Windsor, CT 06074 (860)640-4064 www.iandscivil.com September 17, 2014 Michele Lipe, Director of Planning Town of South Windsor 1540 Sullivan Avenue South Windsor, CT 06074 Re: Cerone In-law Addition, 26 Brewster Road; Special Exception The Cerone family is seeking to construct an In-law addition for their home at 26 Brewster Road. This application requires a special exception because the proposed size exceeds the 900 sf maximum allowed by the Zoning Regulations. Awaiver is being requested to allow for the addition to be 1,132 sf. Section 7.1.7 of the regulations allows for a waiver for the size upon determination that there will be minimal adverse impacts on existing uses in the area; that surrounding property values will be conserved and the character of the neighborhood will not be unduly disrupted; and that due consideration to preserve historic factors has been demonstrated. We expect minimal adverse impacts on the existing uses in the area, as #56 Brewster Road was approved to construct a 1-BR in-law addition with plans signed off by the Planning Department on 8/5/13. The Planning & Zoning Commission did not have to review this application as the proposed size for their 1-BR in-law was 895 sf, 5 sf below the 900 sf threshold. The addition at#56 Brewster also proposed a second garage capable of parking 2 vehicles. This existing in-law addition is located 2 doors down on the same side of the street. The Cerone's are seeking to construct a 2-BR in-law apartment for Mrs. Cerone's parents to reside in. Each parent has medical issues and will each have their own bedroom. This house proposes a 2-BR in-law addition with 237 sf more than the house two doors down which was approved for 1-BR. This size difference is essentially the same as a 15'x15' room. This Commission approved a similar application for a 940 sf in-law addition, located at 35 Vintage Lane, in July of 2003.A subsequent approval was given for this addition in September of 2003 to increase the size to 1,100 sf to allow the area to be handicap accessible. The Cerone's also wish to provide an addition that offers accessibility.As their residence is a split level home, additional measures will be employed to allow for accessibility such as chair lifts that navigate stairways. As for property values, current records from the assessor's office were reviewed and found that the current property value for#44 Brewster Road, which is adjacent to both the existing in-law addition and the subject property of this application, had not changed from the previous years appraisal. The existing home was constructed in 1974, therefore, we believe there are no historic factors to be preserved. That being said, David Goslin, a local architect has designed an addition to enhance the existing features and character of the home. The site itself offers challenges for any addition, including the shape of the lot which is on a curve, which brings the front yard setback further back into the site as it extends away from the house. In addition, there is an existing in-ground pool located directly behind the existing home. Mr. Goslin has designed an addition that works within the bounds of these challenges, and enhances the aesthetics of the circa 1970's home. The applicants are anxious to proceed with construction of this in-law addition to ensure proper care for their parents in the near term, while allowing them to remain in their established South Windsor community.

Bart Pacekonis, Chairman i i MEMORANDUM To: Michele Lipe, Town Planner From: Jeffrey Doolittle, Town Engineer Date: 9/22/14 RE: Application 14-44P—Cerone In-Law Apt, 26 Brewster Rd Engineering has reviewed the plan for the above application and has the following comments: 1. 4e proposed driveway to the addition is narrow and will be difficult for 2 cars to maneuver where it bends toward the new garage. This driveway should be widened on the down hill side from the bend to the sidewalk so it is easier for 2 cars to use this driveway. 2. Where will the utilities run into the proposed in-law apartment and how will they be connected to existing utilities in and to the existing house? Please contact me if you have any questions. 1 Cerone In-Law Apartment PH 9/23/14 1. Request for a Special Exception to Section 7.17 for a size waiver to construct a 1,132 sq ft apartment (900 sq ft allowed), on property located at 26 Brewster Road, A-30 zone 2. The PZC for�����a 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. 3. The proposed in-law apartment is 1,132 square feet. The-a . The applicant has provided the site layout showing the new addition in conformance with zoning, elevations showing the addition, as well as floor plans for the addition —both as an in law apartment and then when it is converted back to single family living space. 4. The elevation shows that the addition will be adding an additional two garage and a split drive along the frontage —the Commission should decide if this elevation is consistent with the appearance of a single family house as required. It appears that all other zoning requirements can be met. 5. If this application is approved, the Commission may grant approval for up to five years. At the end of the permit period, if the family situation has not changed, the applicant may request renewal by staff. Staff would recommend the two standards approval conditions for this apartment: • When addition is no longer used as an apartment, the kitchen is to be removed and the living area must be converted into other single family living space • This is a family situation and this approval does not make the property income producing. If the family situation should change, the home will have to be restored to a one-family dwelling unit. tOW N Sf4 C x • �° 1540 SULLIVAN AVENUE • SOUTH WINDSOR, CT 06074 r�OSOR-CO TELEPHONE (860) 644-2511 CERTIFIED MAIL 7011 1570 0000 63371037 September 25, 2014 Lori S.
