LOCATION: 67 McGuire Road - Equipment Storage
Zoned General Commercial
Dear Sir:
This is in reference to our initial letter of May 14, 2002 concerning the truck parts
and other equipment existing on the site without the appropriate approvals. A
recent field review revealed that the equipment is still present on the property
and that this continues to be a zoning violation.
SOUTH WINDSOR REGULATION SECTION: Section 3.15 Commercial and
Industrial Storage; Section 8.1 Site Development Plan
It is understood that you have applied to the Planning and Zoning Commission
for a zone change on the property that you bought from the State of Connecticut,
across from your present site. Please be aware that although the zone change
application is pending, you are still required to conform to the Town's regulations.
As stated in our May letter, the equipment being stored outside should be
removed from the site or stored inside the building. (Outdoor storage other than
what is specifically approved is not allowed.)
Feel free to contact me at 644-2511, ext. 251 if there are any questions.
Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Failure to comply with the
terms of this notice by September 11, 2002 will result in the issuance of a notice
of violation and further enforcement actions.
S'ncerely, _

e. WPCA approval needed for sewerage, as well as the enter&hold harmless agreements for refuse
collection/recycling.
2. Westview Office Park
a. Possibility of eliminating existing drywell (now connected into Sullivan Ave/Ayers Rd system)?
3. DBB Zone Change: No staff input
4. Construction updates: No new major issues on ongoing construction projects
5. Cutler Ridge/Stone Crossing questions:
a. Can the residents mow/maintain the Town open space along the roadway(Butler Drive)?Karl
would like to see that happen;how best to accomplish that? Suggested that the residents can
approach the Council under the Application Process for Modification or Expansion of Use of
Town-Owned Subdivision Open Space, and request item B: Modification of existing/current
Town maintenance/cultural practices.
b. Can the(4) owners of the island in the large cul-de-sac erect a tennis court in the island?
(Question asked by resident Mike Lanza.) Staff discussed the issues of snow removal and sight
lines, and agreed that this is worth considering.The residents can submit a detailed plan showing
how the tennis court would be built; fence poles must stay at least five feet from the curb, and no
arborvitaes can be placed close to the street. The Town would also need a hold harmless
agreement.

RE: Your Letter Dated August 15, 2002 To DBB Management, LLC
(Concerning 67 McGuire Road Equipment Storage)
Dear Ms. O'Connor:
I'm writing on behalf of my client, DBB Management Company, LLC, the owner of
premises at 67 McGuire Road, South Windsor, Connecticut, to respond to your letters of
May 14 and August 15, 2002.
Please rest assured that my client does not intend, in any way, to violate the zoning
regulations of the Town of South Windsor.
My clients' principal, Mr. Patrick Bannon, informs me that when he obtained approval
from the Zoning Board of Appeals, for the location of his business at 67 McGuire Road,
in 1994, he believed that he had obtained all necessary approvals for the conduct of his
business at that location. No one at the Town Hall informed him that he needed any
further approval. In fact, my client has been continually operating his business, Hartford
Truck Equipment, Inc., on the property since 1994 without complaint from any person
until receipt of your letter dated May 14, 2002.
In the meantime, in March of 2002, prior to receiving your first letter, my client had
purchased land across the street from his existing location from the State of Connecticut.
As referenced in your August 15d'letter, my client has a pending application for a zone
change for that property which is scheduled for Planning and Zoning hearing on
September 24 h. In the event that the Planning and Zoning Commission grants my
client's request for a zone change for the adjoining property, then, my client will be
submitting a site plan application for the new property.
In accord with my client's plan of development, his company ofce's display room and
other facilities will be located in a new building to be constructed on its adjoining
property. This new site plan would result therefore in a substantial change to my client_' .. r
use of its existing property.
My client will then be submitting a site plan which will encompass all uses and activities
on both parcels-.-
Without prejudice to my client's position that his existing activities are currently in
conformance with the South Windsor Zoning Regulations,_however;my client agrees that
it will submit a site plan for its existing parcel in the event that his zone change
application is denied. _
Given the substantial change in the use of 67 McGuire Road,' however;which will result
in the event that the zone change application is approved, it would appear to be
reasonable to obtain the Planning and Zoning Commission's decision on that application
before proceeding to draft and file a site plan.
Sincere ours,

September 9,2002
To Area Residents;
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself,my name is Lynn Brannon,my husband
Patrick and I own and operate Hartford Truck Equipment and DBB Management. We also have
a home and raise our three children here in South Windsor. We have been in the area since
relationshipwe have developed with man of you. We would like to
1994 and have enjoyed the ped y
continue to do business and look forward to meeting many more of you in the future.
As you may be aware,we are applying for a zone change on 36 McGuire Road, South Windsor.
The zone change hearing is set for September 24,7:30 pm. We would appreciate your support at
that hearing.
This zone change would allow us to build an office and storage area for our products. Our
intention is to build a building that would complement the area,while keeping in mind the
residential homes around us. This building would store products and house the office part of our
business which is presently located at 67 McGuire. We do not foresee any noticeable increase in
traffic or business. The purpose is to streamline existing operations. Our hours of operation will
• not change. They are 7:OOam to 4:30pm further reducing any chances of our operation
disturbing homeowners in the area.
We feel this is a logical request for a zone change given the close proximity to I-291 on/off
ramps.
We welcome any questions you may have in reference to our zone change application or
proposal to property,please feel free to call us. Hartford Truck Equipment,Inc. 860-290-9516
or at home 860-648-0511. I have attached our rough draft of our proposed building,I hope this
will aid you in your decision to support us. We look forward to your call or visit. Thank you
for your time.

To Whom it may concern,
I would have no Problem with Hartford Truck Equipment adding on to their location. I
lunderstand that they want to put in offim acmes from their current location, South
`Windsor is fortunate to have a business in town like Hartford Truck-Equqment. They are
not only professionals at what they do, but they bring ale intO town from all over the
state, which,gives South Windsor a chance to show off m&at the rest of the town hastcs

To Whom It May Concern;
I am writing this note to show my support for the zone change that
Patrick and Lynn Brannon of Hartford Truck Equipment have applied for.
Hartford Truck Equipment is a highly reputable company and I would like to see
them stay in South Windsor. in further support of the zone change 1 note the
following:
1 . The Brannon's have always kept their business location very neat
and clean and believe they set a much needed example for the
Route 5 area and welcome the new building they propose.
2. 1 am a resident of Main Street in South Windsor (south end) and you
• would never know that Hartford Truck Equipment was even on
McGuire Road if I didn't see them from Route 5. 1 have never
noticed any unusual traffic on or around Main Street so to lose
them and chance what type of business would move to this location
is a concern of mine.
I pledge my complete support for this zone change and urge the Town of
South Windsor to do the same.
Thank you.
Very�truly yours,
Katherine Foley
Main Street Homeowner
• I am in support of the zone change requested by DBB. They are currently conducting
business on that road,which already contains many other parcels zoned general
commercial. In addition,the subject parcel would not be suitable for home
development since it backs up to the highway.

Re: Appl#02-46P, DBB Management, LLC
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Brannon:
We regret to advise you that on November 19, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to deny the
above-referenced application for zone change from Rural Residential to General Commercial for a 1.35 acres of
land located on the northerly side of McGuire Road, westerly of Route 5 and 400+ feet east of King Street.
The Commission's reason for denial is based on concerns that:
1. The required setbacks and buffers, once applied, would make the lot unsuitable for development;
2. The potential increase in commercial traffic would travel through residential areas (as there is no
other access to this property);
3. The proposal is not in conformance with the Town's Plan of Conservation and Development.
Sincerely,

2. The site is surrounded by RR-zoned on the same side of McGuire Road. Across
the road, on the south side of McGuire Rd, part of the subject property's
frontage is across from General Commercial-zoned land. A4N#4amp for I-291
is located about 130+/- feet from the east property boundary. The new Town
Plan depicts land along Route 5 as Commercial/Industrial, with Low Density
Residential to the west of the Route 5 corridor. -1'4 P l r,` 1 s �'A 4',e �.� a
3. Section 16 includes criteria for a zone change: p r 677 f'r
♦ How the zone change compares with the Comprehensive Plan of `lr�
a
Development; , r.
♦ How the land shall be secured from flooding and other dangers;
♦ How the land upstream and downstream in the same watershed shall be
secured from flooding and other dangers;
♦ How the land shall be served by water, sewerage, transportation, and other
public utilities; and
♦ How the proposed zone change will affect any wetlands in the area.
4. General Commercial is the least restrictive of the commercial zones. If this
property is rezoned to General Commercial, the uses allowed as of right include r"d+hIfd
retail sales, restaurants and taverns including fast food, laundry, printing,
building materials sales and storage, motor vehicle sales and storage, gas
stations. Special exception uses include day care centers and adult-oriented
establishments. 7 p� uSe1 pA� lr ,u � tee 2�+ , r�
a S Z r f LZL dv f i dx�11 C44_ _, S /2- � i C4-c.
5. A zone change is the appropriate time to discuss traffic impacts. The small
amount of existing General Commercial land on McGuire Road is accessed by
traveling through a residential neighborhood. This isIAiV Adesirable
situation. When the zoning along Route 5 was first established, McGuire Road
was a through street, and the residential neighborhood did not have to
a t ft Z I r c 4 �v nos
al� � �� (�I-,-

LAA-
,
i
experience commercial traffic. The construction of I-291 severed the
connection of McGuire Rd to Route 5. The Commission needs to carefully
consider whether you wish to expand the amount of commercial land accessed
by residential streets.
6. If this zone change is approved, there will be a 50 -foot buffer requirement
around most of the property, including along the portion of the property
frontage that is across the street from residentially-zoned property. The buffer
will have to result in the field of view between the commercial property and the
residential property being obscured within five years to the extent that activity
on the commercial property is not immediately apparent; and activity on the
commercial site must be substantially obscured visually by the maturity of the
planting.
The buffer requirement has a particularly large impact on a single commercial
property zoned differently from those around it, as would be the case if this
application is approved. You can see from the 11" x 17" map that I provided,
that application of the required buffer and yard setbacks on all sides leaves very
little room for a building. The approximate building area is that area inside the
pink boundary. Parking areas would be able to go up to the yellow line, but
nothing can go within the 50-foot buffer. It seems a logical next step for the
Zoning Board of Appeals to grant variances if the Commission has approved a
rezoning with full knowledge that there is not much buildable area and full
knowledge of the various uses permitted in a GC zone:-
7. We note for your information that the existing business at 67 McGuire Rd,
owned by the applicant, has a large amount of unscreened outdoor storage that
is clearly visible from Route 5. The end of McGuire Road itself is also being
used for outdoor storage by the truck body company. The applicant has been
cited for zoning violations for the outdoor storage. In response to the notice of
violation, the owner has indicated that the new site, if rezoned to GC, would be
used for a new building for the company's display room and other facilities,
which the owner notes would then clean up the existing site.
8. The wetlands map does not show any regulated wetlands on this site. .
9. Public water is available, but there are no public sewers in this area.
10.Site plan of development approval would be required prior to any commercial
use of this site.
11.If this zone change is approved, the Commission must state on the record that
they have found the zone change to be consistent with the plan of development.
