They are proposing a north side addition consisting of a second garage space contiguous to the existing single-car garage space, and an in-law apartment above the two-car garage for Mr. Forcellina's parents. This will require a minor driveway widening for access to the second garage space. No driveway alterations are required in the vicinity of Foster Street and it will remain a single lane entrance. The specific variance request is to Section 10.2 Area, Yard, and Height Requirements, 20 feet side yard requirement(14 feet variance to allow the addition within 6f feet of the side property line). The unusual circumstances and hardships that support this application are: 1). The only location to add a second garage stall is immediately contiguous to the existing garage space. 2). The second garage space cannot be added to the south side of the house due to living space/windows. 3). The Forcellinas' have evaluated their existing residence and the alternate locations for the addition and this is the only reasonable location. 4). The proposed addition and required variance enjoys the support of the immediate neighborhood. 5). This application, if approved,will be followed by an application to the Planning&Zoning Commission for an in-law apartment. 6). The applicant proposes to abandon the septic system to the rear of the house and connect to the public sanitary sewer immediately in front of the residence. 7). The proposed addition will increase, or at the minimum maintain, property values of the neighborhood. 8). Other neighbors have constructed house additions and garage additions. 9). The lot is exceptionally deep(367f feet)and therefore,this addition will not affect the property owners to the rear on Palmer Drive. 10). The lot is wooded to the rear,which obscures visibility of the proposed addition. 11). The proposed addition is necessary to accommodate a second vehicle. 12). The addition is necessary to provide a residence for Mr. Forcellina's parents. 13). The parcel has only 99.87 feet of street frontage, or 75.13 feet below the normal requirement in the RR zone and is thus non-conforming to lot width. 14). The reduced lot width has, in part, caused the necessity for this variance. 15). This non-conforming lot pre-dates the zoning requirement for 175 feet of lot frontage. 16). This lot is only 34,917 square feet,which is less than the 40,000 square feet required in this zone, i.e., it is an undersized lot. This lot pre-dates the zoning requirement of 40,000 square feet lot size. Thank you for your consideration of this variance request. 165 South Satellite Road, South Windsor, Connecticut 06074 Tel: (860) 291-8755 • Fax: (860) 291-8757 April 4, 2002 To Whom It May Concern: Please be advised that Peter R.
