On January 26, 1989 a site plan review of the above referenced proposal was made.

Also reviewed were a soils report from Soil Science Services (dated 12/4/86) and a hydrology report by Fuss & O'Neill (dated 9-20-88 and 12-13-88) . The following information is offered for consideration: - Approximately •584 of the site is C^nsidered regulated (inland wetland) area under state statute. ur this, over (7) acres wells3irect_�y impacted thrQ f. The remaining wetlands will receive indirect impact from the proposed development. Aerial photos show that this wetland system is part of a larger more extensive system. Land use changes within this system will consequently impact downstream wetlands. - The site plans submitted do not include a detailed inventory of existing conditions nor does it detail or analyze current wetland functions. There appears to be no attempt at mitigation for wetland functions except for the creation of stormwater management devices. - It is apparent that the plans have been developed and are sensitive to planning and zoning requirements but they do not appear to address the • natural resource concerns in total. It does appea - that Rrudent wd feasible alternative to the proposed=laye# exst�3t._thi� site and that these should be explored before the Inland wetland Agency if not done already.

The plans do not address major(-Water oualit-v issues relative to storm runoff. The direct discharge in-to-t-ie watercourse system of parking lot runoff is inappropriate. -- The Soil Erosion and Sediment Control Plan is not definitive enough in description of what will happen and when. The option to install sediment barriers does not reflect specifications in the CT "Guidelines for Soil Erosion and Sedimentation Control". There is a need for additional control measures including traffic barriers along public rights-of-way. A more detailed phasing sequence is needed as well as a construction check list (see enclosed) . The proposed crossing downstream of the existing pond is questionable as to it's purpose and need for disturbing this wetland area. enclosure c � s 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE SOUTH WINDSOR.

Revised 5-17-89 Sheets 1 through 10 of 10 I have reviewed the above mentioned proposed development plans and offer the following comments for your consideration: - In general, the plans as presented have not changed substantially from the plans previously denied. Impact to the wetlands has been reduced somewhat by the reduction in parking area and the relocation of buildings, however, there is still much activity in the wetlands. - The proposed pond is being presented as a wetland creation area. This area is already a wetland area. The proposal does not create a wetland but rather substitutes an open water wetland habitat for a field wetland habitat. There is an existing open water habitat on the property. Unless the commission determines that more open water habitat is needed, it is recommended to leave the field wetland as is. usnA-Soil Conservation Service and District do not recommend placing detention ponds in wetlands. - The road crossing and parking lots proposed for the northern section of the development will leave the most direct impact on the wetlands. The design seems to be sensitive-to-planning and zoning considerations but not inland wetlands. The state legislature clearly indicated that wetlands considerations are important by mandating that land use applications be reviewed by inland wetlands agencies prior to planning and zoning agencies. The District encourages cooperation between the two agencies to achieve sound land use planning. It also recognized that inland wetland considerations should not always give way to planning and zoning needs.

INLAND WETLANDS AGENCY1 Marcia Banach, 'town Planner CONSERVATIO[j COMMISS10ti Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, Cr 06074 Dear Ms. Banach, On September 25, 1989 I met with John Mr-Cahill, z:)ning Enforcement Officer and you at the town hall and we made an on site visit to "Clar Corners" proposed development property• At that time, we discussed reports rcn MY office and your correspondence to me, dated September 18, 1989 voicing your concerns with my report dated September 7, 1989. This letter addresses those concerns. Your first concern involves the nature of the site ands questions whether an cn-site visit was made. An on-site visit was madeAugust Because of our involvement with many agricultural operations in the area throughout the years, wee are very familiar with �I reca��ed leaving s and neny other agricultural lands inSou As Windsor. during re our meeting, farmland that the field wetland as is. s has been cultivated or as in this case, Hawed for hay has not been altered hydrologically. As evidenced by todays forests in Connecticut, farmland if left alone will quickly enter into a succession frcan pasture to field to forest. The drainage swale has been modified that are the original drainage pattern of the area. Drainage ;molesiginal drainage that patterns. These farming maintained often revert back � altered the wetla�.�d system and therefore activities have not �-Y do not lessen the potential wetland value of the area. The plan proposed to replace the existing wetland system with a detention pond. On the plans this was referred to as a wetland creation area. As I discussed, this is not a wetland. creation area. A wetland io y DEP and US Army Corp of exists. Wetlands regulatory agencies including wetland areas. The Engineers do not recommend plac�etmtion ponds in District and Soil Conservation Service also take that position. As you point out, wetland functions include flood storage and pollution attenuuation. Since the wetland is already serving these functions why replace it with an artificial system? A detention pond may increase flood storage but because it is an open water habitat it will not support the level of wetland vegetation associated with pollution attenuation. Other wetland values that are not easily understood including the hydrology and micro-biotic functions will be disturbed and cannot be easily replicated. If more flood storage is needed, a detention pond placed in upland soils adjacent to the wetland area would be =re appropriate. At a conference I recently attended, Dr. Robert Kortmann, consulting ecologist, gave a presentation on stornuater management and water quality and supported this position. The second concern raised in your correspondence is in regards to caments about planning and zoning considerations versus inland wetland • considerations. I apologize if I indicated that your departuent did not encourage cooperation between the agencies. My cccanents center around recent legislative changes that requires inland wetlands and watercourse agencies to address their responsibilities first and foremost and it is with their decision that planning and zonir4 regulations will be addressed. However, it is my experience that because planning and zoning agencies have been in existence longer than inland wetlands agencies, it is difficult for many inland wetlands catmi..ssicns to assert themselves even though they now legally have the right to do so. I am very involved in training i ng inland wetland commissioners and in this case I was informing the ccmnission of its responsibilities and jurisdiction under Connecticut Inland Wetlands law. My letter also encouraged interagency cooperation. As we discussed, this is an area where it is appropriate for staff to discuss the issues with the agencies and uric out appropriate ca pranises for land use. This is the second review performed by our agency on the property. Generally, the layout and size of the proposal did not change substantially and this is what I addressed in my report. As we discussed in the field, if there are specific items on the proposal that you would like us to comment on, please let me know. I understand the challenge town planning staff faces trying to coordinate sound land use planning within a town. As we discussed, I would be more than happy to meet with your inland wetlands ccnmission to discuss the role our agency plays in assisting with this effort.

CONN. 06074 ~pSUR,C��� AREA CODE 203/644-2511 September 18, 1989 Ms. Denise Conkling, District Manager Hartford County Soil and Water Conservation District 627 River Street Windsor, CT 06095 Dear Ms . Conkling: I am in receipt of a site plan review addressed to John McCahill, from you, dated September 71 1989; regarding "Clark Corners" proposed d velopment. I have serious concerns about the comments which you provided, with regard to both content and form of presentation. My first concern involves the nature of the property. Was an on. site visit part of this review? The site is primarily cultivated; your recommendation to "leave the field wetland as is" appears to suggest that the site's cultivation was not considered. I am also curious regarding the rationale behind USDA-SCS's recommendation that detention ponds should not be placed in wetlands, as it is my understanding that two of wetlands natural functions include flood storage and pollutant filtration (within reason) . My!� second concern relates to your comments regarding Planning and Zoning considerations . We are certainly well aware that inland wetlands considerations should not "always give way to planning and zoning needs"--so much so that I have not previously seen a single request from either our Planning and Zoning Commission or our Planning Department staff to the Inland Wetlands Agency to do as you seem to suggest is routihely done. Clearly, the state legislatur indicated that wetlands considerations are important--however, so are issues of public safety. The State Statutes indicate that, "a• p rmit shall not be issued unless. . .a feasible and prudent alternative does not exist" . In this particular situation, the alternative to the proposed road crossing of the wetlands involves rerouting vehicular traffic back out into an intersection which is Beverly congested and has the highest accident rate in South Windsor. These vehicles logically should not have to -entsxth s.`highly congested intersection area to move among adjacent shopping areas. Vehicles which are idling in stopped traffic also will contribute more pollutants to th wetlands then will vehicles which can move quickly out of the ar a. It is for these public safety and environmental reasons that we are attempting to do exactly as you suggested in your review--encourage cooperation between the two agencies (Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission and Planning & Zoning Commission) to achieve sound land use planning. A review such as yours makes it much more difficult to achieve a sensitive, sensible balanc between natural resource conc rns and land use d velopment.

I trust that future reviews will continue to reflect the level of professionalism which we have come to associate with the Soil Conservation Service reviews .

The Commission is currently attempting to resolve pending litigation on this application. The changes have been highlighted on the photocopies and include: 1) the relocation of a building and some of the parking areas that were in the vicinity of the southwesterly wetlands and 2) the use of a precast concrete arch bridge over the swale instead of the proposed pipe and fill in the northerly wetlands. The Commission has requested that these changes and a copy of the plans be forwarded to your office for review and comment by the Soil Conservation Service. The file on this application is quite extensive and several of the r ports and support documents were sent to your. office for the original review.

The following comments are offered for your consideration. The District often recommends the use of pre-cast bridges for crossing watercourses. They greatly reduce impact to the watercourse because they are not as restrictive of flow and allow for better wildlife movement along the stream when compared to a piped culvert. Because the watercourse in question has wetlands associated with it, the footings of the bridge will be in wetland soils and will have some impact on the wetlands. If the crossing is allowed, however, the bridge is recommended over the piped culvert to maintain the integrity of the watercourse. In general the other changes to the plan which involved moving several building and parking locations does not substantially change the plans. Previous comments on this plan, from this office, should be reviewed. If you have need for further technical assistance on this plan please contact me at the District office.

Lombardi, Chairman, Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission FROM: John E. McCahill, Zoning/Wetlands Enforcement Officer �.� • RE: Application #90-80P, Clark Corners (John Samsel, Jr. ) DOCUMENTS REVIEW D: ZM Application form and plans titled "Clark Corners" dated 12/14/90. C OMMEN F - Mr IiVA 2w��co o-F s,4e , i,c l.,d t a r. �..1� e l rw►r , 9 On December 14, 1990 Kirby Holcombe and John Samsel, Jr. C� each submitted applications. Kirby Holcombe was applying for the activity easterly of the swale and John Samsel, Jr. was applying for the activity westerly of the swale. As the property is still legally one piece; and the drainage improvements, "wetlands creation" , calculation of impacts and like are addressed based on the total 15.29 acres, it was decided that this should be submitted as one application. Kirby Holcombe withdrew his application on December 18, 1990. 2. There have been previous proposals for this site which were denied by the Agency. The most recent application was #89- 50P, Clark Corners which was denied on October 30, 1989 and is currently pending litigation. A copy of the Agency's denial and concerns is attached. As part of the presentation the applicant should identify the changes made to the plans with regard to those concerns. gam' Previous applications were scheduled for a public hearing. It would seem that this should also be scheduled for a public hearing and, at such time, the applicant should ensure that the "prudent and feasible alternatives" issue is addressed. )(00, The previous application (#89-50P) represented 2.83 acres of wetland/watercourse alteration. This application represents 2.59 acres of wetland/watercourse alteration. This includes approximately 2,800 yards of fill material. The reduction in wetland/watercourse alteration is a result of eliminating the crossing of the swale. s.' James A. Lombardi Page Two December 20, 1990 Application #90-80P )< Sheet 5 of 10 has a summary table which indicates the wetland impacts in terms of acreage. Of the total 15.29 acres included on this site, 8.8 acres is designated as wetland. The total wetland disturbance is 2.59 acres, the total fill area is 2.04 acres with the remaining .55 acre being reworked for the proposed pond. 6 . The proposed pond, which also appears to function as a detention basin, is identified as a "wetland creation" . This is more appropriately a wetland enhancement as it is already a wetland by soil type. The landscaping plan includes various zones for water plants which are to be part of the final product. Wetland creation is a relatively new concept and additional groundwater and drainage information is necessary for an accurate � evaluation. There should be a professional representative, e, 2� [who has expertise in wetland creation, available during the construction process. (oIa OAS) �- 7 . h There were several documents that have been part of past applications which should be submitted with this Sao ew i z application (i.e. , statement of purpose, drainages d�•.• 'calculations, soil report, vegetative and wildlife information (including Natural Diversity Data Baserreport) and alternatives considered. d••t A detail for the discharge point "biofilter typicals" , as shown on sheet 5 of 10, is included on sheet 7 of 10 . On sheet 4 of 10, the asterisk indicating the biofilters should be replaced with a more accurate representation (like that shown on sheet 5 of 10) . V 4eCJ#4X It may be necessary to provide backup erosion and sedimentation checkdams downstream of the project. This could be done via placement of staked haybales in the n, ' stream no of Ellington Road. Permission to j2lace checkdams downstream would have to be gai_ne_d_from the owner o at property. A note shou be added to the plan Gt� Estating that this will be done if necessary. 1 Fabric siltation fences are recommended, instead of P.OR haybales, in those areas where they will be in place for „, t� any extended period of time. Mr. James Lombardi Page Three December 20, 1990 Application #90-80P 1 The phasing of the project, as shown on sheet 5 of 10, should more accurately reflect the dividing of the development easterly and westerly of the swale. The biofilters should be installed as part of phase I with the nddeJ installation of the drainage structures. The phasing limits, once clarified, should be physically established on the site during construction. Nv 2. GjQ)watercourse Spot elevations should be provided for the existing as well as any proposed grades that may be necessary to ensure proper drainage. . e An anti-tracking apron should be shown on sheet 5 of 10 for f- the entrance/exit off Ellington Road. V"✓AAL The application form doesn't indicate that abutters have been notified by certified mail. This should be done and proof of notification, as well as a sample copy of the letter, should be submitted. io With the proposed roadway off Ellington Road they should &A consider relocating the "organic material stockpile for ?1W wetland creation" to a more appropriate location. 6 . The application form indicates "clean free draining sl+.w� �•� w• «� material per DOT f orm #814" . The f ill used should conf orm r.4'►o C"r*C41 y to clean fill per section 2.1t of the Regulations. This definition, and a note, should be included on the plans. dam • d� It would appear that a dumpster is proposed easterly of th swale. This should be labeled as such. 18 e� �"`�` A detail should be provided for the ro osed foot bridge. ---' tom' P p �� , - V00, Z0/s�„�S The cover sheet indicates 28.7% impervious coverage. It would seem that this has been reduced slightly and the figure should be adjusted if appropriate. n 20 '�,��l•r►�1 A plan should be submitted for the long term maintenance of G"�'•I aA the proposed 4 .86 acres of open space. t I- dvokc Note #1 of the construction schedule ,on sheet 7 of 10, should be modified to reflect new proposed commencement dates . 10 Mr. James Lombardi Page 4 December 20, 1990 Application #90-80P 22 . The Agency was once shown a plan which represented the elimination of building "H" . The square footage was added between buildings "C" and "G" , with a small portion also being added to building "D" . This should be considered as :�t slightly reduces the wetland impacts in that area. 23 . These comments should be addressed before final action or decision by the Agency.

The proposed development involves land which was a part of application #89-54P, Clark Corners. That application was denied by the Commission on October 30, 1989 and is currently in litigation.

RITTENBAND, TOWN ATTORNEY RE: APPLICATION #90-80P, CLARK CORNERS AND PENDING LITIGATION In response to your Memorandum of January 16 , 1991 concerning the above , it is my opinion that you can hear and act upon application #90-80P, Clark Corners, notwithstanding the fact that application #89-54P, Clark Corners, was denied and is currently in litigation. This is true in particular because the applications are separate and distinct . However, even if it concerned the same premises totally that is involved in application 89-54P, you could still hear and act upon it as a settlement of pending litigation. We have already had one meeting to consider possible changes in application 89-54P even though it was the subject and is the subject of pending liti- gation. I would have the applicant sign the statement that was signed before we had that previous settlement meeting, namely, a statement to the effect that anything stated by the members of the Agency at the hearing should not be taken as a commitment in regard to application #89-54P which is the subject of pending litigation. In sum, you are free to proceed to hear and act upon applica- tion #90-80P regardless of the fact that there is pending litiga- tion concerning application #89-54P.

John Samsel, Jr. Dear John, Although I would like to see our town keep the rural atomsphere that prompted me to move my family here, I do realize that time does bring about constant change. I have seen some proposals for developing the parcel that you call Clark Corners and was more than a little astonished at the total disregard their obvious detrimental impact on our town. I came away from your presentation last night feeling that at last someone wants more than a fast profit, regardless of what effect it may have on the neighborhood. I'm convinced that the town will have to go far to equal your proposal. Just as improtant, when I look at what you have just a short way further down Deming Street, I have no reason to doubt that Clark Corners will continue to be an asset to this neighborhood for many years. Thank you again for allowing me to attend your presentation and Good luck. Sinc,er y, c Le J. Cote FEB 5 1991 South Windsor INLAND WETLANDS AGENCY/ CONSERVATION COMMISSION February 1, 1991 Chairman and Members Inland Wetlands and Conservation Commission Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, Connecticut 06074 Dear Chairman and Members, I am the property owner of the property on 859 Clark Street immediately across the street from the land owned by John Samsel, Jr. and his partners. I believe an application is pending before your commission on what is to be Clark Corners. Recently, everyone in authority in the Town of South Windsor has considered Wapping Center to be the commercial center of South Windsor. The master plan adopted by the town and reaffirmed repeatedly shows that site as being considered ideally suited for commercial use. I agree 100% that the property should be developed on that basis. I can conceive of no reason in the world why there will be any problem so long as commercial water and sewer are available for its development. I farmed that land for years, the water drains naturally, and reasonable safeguards for the elimnination of excess water should not prohibit the development of that land. About the year 1946, my brother and I, blasted the present man-made swale to better drain what was then a swamp near Clark Street. Again, with the approval of the State Soil Conservation Service, about 1976, I established a pond and improved the drainage swale to Ellington Road with a drag line. Thus, the man-made pond and swale. The wetlands map adopted by the Town of South Windsor was not truly a wetlands map. A large percentage of that soil conservation map covered an area that was not truly wetlands. Everyone who bought property surrounding that tract, was well aware of the fact that they had bought adjacent to future commercial use. They should have no complaints with its development. The additional revenue to the Town of South Windsor in the form of additional taxes, services to be provided, and the M FEB 1991 South Windsor INLAND WETLANDS AGENCY► CONSERVA-noN QoWA1SS10I+1 -2- use of the land according to its maximum capabilities, would be in the best interest of the town and its taxpayers. Unreasonable restrictions, and denial of reasonable plans based upon professional advice, makes me wonder what is happening. I am in favor of and strongly urge you to approve the plans submitted.

As both a resident and businessowner here in South Windsor, I share the community concern on growth and the quality of life in the town.

Warren, Chairman Inland Wetlands Agency/Conservation Commission Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Ave. South Windsor, Conn. 06074 Re: Request for meeting to discuss part of Clark Corners Project. Dear Mrs. Warren, This letter is a request to meet with the Inland Wetland Agency/Conservation Commission on April 8, 1991 to discuss some minor changes to the site plan for a portion of the Clark Corners Project. I am interested in developing the Northeast section of this site. The changes to the site are necessary to improve traffic flow and parking. Any additional encroachment on the wetland areas should be minimal. I reviewed the changes with John McCahill and he recommended discussing them with the Commission. We are planning to submit to Planning and Zoning shortly and would appreciate the opportunity to discuss our site plan with the Commission. Ver trg ours it combe I , k .9 .

Windsor, CT 06074 s RE: New Site Plan - East Side of Clark Corners Dear John: I am writing per your request to outline for you the changes to the above referenced plan as they affect the concerns of the wetlands commission. As you are now aware, Kirby Holcombe is developing the portion of the Clark Corners parcel roughly east of the north south swale. This parcel as proposed consists of 3.97 acres out of the total 15.29 acres that comprise Clark Corners. Of this 3.97 acres, your original design approved for Samsel called for total impervious coverage of 41.2 percent of which 32. 5 percent was pavement and sidewalks and 8.7 percent was building coverage. Under Kirby Holcombe's proposal, the total coverage increases minutely to 41.4 percent of which 33.3 percent is pavement of sidewalks and 8.1 percent is building coverage. Under Samsel's approved plans, .78 acres of wetlands in this area would be covered by impervious surfaces, including buildings. Under Kirby Holcombe's proposal, the impervious coverage of wetlands would be approximately .86 acres. In all cases, the layout for Kirby's plan allows for disturbance no closer to the swale, wetlands enhancement area or pond than the currently approved plan. The concept for the site remains the same. Landscaping remains virtually unchanged. I hope this addresses your concerns in this matter, if you have any questions or require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours truly, Christopher O. Stone, P.E.

If you plan to extend your project beyond the above expiration date, you must apply for an extension at least sixty-five ( 65 ) days prior to the expiration date. There will be a thirty-five dollar ( $35 ) fee required for an extension of the permit. This includes a ten dollar ( $10 . 00 ) surcharge assessed by the State, to fund the State Environmental Review Team. An application for an extension shall be made in accordance with the following subsection of the IWA/CC Regulations: a . The duration of any amendment or extension shall be for three years unless otherwise specified in the permit. b. The application may incorporate by reference the documentation and record of the original application. C . The application shall state the reason why the authorized activities were not initiated or completed within the time specified in the permit. d. The application shall describe any changes in facts or circumstances involved with or affecting wetlands or watercourses or the property for which the permit was issued. e. In unusual situations the Agency may accept an untimely application to extend the expiration date of a permit if the authorized activity is ongoing and allow the continuation of work beyond the expiration date if in its judgement, the permit is likely to be extended and the public interest or environment will be best served by not interrupting the activity; the application shall describe the extent of work completed at the time of filing and the schedule for completing the activities authorized in the permit. John G. Samsel - 2 - October 28 , 1994 Application #90-80P f . The Agency shall evaluate the application pursuant to these regulations and grant the application as filed, grant it with any terms or limitations, or deny it; and shall state upon the record the reason(s ) for its decision. In the event that you are requesting an extension, section 8 . 1 . 6 of the Zoning Regulations establishes the process for monitoring the approved conservation plan. Per that regulation, a progress report is required from the applicant' s engineer verifying that erosion and sedimentation control measures have been installed and maintained in accordance with the approved conservation plan. This verification report shall also be submitted 65 days prior to the expiration date of the permit to allow time for the Commissioners to evaluate your project controls . If work has been finished or will be finished by the expiration date, please send a letter stating work is completed according to the approved plan. If you have any questions call me or John E.

The bank took title to the property on April 7, 1993, from the previous owner/developers, John G. Samsel and the Melvyn B. Marks Estate. Mechanics Bank requests a three year extension of the Inland Wetland approvals of application #90-80P, dated March 11, 1991. The requested extension will not alter the approvals in any way, with all original and standard conditions remaining unchanged. As Mechanics Bank is not a developer, our goal is to market and sell the property with all approvals in place. The bank is actively marketing the property but due to the sluggish economy, has been unable to consummate a sale to date. We are not requesting any changes to the existing approvals. The bank is looking to maintain the existing approvals in order to better market the property. Please feel free to contact me with any comments or question at 293-4015. We look forward to your favorable consideration on this matter.
