(Unfortunately, due to a prior commitment, I am unable to be there.) I am not alone in my feelings but people who live on Countryview are hesitant to come forward due to the aggressive manner Mr. and Mrs. Sirois have demonstrated since moving to South Windsor. This addition, an in-law apartment, is, to my knowledge, the first one in our neighborhood. Therefore, it sets the tone for any future development of that kind. Unfortunately, this addition is very unsightly and I believe it will affect our property values in a detrimental manner. The entire addition is visible from the street, not discretely added as a separate apartment, as other in-law apartments in town have been placed. There are two separate po rches, separated by a single car garage, giving the appearance earance of a two- family familY house. One of the porches, the new one, has, since it was built, housed at various times, garbage cans, lumber, metal pails, etc. This storage area is unsightly. There is no-separate entrance to this in-law apartment. In looking at the plans provided to the Town, this addition appears as an empty 27' x 15' box so it is hard to know what has been placed in that space. Therefore, I am unsure how your Commission can determine whether or not this addition meets our Town's planning and zoning regulations. I would request that the Planning and Zoning Commission go out to this address and view this already-existing proposed addition to insure it complies with the zoning requirements of our Town. I know your Commission has worked long and hard to insure that our Town remains a desirable place to live by requiring all residents to adhere to certain guidelines. Before approving this addition simply because it has already been built, without approval, I implore you to insure that it meets the standards of our Town's Code. Thank you for your consideration.
