Please read our comments into the public record of this meeting. We are very concerned with the proposal to reduce lot area and width and its impact on future development in the Gateway Zone. Allowing � these reductions would complicate access management , increase curb cuts, � and make coordination of the development process more difficult. In addition , the increase in curb cuts into a four lane road , where traffic generally exceeds the 40 mile per hour limit, would make driving more hazardous. It is also conceivable that these reductions would result in a highly fragmented , unsightly mix of structures in the Gateway Zone. Route 83 in Vernon comes to mind. It is our belief that the commission acted with great wisdom several years ago when it created the current zoning regulations. Its concern with reaping the benefits of substantial development was appropriate and in keeping with the character of South Windsor. Thank you.

The impacts of the various amendments would be as follows. Outlots amendment (sec. 5.8.6.a.): The original application requested a reduction in minimum lot size from 3 acres to one acre; and a reduction in minimum frontage from 200 feet to 100 feet. Planning Department staff had a major concern with that proposal, for two reasons: (1) the larger lot size was deliberately adopted by the Commission to attract larger development projects; and (2) the decrease in required frontage is in direct contradiction to access management objectives of minimizing the number of small lots and individual driveways. In response to that concern, the applicant revised the proposal to eliminate the requested lot size and frontage reductions; and substituted an outlots amendment. f - �d___ of small,f ec� tanding Ysuil�lrrgs-t t-a e frequ tly--assc eiatetl w th 1 a gor shoppi r ev , sueh-a-s-the°Qlive-Gaxden-ancl Borston-Market at the Fl -Buekland-Plils:- hese outlets-;-whizh-a-re--se-p-a-r-aTe-ty-ow-ned-from-the-r-e-m-aining-larger-shopping _(;f,,jPA�Under the current regulations, there is no provision for independently-owned outlots; any stand-alone restaurants or other buildings would need to be part of the larger development unless they subdivide out three-acre lots for these stand-alone buildings. The proposed outlots amendment would allow independently-owned outlots that, with the proposed restrictions, would still be designed as an integral part of a larger shopping center. The no-frontage and non-access restrictions are recommended in order to eliminate the possibility of numerous small lots with their own driveways directly onto Buckland Road, thereby eliminating the concern that such outlots would interfere with the importance of managing access onto Buckland Road. This amendment as written would provide applicants with the flexibility to accomplish their objectives while being sensitive to our access management objectives for Buckland Road. i f I I 1 /l ' � ,� � ,. E i F €f (f l t f f E F( F p� k 3 F 4 p� S g� 9 1 • The maxi um building 'ght amendment (se .8.5.c.3): Under the cu nt regula ' ns, an entire uilding m/ana ck at least 125 feet from Buc and Road i rder to take athe addition/hi eight. T proposed endment wouldditional 30 ft for any portions of uilding that are gr5 feet from B Road. Thus, a b , ' ding could be shorterand taller iif it straddles the 125-foot line. • Garden shops (sec. 5.8.5.c.3): The existing regulation requires that all business must be conducted within completely enclosed buildings. There are existing retail operations that include garden centers with walls but no roof (for example, Home Depot at Buckland Hills). From the outside, it is difficult to tell that the building is not completely enclosed. The proposed amendment would allow such garden shop enclosures with walls but no roof. • Signage (sec. 5.8.5.c.7): The current regulation allows one building sign per building; or one building sign for each tenant in a multiple-tenant building,_ both not to exceed 1 square foot per lineal foot of building frontage.dart Building frontage is the wall of the building that faces the street. The proposed amendment would modify this allowance by allowing one square foot of building signage per lineal foot of the longest building wall, whether it faces the street or not. Also, there is no provision for additional building signage for buildings with frontage on more than one street or that have visibility from more than one side. The proposed amendment would maintain the same total amount of signage but would allow the applicant to allocate signage among various sides of a building or among various tenants as the applicant prefers. • Parki g lot 1 Gaping (sec. 5 .S.d.l(d)): proposed dment would redu the mo nt of la - Capin requir in t e inter' of a p . t by half, fro 10% ��e arking lot o 5%. • Loading paces (sec. 5.8.5.E.1)-- ur current reations require.,one loading space f eac 20,000 squfee of building''��aea, �egardless`_of?type of j operati n. e propose amend ent wouls�allow n applicant to cons ct the nu b r of oadin spaces th t are g erally ne de for the part�use in acc dance accepted indu ractice. • Noise qmissio,n s c. 5.8.5. ): The Gatew y zone h �no'se emission standar s tha are s mew t inre res ' 'tive an t Town s noise ordi ance; a d that do not ' erentiate be ee residential d commercial,----- rec ptors h proposed e dment w Id ad a comp en that allo n ise a issio s to be ' entic 1 to th ouncil's oise missi st ards e the adj a ent e is com er 'al or industria . • Definition shopping o nter: There is currently no definition of a shopping center h r regulAtion;; however, op ling ce ;e as a use j', ' cluded in the tfai e o requir d parkin d`n Sectfon 1 .T e proposed efir�ition incl attache and e-standi�`g e ablis ment , witVion. nimum of twoes function as a unit re ed tom t e defin • Gross fl o ea: The prop e modific ion Aould exclude a as of gede� shop f in C. lculations gro s floo area for j urpo calc bating num er of re uired king sp ces • General Plan of Development (sec. 8.1.2.): The approval process for the Buckland Gateway Zone is the standard site plan approval, which requires that all engineering and design work be completed for a site plan application. For smaller, less complex sites, this process is expeditious and serves applicants well. Developers of larger, more complex projects, however, have expressed a desire for a two-step approval process that would let the applicant receive General Plan approval for a site before completing final site design and engineering. This is the process that we currently use in the Designed Commercial zone as well as in Designed Residence and Multi- family zones. Under the two-step process, plans are prepared with sufficient detail for the Commission to determine whether the proposed development is desirable. If the Commission approves the General Plan, then the applicant has project approval and can proceed with the site plan application with peace of mind that the site plan will be approved if it complies with the approved General Plan. If the General Plan is denied, then the applicant hasn't spent an exorbitant amount of money on a failed plan. Applicants would be able to choose whether to use the one-step site plan or the two-step general plan/site plan process for approval for any project. The two-step general plan/site plan process is a process that has worked well in South Windsor for many years. Its inclusion into the Site Plan section of the zoning regulations as an option would allow for its use by any applicant who so desires. This amendment would serve both applicants and the Commission well by providing flexibility to applicants in the choice of approval process. Applicants for projects in other business zones such as the 1-291 zone would also be able to take advantage of the two-step process. For r ' these reasons, the Planning Dept. would very much like to see an amendment for the optional two-step process added to the Site Plan section of our regulations. 3. Planning Department technical concerns have been addressed by the applicant for the proposed amendments. Therefore, if the Commission chooses to adopt these amendments, the Planning Dept. has no requested modifications.
