Objective: To obtain approval by the zoning board to change my current general repair lic
ense to a
used car dealers license at unit 12 of 1257 John Fitch Blvd. South Windsor CT.
About Us: We are a business that specializes in Porsche repair. Our customers are Porsche
enthusiasts that look Musante Motorsports for guidance and recommendations for their specialty
vehicle. We have a state of the art facility that is capable of performing almost any repair these cars
require. We have used the name Musante Motorsports for over 25 years and it is well known
throughout the Porsche Community.
Where: 1257 Unit 12 John Fitch Blvd South Windsor,CT
• Easy highway access from I-84, I-91 via 1-291 to route 5
• Just 10 minutes from downtown Hartford
• 3.2 miles from I-291
Why here?
This location offers many advantages. First off, I operate my existing licensed repair business
here. Changing to a dealers license will offer us the opportunity to better service our existing customer
base. Customers constantly ask us to find them a vehicle or sell their car for them. This is the primary
reason for the request for a used car dealers license. It's in a quiet industrial complex that is esthetically
pleasing. Unit 12 already offers an amazing repair facility specialized to service Porsches. South
Windsor has been a great location for this business because it is accessible to both Boston and New
York City and also my customers are willing to travel 100 plus miles to bring their car here. 1257 John
Fitch Blvd is conveniently located only 10 minutes from Hartford and a short commute for my
employees and I via all the nearby interstates.
Zoning: Industrial
Site Plot: See attached diagram.
Site Description: Unit 12 is of 1257 is separated by cinderblock walls. Unit 12 has 10xl4 overhead
drive-in doors that leads into a 5400 square foot garage that is capable of storing up to 18 vehicles.
About Inventory I plan to sell:
■ My inventory will be all high-end vehicles. We will be specializing in selling
Porsches
o How they will be stored
■ Vehicles ready for sale will be stored indoors
■ If a car is being sold or viewed it will be in the front of the garage bay for the
customer to pick up or test-drive
Use of the office:
• To conduct administrative work
o Handle the companies bookkeeping
_ __ �- iv vav vvvasivv ♦.iGii ti/Giu GGJ111V1U __. __... _. _.
■ Completing necessary paperwork
o Use the internet
■ Post cars for sale
■ Look for vehicles to purchase.
Traffic:
• Customers
o Since my showroom is online customers will only visit the location by
appointment to test-drive a vehicle or pick up a purchased vehicle
o I am expecting about 5 additional visits per week.
• Other
o Since Unit 12 is the 2Id to last unit in the complex I will advise my customers to
drive slowly as they drive to the end of the building.
Hours of Operation:
• I will be available by appointment only and most appointments will be held between the
hours of 9am-5pm Monday-Friday.
