Re : Evan' s Crossing
Dear Peter :
I have studied the sight distance conditions of the proposed intersec-
: ion of Evan ' s Crossing with Avery Street and have determined that the
sight distance substantially exceeds the minimum requiremen s. as recommended
,--)v Conn . DOT and the AASHO.
The Conn . DOT Field Survey Sight Distance Test require a minimum
sight time span of 8 seconds . The field survey, done betwee 4 :00 and 4 : 30
nm. on a weekday afternoon during commuting hours , resulted in a average
time span of 14 . 7 seconds ; with a minimum reading of 12 seconds ; substant-
ially more than the required minimum.

The sight distance to the north from the proposed intersection is

a vehicle speed of 80 m. p .h . ; considerably higher than would be expected .
Sight distance to tF-e south is controlled by a three-way stop at the inter-
section of Pine Knob Drive and Avery Street .
From the above , I submit that sight distance at the proposed intersec-
tion is adequate .

Dear Mr. Martell
i
The Hartford County Soil and Water Conservation District would emphasize the
following concerns regarding the proposed "Evan's Crossing Subdivisioa off of
Avery Street.
Topographic information on the plans should be field verified.
There should be no construction of any kind within the area of the
emergency spillway for the proposed dam.
i
The District would strongly suggest that lots 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 be
combined to form two lots . Due to the close proximity of embankments,
extensive grading needed, and wetland soils, a less intensive building ;
scheme for these four lots is recommended.
Proposed houses and grading for all lots should be incoropor ted into
the final plans .
Sediment and erosion control should be addressed in more detail on the
plans . 'The suggestions outlined in the accompanying Soil Conservation
Service report should be incorporated into final plans. The
Connecticut Sediment and Erosion Control Handbook can be used for
reference.
The District will be available to review revised plans, upon request. Should
you have any questions, don't hesitate to call.

RE: Evan's Crossing - Property of Evan's Crossing Associates
Avery Street, South Windsor
On November 13, 1984, a field review and subsequent plan review was made of the
proposed development "Evan's Crossing", Property of Evan's Crossing Associates
- Avery Street, South Windsor CT, dated 8/19/84 with revisions.
In attendance to the plan review were: A. Bowen Davies, Deputy Engineer, Town
of South Windsor; Richard Martell, Town Engineer, Town of South Windsor; Emil
Lucek, Lucek Engineering Associates , Inc.; Vito Covensky, owner; Vern Anderson,
Soil Conservation Service - Hartford; Amy Parker, Hartford County Soil and
Water Conservation District; J. Eric Scherer, Soil Conservation Service -
Hartford; Joe Polulech, Soil Conservation Service - Storrs ; Don Lynch, Soil
Conservation Service - Storrs.
I NZ'E NTORY
This parcel of land is approximately 16.1 acres in size. The proposal is to
subdivide this land into approximately 15 one-half acre lots, with the
remaining land to be deeded to the Town of South Windsor as open space. An
east-west road with access from Avery Street is proposed. This road will end
in a cul-de-sac with a stub extending north between lots 5 and 6. Current land
use on this parcel is woodland. The Hartford County Soil Survey, Sheet No. 27,
indicates six soil mapping units within the proposed site. These six units
include: Cheshire fine sandy loam (CsB, CsC and CsD2) ; Narragansett silt loam
(NaB2); Wapping silt loam (WeB) ; Walpole loam (WcA) . 'Under the definition for
prime farmland soils, the CsB, NaB2 and WeB mapping units are listed as prime
farmland soils in the bulletin "Important Farmlands of Hartford County,
Connecticut". Mapping units CsC and WcA are listed as soils of Statewide
Importance. Approximately 45 percent of the soils are Prime Farmland soils
while 40 percent are of Statewide Importance. Soil WcA is also classified as a
wetland soil under Inland Wetlands regulations.
The on-site investigation and a discussion with town officials shows that land
directly adjacent to Avery Street and consisting of part of lot 1 and lot 2 is
man made. This area consists of fill from previous sewer line construction
with some asphalt and other road surface material exposed. A vertical slope of
1:1 presently exists at this site as it borders the brook.

Inland Wetland Commission — South Windsor
RE: - Evan's Crossing — Avery Street 11/19/84
EVALUATION
A review of the soils located at this proposed site show some limitati ns for
development for housing. These limitations include slopes and wetness. To
overcome these limitations, houses with basements should be sited 0.5 to 1 foot
above established water tables and on stable slopes.
i
Core borings should be made of the area where sewer construction matey al was
placed. The boring should indicate the nature of material and depth.
Potential for uneven settling of this material could render it unsuitable for a
houselot. It was also indicated that this material might be used for the t
culvert crossing fill material. Again tests may show this material to be
unsuitable for such a purpose. If this material is found to be unsuitable for A
on—site use, it should be removed in order to achieve a stable slope ( :1) .
Sheet 3 of 4 indicates a wetland limit boundary. There is no indication as to
how this boundary was delineated. A review of the plan and site ind is tes that
the eastern boundary may not be accurately shown. Nevertheless, since there is i
no proposed filling or building in this area, a more detailed study may not be
warranted.
Because this proposed development borders a flood prevention project b( ing
co—sponsored by the Town of South Windsor, certain considerations will need to
be met, and are mentioned in the Recommendation Section.
RECOMMENDATION
Permanent Flood Easements be established on all IQts at the 2 1.6 foot
e This f 1 od easement would) prohibit building and f lling
within the 2 t elevation.
The developer contact the State of Connecticut Department of
Environmental Protection's Land Acquisition Unit. A check of survey
line, and topographic elevations should be made to determine the 281.6
foot elevation within the development.
The developer should square off lots 14 and 15 for flood easement
boundaries.
The developer should coordinate with Department of Environmental
Protection's Land Aquis it ion Office the designation of flood easement
and open space areas so that they do not negatively impact the
intended use of the flood pool area.
The developer should confirm the location of the proposed sewer
easement so as to remain outside the area of the proposed emergency
spillway for the flood prevention structure.
The developer should check elevations for all sewer manhole covers to
ensure that any below the 281.6 foot elevation have been flood
proofed.

RE: Evan's Crossing - Avery St 11/19/84
RECOMMENDATION (CONT'D
Core borings of the area loc a very Street, comprising lots
1 and 2, are eede This era is of a-q. estioaable nature;
consisting of ris from a line installatio Borings would
determine t e �anxtent of materials in this fill ea. If this
material is determined to be of poor quality it should be used as
fill on the site, as intended, for over the proposed culvert.
The existing 1:1 slope at the back of lots 1 and 2 should be regraded
to a more stable slope of 4:1. This type of slope is easier to
stabilize- and maintain.
Prior to construction of the storm drain between lots 13 anid 14, a
grass or rock rip rap waterway should be constructed as an outlet for
stormwater. This waterway should be constructed from the proposed
outfall to the stream channel and should be able to handle the desired
storm capacity as required by the town.
It is questionable whether the hay bale check dam at the upstream side
of the proposed culvert will be effective. Hay bale check dams have
little effect during high flows over 1 c.f.s. It is recommended that
both sides of the channel be protected by silt fences .
Hay bale check dams should be installed along all wetland limits where
earth moving and/or construction is to take place within 150 feet .
This should be done prior to construction start. Also hay bales
should be placed at the top and bottom of slope along lots 1 and 2.
Overland flow in this area is evident and severe washing could occur
otherwise.
V j
JThe existing stormwater catch basin on Avery Street is clogged. This
should be cleaned out as soon as possible.
A gravel entrance/-exit pad should be constructed at Avery Street prior
to construction at the site. This pad will help to clean wheels of
vehicular traffic of sediment as it leaves the site.
�b-Silt fences should be installed around all catch basins immediately
after pipe installation and prior road surfaceing.
A small breached dam presently exists within theT-1.
posed site. It is
s this b repaired and used as a -tempoDry ediment�asin. A
rock faced an -u er 2 inch stone�ould be designed with a per
riser to accomplish this .
In the event that e Flood Prevention/Structure No 1 is not built,
the Town of Sout� Windsor should requ,re the developer to construct a
stormwater retent-on structure on the proposed site so as to not
increase discharge. from the proposed development .

RECOMMENDATIONS (CONT'D)
A more complete erosion and sediment control plan is needed for this
site, including such considerations as temporary and permanent
seeding, mulching, minimizing areas of disturbance, etc.

RE: Evan's Crossing - Application No. 294
Dear Mr. Covensky:
At the May 20, 1985 meeting 6f the Inland Wetlands Agency Work Session,
the Agency voted unanimously to suspend temporarily your IWA Permit
(Application No. --294) because of violations of this permit resulting from
activities on the site performed beyond certain tree-cutting you were
accorded special permission to do, prior to gaining approval of the necessary
Conservation Permit.
Permission is hereby granted by the Agency for you to perform r medial
and corrective measures which must be done to the satisfaction of tovn
staff in order for possible reinstatement of your permit to be consi eyed
by the Agency.
The following conditions must be adhered to:
1. Before commencing with any activities, you will meet
with town staff to determine how, and in what progression,
remedial and corrective measures will be performed and
monitored.
2. No other kinds of activities will be permitted on the
site. The following concerns must be addressed:
a. All visible blacktop deposited on the site by
you for possible use as fill must be removed from
the site and disposed of at an agreed upon site.
This is unsuitable (recall agency discussions with
Emil and SCS letter of Eric Scherer, November 19, 1984,
page 2, paragraph 2).
Mr. Vito Covensky

Also, all blacktop pieces visible along banks cut and
sewer installation roadway itself shall be removed from
site as well as all blacktop pieces unearthed when
performing any corrective and remedial measures.
b. Carefully unclog and clean up brook channel onsite;
remove all rubbish, and correct all construction damage
caused by equipment. Natural debris (logs, tree limbs,
branches, etc.) should also be removed. Such clean-up
activity will concentrate on the brook bed and its slopes
from the 54" culvert to the area of the earthen dam (Lot
15).
Please note that the earthen dam and the sedimentation
pool are not addressed on your revised plans as requested
at our Conservation meeting, March 18, 1984.
c. The sanitary sewer has been cleared and a roadway
built for the installation. The slope protection has
only been partially done; not as indicated on the
drawings. Please correct this situation to prevent
damage to the site.
d. The concrete pad is not per plan. Please correct
this situation.
e. The riprap is not per plan in the 54" culvert a ea.
Please correct this situation carefully.
f. The hay bales are not staked at the critical points.
Please correct this situation.
g. The temporary PVC to be installed at the brookcrossing
for the sewer construction is not in place. They just
drive through the brook. Taking the utmost care, p ease
correct this situation.
h. The drawings should have a current revision date.
The contractor was given one of the three sets submitted
on 4-15-85, as a guide. Apparently, no one out there
has seen them or have followed them. Please take care
of this and take whatever steps necessary to instruct

your crew as to the contents of your plans for compliance
thereto, and to forestall any further difficulties.
i. Other related problems on the site arising from an
corrective and remedial measures performed should be
addressed as per agreement with town staff.
No other activities on the site will be allowed pending:
1. Our Agency's review of an engineering report which shall
be submitted to us after you have completed all corrective
and remedial measures on the site, and
2. Unless and until the Inland Wetlands Agency formally votes
to reinstate your permit based upon demonstrated cooperate n,
competence and good faith by the applicant in accomplishing
all necessary corrective and remedial measures on the site
and
3. Unless and until your revised conservation plan is
subsequently approved by formal vote of the Conservation
Commission.
We realize that our actions on this matter might appear to be harsh
at first glance, but, under the circumstances, were deemed necessary by
the Agency in order to assist the applicant in achieving compliance with
the plans on file and Agency permit conditions. Your cooperation is
appreciated. We anticipate an early resolution.

RE: Evan's Crossing - Application No. 294
Dear Mr. Moran:
We have been doing the remedial work necessary to clean up Evan s
Crossing since the Commission gave us approval to do so.
We have been checking with town staff (Bo Davies) on a daily basi
to see that everything we're doing meets with staff and Commission
approval. We do not want to be in jeopardy again because of some
confusion or lack of understanding on our part.
I was born and raised in this town and certainly don't want to see
anyone pointing a finger at me and saying I'm trying to destroy or
harm it in any way. I'm going to be doing more developing in tow ,
and I certainly would like the confidence of all the Commission an
town staff that we have to deal with.
At this point, I would like to ask you and the Commission if it would
be possible to reinstate our Wetlands approval, and to grant us
Conservation Commission approval at your meeting of June 10, 1985, so
that we would not lose any more good construction time weather and
be able to turn this project into one the whole town would be proud of.

Subject : Lot 7, Evan ' s Crossing
Dear Mr. Martel
This is to follow up on Mr. Upenieks letter of August 7.
We would like to point out some discrepancies on that
letter :
The final grading was done after the closing date,
around early April , whereas the closing was on January 24.
We met with Mr. Limberger on or about August 13 , who
recommended what appeared to be a sastifactory solution,
however Mr. Limberger and Mr. Upenieks are now vacilat ' ng.
The house was set too low which combined with the f nal
grading caused the water to run from lot 8 resulting i
substantial water accumulation.
We wish to reiterate our position, which we have conve ed
to Mr. Upenieks on numerous occasions , we wish this
problem corrected while maintaining the backyard
functional . Furthermore , since it has been some time w
wish to have it corrected as soon as possible.

Dear Mrs. Evans: planning & Zoni g CommiSSioA
In speaking to several individuals in both the Planning and Zoning 5nd
Engineering DZ!!tn
suggested we write to you regarding the
"acceptance" g.
In our opinion , the following items should be rectified before Evan
Crossing is accepted by the Town of South Windsor , and any bonds released.
1 . Raking and Seeding of disturbed areas.
Although, the builder provides seeding for the 20-30 feet Burro nding
the house , we believe that all disturbed areas be seeded so as LO
prevent erosion and pollution to Evans Brook and the surrounding
wetlands area. Based on the time of year, we suggest that this be
completed in the spring of 1967.
2. That large dead branches of trees located in disturbed areas ha a said
branches removed.
As you are probably aware , Evans Crossing is graced with many g eat
white oak trees which range from 50 to 75 feet tall . Many of t ese
have large , dead branches on them which could cause serious ink ry to
someone when they fall . It is our common understanding that tie Town
of South Windsor mandated that this area would keep as many tre s as
possible while developing this area for ecological and aestheti
reasons. We ask, that all dead branches for those trees in dist abed
( lawn ) areas be removed.
3. That stumps and similar debris left by both Coven and U & R be removed
from back yards , the road cut area , and town property behind the homes
(not including lots 13 and 9 ).
4. That both drains on the road cut be corrected 59 as to prevent water
build-up around it . We believe this will involve an elevation change
for the drain, and/or road and curbing areas around them.
l
l 1''�
Mrs. Louise Evans
November 17, 1986
Page
5. That the circle within the cul-de-sac be corrected so as to improve
the appearance of the area.
Although the road and sidewalk: widths may meet specifications , the
grass area between the sidewalk and road ranges between 1 and S feet
in width around the cul-de-sac. This is an eye-sore. In comp eting
this task , we feel it only fair that if driveway aprons are affected
that they be replaced in total so as to prevent a patching affect .
6. That any and all trees in disturbed areas which do not bear leaves in
the spring of 1987 be removed in total by U & R. As most of t e
neighborh000d will attest , U & R was not very careful in the
landscaping around the homes. Most of the home owners were re aired
to dig out trees because the nubs were buried too deep.
7. That all of the above items be specifically accepted and adopted by
the appropriate town officials to become, part of the building code so
as to protect future homeowners in the go-eat town of South Win sor.
In addition to the above , we feel that the following two items sho ld be
completed. They include: a ) put down the final layer of asphalt cn the
road and b ) complete the property surveys.
We the undersigned, and residents of Evans Crossing strongly urge ou to
refuse acceptance of Evans Crossing and maintain possession of all bonds
pertaining thereto until the aforementioned issues are mitigated.
Although time did not allow for review of this document by all home owners
in Evans Crossing , those reviewing and agreeing to the above are LISTED AS
FOLLOWS IN LOT NUMBER ORDER.

Re: Evan 's Crossing - Lot # 7
Dear Mrs. Evans:
Following on the Committee meeting of May 191 'e are submiting a noti e
of the problems we have encountered, which will be agravated if the
development of the land located on the north side of Evan 's Crossing is
approved. Furthermore, we understand and agree that there are other
arguments against the development of this land, however this letter i
to formally put the town on notice, of a specific problem.
Lot # 8 and the parcel currently being considered for development,
P ,
drain into lot # 7. It took a sub surface drain and considerable
landscapping, to partially correct this problem. If the development f
said parcel is allowed it will agravate this problem.
Therefore, if the proposed development is approved the town should to e
the necessary steps to ensure that water does not drain into the lots
on Evan 's Crossing, by maitainning a considerable buffer of undeveloped
land between the new development and Evan 's Crossing and by diverting
the drainage away from said lots.
As a result of the several problems we had, we feel that the town
engineers should exercise greater control drrin the development and
construction period to ensure that problems suc as ours are not
repeated. The drainage into our lot was partia ly caused, and
certainly aggravated - in particular the draina a from lot # 8 - by the
foundation being laid lower than the natural co tour of the land.
In addition, in unrelated matters, but which are also being reviewed ty
your Committee, we have four dead trees on the �ront lawn and six dea
trees on the back lawn. These dead trees are a direct result of a
total disregard by the builder and the lot allo ance should be used t
remove and replace these trees. Also the lot b3undaries should be
properly marked.
_ z _
Other matters that should be finalized worthy Of your consideration are
the final surfacing of the street and the proper allignment of the
sidewalks around th - e-sac.
Thank you for y ur assistance in these matters.'

RE: Evan's Crossing
Dear Mike:
This letter will confirm a meeting at Evan's Crossing on 8/4/88.
Present were Les Braddock, myself, Mike Covensky, and Ed Dailey,
our laborer.
While we were there, we discussed the sewer right of way erosion
in the rear of Joe VassalLo's property, and regrading, topsoiling and
seeding, also the slope and the accessability of maintenance vehicles
were discussed and agreed upon. Then we flushed our sewer line for
approximately 1/2 hour from the hydrant on Evan's Crossing and
checked the manholes along the right of way and found no obstructio s
or blockages. We also mirrored the lines, but saw no problems.
This letter is in respect to getting Evan's Crossing accepted by the
Town of South Windsor and getting our bonds released or reduced to
a maintenance bond.
If there are any questions, please call me.
Yours truly,
eCovensky

RE: Evan's Crossing "
Dear Mr. Covensky:
Your request for consideration of acceptance and rellease or
reduction of bonds is premature at this ,time.
As a consequence of activities in (conservation ease mant areas
on some house lots this spring by homeowners, discrepancies in
boundaries became evident between the filed subdivision maps and
plans and amended individual building ' lot plans requirel by the
IWA/CC for brook channel re-location necessitated by inaccuracies
on the approved subdivision maps and plans.
Since the conservation easements granted to the town as well
as flood/drainage rights granted to the State of Connecticut via
the Department of Environmental Protection appear to be at issue in
these areas of discrepancy, the IWA/CC cannot at t is time
entertain your request.
Once this apparent dilemna is reviewed by the Town and the
State, and all concerned parties are satisfied that these apparent
discrepancies are resolved or rectified, your request may be re-
activated.
Your cooperation in resolving this matter is respectfully
requested.
Sincerely,
