Variance Application
Sullivan Town Homes, LLC
Sullivan Avenue
South Windsor, Connecticut
November 14, 2002
Sullivan Town Homes, LLC has received approval for and is now building a senior
condominium development known as Strawberry Fields on Sullivan Avenue opposite Hillsdale
Road. The first building, containing Units 501, 502 and 503 Dzen Way, is being completed for
occupancy in November 2002. The second building, containing units 601, 602 and 603 Dzen
Way, is nearly complete and is to be occupied in December 2002.
The subject application is to request a 2.5 feet variance to Section 4.4.4.2F.2(a) for Unit
602 to allow a portion of the front porch within the required 40 feet setback(i.e., 37.5 feet) from
the centerline of the site's principal street (i.e., Dzen Way).
The unusual hardship and exceptional difficulty on the property which prompts this
application includes the following:
1). The building's architectural style does not afford an alternate scenario to resolve
this issue without a variance.
2). The building is substantially complete (completion of selected interior items are
what is outstanding).
3). The unit is under contract for sale, consistent with the original architectural design.
4). The architect, site engineer and builder met at the site on November 13 and were
unable to come up with a satisfactory construction resolution.
5). The building's porch would not be in character with the architectural theme if it
were to be modified to conform to this zoning setback.
6). The builder did not realize that the building's porch setback was related to the
centerline of the private street. The builder does now realize this and has
implemented measures to avoid a recurrence of this problem, including a minor
redesign of future buildings in this development.
7). The building cannot be moved.
8). This setback is visually indiscernible from the full 40 feet setback
9). Hardship is caused by the relationship between the structure and the curved
portion of the road, i.e.,the middle of the building(i.e., the subject dwelling unit)
is required to be farther from the street than the two end residences. This was a
surprise to the building contractor.
10). The situation was not discovered until after the building's exterior was
substantially completed.
11). Town staff gave an opinion to the applicant's surveying company on November 14
that a variance would be required.
12). Additional factors pertinent to this application will be furnished at the public
hearing.
Thank you.

Re: Appl.#2561-02—Sullivan Town Homes,Strawberry Fields Condominium,unit 602 Dzen
Way,(westerly of Sullivan Avenue),MF-A zone
Dear Attorney Jacobs:
At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on January 9,2003,the Board approved
your request for a 2.5' variance to section 4.4.4.2.F.2(a)to allow a porch 37.5' from the property line at
Strawberry Fields Condominiums,unit 602 Dzen Way(westerly of Sullivan Avenue),MF-A zone.
The Board concluded the hardship on the property to be as follows:
1. If the porch area were any smaller,it would not be handicap accessible.
2. The building or the driveway can not be reasonably relocated.
3. If the pillars were eliminated from this unit, it would impact the aesthetics of the project.
Any new building, or alteration/additions to existing buildings,requires a building permit prior to start of
construction.
These actions are effective upon your filing the enclosed form in the Town Clerk's Office at your own
expense.
Very truly yours,
Robert Warren, Chairman
