Since 1961,the property has been owned by members or entities associated with the Kebalo family.In 1961 the property was purchased by Walt&Andy's parents,Helen and Paul Kebalo,along with Walt&Andy's grandparents,Walter and Eugene Wasylenko.At that time it contained a historic two-story residence erected in the 1890's,and a separate two-story concrete block commercial building with a slate roof built in the 1920's.This latter building consisted of a lower level horsebarn and a second floor dancehall.The dancehall had been used by many Town residents over the years, even for wedding receptions.In 1961 the residence was converted to a two-family dwelling,with Town permission.Also in that year,the former horsebam was utilized as a carpentry shop,and in 1969 the Town granted permission for a machine shop,also contained within the horsebarn.In 1987 Kebalo Electric Company,Inc.also commenced operations at the location.Following a zone change in September 1991 (RR to A-20),in April 1994 the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals granted the Kebalo's request for a front yard variance(5')to relocate the house on the property.In 1995 the Kebalo's were issued a permit to relocate the house on the property,then to connect it to the commercial structure,with substantial renovations including a new stairwell and foyer addition.After the approval of Wheeler Estates(a six lot subdivision,including the lot for 175 Wheeler Road and a 25-unit senior residence development,all served by an extension of Wheeler Road),the Planning&Zoning Commission granted a series of temporary and conditional permits allowing use of the dancehall as a commercial office.The first office T&C permit approval was granted in 2000. The specific variance request is to Section 5.6.4 to allow an office conversion on Wheeler Road and Smith Street(i.e.,at 175 Wheeler Road). The unusual hardships and exceptional difficulties on the property which prompts this application include the following: 1. The particular site for this office conversion has been used as an office for some 5 years without objection nor impact on any abutting property owner. 2. Kebalo Electric has operated from this site since 1987 without any objection nor impact on any abutting property owner. 3. There is no other relief available within the zoning regulations allowing for reasonable office use of this property. 4. Adequate parking exists on the subject property. 5. There will be no need for any on-street parking. 6. A buffer has already been established along the northerly property line,which,with limited additional plantings and additional growth,will provide adequate screening for the future owner of Lot 2 to the north. 7. KF Properties,Kebalo Electric and other Kebalo entities do not require any exterior signage at this location. 8. KF Properties,Kebalo Electric and their other entities do not require any overnight parking of commercial vehicles associated with the proposed office use. 9. A zone change to any commercial zone would constitute spot zoning given the limited size of the subject parcel. 10. A commercial zone change would render the existing residential uses non-conforming. 11. The subject offices are subject to normal property and personal property taxes. 12. The offices have not and will not require evening or weekend office hours consistent with Section 5.6.3(g),i.e.,they are a relatively quiet neighbor. 13. The Kebalo family provides services to the adjoining'Wheeler Estates senior residence development(landscape maintenance,snow plowing,security,and the like). 14. The intent of the original office conversions was to allow offices within a residential setting which would co-exist with adjoining residential uses. 15. Both original structures on the subject property,which were connected in 1995,are historic and should be preserved,as encouraged by Section 5.6.30). 16. Conversion of the subject dancehall to any other use would require variances. 17. The proposed use would have the least impact of any other likely use for this subject space. 18. No building additions are proposed with this application. 19. This application is consistent with the regulations review criteria contained in Section 5.6.1(1)through(6). 20. The subject parcel is diagonally across the street from a large commercially zoned(DC) tract adjacent to the Plaza at Buckland Hills. 21. The subject building has a long history of commercial use,including a carpentry and machine shop. 22. A mature arborvitae hedgerow exists across Wheeler Road on Lot No.6. 23. The applicant has made significant exterior upgrades to the subject building in the last two years(e.g.,new siding,roofing and painting). 24. Office tenant entities include KF Realty,KF Construction,KF Properties,and Kebalo Electric. 25. To date,all office employees use the office on a part-time basis. 26. The office space is within the former dancehall,and presently consists of three small offices,a conference room,lounge,bathroom,and a large room for four work stations and a copier/storage/fax area.It is an attractive office environment with original (dancehall)wood floors with lots of windows and ten foot ceilings. 27. If the ZBA grants this application,the applicant will be required to then secure a special exception approval from the PZC. 28. The building's exterior has a residential appearance. In conclusion,we believe there are multiple hardships and exceptional difficulties which warrant consideration by the Zoning Board of Appeals.Thank you.

You had some concerns about commercial sprawl that may be triggered with granting of our application. The sole reason for the application is to allow my offices, presently located above the commercial garage, to remain permanently. I commit to you now that my three remaining un-built lots will not be • used for commercial purposes, now or in the future. One lot is approved for residential condos, and the other two will eventually contain new single- family homes. I also pledge to you and my fellow neighbors that I will be an advocate against any commercial sprawl that may enter our neighborhood or adjacent neighborhoods. Remember I have lived in this neighborhood since 1961 and plan on remaining in this neighborhood whether it is at Wheeler Estates condos or at the house on 175 Wheeler Road. My concerns are the same as your concerns. So in conclusion I hope that you reconsider your opinion. Sincerely A4W/ Walter Kebalo t lip a re F 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE SOUTH WINDSOR.

There is an existing house and the applicant is proposing to create an additional house lot. The requirements for the interior lot in the RR include:$0,000 sf minimum lot size and 262.5 feet minimum lot width.The proposed interior lot would be over 96,905 sf size and approximately 263 feet in width. The remaining lot with the existing house would be just about an acre. Access to the interior lot is proposed from a new drive onto Ellington Road.The driveway servicing the new interior lot will include a turn-around.

There is no screening proposed between the existing house and the proposed interior lot,staff would recommend some screening be placed between the houses. If this application is approved,the Planning Dept.has no other approval modifications except as already noted. Lipe read the Engineering Report: The foundation drain outlet from the proposed house on Lot 2 should be directed more to the east so the discharge to the wetlands and brook is on this property. The elevation of this drain should be raised as much as possible. A permit is required from the Connecticut DOT for the driveway cut for Lot Z and any work in the ROW. Note 16 needs to be changed accordingly. A street cut permit from the Town of South Windsor is not regained for work in a State Road/ROW. The driveway for Lot 2 needs a paved apron that extends at least 20 feet from the existing edge of pavement on Ellington Road An application must be made to the WPCA for the Sanitary Sewer lateral for the proposed house on Lot 2 and this must be approved and any charges paid before this is installed There was no public participation on this application.

If this application is approved,the Planning Dept.requests that;in,addition to the items already-noted,the density calculation be corrected to reflect 4.3 units per acre,not 3 units per acre. Doolittle read the Engineering Report: Waiting for an analysis by the Engineer regarding the capacity of the existing storm drainage line that runs from the first CB in Wheeler Road toward the proposed units. This storm drainage line may have to be increased in size. There should be access to the storm drainage line for maintenance via clean-outs or a drainage structure. A sight-line easement should be provided on the north east corner of Smith Street and Wheeler Road This is the corner where this SRD is proposed There have been numerous complaints about the poor sight-fine existing to the east for vehicles traveling south on Wheeler Road at this intersection. Some of the existing and proposed landscaping at this comer needs to be moved. We can work with the applicant to determine the exact area for this casement- An application must be made to the WPCA for this project and their approval received. Each unit needs to have a separate connection to the sanitary sewer system. These separate lines can be tied together into a common lateral(with cleanouts at each connection)that runs behind the unit and to the existing SMH in Wheeler Road Street cut permits are required for the new driveway on Smith Street and utility connections on Smith Street and Wheeler Road There was no public participation on this application. hup://southwindsorct virtualtownUl.net/SWindsorCT Planning/S00470295-004702A0 3/1/2005 PZ.0 Minutes 9-9-03 Page 4 of 8 Schechinger added it is being requested that the sidewalk be extended only to the second driveway.

No volume-oftraffic to site No employee parking on the site Provide Wheeler Estates Association maintenance contract Established natural buffer added screening to the site No signage proposed for the site Family owned and operated business All materials are delivered to the job sites Minimal storage of overstock Adequate parking Kebalo inquired what could be done to make a restricted commercial use on the property so the applicant would not have to come back for renewals and asked for input from the Commission. Chairman McCann stated this relates to the zoning regulations and indicated this property is zoned A-20 which is residential. The option available would be a zone change. Lipe read the Planning Report: 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/W for one year(which expired on 10/31/01).They are requesting a two-year renewal. The PZC granted approval in 1%9 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. 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. 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 she as the work on the SRD comes to an end These uses would not be 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 use provision of the General Commercial zone. Lipe clarified the alternatives indicating a variance would not be an option for the applicant due to the Zoning Board of Appeals not having the authority to.grant commercial activities. A zone change or amendment to the regulations under the residential zoning are the options available. h4://southwindwrcl~virtualtownhall.net/SWindsorCT Plm:dng/S00470295-004702A0 3/1/2005 PZC Minutes 9-9-03 Page 5 of 8 _ If this application is approved,we suggest that the approval Clearly reflect which of the uses is included in the approval and requests that the applicant be required to remove the remaining construction equipment from the adjacent site.

Chaicmaa McCann had a discussion with the applicants regarding the concerns of the Commission indicating there has been } change in use of the property over the years. This is a residential area especially since the construction of Wheeler Estates. - Andy and Walt Kebalo started the building is a 5,000 sq.&that has been a commercial use for years and have concerns of how the property can be used. It was asked if there could be an approval with special conditions to allow the continuation of commercial use.

We have enjoyed living here for two years. There is very little activity in connection with the office.in which we share a common entryway. It is very quiet and peaceful during business tours. 1 had the opportunity to work in the office for a brief period of time. For the most F part there are only one or two people in the office; occasionally there are four (three of which are family members). Those who actually work in the field are rarely on the property since they have their own trucks and leave from their respective homes to the job site. Nick has been permanently disabled for five years and was recently hospitalized for five weeks with follow up care at a rehabilitation facility. Its naturally. a concern for both of us when he is left alone while I work Tuesday night after a brief leave, I found Nick helplessly on the floor from a fall; he had been there for a half hour. On numerous occasions the Kebalo's have been an invaluable help to us. Having someone nearby during business hours in the event of health issues or unexpected repairs is very reassuring. It would be of great concern and worry if this arrangement was altered. 1 aim asking the board to please consider these most important facts. Respectfully yours, Sharon Ciarlo Sep 08 05 09:058 Walter Kebalo 860-644-2577 p. 2 RUF�lG fd�t�A e8�flt[/llltlft(�bS�ctc,Ia�Qxt 400 Xe Sea&wk&ex,a lr OW74 September 7, 2005 Town of South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals I am writing in support of Walter and Andrian Kebalo's application for 175 -- Wheeler Road.

It is also a tremendous benefit to have Kebab Electric close with my to walk to work dog. Please approve their application for the variance so that I will not be forced to lase the secure feeling I have living here at Wheeler Mates or having to travel to my position as Office Manager of Kebalo Electric.

Attn: Peter DeMallie 165 South Satellite Road South Windsor, CT 06074 RE: Application#2657-05—KF Properties, LLC, 175 Wheeler Road,A-20 zone Dear Mr. DeMallie: .At the.meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on November 3, 2005, the Board denied.your request for a variance to section 5.6 to allow the office conversion overlay zone to be applied to the property located at 175 Wheeler Road, A-20 zone. The reason for denial is as follows: The application before the Board constitutes a use variance because it seeks the variance of zoning regulation to allow a particular use where it is not otherwise allowed. The Zoning Board of Appeals has no authority granting a use variance when a use variance is allowed within another zone. Very truly yours, ephen Wagner, Chairpe on Zoning Board of Appeals SW:dr cc: Building Department KF Properties, LLC
