Re: Unpermitted shed
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Soule:
In response to a complaint, I have been by your property and have seen a shed
which does not appear to be permitted. Please be aware that the Town of South
Windsor Zoning regulations restrict the location of such structures.
The regulations, in Table 3.I,2A, Residential Area, Density and Dimensional
Requirements, states that no buildings can be erected except in conformance
with the above referenced table. If your shed is larger than two hundred square
feet, you will need to file a building permit as well as obtain zoning approval for
the location of the shed. If the shed is two hundred square feet or smaller, you
will need only a zoning permit. Either permit will require the shed to be located
in accordance with the setbacks noted in Table 3.1.2A. As you are a corner lot,
the property along Oakland Road and Slater Road are considered front yards.
I have enclosed the pertinent section of the regulations for your reference as
well as an application form for small structures. Please file the appropriate
permit application, demonstrating compliance with the zoning setbacks
by August 22, 2016 to avoid enforcement action from this office. If you
have any questions, call meat (860) 644-2511, extension 251. Thank you for
your attention to this request.
Sincerely,
� . t? o

Re: Unpermitted shed
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Soule:
I sent you a letter on August 8, 2016 regarding the shed located on your
property. In response to that letter, you came in and explained that the
shed had been there for many years, and you had refurbished it recently.
Because the shed had not been identified as unpermitted for at least 3
years, the structure became a legal, non-conforming structure. As such,
the regulations in Section 2. 14 Non-Conforming Buildings and Uses allow
for the reconstruction or repair of a non-conforming structure to address
damage or wear and tear, but not for any enlargement of the building
without first obtaining a permit. A complaint was filed on September 14,
2016 which states that your current shed is larger than the original
structure.
Based on the aerial photographs from 2009, it appears that the original
shed was approximately 8 feet by 10 feet. Please submit documentation
that the current shed is not any larger than the previous structure.
I have enclosed the pertinent section of the regulations for your
reference. Please submit documentation regarding the size of the original
and current shed by September 30, 2016. If you have any questions, call
me at (860) 644-2511, extension 251 . Thank you for your attention to this
request.
