ATTACHMENT
TO APPLICATION FOR
TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
August 11, 1995 (revised August 15, 1995)
EXPLANATION OF REQUESTS FOR VARIANCES
GENERAL:
Expansion of the company's existing bagel production and retail facility is necessary to
accommodate business growth and to establish their corporate headquarters in South Windsor.
The current production facility structure is nonconforming with respect to parking requirements
and minimum front yard setback
An existing residential structure located on the same parcel and a wing of the existing production
facility will be demolished as part of the development of this project. As a result, total coverage of
structures on the lot will actually be reduced by approximately 1,150 square feet.
IMPERVIOUS COVERAGE:
Although the Owner does not anticipate use of all of those spaces on a regular basis, the Town
Planner has requested that the Owner maximize the number of on-site parking spaces. To accomplish this,
the amount of impervious area on the site has been compromised. In an attempt to comply with Section
10.2 of the Town's Zoning Regulations regarding maximum impervious coverage, the Owner has looked
into the acquisition of additional adjoining property. However, that cannot be accomplished without
compromising the adjacent property's compliance with Section 10.2.Therefore, the Owner has no choice
but to request a variance for this Section. (Please see Site Data on attached Site Plan.)
FRONT YARD:
The Owner is requesting a variance from Section 10.2 relating to the minimum front yard
requirement (50 feet) in order to permit a loading platform and dock to be constructed. The proposed
loading dock would be built 15 feet 8 inches behind the face of the existing structure, which is located
approximately 24 feet 3 inches from the_front_property line. Therefore, the face of the loading dock
would be approximately 40 feet from the front property line.
It is not possible to relocate the loading area to another portion of the site due to both the effort to
maximize on-site parking and the required layout of the production process. For reasons of safety and free
flow of vehicles on.-site, it is prudent to separate delivery truck tragic from automobile traffic.This
implies a different approach to and from loading areas outside the on-site parking areas. Similarly, it is
not possible to provide for the minimum turning radii required by trucks along the side of the structure
where vehicular parking must be located. These restrictions alone made it necessary for the loading areas
to be located along the front of the structure

SIGNS:
The Owner is requesting a variance from Sections 5.2.4.4 and 5.1.3 relating to the size and number
of signs permitted. Two building signs and a free-standing sign are proposed (see attached drawings.) As
a retail operation located adjacent to a six-lane road on which vehicles travel at higher speeds.
identification signs must be of sufficient size and appropriate location to be noticed. Existing evergreen
trees at the site's southeast comer require that a free-standing sign be installed to help announce the facility
to northbound travelers. Numerous precedents exist along Route 5 for this variance.
• Smaller building signs will not provide sufficient identification;other nearby commercial
structures along Route 5 have significantly larger building signs than the ones proposed with this
application (Please see Building Elevations attached.)
• By itself,the building sign on the building's southern face will not provide adequate visibility to
northbound travelers;a free-standing sign is necessary for this reason, and other nearby commercial
structures have large free-standing signs.
• A reduction in the size of the existing building sign would put the facility at a disadvantage with
respect to other businesses along Route 5, unless those businesses were also required to reduce the
size of their signs to comply with Section 5.1.3.

RE: Appl. #2287-95 - Jerry & Joseph Puiia, d/b/a Between Rounds
19 John Fitch Blvd.
Dear Sirs:
At the September 7, 1995 meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board
of Appeals, the Board approved your requests for a variance to
Section 10.2 to allow 76% impervious coverage and a 10,
variance to Section 10 .2 to allow a 40 , front yard setback.
The hardship noted on the 2 variances granted is that there was
acquired as much land as possible but zoning regulations require
more parking as a result of expansion. There is no more land
available.
The Board denied without prejudice your request for a variance to
Section 5.2 .4 .4 and 5 . 1.3 to allow two additional signs, one free
standing 52 sq. ft. , and a second building sign 23 sq. ft. , at
property located at 19 John Fitch Blvd. , GC Zone.
The reason for the denial on the last variance is because there was
lack of information. The Board felt they needed more information on
the size, shape, location, lighting, wording and more information on
the proposed building signs .
Any new building, or alterations/additions to existing buildings,
may require Plannng & Zoning approval and a building permit prior to
start of construction.
This action is effective September 7, 1995 and upon your filing the
enclosed form in the Town Clerk's office at your own expense.
Very truly yours,
P,Lq
