on the south east corner of Ellington and Chapel Road , RR Zone .
Discussion ensued , Rob Buck representing Kinder-Care , clarified where the
property line lies for the Commission . Traffic safety was a major concern
of many of the Commissioners . It was brought up that 135 students were to
attend the Center , and that there were 25 parking spaces . Mrs . Rossi
brought up the question of Open House functions and where all the parents
would park . Atty . Rome stated that arrangements could be made with
adjacent commercial property owners during Open House functions - to use
their parking lot . Mrs . Rossi also suggested erecting some type of fence
around the property near the road to further ensure that no one would back
onto Ellington Road . Mrs . Evans suggested building a smaller building
structure to enable more space for parking . Mr . Castro stated that this
particular intersection is known to be the most dangerous intersection in
South Windsor .
Mrs . Klenke stated that she agreed that there is a great need for this
type of service in South Windsor .
The Commission stated that tightness of the site was a major problem and
that letters from surrounding commercial industries stating that they
would be willing to cooperate with parking needs in the case of an open
house function would be beneficial .
Mrs . Rossi moved to deny without prejudice , the application and Mr . Castro
seconded the motion . All voted favor and the motion was carried
unanimously with Mr . Hallowell and Mr . Sorenson abstaining .

RE: Kindercare Application Review
Dear Kevin:
As indicated in the June review, there are no wetlands on
the site.
With respect to the conservation requirements, there was
nothing submitted with the plans of August 20, 1987 . I am
presuming that the narrative submitted in Play would still be
applicable and a part of their proposal . With this in mind,
the same conditions, with their narrative shown on the plans,
could be sufficient for this proposal.

Re: Site Plan for Kinder-Care Learning Center
Dear Mr. Rome:
At your suggestion, I contacted Rob Buck, of the engineering firm that
prepared your site plan for the Kinder-Care Learning Center, to be
located at the corner of Chapel and Ellington Roads. The discussion
centered around the bus turnaround that would be located on the site.
The Board of Education, in its transportation policy and guidelines, has
designated that buses will enter locations of day care centers only if
an adequate turnaround exists. Mr. Buck has indicated that the
turnaround proposed for this center would require a backing maneuver if
buses were required to enter the property. The turnaround is
constructed in a "T" fashion, which does resemble the turning radius of
a cul-de-sac.
Since buses cannot turn in one swing, because of the radius they need,
the Board policy is clear as to the only time cul-de-sace streets would
be used. In this case, the Board would not utilize this area as a bus
turnaround. Attached are pages 4, 5, and 6 of the Board of Education
Transportation Guidelines Policy, dealing with this issue of bus
turnarounds.
We would provide bus service for those students attending the Pleasant
Valley Elementary School, and would stop on Chapel Road, at the
driveway, to pick up students. It is my understanding, from talking
with Mr. Buck, that the Kinder-Care Learning Center would not be
availing themselves of school bus transportation. They will be
providing their own vehicles for transporting children to and from the
various schools in our community. I, therefore, do not see the school
system at any time being required to use the bus turnaround as proposed
for the site.

Section 4.13.2.3 (e)
Is the (20) foot drainage easement an existing or proposed
easement? The engineer should clarify this on the plan.
Section 4.13.2.3 (g)
Are monuments shown at the P.C. and P.T. of the curve
section existing or proposed?
Section 4.13.2.4. (e)
All new plantings and present wooded area should be shown
on the plan.
GENERAL COMMENTS
1. A legend indicating a minimum of the following items
should be shown on the plan.
Existing Proposed
Contour - -
Spot Grade - -
Fences - -
Sewer Manhole - -
Drain Manhole - -
Sewer Line - -
Drain Line - -
Water Line - -
Edge of Bit - -
It is very difficult to differentiate between the existing,
existing to be removed, and proposed structures on the
plan.
2. The aisle width is labeled as 241 wide on the plan;
however, it scales to a distance of 221 wide. The
engineer should clarify this on the plan.
3. Proposed spot grades should be shown in the vicinity of
the Tot Lot so as to insure proper grading and the
avoidance of puddling in this area.
4. The proposed roof drainge system should be indicated
on the plan.
5. The concrete sidewalk should be designed with a positive
slope away from the building.

Page Three

Engineers/Architects
6. The proposed town sidewalk appears to encroach the
property line in the vicinity of the street intersection.
If this is what the engineer intends, then an easement
should be shown in that area.
7. The purpose of the dashed line just south of the town
sidewalk is unclear. What does this line indicate? If it
is a right-of-way line for Chapel Road then the town
may need an easement in the vicinity of the curve
section of the property.
8 The proposed water line size, fittings and valving for
both domestic and fire, if applicable, should be shown
on the plan. Is there sufficient pressure and capacity
to tie-into the existing 1211 water main?
9. The proposed sanitary service should include the line
size, manhole rim elevations and inverts, the proposed
method of connection and a capacity analysis of the
existing sewer line.
10. A capacity analysis of the existing storm drain in Chapel
Road and the existing 1511 line easi`of the property
should be submitted. Will these systems be capable of
handling the additional anticipated flows from the site?
11. It should be noted that only a pipe hydraulic analysis
was submitted. A pre- and post-development runoff
analysis showing a zero net increase in flows should be
submitted.
12. The slopes of the proposed drain lines to the north of
the building are only 0.22%. A minimum slope of 0.5%
should be used to insure adequate flows.
13. The most easterly catch basin in the parking lot only
has 3/4 of a foot of cover over the pipe. The minimum
cover over all pipes should be at least (2) feet.
14. The engineer should explore the use of various catch
basin grates that could be used in the playground area.
An improper grate selection could become a safety
hazard.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen :
Please be advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission voted at its
December 8, 1987 meeting to approve the above-referenced application for a
Special Exception to Article 4. 1 . 8c of the Zoning Regulations , and Site
Plan of development as shown on Drawing No . 1 of 1 dated 8-20-87 , Comm.
No . 8636-2 prepared by Buck and Buck Engineers , subject to the following
conditions :
1 . Prior to commencement of any site work, a meeting must be held with
Town Staff .
2 . No building permits will be issued until the final plans have been
filed in the Town Clerk ' s Office.
3. This approval is subject to the conditions of approval of the Inland
Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission .
4 . An as-built plan will be required prior to issuance of a Certificate
of Occupancy per Section 4 . 13. 10 of the Zoning Regulations .
5 . Footing drains will be required if there is a basement .
6 . A landscaping bond in the amount of $20, 000 must be submitted to
this Commission .
7 . Sanitary sewer flow must be shown on Key Map .
8 . Any proposed signs or lighting must be shown on Site Plan .
Lewis B . Rome, Esq . - 2 - December 14 , 1987
9 . Chain link fence must be increased to 5 ' height .
10. Crosswalk phase on traffic light , from Chapel Hill Condominiums and
from Stebens parking area , may be required .
11 . Increase size of arborvitae to minimum 5 ' height .
12 . The proposed town sidewalk appears to encroach the property line in
the vicinity of the street intersection . If this is what the engineer
intends , then an easement should be shown in that area.
13 . The purpose of the dashed line just south of the town sidewalk is
unclear . Its purpose should be indicated . If it is a right-of-way
line for Chapel Road , then the town may need an easement in the
vicinity of the curve section of the property .
14 . The proposed sanitary service should include the line size , manhole
rim elevations and inverts , the proposed method of connection , and a
capacity analysis of the existing sewer line .
15. A capacity analysis of the existing storm drain in Chapel Road and the
existing 15" line east of the property should be submitted. Will
these systems be capable of handling the additional anticipated flows
from the site?
16 . It should be noted that only a pipe hydraulic analysis was submitted .
A pre- and post-development runoff analysis showing a zero net
increase in flows should be submitted .
17 . The slopes of the proposed drain lines to the north of the building
are only 0. 22%. A minimum slope of 0. 5% should be used to insure
adequate flows .
18 . The most easterly catch basin in the parking lot only has . 75 feet of
cover over the pipe . The minimum cover over all pipes should be at
least two ( 2) feet .
19 . The engineer should explore the use of various catch basin grates that
could be used in the playground area . An improper grate selection
could become a safety hazard .
20 . It should be clarified by the engineer , on the plan , whether the
twenty-foot drainage easement is an existing or proposed easement .
21 . Monuments shown at the P .C . and P .T. of the curve section should be
designated as either existing or proposed .
Lewis B . Rome , Esq . - 3 - December 14 , 1987
22 . A legend indicating at least the following items is needed on the
plan .
Existing Proposed
Contour x x
Spot Grade x x
Fences x x
Sewer Manhole x x
Drain Manhole x x
Sewer Line x x
Drain Line x x
Water Line x x
Edge of Bit . x x
It is very difficult to differentiate between the existing , existing
to be removed , and proposed structures on the plan .
23 . The aisle width is labeled as 24 ' wide on the plan ; however , it scales
to a distance of 22 ' wide . The engineer should clarify this on the
plan .
24 . Proposed spot grades should be shown in the vicinity of the Tot Lot so
as to insure proper grading and the avoidance of puddling in this
area .
25 . The proposed roof drainage system should be indicated on the plan .
26 . The concrete sidewalk should be designed with a positive slope away
from the building .
27 . Railroad-tie type guard rail along Ellington Road , to prevent vehicle
encroachment onto the site , must be provided . Guard rail depth must
meet the Town Engineer ' s specifications , and it must blend with the
landscaping and be low profile .
28 . Traffic advisory signs must be posted by Kinder-Care on Chapel Rd . ,
with wording and location as directed by Mel Stead , Superintendent of
Street Services .
Black and White transparent mylars of Sheet No . 1 of Plans , with the above
modifications , together with three blueprint copies of the entire set of
plans , must be submitted to this Commission to be stamped and signed . The
letters of approval of this Commission , as well as the Inland Wetlands
Agency/Conservation Commission , must be reproduced on the mylars .
Lewis B. Rome , Esq . - 4 - December 14 , 1987
After the mylars have been signed by the Commission , they will be returned
to you for filing in the Office of the Town Clerk within 90 days . After
filing these plans , a copy of the receipt must be submitted to the
Planning Department .
Very truly yours ,

Dear Mr. Bancroft:
In accordance with your letter of November 3rd, we submit the following
information:
Section 4,13,2
The plan will be stamped when the project is approved.
Section 4,13,2(b)
The addresses and telephone numbers of the surveyor and engineer are
added to the plan.
Section 4,13,2,3(e)
The 20 foot drainage easement is on existing easement according to
information furnished to us from the South Windsor Town Engineer. The
existing storm drain in this easement is a 24 diameter line. This
size was field confirmed.
Section 4,13,2,3(g)
The monuments shown are proposed.
Section 4,13,2,4(c)
There is a separate planting plan developed for this site
(enclosed).
General Comments
1. A legend is provided on the revised drawing. There are no structures
on the site except for a wooden well house and pipe which we have
called for to be removed and the well capped.
2. We have indicated N.T.S. adjacent to the aisle width dimension.
3. Additional spot grades have been added to the Tot lot area.
4. The roof drainage has been indicated in the drawing.
5. A note on sidewalk cross slope has been added to the drawing.

DATE COMM.
6. The proposed town sidewalk will encroach. We have shown the sidewalk
in its eventual position. At the appropriate time the Town will take
an easement.
7. The line south of the sidewalk is the proposed right-of-way line for
Chapel Road. It has been so labeled.
8. The water line size is shown. We have checked with the MDC and there
is sufficient capacity for this facility.
9. Sanitary sewer size has been labeled. Sufficient capacity in the 30
inch sewer line was assured by the Town Engineers Office.
10. A capacity analysis for the two catch basins in question is enclosed.
11. The pipe hydraulic analysis was submitted by direction of the then
Town Engineer. It was pointed out to us that since the site is small
and that it presently drains to a large retention basin located to
the northeast of the site, that the impact of the change in character
of the site was very small in relation to the total drainage
management situation in the area. Our first submission was for a
larger parking area and building which was submitted and approved.
12. The slopes of the drain lines have been revised.
13. The catch basin has been moved northerly to achieve the required
cover.
14. We shall look into various lawn and park gratings available for this
purpose.
If you have any questions, please call .
Sincerely yours,

RE: Kindercare Landscaping Bond Reduction
Dear Mr. Dunn:
Please be advised that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted at
their May 23, 1989 meeting to reduce the landscaping bond from
$20, 000 to $10, 000 . The reason for only a partial release was
due to a number of dead trees and missing landscaping (as shown
on the approved landscape plan) observed at the time of the
inspection.
Please send an amended copy of the bond we are holding. If you
have any questions do not hesitate to contact the Planning
Department at 644-2511 .
