COMMERCE WAY ASSOCIATES,LLC
APPLICATION TO:
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
Commerce Way Associates;LLC has purchased an industrial parcel in the John Fitch
Industrial Centre, covering 0.68 acre and being the third lot in on the left from
Rye Street. They are proposing to relocate their headquarters, sweeper sales and parts
business, sweeper service-,: and off-site sweeping operation to this site. This includes
construction of a 7,000 square feet building, and associated parking and paved areas.
Given the need to access the building from the side:-,and rear, along with the need to
store and circulate sweepers and other vehicles around the site, we have found this
narrow site requires 70.6% impervious coverage, while 65% is allowed under zoning.
We are therefore requesting a variance(5.6%) to permit construction of the building
and paved areas.
Our peculiar hardships and exceptional difficulties are:
1) The site is long and narrow (100' x 300' ) , posing exceptional difficulty in
accommodating circulation, building access, parking and outdoor equipment storage.
2) Even with this variance, if granted, this still leaves only 50' for circulation
and vehicle storage behind the building.
3) Granting of the variance will enable this site to accommodate the relocation
of this business and jobs to South Windsor, resulting in an addition to the grand list.
4) We have explored many alternatives for site development, and this is the only
viable plan. The other scenarios result in building or site deficiencies which would
terminate the project.
5) The principals in Commerce Way Associates,LLC have purchased other industrial
lots in South Windsor, and fully expect to build other industrial buildings. This
is expected to be the first of several buildings in the planning stages. A meeting
has already taken place with the Town Manager and Economic Development Coordinator to
review our development schedule.

Re: Appl. #2356-97—Commerce Way Associates, LLC, 854 Foster Street Extension request for
a variance to Section 10.2 to allow 70.6% impervious coverage on property located at 170
Commerce Way, I Zone.
Dear Sir/Madam:
At the meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of Appeals held on June 5, 1997, the Board
approved your request for a variance to Section 10.2 to allow 70.6% impervious coverage on property
located at 170 Commerce Way, I Zone.
The Board concluded the hardship on the property to be as follows:
Due to the narrow lot size, there would not be enough room to make a wide turn with the heavy
equipment that is used if more impervious coverage was not granted.
This application is subject to site plan approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission.
These actions are effective upon your filing the enclosed form in the Town Clerk's Office at your own
expense.
Very truly yours,
C
