Dear Zoning Board Members;
My family and I are requesting a variance to section 11.2 of the Zoning Board
Regulations. We would like to turn our garage into living space without adding on
another garage; however we do intend on adding a garage to the property within a three
year period.
We live in a split level home where I run a family day care. I am currently using an
upstairs bedroom for one playroom and the downstairs area for another because our
living space is limited. I have been open for about 10 months now, and'I have found that
the level of stress for the children and myself could be decreased if I had the whole day
care in one area. My downstairs playroom would be perfect if I could open up the garage
and utilize it as living space. I have many gates throughout the house and I constantly
need to lock and unlock them depending on what level we are on at the time.
I have gone to school for a higher level of accreditation for family daycare. During my
evaluation my advisor, Beth Reichert, of Manchester Community College commented
that my program would greatly improve if I could hold daycare on one level instead of
three. For this reason, I have chosen to make the improvements to my home, if you
approve, before I finalize my testing for my Child Development Associate.
There are many other homes in our neighborhood that have opened up their downstairs
without adding on a garage, some of them are as follows:
The Kudla Family at 37 Farmstead Drive
The Hertel Family at 45 Farmstead Drive
The Family at 119 Farmstead Drive
The Family at 9 Brook Street
The Family at 57 Brook Street
The Family at 72 Brook Street
The Family at 134 Brook Street
The Family at 53 Overlook Road
The Family at 140 Overlook Road
I
I
For this reason I feel that our consideration would not affect the character of the
neighborhood.
My family and I love the town of South Windsor, and we love the neighborhood that we
currently live in. If allowed to make these changes, our lives would greatly improve and
my day care children would benefit as well. Thank you for your consideration.
I'
Sincerely,
f

j Dear Sir or Madam:
I
A neighbor of ours, Kimberly Sullivan (at 105 Farmstead Drive), is in the process of
applying for a variance in a zoning regulation (section 11.2) which prevents her from
converting her garage to living space. We live directly across the street from her house and
we wanted to let you know that we have no problem with the changes she would like to
make. For one thing, there are several other similar houses in the neighborhood that don't
have garages for their cars, and I don't believe that this takes away from the character of the
neighborhood. Second of all , I am assuming that the purpose of this new rule is to lessen
the number of cars parked outside the houses here. Most of our immediate neighbors
(including the Sullivan) are not using their garages for cars, but as extra storage space.
Therefore the conversion of their garage does not in any way change the aesthetics for me.
Sincerely,
1

Re; Kim Sulliyan's zoning application
Expansion of playroom into garage
Dear zoning Board of Appeals;
As the Coordinator of the Early Childhood Education Program at
Manchester Community College, I observed Kim Sullivan's family child care
program at her home in South Windsor in July and November 2000, as part of
the college's Child Development Associate (CDA) Credential Training Program.
Kim works hard to meet the children's needs, interests, and abilities. The
children are lucky to have someone as conscientious and caring as Kim In their
lives.
However, there is not enough space on one floor for all of the materials
and activities for the children. Consequently, she must use activity and storage
areas can three levels. The children have to move to different areas on different
floors for different activities. If Kim had one large playroom in which all of the
children's materials and activities were arranged, children could change
activities within the.same playroom. It would be safer and easier to supervise
the children on one floor. Children would have more time for activities without
the interruption of moving from floor to floor. The daily schedule would be
much less complicated for Kim and the children.
I hope that you will allow Kim to expand her playroom into
ta the garage.
It would be a great improvement in her program.
Sincerely yours,
Beth Reichert

Re: Appl. #2495-01 —Kimberly Sullivan, 105 Farmstead Drive,A-20 zone
Dear Ms. Sullivan:
At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on February 1, 2001, the Board

existing garage without adding a new garage(a garage is required for a single family house) at 105
