I have completed my review of the current Connecticut Public Health Code,more specifically 19-13-13100a,pertaining to Building conversions/changes in use, building additions, garages/accessory structures, swimming pools, sewage disposal area preservation, and have summarized my findings below. 19-13-B100a.(b)Building conversion, change in use: A code complying area has been identified on the site(see attached Improvement Location Plan, dated 1-25-08)as required when proposing a"change in use"which is defined as..."any structural, mechanical or physical change to a building which allows the occupancy to increase; or the activities within the building to expand or alter such that,when the building is fully utilized,the design flow or required effective leaching area will increase."The plan has been revised to lengthen the previously approved reserve septic area by 16 ft. Calculations have been provided on the plan that document the ability to provide 100% reserve area for a 5-bedroom system. The design flow for the current 4 bedroom system is 600 gallons per day. The design flow for a 5 bedroom system is 675 gpd. Therefore, with the 1 bedroom addition,the design flow for the residence is increased only 12.5%, requiring no expansion of the existing sewage disposal system,or installation of a new sewage disposal system. • 19-13-B100a.(c)Building additions: See attached plan identifying a code complying area for 100%reserve septic area. The code complying area identifies property located within 25 ft of the existing septic system, including the septic tank,and restricts this area from any proposed development, including the proposed addition. Should a portion of the building addition be constructed with no footing drain, (i.e.-slab construction/garage, etc.),this would allow encroachment into the delineated code complying area in proximity of the existing septic tank only(to be no closer than 10' from the existing septic tank)depicted as the hatched area on the attached map. • In order to obtain a permit to construct an"in-law"and/or"accessory apartment",the Town of South Windsor has additional regulations that need to be met. All criteria required for this permit can be found in the current Zoning Regulations,under"Article 7 Special Regulations". I am including a copy of this article for your use.

The plan must show the proposed In-Law Apartment and indicate if it will have foundation drains or not. If the foundation does not have a drain and it will be an eight(8) foot wall then the plan must say "no foundation drain". 2. If the foundation is to be four(4) feet in depth, than please have the plan state it as such. 3. Please change the required effective leaching area for this proposal to 742.5, (660+82.5).

Owners of the property must reside in the apartment or the main dwelling unit.Reaffirmation of occupancy by owner will be required every two years. This will be done via a letter from the Planning Department requesting the reaffirmation of occupancy. 3.

If public sewers are not available, no building or part thereof shall be altered so as to enable its continuous occupancy by performing any building conversion, nor shall there be a change in use unless the local director of health has determined that after the conversion or change in use, a code-complying area exists on the lot for installation of a subsurface sewage disposal system. The determination by the local director of health of whether a code-complying area exists on the property shall be based upon analysis of existing soil data. If soil data is not available, the property owner shall perform soil testing. The property owner or the owner's authorized agent shall submit design plans or a sketch to demonstrate how the property contains a code-complying area that can accommodate a sewage disposal system.
