.
There are concerns regarding the water table and restoration. Part of this property is in the RR zone.
Discussion ensued among the commissioners: (responses are in italics)
Was the application submitted prior to expiration? The plans were submitted January 26, which is prior to expiration.
Give information about Phase 5. This area is no longer a subject of this application. Wetlands violations occurred in Phase 5. Restoration plans need to be approved by Army Corp and DEP.
East Hartford Sand & Gravel strips down to the clay layer, Redland Brick takes the clay layer. Each are responsible for their own reclamation requirements.
Is the renewal supposed to be done by the expiration date? Planning notifies the applicant of the expiration date. EH Sand & Gravel came in before the expiration date with a set of plans and an application.
Are there violations during this new renewal period other than the one with area 5. There have been no complaints brought to the planning department.
The 5th condition on the approval 2 years ago, prohibiting use of the driveway between residents and the site would be forced if the IWA/CC condition of the recent approval was abided by. It states that blockades would be put up, blocking the driveway.
Has there been a condition prohibiting trucks from using Strong Road? No. There have not been complaints about this.
The public hearing closed at 7:50p.m.
3. Appl 06-06P, Our Savior Lutheran Church, request for special exception to article 4.2.8.6.d of the zoning regulations and site plan approval for the addition of approximately 5,900 sf multi-purpose facility on property located at 239 Graham Road, A-20 zone
Sorenson recused himself. Lariviere sat for Choate.
Karen Isherwood of Design Professionals presented the application.
The site is 5.3 acres, residentially zoned. The existing parking lot has 103 spaces which exceeds the required 73 spaces. There are very few trees on the site, sloping gently southwest.
The addition will include a muli-purpose room with a stage, (for church functions only) additional bathrooms, kitchen, more storage and a mechanical room. Improvements include connection to public sewer and gas.
The proposed swale will reduce the post develop peak discharge for the 2, 10 and 25 year storms and provide an increase in peak run-off with the 50 and 100 year storm.
Plans have been revised to address town staff comments. Concerns regarding run-off into the Kinsley’s property have been addressed. The swale was lengthened and wrapped around the proposed addition. A berm of a least 1 ½ feet will be created using the material taken while creating the swale.
A yard drain, tied into the existing catch basin, has been added to the revised plans.
The sidewalk was revised giving it multiple uses. Emergency vehicles will use it as a driveway (as required by the Fire Marshal).
Lot coverage is proposed at 6.4% (less than the 15% allowed). Impervious coverage is 26.6% (less than 35% allowed). Erosion and sedimentation will be controlled with standard silt fencing; hay bails will be placed around storm structures and anti-track pads will keep dust down to a minimum.
Richard Boston, Landscape Engineer of Design Professionals presented the landscaping plans.
Proposed landscaping is intended to blend with existing landscape. Between the proposed sidewalk and church will be space to be landscaped. Foundation plantings will consist of Holly, Rhododendron, Daisies and ornamental grasses to give variety against the brick. Existing trees will be protected and maintained.
Play structure and daycare area (fencing) will be configured. Open space considered on plans to enable outdoor activities.
Paul Selno, Architect and Vice President of Henry Schaddler Associates had the following comments:
Five thousand sq. ft. is to be added to the existing structure, one story. Included in that are to be the following: a new elevator going up to sanctuary space; a vestibule; main lobby; muli-purpose room (seating about 200 people); two new bathrooms; commercial kitchen and storage space. Where the addition links to the existing building, there are two-story, glass windows. The shallow pitched roof will tie in nicely to the existing building.
The outside of the addition is to be a redish/brown brick with the front of the building accented by stone and a mural.
Rob Clapper, Chairman of the building committee at Our Savior Lutheran Church had the following comments:
In 2003, fundraising began for the expansion of the church. In the fall of 2003, a building committee was formed to begin master planning. In late 2004, the congregation voted to build a fellowship hall and in late September signed a contract with the Henry Schaddler Associates. Our Savior is looking forward to building a strong bond with the community.
Lipe gave the following planning report:
1. Request for Special Exception and site plan approval to construct a 6,000 sq ft multi-purpose room addition to the existing church at 239 Graham Road, A-20 zone. Maximum impervious coverage allowed is 35%, 26.6% proposed. Proposed building height is 24 feet; 30 feet allowed. Lot size is 5.3 acres; minimum lot size allowed is ½ acre. The new addition is 77 feet away from the closest property line; 10 feet required.
2. Special Exception criteria include:
· traffic impacts will not be detrimental to the residential character of the neighborhood;
· there will be minimal adverse effects on existing uses in the area;
· surrounding property values will be conserved and the character of the neighborhood will not be unduly disrupted;
· impacts will not be detrimental to the capacity of present and proposed utilities, streets, drainage systems, sidewalks, and other infrastructure;
· the land is physically suited to the proposed use and minimal adverse environmental impacts are created; and,
· due consideration to preservation of historic factors has been demonstrated.
3. Architectural and Design Review Committee reviewed this proposal on February 16 and was satisfied with the project as presented.
4. There is no new parking proposed. The total required parking with the new addition is 127 spaces; 103 provided. The applicant has indicated that uses will not be occurring simultaneously in more than two areas and thus no additional parking is necessary. Staff recommend that either a waiver or an area showing reserve parking would be the appropriate way to handle the difference between required and provided parking.
5. There is no new parking lot lighting proposed. New building lighting will need to have full cutoff fixtures.
6. The zoning enforcement officer has been working with the church to address excess signage that has existed on the site. The church has recently submitted an application to the Zoning Board of Appeals for their extra sign. If the ZBA chooses not to grant the variance, then site signage must be brought into conformance with zoning requirements.
7. The existing church building is located 170 feet away from the nearest neighbors to the south. The multi-purpose room addition will bring the church about 100 feet closer to the neighbors. There is very little vegetation between the church and the southerly neighbors. Staff suggested that a row of screening trees be planted along the church’s southern boundary between the parsonage and the playscape.
8. There are no regulated wetlands on this site. The plan received conservation approval from IWA/CC on March 1 with a $2,000 erosion & sediment control bond and no unusual approval conditions.
9. The Fire Marshal has reviewed this proposal and has requested paved access to the rear of the building. This requirement is being satisfied with a wide concrete sidewalk from the parking lot to the west side of the building. The Fire Marshal has indicated that the proposed sidewalk is adequate for fire equipment.
10. The church is currently served by public water and a septic system. If this application is approved, the septic system will be abandoned and the church will be connected to the public sewer. Water Pollution Control Authority approval is required.
11. If this application is approved, the Planning Dept. requests, in addition to items already noted, that the zoning data table be revised to reflect the new side yard setback of 77 feet rather than the existing side yard setback of 170 feet.
There were no engineering comments.
The public had the following comments:
Jane Kinsley, Steep Road:
Concerns with this application is with water coming from the area of the proposed site. (Exhibit A) These photographs show what happens between November and March every year. Pumps have been used to move water away from the house at a rate of 35 gallons per minute.
Will the berm and swale in the plan be enough to handle the current water situation, or will it wash away?
Bazzano read Exhibit B into the record.
Discussion ensued among the commissioners: (Reponses are in italics)
Could engineering discuss the adequacy of the proposed swale? Doolittle suggests extending the swale around the south side of the church, creating a berm, abutting the Kinsley property. Water will be collected in the gentle swale, flow around to the other side of the church and into a drain. Engineering will confirm that the size of the swale and berm are adequate to handle the water flow estimated by Design Professionals.
Is there an area identified to offset the deficit in the required parking? It was believed by Design Professionals that 75 spaces would be the maximum required due to 1 parking space needed per 3 seats (seats being 224 in sanctuary). A need for 24 spaces has been identified based on the proposed fellowship hall (1 space for every 250 sq.ft. floor area). If both of these areas were working together, this would mean 100 parking spaces were needed. Office space and day care/education parking space requirements have been considered. If more parking is needed, a waiver will be requested.
Parking regulation formulas figure parking spaces based on the uses total. Future uses of the property may require maximum space usage. Reserved parking should be shown on plans or a parking space waiver is requested.
There is enough tolerance with the impervious coverage to show reserved parking on plans.
Is there a buffer plan? A screening of evergreens would be agreed to as a screening along Steep Road.
Does the congregation meet any place other than the existing church (basement)? We currently congregate in the vestibule.
Will the proposed windows on the south side be operable? Yes.
Does the plan for the swale and berm cover issues for the previous problems as well as the new addition? Yes.
DeMallie noted that a parking waiver is being requested, or additional parking will be reserved. One seat for every three seats in the sanctuary seems to be the required parking for other churches.
The public hearing closed at 8:25 p.m.
Sorenson returned to the meeting, sitting for Choate.
4. Appl 05-68P, Adventure Quest – request for Special Exception to Section 6.1.3.9 of the Zoning Regulations and Site Plan of Development for the renovation of an industrial building to create indoor recreational facility on property located at 100 Bidwell Road, I zone (continued from 2/14/06)
Peter DeMallie of Design Professionals presented the application.
Exhibit C was submitted as information on teambuilding and its growth in corporations.
A revised floor layout plan was submitted with Exhibit D and reviewed. Concerns were addressed regarding hours of operation, special events and shipping and receiving hours.
Noise monitoring will be done pre and post opening during the appropriate hours in order to get true measurements.
South Windsor Police report dated January 26, 2006 has been considered. Two outstanding issues are removal of a bathroom door and wall pac lighting. The applicant is not proposing to do these at this time.
Recommendations made by the Police department regarding the buffer will be adhered to. The fence will be extended 500 feet more towards Route 5 than on the original plan and be 8 feet high.
The focus and main objective of Adventure Quest is to provide family recreation and entertainment. The Shepard family has many properties in the Town of South Windsor and they have a reputation of operating their properties in a family type manner. It is in their better interest to do the same with this proposed venue.
Lipe, Assistant Dirctor of Planning had the following comments:
Transcripts were reviewed of the transcript of when the amendment was adopted by the commission concerning alcohol. The amendment clearly stated that alcohol was included. It had been left off of the final draft, and since then has been corrected.
The public had comments:
Susan Aitner, 19 Deepwood Drive: Regulation 312.1 was read into the record. Concerns were addressed regarding alcohol sale/use in the industrial zone. Exhibit E was submitted.
Joe Wilcox, 80 Colony Road: Doug Nation has been working with the neighbors. It is felt that having Adventure Quest rather than a manufacturing operation next door would be more desireable.
Kimberly Halstead, 390 Abbe Road Extension: The proposed recreation facility will benefit families in town. Birthday parties for young children and a place for teenagers to go is needed in South Windsor.
Bazzano read Exhibit F into the record.
Discussion ensued among the commissioners:
Sorenson had concerns regarding hours of operation being non specific.
Slicer asked how will loitering by children be prevented? There will be a reception desk where you pay for admission. Below a certain age, adult supervision will be required.
Tracey Laufer, 7 Forest Hill Road: As Doug Nations partner, it has been planned that if children are not spending money, they will not be spending time in the facility. They will need to be actively participating in events and/or games.
Jeski asked how the special exception applies vs. the general regulation stipulating that there is no alcohol allowed in the industrial zone. DeMallie replied: Maneeley’s was also given a special exception to allow alcohol as well as a golf course. The special exception set special criteria which allowed alcoholic beverages.
Evans asked what is the size of the building? Currently, 21,000 is warehouse space; The north side is 5,500 sq. ft., 40,000 sq. ft is office space.
Evans asked if the reception desk will be manned. Yes. A person will be viewing security monitors at the reception area.
What is the fence material going to be? Pine.
Bazzano asked if the southern part of the building will be fenced off to prevent public access. There is an existing fence behind the building and additional fence is proposed.
Bazzano asked for clarification on the age requirement for parental supervision. The exact age has not been determined.
Lariviere asked if the billiard area will be for 21 and older. No, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Alcohol will not be allowed out of the restaurant area. Public will have access to the restaurant without having to enter or exit the main recreation facility.
Sullivan expressed concerns regarding the accessory use. Holidays need to be determined before approval. Holidays can be limited to 13. Special events could be better established. Approval conditions could be determined.
Sullivan asked what portion could be estimated as the accessory use of the 5,250 sq. ft. for open game-floor/circulation? There is a grey area because of the communal space. Video games could be estimated at 900 sq. ft.
Sullivan addressed the noise sound study. The first sound study documents that noise levels will exceed what is allowed in the regulations. A sound monitoring program is planned after approval. Why hasn’t it been done yet? It didn’t seem necessary to be done before. Noise has been addressed with the neighbors. Applicants will take immediate action to offensive noise. Our initial sound study used extreme noise that normally would not be generated.
Chairman Kennedy asked what special events would be held other than a Friday, Saturday or a holiday. A retirement dinner, fund raiser, testimonial or a chamber event. They could be over by 11:00 p.m. and an extension of the hours would not be needed.
Chairman Kennedy allowed comments from Susan Aitner:
Maneeley’s Banquet facility has a liquor license in the industrial zone because in 1998 it went in front of the zoning board of appeals to get a zoning variance. Ms. Aitner read the reason for the variance approval from minutes dated July 9, 1998. What is legally required regarding variances was read into the record (statute 8-6).
Doug Nation addressed the concerns regarding noise. Work has been done to keep noise levels down for the neighbors and other measures will continue to be pursued.
Sullivan expressed the intentions of the applicant being genuine, but it is necessary to see and hear answers to noise issues before the application has been granted. Regulations can not be violated and we will be held accountable.
The public hearing closed at 9:40 p.m
REGULAR MEETING – MADDEN ROOM
Chairman Kennedy called meeting to order at 9:45p.m.
