F. Associates have applied to change the zone 'of an approximately 33 acre site from AA-30 Residential to Design Commercial . The pending application is the first of a number of similar zone change requests anticipated for abutting properties because, of the regional access provided by I-84 ramps to Buckland bills Road, and the existing and proposed commercial development in Manchester surrounding the I- 84 Intersection that is now expanding into South Windsor. The proximity to 1-84 and existing commercial development nakes it inevitable that this area of South Windsor will be commercially rather than residentially zoned, developed and used in the future. The town will benefit from the development of this area to ito highest and bent use. The type of commercial development proposed will provide a transition between intensive commercial development in Manchester and residential zoned land north of the site proposed for the design commercial zone. The applicant' s general plan of development provides a 100 ft. buffer area adjacent to residential zoned land north of this site. The concept of a buffer to mitigate impacts on property zoned residential immediately south and east of site is not applicable since the area is likely to be commercial developed. The residential zone south of the proposed'office building is owned by a developer with plans for commercial use on that portion of the parcel located in Manchester. There are no plans for the remaining 11.5 ft. wide residentially zoned land that will be surrounded by commercial development. Residential use of this site is not possible because steep slopes prohibit access from Buckland Hills }toad. The location of access road for the proposed development is based on the steep slope and need to consolidate curb cuts along Buckland bills Road. Access to A. F. Arsoc. property is limited to the, road proposed by Buckland Hills Development Partnership.- The proposed road further restricts access to the proposed office building site by creating additional steep slopes. It would be exceptionally difficult to develop the applicants property while maintaining a 100 Ft. buffer. along the southerly property line because of the limited buildable area allowed by steep slopes and buffer setback requirements. Reduction of buffer width to 25 ft, (the same width as applies to RO, DA-15 and MF zones) , will permit development of an office building, required parking, and access from proposed roadway that is sensitive to site and abutting development. The request to allow parking within the 100 ft. buffer is to create a sense of adequate, convenient, parking spaces for shops visible from Buckland hills Road. The 25 it. setback area proposed adjacent to Buckland Hills Road and the planting area in the parking lot will provide an attractive landscape that maintains view of some parking spaces and proposed building that creates the image needed for a viable retail development. l February 21, 1991 C E R T I F I E D M A I L Buckland Hills Development Partnership 200 Central Ave .
