Appl 08-33P, SAXON MAJOR HOME OCCUPATION 1. Request for a 5-year approval for a major home occupation under Article 7 for a computer repair business to be known as "Saxon Computer Center" on property located at 118 Steep Road, A-3 0 zone. The center will be located in the garage area of the single family home. There will still be adequate room to accommodate one vehicle. 2. The reasons for requiring PZC approval are to ensure that: • The home occupation is clearly secondary to the use of the building for dwelling purposes; • the home occupation is compatible with other permitted residential uses in the residential district; • the residential character of the dwelling and the neighborhood are maintained and preserved; and • all residents have freedom from excessive noise, excessive traffic, nuisances, fire hazards, offensive odors and pollutants, and other possible effects of commercial uses being conducted in residential areas. 3. Performance criteria that must be met include: • Maximum of 25% of the floor area can be used for the occupation; • Occupation cannot be visible from the outside of the dwelling unit; • No entrance or exit may be added solely for the occupation; • No more than one non-resident employee is allowed; • The occupation cannot create a volume of passenger or commercial traffic that is inconsistent with the normal level of traffic on the street; • All parking needs must be met on site; and • The Commission may require screening of additional parking from the street and from adjacent residential properties. 4. The applicant has provided information for determining compliance with the regulations. She is not proposing to have any employees. The computer center will offer services by appointment only with business hours Tuesday—Friday 9 am— 5 pm. The applicant has indicated that most work would be conducted off-site and drop off service will be offered for major repairs. Staff are wondering how many times a week customer drop-off might occur. v i PERMITS/INSP PAYMENT RECPT#: 20261261 TOWN OF SOUTH WINDSOR 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE SOUTH WINDSOR CT 06074 DATE: 06/26/08 TIME: 15:03 CLERK: mariadace DEPT: CUSTOMER#: 0 PARCEL: CHG: PZ PLANNING AND ZO 95.00 AMOUNT PAID: 95.00 PAID BY: PAYMENT METH: CHECK 257 REFERENCE: A AMT TENDERED: 95.00 AMT APPLIED: 95.00 CHANGE: .00 Page 1 of 1 Lipe, Michele From: Shaw, Fred Sent: Friday,July 11,2008 3:47 PM To: Lipe, Michele Subject: RE: 118 Steep Road Major Home Occupation Application Thanks. 1 was attempting to understand whether there would be an appreciable amount of wastewater generated by the home business to warrant a WPCA application for approval and an additional commercial user charge. It doesn't appear that it would be necessary.
