RE: Appl. #2256-95 - Town of South Windsor, 10 Ridgefield Drive
Dear Marcia:
At the June 1, 1995 meeting of the South Windsor Zoning Board of
Appeals, the Board approved a variance to section 11. 2 to allow 1768
sq. ft. house ( 1900 sq. ft. required) at 10 Ridgefield Drive.
This application was approved with the following condition:
Live screening to be placed the full length of the driveway.
Spacing of the live screening is to be 10 ft. apart and 8
ft. from the property line. Hemlocks are not to be used.
This action is effective June 1, 1995 and upon your filing the
enclosed form in the Town Clerk's office at your own expense.
Very truly yours,
Cif
Robert W. Warren, Chairman
Zoning Board of Appeals

MEMO
From: Marcia A. Banach

To: Ralph Alexander

As I indicated in my phone call to you yesterday, I need your advice to assist in the resolution of a
problem.
Zoning and building permits were issued for the construction of a new single-family house in Fall 1994.
The house is now virtually completed, and the builder will be requesting the Certificate of Occupancy in
time for the closing, within the next week or so.
A neighbor called this week to complain that she thinks the house is too small for the neighborhood.
Upon checking the building permit, we have discovered that the house does not meet the minimum
square footage requirements in that zone (the area is short by about 130 square feet).
Since this is clearly an administrative error by our staff, the dilemma is how to issue the C.O. now that
we know a zoning violation exists. CGS 8-3(f) requires that, "No building permit or certificate of
occupancy shall be issued for a building, use or structure subject to the zoning regulations of a
municipality without certification in writing by the official charged with the enforcement of such
regulations that such building, use or structure is in conformity with such regulations or is a valid
nonconforming use under such regulations."
The builder has indicated that he is willing to finish an area in the basement (which is a walk-out), to
provide the additional finished area. The zoning regulations, however, have a definition of basement and
indicate that basement cannot be counted toward living area.
What do you recommend?
