Ellington Enfield Proposed zoning amendment to allow limited outdoor display and storage of seasonal Farmington equipment in the General Commercial Zone. Glastonbury Comment: The staff of the Regional Planning Commission of the Capitol Region Granby Council of Governments has reviewed this referral and finds no apparent conflict with Hartford regional plans and policies or the concerns of neighboring towns. Hebron Questions concerning this referral should be directed to Rebecca Augur. Manchester Marlborough In accordance with our procedures this letter will constitute final CRCOG action on this referral. The public hearing date has been scheduled for November 15, 2005.

Request for amendment to Section 5.2.4.5 of the zoning regulations to allow limited outdoor display/storage of equipment in the General Commercial zone. The current regulations under Section 3.14 prohibit commercial outdoor storage or display if the storage/display is visible from any public street. The amendment would modify just the GC zone to allow unscreened outdoor storage under certain conditions. 2. The amendment as written is extremely specific and would allow unscreened outdoor storage only at a facility that installs seasonal equipment on motor vehicles; thus it is very much a "special interest" amendment. Commissioners need to ask the question of what particular benefit this amendment has for South Windsor, since it only affects a type of facility that can already be aesthetically challenged even without the availability of unscreened outdoor storage. 3. The Town Plan of Conservation and Development recognizes that there are areas of Route 5 and Sullivan Avenue that are in need of a facelift. The Town Plan includes as major action element #2 the revitalization/redevelopment of Route 5 and Sullivan Avenue. Among the action items are aesthetic improvements, including a corridor aesthetics improvement plan. The Town Plan calls for an existing conditions analysis of the public right-of-way and a master plan of improvements prepared by a professional consultant with experience in aesthetic improvements linked to economic benefits. 4. The only two streets in Town that have GC-zoned-areas are Route 5 and Sullivan Avenue—the two areas recommended for aesthetic improvements in the Town Plan. The proposed amendment has the potential to affect the appearance of not only the applicant's property, but any other GC-zoned property that installs seasonal equipment on cars and trucks. 5. Approval of this applicant would establish a precedent for additional requests for specific types of outdoor storage. If the Commission feels that unscreened outdoor storage is a good idea, Planning Dept suggests that a more general amendment would be appropriate. r 6. The Capitol Region Council of Governments has reviewed this request as required and finds no apparent conflict with regional plans and policies or the concerns of neighboring towns. 7. If the Commission approves this application, you must state on the record that Pp pp the amendment is consistent with your Plan of Conservation and Development.

The reasons for denial included: 1. The amendment is very specific to a singe type of business and thus is inconsistent with principle of uniformity within a zoning district. 2. The commission does not agree that display of large quantities of single items (motor vehicle parts)is in the best interest of South Windsor. Very truly yours, atrick Kennedy, Ch Planning and Zoning Department PK/bmm cc: Peter DeMallie, Design Professionals, Inc.
