Signature of A icant 16ature of perty Owner (See reverse side for additional information) Robert & Kimberly Austin Apr 10, 1995 162H Homestead St Manchester Ct, 06040 Tel 646-2339 We, Robert & Kimberly Austin are requesting that we be allowed to use the property at 64 Morgan Farms Dr as an in-law setup for the following reasons : The parents of Kimberly (Robert and Arline Jackson) are now in their mid 70 ' s and it is becoming increasingly more difficult for them to care for the home they presently occupy in Wallingford and to care for themselves. We presently reside in Manchester and work in Hartford and" due to the distance involved in traveling to . Wallingford the number of times necessary to care for a home and parents make this an undesirable option. Three (3) years ago Robert was diagnosed with prostate cancer and due to this condition may soon demand surgery and radiation treatments. A process that would leave him in a seriously weakened and limited position. As their only child, it is our desire to care for them during these difficult times . We had looked at other properties with this arrangement in mind, but found none as suitable as this property. The living quarters are all on one level, the bathroom has a handicapped accessible shower. Other options in living arrangements required the use of stairs by Robert and Arline or some other inconviences. This property is ideally suited for our needs in both privacy and proximity. It is our understanding that the present owners were granted a permit for the very same reason. At such time .as Robert and Arline no longer reside there, the. rooms would be absorbed into our living space with them being used as a family room, a study, and guest rooms . Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Robert N. Austin Kimbery C.

Request for renewal of a Temporary q p ry & Conditional permit for an in-law apartment at 64 Morgan Farms Drive, A-20 zone. The original ZBA approval was granted on May 11, 1995, and this Commission renewed it in 1997. The PZC approval for the in-law apartment imposed the standard approval condition: • This approval is for an in-law apartment for a family member/relative only. When the in-law apartment is no longer occupied by a relative of the family, the apartment cannot be treated as a second dwelling unit. Instead, the kitchen must be removed and the living area must be converted into other living space for the main dwelling. 1. The PZC adopted a new in-law apartment regulation on 1/28/98 including a definition of an in-law apartment as well as specific criteria for the unit; and providing for a 5-year permit period. These criteria include: ♦ The in-law apartment cannot be larger than 900 sq ft or 40% of the gfa (whichever is smaller ♦ the entire structure must maintain the appearance of a single family dwelling; ♦ off street parking for three vehicles must be accommodated; ♦ adequate water and sewage disposal must be provided; and ♦ the owner of the dwelling units must occupy either the in-law apartment or the main dwelling unit The Commission may waive one or more of the provisions above (except the requirement that an owner live in the apartment or house) after determining: ♦ There will be minimum adverse impact on existing uses in the area; ♦ Surrounding property values will be conserved and the character of the neighborhood will not be unduly disrupted; ♦ Due consideration to preservation of historic factors has been demonstrated. 2. The application indicates that this in-law apartment is approximately 900 square feet; it was previously approved when there were no criteria. If this application is approved, the Commission may grant approval for up to five years. The applicant will be asked via letter to reaffirm ownership of the property every two years. At the end of the permit period, if the family situation has not changed, the applicant may request renewal by staff. tOwN af4 ` 4 u -owno�South � 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE•SOUTH WINDSOR, CT 06074-2786 SOR•Co AREA CODE 860/644-2511 FAX 860/644-3781 May 14, 1999 CERTIFIED MAIL Robert & Kimberly Austin 64 Morgan Farms Drive South Windsor, CT 06074 Dear Robert & Kimberly: Re: Appl #99-24P, In law apartment renewal Please be advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission at its May 11, 1999, meeting approved the above-referenced request for a temporary and conditional permit to allow an in law apartment on property at 64 Morgan Farms Drive, A-20 zone.
