`variance and Location Approval Application
Route 5 Motor Cars,Inc.
August 10, 2000
Route 5 Motor Cars, Inc. respectfully requests location approval at 1429 John Fitch
Boulevard for a motor vehicle dealer. As per the attached letter dated June 25, 2000,the
Planning and Zoning Commission approved as a permitted use, subject to a subsequent
site-plan application approval,this site's use as a motor vehicle storage and wholesale
sale's operation(general repair of motor vehicles as accessory use to wholesale sale of
motor vehicles).
We are also requesting a variance for a modest increase(7%) above the maximum
impervious coverage limitation. The enclosed plan portrays an impervious coverage of
72%, with the addition of gravel parking to the rear of the site.
Strict adherence to the 65%impervious coverage limitation will cause unusual hardship
and exceptional difficulties for the following reasons:
1) The applicant has entered into an agreement to purchase 1429 John Fitch
Boulevard from Frank Magnani and Joseph R. Gervais subject to securing
approvals from the ZBA and PZC for conducting a wholesale sales/storage
operation on this linear property. Given the very narrow(75 feet) and
elongated nature of the lot,the only area available for parking cars for sale is
to the rear of the building, other than a very limited area on the south side of
the building.
2) Limited parking spaces between the building and the street are only available
for employee and customer parking.
3) All parking of vehicles for sale will be behind the fence enclosure, i.e., behind
the front of the building, and generally out of view of the motoring public.
4) The vast majority of vehicle storage is completely obscured from view as one
traverses John Fitch Boulevard,due to the placement of the two-story building
and the significant drop in elevation to the west of the building.
5) Given the narrowness of the site, steep slopes and the existing building
placement,the parcel has little value unless additional storage capacity is
allowed to the rear of the site.
6) Most of the existing parking, which is paved, is within the state highway right-
of-way(Route 5).
7) The motoring public only views the small parking lot, building, fence and
beginning of the storage area.
8) Existing building is non-conforming to front yard setback due to a taking by
the Connecticut DOT in order to accommodate a Route 5 widening, which
further reduce the land available on the site for parking/storage or any other
use.
9) The parcel is non-conforming to frontage requirements(75' vs. 100'required).
10) Historically the back area of the lot was extensively used by a prior owner-The
Meter&Tank Company, and was cleared.

Re: Appl. #2476-00—Route 5 Motor Cars,Inc., 1429 John Fitch Boulevard,I zone.
To Whom It May Concern:
At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on September 21, 2000, the Board
approved your request for: 1) a variance to section 10.2 to allow 72% impervious coverage (65%
allowed); and 2) a State Hearing under section 14-54 of the General Statutes for location approval of
motor vehicle dealer and general repairers license, at 1429 John Fitch Boulevard, I zone.
The Board concluded the hardship to be the long narrow lot configuration makes it difficult for any
commercial business to have only 65% impervious coverage.
The Board placed the following condition on the impervious coverage:
Subject to site plan approval by the Planning&Zoning Commission.
The Board placed the following conditions on the motor dealer and general repairers license:
1) Subject to site plan approval by the Planning &Zoning Commission.
2) No vehicles to be stored in the front portion of the site.
Any new building, or alteration/additions to existing buildings, requires a building permit prior to start of
construction.
