Application #2652-05— Town of South Windsor, 1492 John Fitch Boulevard, I zone Dear Mr. Shaw: At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on July 7, 2005, the Board approved your request for a 31'variance to section 10.2 for pump station improvements to allow a structure 4'from the front property line, at 1492 John Fitch Boulevard, I zone. The Board concluded the hardship on the property to be as follows: 1. The size and dimension of the property creates difficulty upgrading or making any improvements to the pump station. 2. There is existing piping underground, which dictates the area for the structure to cover. 3. This is a necessary municipal use. 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.

James & Christine Kupchunos 1 Christine Lane South Windsor, CT 06074 RE. Application #2651-05—W. James & Christine Kupchunos, 1 Christine Lane,AA-30 zone Dear Mr. & Mrs. Kupchunos: At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on July 7, 2005, the Board approved your request with conditions for a 24'variance to section 10.2 to allow a shed to be 26'from the front property line, at 1 Christine Lane, AA-30 zone. The Board concluded the hardship to be as follows: 1.. The setback line is larger because this is a corner lot. 2. In the southeast corner of the property there is an easement on both sides of the property along with a catch basin. This creates a very wet situation in that area. 3. The two suitable corners within the proper setbacks to place the shed have drainage issues. The Board placed the following conditions on this application: A vegetative screening must be maintained along the street in order to conceal the shed from the street. 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.

OWNER OF RECORD: James & Christine K. Kupchunos Dated at South.Windsor, Connecticut this 21 st day of July, 2005. r epheA Wagner, Chairp rson PUBLIC ACT#75-317 Received for Record this day of 2005 at VOLUME PAGE TOWN CLERK r VARUNCE PROPOSAL for the Zoning Board of Appeals Town of South Windsor, Connecticut July 7, 2005 as requested by Wesley and Rowena Sedlacek 42 Daisy Lane Timeline Initial SW Town Hall visit for building permit;Sedlaceks fill out the paperwork, Tuesday June 7,2005 present the plans,pay the fee;SW requests measurements for the distance between the east side of the house and retaining wall before approval can be granted. 2nd SW Town Hall visit;Sedlaceks provide the retaining wall measurements—the Wednesday June 8,2005 proposed deck is determined to be within a safe distance from the wall. Building permit is granted. Monday June 13,2005 Materials are ordered. Saturday June 25,2005 Existing deck is removed. Monday June 27,2005 Six(6)holes are dug for the concrete piers;first inspection is requested from SW. Tuesday June 28,2005 AM:Holes are inspected and passed by John Flannery. PM:Concrete is poured. Wednesday June 29,2005 Sedlaceks receive a call from Joy O'Connor saying the deck should not be built due to setback limitations. Sedlaceks suspend all construction. Thursday June 30,2005 Third SW Town Hall visit;Sedlaceks request clarification on building permit process and reasons for revoking the permit. SW puts the variance request onto the July 7th Zoning Board of Appeals agenda. Claim 1: The denial of the building variance for the deck would cause a finical hardship. In the current state,we have two, 10-inch diameter concrete footings which have been pored in the area outside of our building line. In the event that a variance is not granted,these piers will need to be destroyed and removed, and the lawn will need to be replaced in this area. A price of$500 has been quoted for this task. Further,upon receipt of the building permit,our carpenter ordered all of the lumber necessary for the deck and had it delivered at our premises. In the event that a variance is not granted,a large portion of this lumber can not be used and will be a lost cost to Rowena and Wesley. This portion of the lumber is approximately$700. Third,new plans would need to be drafted and re-submitted to the town incurring both the drafting costs and the submittal costs. Claim 2: Northern Direction is only buildable direction for deck expansion. The pre-existing(now demolished)deck was an 8x 10 deck off of the back(East)side of our house. This deck as extremely small and could only comfortably hold a Bar-B-Que grill and 2 adults. The rear of our house is the nic- est view overlooking the trees and stream. In order to expand our usability we decided to increase the size of our deck. The back of our house is Eastern facing. Just 15 feet off the back of our house is a retaining wall with a very steep hill descending to the stream. A deck can not be extended more then 10 feet in this direction without bordering the retaining wall and having the concrete piers in close proximity to the steep grade. The southern direction of our house has several terraced landscape steps which would make concrete footings very difficult to manage. Further,due to the proximity and height of the trees on the eastern side,the sun only shines on the east face of our house for a few hours a day. However,the northern side of the house is illuminated for many more hours each day. For these reasons Rowena and Wesley designed a deck with extended in the Northern direction,extending 10 feet north of the house. However,the northern direction is the dimension which crosses the building line. Therefore,if a variance is de- nied,our deck is limited in the North,East and Southern directions,leaving no option but to return to a small deck. Claim 3: The Northern extending area of the deck is low impact. Our unit,42,is a corner end unit,meaning it is the most Northern and eastern unit in Peachbrook. There is no other construction North of our house. There is the 40-foot setback from our property line and then a 25-foot buffer area to the Peachbrook property line. The proposed deck,including the portion that extends past the build- ing line,is not encroaching onto any one else's land. In fact,the deck is not visible from either of the homes of our two immediate Peachbrook neighbors,and is completely non-visible by Peachbrook's neighbors(Church,Police Station,Plumb Ridge). Also,the deck is not visible by any public roads or by the private roads within Peachbrook. Conclusion Wesley and Rowena Sedlacek followed every rule and process in building a new deck in full compliance with South Windsor Building Code. Our decision to build a new deck was not made lightly. Due to the cost of lumber and labor, a new deck is a serious financial undertak- ing. We had to financially plan for this deck for two years. We also created our deck proposal very carefully to maximize the beauty of our surroundings while being respectful to Peachbrook and our neighbors. Now, due to an error in the South Windsor building/planning/zoning department(s)not only is our ideal deck in jeopardy, we stand to loose a large sum of money in wasted lumber and labor as well as labor to undue work that has already proceeded. We appreciate that South Windsor takes zoning laws very seriously to protect every resident's right to their land and to protect homeowners from ambitious builders, developers and neighbors. However, in this case we feel that the magnitude of our violation is so modest and that the alternative is so unnecessarily unfair that a variance should be granted. l2NL.,i o S t 2� Iz QL -_-_- I!
