COPY CERTIFIED MAIL 7006 2150 0005 7640 3794 June 26, 2007 Joseph Lawson 465 Bukland Hills Dr Manchester, CT 06109 Dear Mr. Lawson Re: Appl#07-33P-Central Imports Please be advised that the Regular Meeting of the Planning & Zoning Commission in the above referenced matter has been scheduled for Tuesday, July 10, 2007 at 7:30 in the Madden Room of the South Windsor Town Hall, 1540 Sullivan Avenue. Someone must be present at the hearing to represent the application. One sign advertising the hearing must be posted on the property for ten (10) consecutive days prior to the hearing and must be clearly visible from a town street. Please have one sign posted on 713 John Fitch Boulevard by June 29, 2007. Signs can be obtained in the Planning Department. Sincerely, Maria D. Acevedo Administrative Secretary Central Imports Auto Sales Site Plan 07-33P 1. Request for site plan approval and used car dealer license for property located at 713 John Fitch Boulevard, GC zone. This site has previously been used for motor vehicle sales, with the most recent approval granted in January 2006. Historically, the site has been used for the storage of vehicles; and the site has generally been in violation of its former approved site plan. This new applicant is now requesting to reutilize the site for used car sales, focusing primarily on the wholesale end of business, and to bring the site into compliance with the existing site plan. 2. The existing site plan, prepared in 1976, shows parking spaces for 24 vehicles for sale. The gas pumps shown on the plan are no longer there. A variance was granted in 1981 to Route 5 motor cars, the previous tenant, to allow 15 cars to be parked in front of the building line; the applicant is showing 13 spaces. As is common with Route 5 sites, the ROW for Route 5 is very wide, and the applicant's property line is about 50 feet away from the edge of Route 5. If vehicles are parked in front of the building line, they need to at least be on the applicant's property, not the State ROW. 3. The existing building is nonconforming to current zoning regulations, with a 33' setback, 50' required under today's regulations. There are no building additions or modifications proposed with this application other than replacement of broken windows and the addition of signage 4. Site size is just over a half acre. We note that, while the site plan shows delineated parking spaces, the majority of the site actually is gravel, and the areas in which vehicles are to be parked are for the most part indistinguishable from the remainder of the site. 5. This site is currently not landscaped. The applicant has proposed to clean up the site by removing junk cars and debris on site—paint the light poles and add shrubbery around the building and planters around the site. These items should be noted on the plans. 6. One major issue we tend to have with car dealerships is noncompliant lighting and use of spotlights. Is there any new lighting proposed for the site? 7. The new sign regulations allow both a building sign and a freestanding sign. The building sign would be allowed to be about 60 square feet, and the freestanding sign would be allowed to be 24 square feet. 1 8. There currently is no dumpster on site. Does the applicant intend to add a dumpster? The applicant should be advised that all dumpsters must be placed on a concrete pad and screened. 9. There is no 100-year floodplain on this site. There are no regulated wetlands on site. IO.Public water and sewer currently service the site. WPCA approval is not required. 11.If this application is approved, the Planning Department has no other requested modifications. 2 ,OWN Sf4 o- r ��CJrZll12 O-P Sot� :. • w� 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE • SOUTH WINDSOR, CT 06074 SOR-CO TELEPHONE (860) 644-2511 CERTIFIED MAIL 7006 2150 0005 7640 3930 July 12, 2007 Joe Lawson Central Imports 465 Buckland Hills Drive Manchester CT 06040 Dear Mr. Lawson: Re: App107-33P-Central Imports Auto Sales We are pleased to advise you that the Planning & Zoning Commission voted on 7/10/07 to approve with modifications App107-33P.

All bonds must be in one of the forms described in the enclosed Bond Policy. 3. All free standing signs and/or building signs require the issuance of a sign permit before they are erected. 4. Any dumpsters must be placed on a concrete pad and screened. 5. All new site lighting must conform with zoning regulations. 6. Remove the 13 parking spaces in front of the building line. 7. Lawn to be established in DOT right of way and planters to be shown on plans.
