Dear Michele,
As you are already aware,we went before the zoning board on Tuesday,October 28, 1997 to request town approval
for a 5 year major home occupation,for a tool sharpening business named Ace Cutter. The board tabled a decision
for Tuesday,November 18 at 7:30pm pending a noise measurement reading as a result of the concerns of our
neighbors. Due to the neighbors concerns we would like to change our request from a 5 year to a 1 year major
home occupation to ensure that there is no negative impact to our neighborhood.
As proposed to the zoning board on October 28,Ace Cutter will meet all the criteria outlined for a major home
occupation as follows:
- It will be the only home occupation at 488 Strong Road.
- It will be a secondary use of our home,conducting business only part-time evenings and weekends no later than
8:OOpm in the evening and no more than 20 hours per week.
- There will be no additional employees other than the owner/occupants of the business.
- We request the business be located in one third of our attached garage approximately 260 square feet,leaving
storage for not only one but 2 additional vehicles.
- The business will ultimately consist of three machines 3x3x4 feet tall.
- We guarantee to residents the noise generated from the machines can be compared to less than that of a table saw
and taking into consideration the location of the machines and the distance to our neighbors it is unlikely they will
hear anything at all.
- Ace Cutter will have no retail or wholesale/mail-order sales which would generate truck deliveries with the
exception for parcel services such as UPS.
- There will be no business associated vehicles or out door storage required for a business vehicle.
- There will be no entrance or exit added solely for the conduct of the home occupation.
- Since we are providing a service,we will be picking up and dropping off all services performed on site,therefore
generating no additional traffic to the neighborhood.
- There will be no storage of hazardous materials other than normal household materials.
- We guarantee to all residents there will be no fire hazards,offensive odors and pollutants.
- The home occupation will not cause interference with radio or television reception in the vicinity.
- All appropriate State and Federal licenses will be obtained.
- Business will be conducted solely in the garage,displaying no sign and no activity will be visible from the
outside.
As a result of all of the above,we guarantee there will be no change to the residential character of our dwelling or
to our neighborhood.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On October 28`h, 1997 there was a public town meeting pertaining to a major business
application for 488 Strong Road. The application was for a business owned by Scott and Susan
Thompson. I believe the application for the permit is a request to modify their business' status from a
"minor"business to a"major"business. We are petitioning the Planning and Zoning Committee
to reject the permit application for 488 Strong Road.
During the meeting of 10/28 the Thompsons stated that although they were applying for a
naar'business permit,there were not going to be any"significant"changes to their present practices.
Althaugh this statement sounds reasonable,it is overly optimistic and not at all likely.
Tf lhy are granted this permit they are entitled, by law,to do anything a major business is
enhtd Io They already have been approved for a minor business permit. Any disturbance to the
envirtanMent quiet and peaceful living conditions or business practices, are currently contained in
there awat dttnicile. If the application is granted this will most certainly change. The Thompsons
well, by law,be free to exercise any modifications to their business practices,property,noise
palWon and traffic patterns as they deem necessary. We moved to this section of South Windsor
for thot aceful and quiet country living conditions,not the urbanization of residential
neighl7orhoods. We would like our neighborhood to remain the way it is,please.
Please be advised that many residents collectively agree that there is already too much noise
and traffic in this section of South Windsor. We are inundated by Mobil Redemptions,Roadway
Packaging Systems(recently closed), K.F.Brick Co.and countless others. We also do not appreciate
that we can hear(very clearly)Mobil Redemptions' P.A system and that the construction on the clay
bank(off of Strong Rd.)starts at S:OOam(which is very loud). The current noise level,dirt,dust
and traffic are intolerable,please do not make it any worse.
We understand that South Windsor is trying to encourage new business"startups",but there is
more than enough vacant retail space to lease or own that will meet the Thompson's needs. We have
lived in this town,many of us, for forty or more years. We have seen many changes. Some of the
changes were for the good and some not so good. Please don't make a not so good one! We all love
this section of South Windsor just the way it is.
