The permit is based on the plans entitled "Rainbow Hills" prepared for Home Farm Partnership, 435 Buckland Road, South Windsor, Connecticut, by consulting engineers of Gardner & Peterson Assoc. Such plans are dated 5-31-85, being revised on June 28, 1985; sheets 1 through 12 of 12. The following conditions must be -adhered to for this permit to be valid: 1. A,$15,000. bond is required. 2. Construction activities shall be subject to the approval of the Town Engineer. 3. The application shall indemnify and hold harmless the Town of South Windsor against any liability which might result from the proposed operation or use. 4. The permit is valid for one year and shall expire July 15, 1986 if not initiated and completed within one year from the date of approval.

Town of South Windsor South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Mr. Sartor: My mother, Marion Christensen, and I own property at #90-100 Oakland Road in South Windsor. We understand that adjoining property owned by Kupchunos and R wb rry may be being considered for development. Also, we believe that oth r prop rty on Oakland Road owned by Weatherall may also be under consideration for development. Drainage from all of these properties runs through ours, eventually crossing under Oakland Road. This is of considerable concern to us as the development of the Felt Road area tw my y are ago resulted in a very bad condition of flooding and erosion of our prop rty. At that time, without an adequate understanding of just how sev re the drainage problem could be, my mother sold an acre of land and c rtain "water rights" to the developer -- much to our present regret. Erosion and siltation on our land have been very severe ever since and it is not cl ar what if anything we can do about it. We would like to insure that no similar problems occur in connection with future developments adjacent to our prop rty. Could you advise me if the Town has any knowledge of pending development of adjacent properties and what requirements will be imposed to prevent future drainag " problems? Given reasonable advance notice, I will be glad to meet with appropriate officers of the Town, the developers, or otherwise to attend r 1 vant public meetings. I will appreciate any information you may be able to provide. Z17as , a)� O tensen N (P c cc.

INTRODUCTION The Home Farms Partnership has proposed the subdivision of a parcel of land on the east side of Connecticut Route 74 ( Ellington Road) in the Town of South Windsor, Connecticut . As shown in Figure No. 1 , the site , which is located south of Sand Hill Road, is to be subdivided into 33 parcels for single family residential development. Fuss & O' Neill , Inc . has been retained to study the impacts of the proposed subdivision on adjacent street traffic. This report has been prepared to document the findings of that study. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS Connecticut Route 74 is a State of Connecticut facility which consists of a single lane in each direction with a total width of between 26 and 30 feet . The posted speed limit in the vicinity of the site is 30 miles per hour. Ellington Road intersects Sand Hill Road at a 4-day stop controlled intersection. The west leg of this intersection is 40 feet wide and provides a connection with Sullivan Avenue to the west. The east leg is a local street which enters a residential area. _1 _ F4Jss&o7Q�LL.mc. In order to determine the impact of the proposed development on adjacent street traffic , the intersection of Ellington Road and Sand Hill Road was counted by representatives of Fuss & O' Neill on July 24 and 25 , 1985, and information on traffic levels was gathered from the Town of South Windsor, Connecticut Transportation Study, dated June , 1982. Using this data , the count information was projected to the 1987 designation year using a 1 percent per year growth factor to account for normal growth in the area. Additional traffic generated by the adjacent "Sand Hill Road Condominiums" project ( Table No. 2) was then added so that a more accurate representation of design year traffic conditions could be presented. Figure No. 2 shows the 1987 external traffic volumes , which represent design year traffic which does not have the site as its origin or destination. The greatest traffic impact on the roadway network will occur during the a.m. peak and p.m. peak hours, the periods when "home to work" and "work to home" trips are at their highest levels. Traffic counts conducted indicate that the a.m. peak hour is 7 :00 to 8 :00 a.m. and the p.m. peak hour is 4 : 30 to 5 : 30 p.m. Therefore , these hours were subsequently analyzed. C. SITE GENERATED TRAFFIC An estimate of the amount of traffic generated by the proposed development was made using the Institute of Transportation _2_ wss80D7ei.1fvc. Engineers "Trip Generation" manual , published in 1982. This manual , which is a compilation of trip generation rates for similar facilities , gives hourly trip generation rates for entering and exiting traffic during both the a.m. peak hour and the p.m. peak hour. These hourly trip generation rates (HTGR) are given in terms of vehicles generated per dwelling unit for residential developments . When multiplied by the number of units proposed , these rates yield the number of vehicles which can be expected to enter and exit the site during the peak hours . The factors and the generation rates are summarized in Table No. 1 of this report. D. DISTRIBUTION OF SITE GENERATED TRAFFIC Regional arrival/departure distributions to and from the proposed subdivision, as shown in Figure No. 3, were derived from existing traffic patterns , and indicate a directional split of 75 percent toward the south and 25 percent toward the north. The site generated traffic was then added to the roadway system in accordance with the arrival/departure pattern with the results shown in Figure No. 4. These volumes were added to the projected traffic volumes to yield the design year combined traffic volumes shown in Figure No. 5. _3_ FUssaoWOLLmc. E. ANALYSES In discussing capacity analyses , the term level of service is used to describe the operating condition of the road or intersection. Level of service is rated on a scale from A to F, with level of service A being the best condition, and level of service F the worst. In between, level of service C is considered good for peak periods , level of service D is usually the peak hour design standard, and level of service E is the theoretical capacity of the road or intersection. Level of service F is failure , with extensive delays and jammed conditions . Capacity analysis of the " Five Corners" intersection was not conducted because the construction of the "Wapping By-Pass" between Ellington Road and Sullivan Avenue will remove site generated traffic from this intersection and a new four-leg intersection will be created. 1 . Unsignalized Intersection Capacity Analysis Capacity analyses were conducted at the unsignalized intersections of the site driveway/Route 74 and Route 74/Sand Hill Road using the methodology found in Transportation Research Circular No. 281 , "Proposed Chapters for the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual" , published by the Transportation Research Baord in 1984 . Using this _4_ wss&o?WtLAJC. methodology , individual movements approaching an intersection are analyzed based on the delay time they experience at the intersection. The results of the analysis are as follows : a. Ellington Road (Route 74 ) and Site Driveway The introduction of Site Generated Traffic will cause an increase of 25 vehicles during the a.m. peak hour and 32 vehicles during the p.m. peak hour at this intersection. During the a .m. peak hour, traffic on Route 74 will experience no delays with only 7 vehicles projected to turn left into the site during this period . Exiting traffic will experience no delays , with 19 vehicles projected to exit the site during this period. During the p.m. peak hour, a similar pattern will be experienced , with no delays felt on Route 74 and only 4 vehicles turning left into the site. Exiting the site , however, will be more difficult due to the higher volume of through traffic on the roadway at this time. The 13 exiting vehicles can expect to experience fairly long delays. b. Ellington Road ( Route 74 ) and Sand Hill Road As described in Transportation Research Circular No. 281 , the level of service provided at a four-way stop Fuss&ONOLLANC. -5- intersection is a function of number of lanes , directional split , and total approach volume. Using these criteria , intersection analyses of external traffic conditions indicate a level of service D during the a .m. peak hour and D during the p.m. peak hour. The introduction of site generated traffic will cause no change in the level of service provided at this intersection. 2. Sight Distance Considerations Route 74 is a hilly, fairly straight roadway with roadside vegetation controlled by State maintenance forces. The measured sight lines available in both directions from the proposed driveway are presented in Figure No. 6 and are adequate for the 30 mph posted speed limit. As part of the required State Highway encroachment permit process , this sight line will be reviewed by the State Department of Transportation , Division of Traffic for adequacy before any such permit is issued. F. CONCLUSIONS Based on the foregoing analyses, it is the professional opinion of Fuss & O' Neill that the introduction of traffic generated by proposed subdivision will not disrupt the continuity of traffic flow on the adjacent roadway system, and that roadway conditions will be sufficient to provide safe and efficient travel for the traffic in the area.

Since this letter of credit is due to expire February 7, I hereby request that you issue a renewal letter of credit, effective February 7, 1987 in the amount of $80,000.00. Even though we are in advance of that date, I do need the renewal letter of credit at least one month before the expiration of the old letter to avoid the town finding it necessary to call the bond.

Parcel C is shown upon the enclosed utility easement plan which I have had my engineers prepare for the purpose of obtaining the easement from the Town of South Windsor. You will note that what is required is a twenty-five foot water line easement across a proposed road stub from Scott Drive. The road stub from Scott Drive which is shown as Parcel C has existed since the acceptance of the subdivision and approval thereof, which included Scott Drive. Rainbow Hills will be obtaining water service through that 25 foot easement to be provided by CWC. The easement will run in favor of the CWC. I also enclose a copy of the letter from CWC requiring the easement and a copy of the proposed easement document. Your assistance in obtaining a prompt conveyance of the easement would be deeply appreciated so that the project does not get delayed. As you know, the Planning and Zoning Commission, as a routine matter in this subdivision and in all others, required that water service be provided by CWC.

Sartor, Town Manager RE: REQUEST OF CONNECTICUT WATER COMPANY FOR WATERLINE EASEMENT/RAINBOW HILLS SUBDIVISION The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed placement of the waterline connecting Rainbow Hills to Scott Drive. A location map and draft easement document was submitted for consideration. The following comments are offered: As relates to the proposed location of the waterline and accompanying easement-- The actual location of the water main, as proposed, is not consistent with Section 2 . 4a of the South Windsor Subdivision Regulations . The line should be installed fifteen (15) feet south of , and parallel to, the northern most boundary line of "Parcel C. " The twenty-five (25) foot easement should be parallel to the above mentioned boundary line and be coincident to the line . As relates to the easement agreement-- The paragraphs of the easement have been numbered for reference to the following comments . Paragraph 2 : This paragraph deals with the control of brush and tree growth. Any control of plant growth should be done by mechanical means . The use of chemicals on Town property in a residential area by outside companies or agencies should not be encouraged or agreed to. Also , the sentence after the last semi-colon should be removed. Paragraphs 3 and 4 : Both paragraphs severely limit the Town' s right to make improvements to the parcel , including storage of materials or regrading. Any use of the parcel by the Town would require prior approval by the Connecticut Water Company. Paragraph 5 : The last sentence pertaining to ownership of lines and appurtenances should be removed. The easement is being forwarded to the Town' s attorney for review. I will do my best to expedite the review. Rob rt enault Di ector of Public Works cc : R.

Over the past few weeks I have been strongly requesting that the developer attend to the sedimentation and erosion controls as indicated on his plans as approved. For all the normal reasons, these items cannot be done or won' t be done, but foundations can go in. Item 11 of the approval requires the plot plans be approved by the Town Engineer, which is the typical procedure. Item 16 indicates no building permits will be issued until all conditions of approval have been complied with. I have been delaying or denying engineering approvals in hopes that the developer would comply with what he is supposed to be doing. According to your files , there has been only one building permit approved. The developer has narrowed down my options. I doubt if any plot plans will be approved for at least 10 days . At that time we will have determined the next steps . Thank you. Very truly yours , A. B. Davies Deputy Town Engineer ABD:dlb CC: Wayne C. Gerlt, Esquire U & R Housing Corp. John M.

South Windsor, Ct 06074 RE: Lot #31 - Rainbow Hills Subdivision Gentlemen: It has been brought to our attention by both the proposed home buyer and Wayne Gerlt, Esquire, their concern about the watercourse as it crosses lot #31 , adjacent to Ellington Road, below the warehouse. When the area was farmed, a certain amount of repair and maintenance was done along this watercourse by your men and equipment as a matter of good farming practices and a desire to keep the area clean and neat. It always looked good. Now with a new homeowner looking at a big gulley in his back yard, they can envision major difficulties . I don't see it that way. I would hope that someone in your group would come up with a corrective proposal that would enhance the total project. It is the first one to be seen as you head northerly. I don't have a solution, but I anticipate I could support a reasonable one. As far as other support from the town, I feel safe in assuming that taxpayers would and should take a dim view of town participation in correcting a drainage system in a subdivision that is less than one year old. The plans do not call for anything, perhaps that is our fault for not recognizing such a problem before approvals . Perhaps the approval process is too quick. I would hope that you would see the need and help out the homeowner and your site. I think it would be an awfully nice gesture.

Moran, Jr. , Chairman Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 RE: Application #423 U & R Construction Co. , Inc . Lot 22 , Rainbow Hills Subdivision - Review Dear Jack : In accordance with the standard review practice, enclosed are the comments as they relate to this proposal. The developers proposal for the subdivision, in 1985 , was essen- tially that the pond would remain as a viable water body and that the existing house would be altered to comply with the current standards. With the utility installation in the roadways, it appears that the springs that fed the pond have been diverted, and the water source eliminated. Now to eliminate a liability and an ugly situation, the plan indicates they propose to fill it in. The plan, as submitted, does provide a drain out of the ponding and substantial grading of the whole lot. In general, I am not opposed to what is proposed. It would be an improvement in the subdivision. Specific concerns that I have are: 1 . The house placement - which is not a IWA/CC concern. 2 . The lot does have a few mature trees . It appears the whole lot is to be graded, disregarding existing veg- etation. If the construction is to be as shown, and as per Item 1 in their grading and seeding applications, 'hll graded or disturbed areas, including slopes, shall be protected during clearing and construc- tion in accordance with the approved sediment control plan until they are permanently stabilized. " John M. Moran, Jr. November 5 , 1986 RE: U & R Construction Rainbow Hills Page 2 . At this time of the year, it does present a problem. I would hope that perhaps an on site inspection with the excavator and/or builder prior to excavation could minimize the areas dis- turbed and to be restored. If an approval were to be granted with conditions , a bond of per- haps $2 , 500 should cover the erosion and sediment control phase. Very truly yours, A.

Box 559 South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Attorney Gerlt: Subject: Rainbow Hills - Streets It has come to my attention that on several occasions , staff members from the Engineering Division have contacted you regarding re-establishing shimming of the manholes and catch basins along the subject project. To date, nothing has been done. I trust you understand the importance of maintaining these structures in a safe condition at all times and associated liability. Plowing equipment has been damaged as a result of the lack of adequate shimming on the manholes and catch basins . I must advise you that if you do not take adequate measures to correct the above noted deficiencies by the end of Thursday, January 15 , 1987 , the Town will take measures to correct said deficiencies at your cost. It is imperative that you maintain the subject streets in a safe and passable condition. Very truly yours , Michael J. GA4,ftick Director of Public Works MJG:bmr cc: Melvin C.

Center Street Manchester, CT 06040 RE: Grading at Lots 6 & 7 , Rainbow Hills Dear Mr. Upenieks: It has come to my attention that fill material has been brought in to the rear of Lot 6 and Lot 7 on Windy Hill Drive in the Rainbow Hills Subdivision. Examination of the plot plans, used to acquire building permits, showed no regrading at the rear of these properties was to be done. The re-grading of these lots raises concern in two areas. The first is that there is exposed earth with no concern for proper soil erosion control measures. The erosion of soil has the down- stream property owners rightly concerned. The second concern is that an area has been established where slopes are steeper than they were originally. The velocities of any stormwater run-off are greater, subsequently another concern for soil erosion is raised. Temporary and permanent soil erosion control measures must be placed on the site. There must also be a resolution to the steep slopes and direction of the stormwater run-off. Please contact me so that these questions can be answered in a timely manner.

Box 452 South Windsor, CT 06074 Louise Evans, Chairperson Planning & Zoning Commission Town of South Windsor Dear members of Planning & Zoning: About two (2) years ago, Mr. Ludis Upenieks of U. & R. developed property on the east side of my home of more than 32 years to the rear of Lots 6 and 7 on Windy Hill Drive in t1pe Rainbow Hills sect. I was promised that Ludi would carve out a swail on the west side of the Harris property, so that water and muck would not run down onto my land. Instead, tons upon tons of earth were brought in and they raised the ter- rain into a high hill. Before they did this, this particular land sloped up very gently. Now, as a result of their changing the terrain, a steep slope was left at an angle into my land and inground swimming pool. Also, raw dirt was pushed down, including rocks and stones. It was left an absolute mess. There are now, rats and snakes accumulating, along with messy poisonous plants and bramble bushes. I spoke to Ludi many times and got nowhere: I have tried to be a neat property owner and have lived in town over 65 y ars. I have never complained about anything before. Somehow this does not seem right. For your further information on this aggravating matter, I have attached her to a letter dated 3-18-87, from Tomn Engineer Richard Martel to Mr. Ludis Upenieks. Thank you for your kind attention. Sincerely, Margaret D. Nachyly Attachment: 1-Letter, dated 3-18-872 R. Martel to L. Upenieks.

Subdivision to be pinned and monumented and appropriate certi- fication of same submitted. In addition to the above noted items, there remains a drainage problem affecting several lots in the subdivision. Specifically, drainage from Lot 7 drains onto Lot 6 . Water is ponding on Lot 6 northeast of the garage, then overflows along the driveway, across the sidewalk onto the road. The severity of this particular problem is such that it has the potential to cause icing problems along the driveway of Lot 6 and the sidewalk and road in front of Lot 6. A second drainage problem exists between Lots 2 and 3 and is the result of cumulative run-off from Lots 4, 5, 6 and 7. This problem has re- sulted in a continued erosive condition along Lot 2 and 3 and a subse- quent concentration of storm run-off across the sidewalk and onto Kupchunos Drive. It is imperative that the above two identified drain- age problems be rectified prior to acceptance of this subdivision by the Town. Should you have any questions regarding the above matters please contact this office. Very truly yours, 71�LleTiss � WG Michael J.

Gantick, the Director of the Public Works Department. Enclosed with that letter you will find a letter dated May 3, 1988 addressed to Mr. Gantick by Harold R.

Cianci, P.E. with a sketch appended thereto. It is becoming apparent that despite repeated assurances, no action has been taken to resolve the complaints of the residents of the subdivision. I understand that you believe the drainage problem of Mr. and Mrs. Harris to have already been corrected, but their Attorney apparently believes there is still a problem, and some action on your part to resolve that matter and clear up the misunderstanding appears to be necessary. As to the complaint by Mr. and Mrs. Nowak, that is a matter which only you can resolve. In the past, you and I have also discussed the situation on Lots 1, 2 and 3 which can only be addressed by your company. It is clear that under the State Statutes, subdivision regulations and the plans which were approved for the Rainbow Hills Subdivision, the responsibility for these matters is not mine but is yours as the builder of the homes. I am not privy to all of the various agreements and arrangements between yourself and the homeowners involved, but it appears that you should take steps to satisfy Mr. Gantick that you have done everything for which you are responsible, if that is to be your position. For my part, unless these matters are resolved quickly, I will leave the matter to be resolved between the Town of South Windsor, the homeowners and yourself.

Banach, Director of Planning FROM: Michael J. Gantick, Director of Public Works RE: INBOW HILLS PERFO E BON FIELD REVIEW UPDATE Please be advised that this Department has field checked the subject project and the following items remain outstanding. 1 . Throughout the subdivision there are numerous areas in which the grading between the edge of curb and the sidewalk is not consistent with the Town's standard grading, i .e. grading is improper, area needs to be re-topsoiled and seeded ( free of stones larger than 1 1/2" and miscellaneous debris ) ; Lots 1, 2, 3 , 4 , 5 , 6, 7, 8, 12 , 15, 16, 17 , 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 , 30 . 2 . Various sections of sidewalks in front of the following lots are cracked and require replacement of sections : Lots 6 , 7 and 15 . 3 . Water gate Lot 10 driveway to be cut out and brought to grade. 4 . Move cable T.V. box from in front of fire hydrant along Lot 3 . Hydrant operation inhibited by present location of utility. 5 . Trees planted between edge of curb and sidewalk in front of Lot 4 to be removed or relocated outside of street R.O.W. 6 . All catch basin sumps are to be cleaned free of all sand and debris . All storm drainage pipes to be flushed. (To be done under the inspection of Town) . 7 . All pipes in catch basins to be cut flush with walls . 8 . All catch basins to be repointed. Cement all spaces (CB at 7+10 right Windy Hill Road has space between CB to and first section of CB wall ) . 9 . Cul-de-sac banks on Kupchunos Drive to be loamed/seeded (stabilized) . 10 . 18 inch double Maple tree right side of Kupchunos Drive cul- de-sac to be removed along with dead fall within R.O.W. /Parcel "C" area. 11 . All construction debris along Kupchunos Drive cul-de- sac/Parcel "C" to be removed. All curbing to be backed up and graded per Town standards . 12 . Path to the detention basin to be stabilized. Present path is eroding. Process stone ( fine) rolled over existing material. 13 . Detention basin bottom and sides to be stabilized. All construction debris, stones to be removed from basin bottom and side slopes . Basin to be "dry" basin. 14 . Inlets/outlets to detention basin to be riprapped with approved material . 15 . Manhole #18 near detention basin to be repaired. 16 . Excess soil materials to be removed from site, area stabilized. 17 . Access to detention basin to be gravelled/stabilized; 6" process , 4" loam and seed. 18 . As-built plans are to be submitted. 19 . Subdivision to be pinned and monumented and appropriate certification of same submitted. In addition to the above noted items, there remains a drainage problem affecting several lots in the subdivision. Specifically, drainage from Lot 7 drains onto Lot 6 . Water is ponding on Lot 6 northeast of the garage, then overflows along the driveway, across the sidewalk onto the road. The severity of this particular problem is such that it has the potential to cause icing problems along the driveway of Lot 6 and the sidewalk and road in front of Lot 6 . A second drainage problem exists between Lots 2 and 3 and is the result of cumulative run-off from Lots 4,5,6 and 7 . This problem has resulted in a continued erosive condition along Lot 2 and 3 and a subsequent concentration of storm run-off across the sidewalk and onto Kupchunos Drive. It is imperative that the above two identified drainage problems be rectified prior to acceptance of this subdivision by the Town. Should you have any questions regarding the above matters please contact this office . MJG/pmm cc: P & Z File Engineering File t 0'V 8�4 y Towi 1.

Sabella: RE: Letter of October 17, 1990 In response to your letter of October 17, 1990, please be advised that the developer has been instructed to regrade the open area behind the 600 grouping. The regrading is specifically aimed at providing a positive drainage slope, thereby eliminating the present high and low spots which are collecting/holding water. The regrading at a positive drainage slope will allow surface water runoff to drain from the area into the detention basin, mitigating the saturation of the soil from standing water. Your concern about the erosion of the soil was discussed during the field review of the situation. To mitigate the potential for erosion, the developer was advised to utilize proper erosion and sedimentation control measures, i.e. mulch cover, haybale and/or silt fence check dams, until the area is stabilized. Typically, stabilization of grassed slopes which collect water requires periodic reseeding/stabilization until a full stand of grass is established. Therefore, some erosion is expected, but should be corrected by the developer until the area is fully stabilized. The Town will not accept the regrading until it is satisfactorily stabilized. I trust I have answered your questions . Very truly yours, Michael J. Gaimtick, P.E. "----'-Director of Public Works MJG/jsv cc: Marcia A. Banach, Director of Planning Jerry C.
