FRENCH SOCIAL CLUB BUILDING ASSOCIATION, INC.
9 JOHN STREET
EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108
January 13, 1994
The French Social Club Building Association,Inc. has recently agreed to
purchase 26.8 acres of land on Governors Highway from Shawmut Bank (GTT Corp
as Trustee for Onyx Properties. Realty Trust) . At the northwest corner of the
tract,i.e. , in the area farthest away from residential areas, the Association
proposes to construct a 14,000 sq. ft. social club on a 4.0 acre lot. The fac-
ility will consist of member and reception halls, kitchen, federal credit union,
parking lot, and associated elements. The French Social Circle Club,Inc. will
then operate the facility. The Club holds a liquor license, and will transfer
it to this location. At present the Club has 275 members. As with their prior
location, the Association will pay property taxes to the Town, and as such will
add to the Town of South Windsor's taxable grand list. The Association has
selected JMJ Construction Company,Inc. of South Windsor to construct the building,
which will be fully sprinklered. The entire tract is in the industrial zone,
and public water and sewer services are available in Governors Highway.
The Association requests variances to Section 6.1.2 in order to allow the
uses described herein, and to Section 3.12.1 to allow sale and/or consumption
of alcoholic beverages on the premises. Rationale or hardships include:
1) Social clubs are not expressly provided for anywhere in the regulations;
2) This facility will add jobs and commercial real estate and personal property
taxes, not unlike an industrial use;3This large building will have the appearance
of an attractive building in a quality industrial park, and will complement the other
fine buildings in this area, e.g. , Ryan Business Systems and the new headquarters
of Discount Trophy,Inc. ; 4) The site will be buffered from residential uses by
industrial uses and their required buffers;5)The site is far from residential;
6) The Association has been searching for a club location for the past five
years, and has been without a facility for quite some time; 7) A majority of
Club members are from South Windsor and East Hartford; 8) This is an appropriate
site for a social club with a liquor license due to its distance from residential
uses and the existence of a surrounding industrial zone; 9) The closest site to
the east is now owned by Temple Beth Hillel, and the granting of these variances
will have no adverse impact on their future plans to build a new house of worship;
10) This facility will allow more receptions to be held in South Windsor rather
than out of town; 11) The new French Club, in its impressive new building, will
be an attractive addition to the South Windsor community.
