Date: May 12, 2003 To: Planning and Zoning South Windsor, CT From: Tom Lovett DBA Pleasant Valley Landscaping Re: Application for Major Home Occupation I have been a resident of South Windsor for 30 years. I have been operating Pleasant Valley Landscaping for 17 years. The cost of commercial rental property has become very costly and very scarce in South Windsor, which has prompted me to purchase this property and apply for this permit. My company is a two-man show, one employee and myself. I would be living at his property with my family and all landscaping equipment will be kept in the rear barn. All landscape equipment and trucks would be able to be stored inside. We have no deliveries to the shop and rarely return during the day for=4.nything. Hours of-operation are generally from 7:30 am— 5:00 pm, five days a week—occasionally we work on Saturday. We offer no retail sales of any material. My purchase of this property hinges on the acceptance of this application. I fit with in all of the criteria of section 4.8.3 Major Home Occupations. If approved I would be planting screening trees to obscure the rear barn from the road and make the property as residential only appearing as possible. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. 4512 ? 2D SIOE LINE - a = - y � ell CONSERVAT IJN AREA ' 1 lfl L i MIT OF WETLANDS AS MARKED aY SDiL ._° DRwt ' O- SCIENTwST Q IS J LIMIT OF SON.-,ILVATi m W A f S *j 3 vT -�---� -_ - 20 SIDE LwE N ' ox Y 4 . 0 kv� CAI LOT 5 53L ►4 2D SioE LINE - _ Corv7Ef:uAY0N AREA / I Ln LIMIT OF WETLANDS LOT LD AS MARKED aY SOIL SUtNftT LOs sue- `.� AREA „tn I p •It • y 1 99Co Z I� I I L e::-r 3 E MjS Co PRRrcr • vrot.tTEo. s ntlka..

This business will probably be operated via a second driveway that may not be entirely on this property. If this is the case then an easement is necessary for this driveway. The applicant needs to present a plan for the proper construction of a paved driveway apron (to keep dirt from being tracked into the road). The driveway needs to be shown on the plan and the necessary easement also included. A Street Excavation Permit is necessary for the construction of this driveway. Thank You Jeff Doolittle, P.E.
