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 the minimum front yard
setback. The Owner wishes to renovate the existing structure and to construct conforming additions to that
structure.
FRONT YARD:
The Owner is requesting a variance from Section 10.2 relating to the minimum front yard
requirement (50 feet) to recognize the non-conforming front yard of the existing structure, which is
located approximately 24 feet 4 inches from the front yard property line. While Section 3.10 of the
Zoning Regulations permits (under most circumstances) reconstruction or repair of damaged
nonconforming structures within 18 months of such damage, it would be beneficial to the Owner if a
variance were granted so as to eliminate any future risk related to reconstruction should damage occur.
SIGNS:
The Owner is requesting a variance from Sections 5.2.4.4 and 5.1.3 relating to the number of signs
permitted. One building sign and one 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 corner and large willow trees on adjacent property to the north require that a free-standing sign
be installed to help announce the facility to travelers going both northbound and southbound. Numerous
precedents exist along Route 5 for this variance.
• The proposed building sign will be approximately T-0" high x 29'-9" long(or about 60 square
feet.) Given a building frontage of about 93 lineal feet, a building sign of up 187 square feet is
permitted under current regulations.
• By itself, the building sign will not provide adequate visibility to vehicles travelling at higher
speeds because it will be partially obscured by existing trees to the north and south.Other nearby
commercial properties have large free-standing signs. The proposed free-standing sign will be
4'-0" high x 10'-0" long(or about 40 square feet.) The Owner believes the proposed size of the
sign is appropriate for its location and purpose. It is our understanding that a free-standing sign of
similar size has recently been approved by the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals for a site
near the Owner's property.

Gentlemen:
Re: Application #2297-95
At the October 5, 1995 Regular Meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals, your
application for a variance to Section 10.2 and 5.1.3 of the zoning regulations to allow existing
24' front yard (50' allowed) and to allow additional free standing sign on property located at 19
John Fitch Boulevard, GC zone was approved.
The Board noted your hardship to be that the site is a non-conforming lot. Also, because of the
speed of traffic on Route 5, the larger sign will enhance the visibility for cars passing by making
it a safer situation.
Any new building or alterations/additions to existing buildings, require a building permit prior to
start of construction.
This action is effective upon your filing of the enclosed form in the Town Clerk's office at your
own expense.
Very truly yours,
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Robert W. Warren, Chairman
