Special Exception form to goon file in the office of the town clerk CARMON To: South Windsor Planning&Zoning Commission COMMUNITY FUNERAL Re: Samsel&Carmon Funeral Home/John C. Carmon, Carmon& HOMES Company request for a second apartment in an RC Zone, which is permitted by Special Exception. My brother Bill and I respectfully request you to allow us a second efficiency apartment at the funeral home at 419 Buckland Road. We have owned this property for 25 years and have operated our V community funeral home for the benefit of the families and residents of Administrative Offices South Windsor for all of this time. We have recently complied with the Carmon Windsor newest fire code for places of assembly and made approved renovations P.O.Box 6 to our building at a cost of over$25,000 in less than 60 days. 807 Bloomfield Avenue Windsor,CT 06095 860-688-2200 Previously the Samsel Family occupied a three-bedroom apartment when John,Terri, and their two sons lived there. Our proposal is to Ladd-Turkington &Carmon have no more people living on the second floor of the funeral home and P.O.Box 843 actually have only two apartments which each would have only one 551 Talcottville Road,Rte 83 Vernon,CT 06066 bedroom in each apartment. There would be no more space dedicated 860-875-3536 to apartments and there would be no visible difference from the outside. Carmon of Avon We would like to have two responsible people living above the funeral 301 Country Club Road Avon,CT 06001 home so that with vacations and time away there would always be 860-673-8610 someone there. Our licensed staff are not readily employable from the South Windsor area and it is necessary for us to relocate people out of Carmon Poquonock our of the area who we hope will relocate permanently to South 1816 Poquonock Avenue Windsor. We need to provide them with affordable housing in this Poquonock,CT 06064 transition so these apartments are critical to that end. The staff are also Hayes-Huinng&Carmon on site and available on an emergency basis to serve the community. 364 Salmon Brook Street Also, a new intern/apprentice who recently graduated from Mortuary Granby,CT 06035 College does not have the resources to buy a home or even fmd an Nicholson&Carmon affordable rent in South Windsor. This gives us that opportunity to help 443 East Street them relocate here. Suffield,CT 06078 We have met virtually all of the 13 points of the design criteria of 4.1.8 Samsel&Carmon for an exception in this Mixed Use Zone. 419 Buckland Road South Windsor,CT 06074 We respectfully request a favorable ruling on this request to help us retain and provide affordable housing for our staff and to allow us to Ladd Homestead p g 19 Ellington Avenue continue to serve the South Windsor community in the highest and best Rockville,CT 06066 wa Mt.Laurel Crematory 807 Bloomfield Avenue ince , Windsor,CT 06095 c ! 860-688-2200 C— on?' G 0l SELECTED Independent Y FUNERAL HOMES Appl #09-07P, Carmon Funeral Home Public Hearing, 3/10/09 Planning Department Report 1. Request for special exception to Section 5.7, Mixed Uses in Commercial/Office zones for the approval of a second apartment in the existing funeral home on property located at 419 Buckland Road, RC zone. There is an existing apartment currently on the second floor. 2. The stated purpose of this regulation is to increase the supply of affordable rental dwelling units in South Windsor by allowing construction of dwelling units in commercial buildings in certain commercial/office zones as a Special Exception use. 3. The Commission can approve a Special Exception for mixed residential/commercial use only if it finds that the following criteria are satisfactorily met. a. There is a balance between neighborhood acceptance and community needs; b. The existing/proposed commercial/office uses are not incompatible with residential uses; c. The internal traffic circulation pattern is designed to minimize safety hazards for residents, particularly with respect to access into and out of the building; d. Site design adequately reflects that residents' needs are accommodated as an integral part of the site design (e.g., recreation, parking, storage, access) such that the site functions as an integrated site; e. The proposed mixed use furthers the purpose stated in Section 5.7.1; f. Present and proposed utilities, streets, drainage system, and other improvements have adequate capacity to accommodate the proposed use; g. There is no undue concentration of high-density residential development in any area/neighborhood. The Commission shall grant all approvals subject to such conditions and safeguards as will carry out the expressed purpose of these regulations. 4. Water Pollution Control Authority approval is not required. 5. This is a commercial use and the owner must provide for trash collection. 6.
