PUBLIC HEARING / COUNCIL CHAMBERS
Vice Chairman Pacekonis read Legal Notice into the record.
1. Appl. 12-17P, Simmons Premier Soccer Club - request for a renewal of a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2.13.a) to create two soccer fields and associated parking, at 225 West Road (southwesterly corner of West Road and Sullivan Ave.), GC zone
Mr. Simmons, applicant for Simmons Premier Soccer Club, was not present and application was passed.
2. Appl. 12-19P, Oakland Express – request for a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2.13.a) to allow U-Haul Rentals from property located at 249 Oakland Road, RC zone
Mr. Zahir Sharaf, applicant for Oakland Express, presented the application. Mr. Sharaf, a South Windsor resident for the last fifteen years, made improvements and opened the convenience store on Oakland Road last September after it had been closed for over five years. Although the timing of launching this business was highly unfavorable due to financial hardships from the economic tough times, he took on the challenges of owning and operating this business. As it has become increasingly difficult to make a strong source of income from this store Mr. Sharaf would like to add U-Haul Rental services to the property in order to make his overall business more profitable. Parking plans have already been enclosed and provided for the three trucks and two trailers. In addition, the majority of the residents in the immediate
neighborhood are in favor of opening the U-Haul Rental business as confirmed by the petition signed by those living in the area. Mr. Sharaf requests the Town of South Windsor to permit this U-Haul business which will benefit the community significantly and will also enhance the prospects of Oakland Express doing better business.
Town Planner, Michele Lipe, made staff comments as follows:
Appl. 12-19P, Oakland Express – request for a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2.13.a) to allow U-Haul Rentals from property located at 249 Oakland Road, RC zone
1) The applicant is seeking approval to store three trucks up to 14 feet in length as well as two trailers. This type of use would typically be found in a general commercial or industrial zone.
2) The site plan shows the location that the trucks would be parked when not in use. Staff has concern with the location of the one truck that is close to the entrance off of Oakland Road and should be moved away from the entrance.
3) The wording of the T & C permit regulation is that, “Temporary and conditional permits may be granted by the Commission for a period not to exceed 2 years. Such approval may be given after a public hearing if, in the judgment of the Commission, the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served, and the appropriate use of neighboring property will not be substantially or permanently injured, and traffic and other hazards will not result from such use.”
4) Any signage proposed – temporary or permanent requires approval from the town.
5) We had worked with the new owner originally when he was first opening up and he submitted a parking and landscaping plan to be completed 11/2011. To date, the evergreen trees have not been planted. We would request the PZC to require that planting if this approval is granted.
Town Engineer, Jeff Doolittle, made engineering comments echoing those of the Town Planner said there should not be a truck parked in the entrance drive off Oakland Road. It should be moved further into the site.
Members of the public speaking in favor of the application were Mr. Tom Delnicki of 130 Felt Road speaking as a private citizen. Mr. Delnicki stated he is one of the closest non-abutters to the property. He had tremendous concern a year ago when various graffiti began to appear on the building and it was going into disrepair and had the markings of becoming a blighted property. Mr. Delnicki was delighted to see a store go in and a small business person take the property over and turn it around so it would become a performing piece of property on the tax roles and serve the area. He stated he thought the request a reasonable one; that a temporary conditional permit would give them the opportunity to prove this additional use at the business would not have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Mr. Cary Prague of 60
Krawski Drive, representing himself, also spoke in favor of the application. He stated when Mr. Sharaf started the construction of his business to turn the blighted old Mobile station at the bottom of his street into a convenience store he was thankful. It had fallen in disrepair and undergone several rounds of vandalism and graffiti. Mr. Prague stated he knew Mr. Sharaf from previous work with him and found him to be a man of repute; one who could turn the business around and urged the commission members to vote for the application.
No one spoke in opposition.
A petition of approximately sixty South Windsor residents in favor of the application (Exhibit A) was received and read into record by Vice Chairman Pacekonis. The Commissioner then received and read a letter into the record from True North Real Estate Management for the abutting property, Wentworth Park Association (Exhibit B) recommending the following to be addressed: 1) Landscaping near dumpsters; 2) Supplies stored on back side of building; 3) Trash blowing into retention pond; 4) An 8 ft vinyl white fence to be installed along property line. Commissioner Carroll posed questions about fencing and about the size of rental trucks. Mr. Sharaf replied the parked trucks measure 10’ to 20’ in length and then discussed the fencing and landscape issues stating the supplies and trash issues have been addressed.
They have hired a landscape company for plantings. He further addressed the fencing stating the gas station was built 1989 long before the abutting office condos existed so that when the condos were built their windows faced the high volume gas station. Mr. Sharaf felt a fence would be cost prohibitive. Vice Chairman Pacekonis asked about the length and location of the trucks. Mr. Sharaf replied and said he would comply with the Town Engineer’s comments. Chairman Kennedy asked about the construction of the vinyl fencing and after the applicant’s reply closed public hearing at 7:55 p.m.
3. PZC Sponsored amendment to Section 5.3 Office Conversion Overlay to eliminate section 5.3.3.9 which limits offices to the first floor only
Town Planner Lipe gave a description of the amendment. Planner Lipe referred the amendment to CRCOG as required. The CRCOG report showed in its review no conflict with regional plans or policies or the concerns of neighboring towns. No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition. Vice Chairman Pacekonis read letter from Attorney Marianne Lassman Fisher (Exhibit C) into record which supported the amendment. No questions were posed. Chairman Kennedy closed the public hearing at 7:57 p.m.
4. PZC Sponsored amendment to Section 6.5 Signs to modify criteria for signage including Section 6.5.3 General Criteria; and minor changes to the provisions for temporary and permanent signage in residential and commercial zones
Town Planner Lipe gave a description of the amendment stating “There are a couple of sign issues that we had discussed over the past year and the amendment at hearing tonight was intended to address these issues as well as comments made by the public at the PZC hearing on the existing sign regulation that was held last June. Proposed changes include:
Section 6.5.4 Signs – General Provisions
Modify Section D – to add provision that sign are not allowed to interfere with site lines
Add Section T, U and V – T allows the Town to remove sign illegally placed in the ROW
Section U – Allows for two 4 X 6 advertising panels on CT Transit bus stops
Section V requires a business to have a place of business in town for signage
Table 6.5.7.A and B Signs in all residential zones
Adding the requirement that Construction signs are allowed while the construction is going occurring on the property.
Table 6.5.7.A Signs Allowed in Commercial/Office/Industrial Zones
Adding the allowance for Additional Identification Signs on property with multiple entrances provided the entrances are 200 feet apart
Adding an increase in the allowance of building sign to 2 sf for each linear foot of building frontage with allowing for a 25% increase with the buildings are over 300 feet from the roadway. It would also allow for a minimum of 24 sf of signage regardless of frontage
The current regulation only allows 1 sf each linear foot of frontage which was a reduction from 3 sf of linear frontage.
Also, on properties that slope away from the road, the height of the sign would be measured at a projected roadway grade.
Temporary signage in commercial/office and industrial zones –
Add a provision limiting the total square feet of temporary signage to 36 sf and to add a provision that allows for temporary signage within the interior of a shopping center without permits at the owners discretion – provided such signs are not visible from the public way.
Sign Embellishment – Add criteria that sign can be referred to the ADRC for review.

Add a provision for a one Directory Sign per entrance limited to 18 sf and 7 feet in height
Section 6.5.12 Off-Premise Temporary Signs
Change the timeframe to limit special event signage to 60 days and to require approval from staff for sponsorship signage
The Capitol Region Council of Governments has reviewed the proposed amendment as required. CRCOG provided a report which found no apparent conflict with regional plans and policies or the concerns of neighboring towns. If this amendment is approved, the Planning Department has no recommended approval modifications.
Town Engineer Doolittle had no engineering comments.
Councilor Prague spoke in favor of the amendment. Discussion followed. No one spoke in opposition. Commissioner Carroll posed a question about construction signage. Town Planner Lipe replied. Chairman Kennedy closed the public hearing at 8:05 p.m.
Chairman Kennedy returned to Item #1 on the agenda.
Appl. 12-17P, Simmons Premier Soccer Club - request for a renewal of a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2.13.a) to create two soccer fields and associated parking, at 225 West Road (southwesterly corner of West Road and Sullivan Ave.), GC zone
Mr. Simmons presented the application stating there were no changes to plans previously submitted but is considering purchasing the land from the owner by applying for a non profit 5013C. If he was to purchase the land through this grant the property would not be developed but preserved as a trust. Mr. Simmons is encouraging the property owner to keep it as open space and as a soccer field if possible.
Town Planner Lipe gave the following staff report:
Request for a renewal of two-year temporary and conditional permit to allow two soccer fields and associated parking on property located at the southwesterly intersection of Sullivan Ave and West Road, GC zone.
1) The wording of the T & C permit regulation is that, “Temporary and conditional permits may be granted by the Commission for a period not to exceed 2 years. Such approval may be given after a public hearing if, in the judgment of the Commission, the public convenience and welfare will be substantially served, and the appropriate use of neighboring property will not be substantially or permanently injured, and traffic and other hazards will not result from such use.”
2) The applicant original sought a T & C because outdoor recreation is not a permitted use in the GC zone, and the soccer use was originally intended to be a temporary use until such time as the owner proceeds with development plans. I know the applicant has recently inquired whether or not the PZC would consider adding this use, outdoor recreation, to the General Commercial permitted uses.
3) This site had historically been farmed. There are regulated wetlands on the westerly portion of the site which limits what can be done without a wetlands permit. The improvements to date have included raking flat the farm rows and seeding. Only one of the fields has been completed and is utilized.
4) The applicant’s updated narrative indicates notes that the fields would typically be used Monday – Friday 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM, with games on Saturday and Sunday. Last fall he had requested to be able to use portable lights to allow play after daylight savings time. The PZC granted permission to play with portable lights until 8:00 PM.
5) The plan shows a 4-foot fence along portions of Sullivan Avenue and West Road; only the Sullivan Ave fence has been installed. The applicant’s renewal request indicates that he does not plan to put in the telephone poles and netting as shown on the plans because the goal is currently about 180 feet from Sullivan Ave.
6) There is also a port-a-potty and garbage can that he brings to site. The original plan required this to be screened by 2 arborvitaes; to date that has not occurred.
7) With the original application, staff had expressed some concern as to the adequacy of the parking provided. The PZC’s original approval limited play to one field at a time. To date, parking has not been an issue, however only field has been utilized. Mr. Simmons has indicated to staff that he would like to add some additional parking which has not yet been designed. If this is something the PZC is ok with we can work with Mr. Simmons and his engineer to accomplish this additional parking.
Town Engineer Doolittle had no engineering comments.
No one from the public spoke in favor or opposition. Vice Chairman Pacekonis posed a question about site screening to be completed within the application period. Mr. Simmons replied with landscaping ideas. Vice Chairman Pacekonis asked Town Engineer Doolittle if there were issues with clearing specific areas of the property. Town Engineer Doolittle replied that we could work with the applicant if he decides to do further clearing. Chairman Kennedy clarified that this is a temporary and conditional permit. Mr. Simmons replied. Chairman Kennedy asked Town Planner Lipe if there had been any recorded complaints and she replied there had not been any since the discussion last year of adding portable lights. Chairman Kennedy closed public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
REGULAR MEETING / MADDEN ROOM
Chairman Kennedy called the Regular Meeting to order at 8:20 p.m.
PUBLIC PARTICIPATION: None
NEW BUSINESS:
1. Appl. 12-18P, Scott Kelley – request for a 2 lot minor subdivision of 1.5 acres to be known as ‘Colby’s Corner’, on property located on the northwest corner of Slater Street and Deming Street, AA-30 zone
Mr. Scott Kelley, applicant for ‘Colby’s Corner’, resident of 389 Slater Street, presented the application for consideration to divide the aforementioned lot into two lots measuring 34,775 sq.ft. and 32,185 sq.ft. conforming to the 30,000 sq.ft. minimum for the zone. Further description followed. Mr. Kelley asked for a waiver for street trees because of the existing large maple trees on the south side of the new lot which will remain.
Town Planner Lipe gave the following report:
1) Request for approval of a one-lot subdivision of 389 Slater Street, AA-30 zone. The site is approx. 1.6 acres and there is an existing house with a driveway on to Slater Street.
2) Minimum lot size required in the AA-30 zone is 30,000 sf. The minimum lot size proposed is 32,185 square feet for the existing house and 34,775 sq ft for the new lot.
3) The new lot will have a driveway onto Deming Street, located away from the intersection. There are no sidewalks along Slater Street or Deming Street near this site.
4) There is an existing hedgerow of trees on the new lot that screens the existing house.
5) There are no regulated wetlands on the property.
6) The site will be serviced by public water and sewers. WPCA approval is required.
7) The applicant is showing a utility easement along the northern property boundary. He has indicated that a barn might be built some time in the future and utility service would be desired.
8) Street trees are typically required however because of the number of existing trees on site, the Tree Warden does not feel they are warranted.
If this application is approved, Planning Dept has no other requested modifications.
Town Engineer Doolittle gave the following engineering comments: The Town plans to reconstruct Slater Street beginning in June 2012, between Oakland Road and Deming Street, including the intersection of Slater and Deming. Most of our comments relate to making any necessary utility cuts in Slater Street before this road is reconstructed.
1) The sewer lateral should be installed for the proposed house to beyond the street line now, before the Town reconstructs the road.
2) The gas service line for the proposed house should be located on Deming Street so it does not need to go under the road pavement.
3) Sleeves should be installed now for the water, electric, phone and cable service lines to the proposed house before the town reconstructs the road.
4) A sewer lateral and sleeves for all utility service lines should be installed now for the proposed utility easement, before the Town reconstructs the road.
5) The cellar floor elevation of the proposed house is below the top of the catch basin that the foundation drain is to connect to, so a back flow preventer valve should be installed in the foundation drain.
Commissioner Carroll posed question about access. Mr. Kelley replied. Discussion followed.
Vice Chair Pacekonis made a motion to approve the above mentioned application with the following conditions:
1) This approval is for two lots, numbered 1 and 2.

2. Appl. 11-24P, Evergreen Walk – preliminary discussion regarding recent approval
Mr. Chris Smith, Attorney for Shipman & Goodwin LLP on behalf of Evergreen Walk LLC, started the preliminary discussion for the possible modification of the Commission’s final plan approval from September of 2011 of a mixed use development located at Evergreen Walk. A copy of the 2011 final plan approval letter was provided to the Commission.
Attorney Smith gave an overview of their proposal discussing the residential and commercial components of the development. The approved plan includes 200 luxury multi family dwellings to be located in two separate buildings along with a hotel and commercial space. A two to one ratio (residential to commercial) must be provided. A phasing plan requires a hotel to be built before the second residential building is constructed. The approval includes the understanding a request for possible modifications to the approval could be made to the Commission to accommodate market realities. Two developers are extremely interested in constructing the residential and hotel components of the approved plan: Mr. Scott Jaeger, President of Radius Hospitality from Canton, Ohio for the hotel component and for the residential component Mr.
J.P. Highland, Director of Development for Bon Adventure Realty Group LLC from Arlington, Virginia. For the developers to go forward they will need the Commission to eliminate the phasing schedule so the residential component can be built without waiting for the construction of the hotel. Mr. Alan Lamson followed with comments and graphics. Attorney Smith made further comments followed by Mr. Scott Jaeger of Radius Hospitality. Commissioner Pacekonis had questions about the type of construction and discussion followed. Mr. J.P. Highland of Bon Adventure made comments. Town Manager, Mr. Matthew Galligan, made comments in support of the project. Discussion followed amongst the Commissioners. Chairman Kennedy asked for further feedback and closed the discussion stating the Commission is willing to look at the request and is open to modifying provisions which are acting as obstructions to moving forward.
3. Appl. 07-69P, Dzen Tree Subdivision Open Space – discussion regarding Phase 1 Open Space
Mr. Rob Dzen, applicant for Dzen Tree Subdivision, began discussion on the above application. Betty Warren, Chairman of Inland Wetlands Conservation Commission, submitted subdivision regulations with a memo from Senior Environmental Planner, Jeff Folger (Exhibit C). IWA/ACC Chairman Warren requested the Commission not make any changes to the Dzen Tree Farm Subdivision Open Space requirements stating the IWA/CC felt the best use for the property is open space with the planting of warm season grass to create a meadow habitat with a single mowing once a year following the nesting season. This recommendation is part of the original approval. Mr. Dzen proposed questions about mowing once a year. Mr. Ray Favreau, Director of Recreation, stated the concept is not to be adversary to conservation but to have a balance of
beneficial uses noting by leasing the property to a farmer to hay three times a year to create revenue for the town then would then remove the town from maintenance. Vice Chairman Pacekonis encouraged following the suggestions and comments of Senior Environmental Planner Folger to hay only once. Discussion followed. Chairman Kennedy stated he thought the Commission’s initial action was correct to receive revenue for the town for the mowing and to be consistent with the purpose of the regulations to maintain the land for public recreation and open space. Discussion followed concerning land and wildlife conservation and public use.
Vice Chairman Pacekonis made a motion to deny the request to change the requirements for the open space. Commissioner Kuehnel seconded the motion. Commissioners Pacekonis, Kuehnel and Dexter voted for the motion. Commissioners Kennedy, Carroll and Butter voted against. Motion failed 3-3. The requirements of the original approval stand and remain in effect.
4. Bob Urso – preliminary discussion regarding Route 5 rezoning
Mr. Peter DeMallie, President of Design Professionals Inc., representing Mr. Bob Urso and Mr. Dan Zach, owners of 1049 John Fitch Boulevard, began discussion with map graphics on potential rezoning of Route 5. Mr. DeMallie stated the site could incorporate many commercial uses allowed in a RC zone and one use that is not allowed, a gas refueling station to include other services or/and businesses beneficial to the public and surrounding residential area which might also act as a catalyst for the redevelopment of Route 5. Discussion followed. Commissioner Carroll concurred with further comments from others. Chairman Kennedy suggested potentially creating a third type of commercial zone that would support the industrial zone.
A motion to extend the meeting past 10:00 p.m. was made by Vice Chairman Pacekonis and seconded by Commissioner Carroll. The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.
Mr. DeMallie suggested submitting a draft for a future application for a zoning amendment and a zoning change concurrently. Discussion continued. Chairman Kennedy closed the discussion.
5. Appl. 12-17P, Simmons Premier Soccer Club - request for a renewal of a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2.13.a) to create two soccer fields and associated parking, at 225 West Road (southwesterly corner of West Road and Sullivan Ave.), GC zone
Vice Chairman Pacekonis made a motion to approve the above application with the following conditions:
1) The temporary and conditional permit will expire on April 10, 2014, and must be renewed before that time if the use is to continue.
2) If there are buildings, structures, signs or other items that require a building permit or other Town approvals/permits, all such approvals or permits must be obtained prior to construction or use of the site. All free standing signs and/or building signs require the issuance of a sign permit before they are erected.
3) Parking for this use is allowed on-site only. No parking is allowed on public streets or within the right-of-way of public streets, nor on the Town of South Windsor property on the south side of West Road. If the parking lot becomes inadequate, use of the fields must be discontinued until adequate parking is provided. If the applicant decides to expand the parking area, a plan must be submitted to town staff for review and approval.
4) Landscaping screening is required of garbage cans and port-a-potty.
Commissioner Dexter seconded the motion. The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.
6. Appl. 12-19P, Oakland Express – request for a 2 year temporary and conditional permit (Section 2013.a) to allow U-Haul Rentals from property located at 249 Oakland Road, RC zone
Commissioner Carroll made a motion to approve the above application with the following conditions:
1) This approval is for the rental of U-Haul trucks and trailers – a maximum of three trucks and two trailers are allowed on site at any one time.
2) All trailers and/or trucks should be parked away the access drive.
3) The previously approved landscaping plan must be implemented by the end of this planting season (by June 30, 2012).
4) This two-year temporary and conditional permit for this use will expire on April 24, 2014 and will have to be renewed at that time if this use is to continue.
Vice Chairman Pacekonis seconded the motion. The motion carried and the vote was unanimous.
7. PZC Sponsored amendment to Section 5.3 Office Conversion Overlay to eliminate section 5.3.3.9 which limits offices to the first floor only
