Schedule B.
The following is a brief history of the use of the property at 175 Wheeler Road and a
summary of the Kebalo Family Business.
Background
1. K.F. Properties LLC(Kebalo Family) is owned by brothers Walter and Andrian
Kebalo. 175 Wheeler Read was formerly known as 176 Smith Street and has
been owned by the Kebalo family since 1961.
2. Included on the property at 175 Wheeler Road is a two-story concrete black
building with a slate roof and concrete floors built in the 1920s. At one time, it
was a standalone building and is now connected by a new foyer to the Kebalo
two-family house. The house is currently undergoing an exterior renovation with
new windows and new siding.
3. The concrete block building was once used as a horse barn on the lower level and
a historic dance hall on the upper level.
4. Beginning in 1961, Mr. Paul Kebalo(father)operated a carpentry shop.
5. In 1969,Mr. Wasylenko(grandfather)applied for and received from planning and
zoning commission permission for a family-run machine shop.
6. Today the machine shop is only being used as storage space for Kebalo's electric
company business.
Description of Kebalo family business activities
1. A family-owned business since 1987,the electric company provides electrical
contracting service primarily to commercial customers.
2. Some recent projects in South Windsor include the new Post Office, Steeltech's
new building on Nutmeg Road, and also the wiring of the new condominium
complex called"Wheeler Estates".
3. The business employs three family members,a nephew and our wives. The
nephew is full time and the wives are part time positions. We(Walter and Andy)
may spend a couple hours each day there between visiting job sites.
4. The electric company customers and salesmen do not come to our offices—we go
to them.
5. The electric company is not open evenings.
6. The electric company has several small trucks. The trucks are not parked or
dispatched from here—only one or two small trucks are parked at the shop or are
garaged, 'The other trucks stay with the drivers either at job sites(day)or their
homes(night). All the electric company trucks pay South Windsor property
taxes.
7. Almost all of our supplies are delivered directly from the supplier to the job sites,
occasionally a vendor will deliver something to the office—but the volume of this
is low.
8. We do store some leftover supplies and tools in the shop area, but it is not used as
a warehouse with people coming and going with material.
r
9. Our electricians may stop by occasionally but they don't work at the office and
they don't come to the office except for special situations.
10. We do have adequate parking and our access is from a lightly used road.
11. Walter lives across the street, he walks to work.
12. Other activities on the site include the business of building the"Wheeler Estates"
condominium project. This project is being closed out and any related activities
should be completed by September or October.
13. We also provide maintenance services to the Wheeler Estates Condominium
Association. Wheeler Estates is a 25 unit SRD on 7.6 acres located 200 feet from
our shop. We mostly provide lawn care service, leave removal and snow
plowing. Our office with its close proximity to Wheeler Estates provides prompt
service in case of emergencies. We garage some equipment used at the condos
including;lawn-mowing equipment, a small street cleaner, snow plowing
equipment and leave disposal equipment.
In order to address anyone's concerns for continued business being on the property:
1. We have explained the level of activity for our business and believe that the level
of traffic is much less than what a typical retail or professional services business
generates.
2. We have an established natural buffer behind the shop. In front of the driveway
we have added natural screening from both Smith Street and Wheeler Road, so it
will look like a slightly larger home next to some trees and shrubs.
3. Except for our name on the mail box and an I x 24"name plate on the shop
door. There is no outside signage advertising a commercial business.

KEBALO ELECTRIC T & C PERMIT RENEWAL PH 9/9/03
1. Request a temporary and conditional permit for an electrical contracting
business at 176 Wheeler Road, A-20 zone. Kebalo Electric has been
operating the business from this location since about 1987. The
commission approved a temporary and conditional permit on 10/31/00
for one year (which expired on 10/31/01). They are requesting a far
renewal.
2. The PZC granted approval in 1969 for the owner to have a machine shop
in the former horse barn, with no other employees. Today the machine
shop is being used for storage space for Kebalo Electric Company.
There is also an office in the house from which the business is
conducted. - lc� �� 1�
3. The applicant has submitted a description of the activities of the
activities on site associated with the operation of Kebalo Electric. The
parking lot was expanded to accommodate six cars when the subdivision
was constructed.
4. The applicant has also submitted information about other activities that
take place on site as property managers of the SRD. They have indicated
that they house equipment used in the maintenance of the SRD. The
other heavy equipment housed on the property, including a backhoe and
a dump truck, are now being removed from the site as the work on the
SRD comes to an end.
5. The wording of the T & C permit regulation is that, "Temporary and
conditional permits may be granted by the Commission for a use which
is not specified elsewhere in these regulations for a period not to exceed
two years. Such approval may be given after a Public Hearing if, in the
judgment of the Commission, the public convenience and welfare will be
substantially served, and the appropriate use of neighboring property will
not be substantially or permanently injured, and traffic and other hazards
will not result from such use." Electrical contractor establishments are a
specifically permitted use in the industrial zone. It is also probable that
an electrical contracting business would qualify under the similar uses
provision of the General Commercial zone.
6. If this application is approved, we sugge t that the approval clearly
reflect which of the uses is included in the approval.
