This use would be limited to certain roads in Town- Routes A. 194, 74 or Buckland Road. The Commission may want to consider allowing this use on other collector roads in town. 2. Currently, road side farm stand are allowed in residential zones as an accessory use to an existing farm. Among other criteria, the stand must be of a temporary and removable nature and is allowed only for 120 days a year. It allows only for the sale of products grown on the farm. 3. This amendment would allow for farm stands to be set up on a permanent basis and in the definition of the farm stand it states that a farm stand will be a retail outlet for the sale of seasonal products usually associated with a farm store with the allowance of 10% items for incidental items. 4. Items such as outdoor storage and design of the site (architecture and landscaping) will be subject to the normal site plan procedures (the exception being the requirement for A-2 survey). 5. Signage for these uses will be subject to the sign allowance of the underlying zone. 6. If this application is approved, the planning department would suggest some rewording for item #5: "No more than one vehicular access point (i.e. curb cut) shall be allowed along the street frontage, however, farm stands on corner lots may be permitted one vehicular access point, and must conform with the access management principles of the underlying zone. lx� c 2 A o . �f- MAY 2 3 1997 _ .T 7n.r•r.. _ LEGAL NOTICE TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE JOURNAL INQUIRER MONDAY, MAY 26, 1997 SOUTH WINDSOR - PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION At its May 20, 1997 Regular Meeting, the Commission voted to take the following actions: 1.
