We, the citizens of South Windsor oppose the construction of a bypass road linking Clark Street
and Sullivan Avenue. The following points summarize our position:
1 . The proposed bypass road does not solve any traffic problems—only spreads the problem of
the five corner intersection around.
A. The proposed bypass road would result in a slower commute since all traffic presently
going through a single light at the five corner intersection, would be forced to go through at
least two traffic lights. (Traffic lights would be required at Clark & Ellington, Deming &
Buckland and the bypass road and Sullivan Avenue).
B. Substantial renovations would have to be made to Clark Street and Deming Street which
are both narrow rural roads. (New subdivisions would be required to build streets 2 to 3
times wider than the present roads; the sharp kink at the old Hayes Homestead would have to
be straightened, etc.). In addition, all renovations on these two roads for the bypass
proposal would be at the expense of South Windsor taxpayer's. However, improving the
problem itself, the five corner intersection, would be at the expense of the state.
C. The intersections of Clark & Deming would need to be totally realigned to improve sight
lines and a traffic light may be ultimately required.
2. Condemnation of the original South Windsor land trust property located on Ellington Road
should not be allowed.
3. The proposal would result in the needless destruction of a stable high quality residential
neighborhood.
4. The proposal is really being done to encourage the urbanization of the entire five corners
area. The main beneficiary of the proposal is an out of town developer and not the residents
of South Windsor.

MUSUMANO ZONE CHANGE
1 . This site is a 74 .06 acre situ currently oned RR, located
on the' west side f Sullivan Ave,---, The propo 1 is to change 5 .5
ac?e.
from RR t;RO and acres from to MF-AA. The
apcant is r uesting 108 condominium units on the MF site, and
anipating 0,000 square feet of offic development on the RO
si .
2. The total MF-AA parcel contains 68.5 acres. Of the 68.5
acres, 40 ,,acres cannq;t� be counted #,oward density because o
wetlands,` slopes, f oodplain , d ention and ,easements. .-Thus,

appl cant is ro osing 108 ,
S
VW--) ham
.n This application includes a proposal to provide
approximately 50 acres of open space, which consists of the
southerly 45 acres including the land under the electric
transmission lines; and about 6 acres of land in the northwest
portion of the site. Town staff ave estimated that there are
about 21 acres of designated wetlands within the 45 acres south
of the power lines. Both proposed parcels of open space abut
other open space holdings of the Land Trust, thus fostering an
integrated network of contiguous open space parcels.
The Town's environmental officer has done some preliminary
investigations of the 78-acre parcel, and has indicated that the
development as proposed is on the part of the site where it will
have the least environmental impact. The area included within
the power lines and land south of the power lines contains much
evidence of wildlife, including a pond with ducks, and deer.
Acquisition of this parcel by the Town would result in not only
protection of the sensitive wetland area, but preservation of a
scenic vista from Sullivan Avenue.
4 . One of the major concerns regarding this project is traffic
impacts, and the a.m. and p.m. peak hours are the times of
greatest concern. The applicant's traffic engineer has estimated
that about 36 vehicles would exit from the condominiums and go
south; and about 53 vehicles would enter the offices during the
a.m. peak from the south. During the p.m. peak, about 34 vehicles
would enter the condominiums from the south, and about 51
vehicles would exit the office use and travel south. (Note.
figures obtained by applying arrival/departure distributions in
figures 5, 6, 7 to projected peak hour traffic in table 1. ) This
traffic would create an added burden to the 5-corners
intersection.
The pr osed b ass road is part' ularly beneficial in
addre sing t ' s problem. n li t of the P1aza,,,/dt Buckland Hills
pro sed i erim traffic i ovements at 5- rners, the,.bypass
ro d prop ed by the appl' ant adds anoth dimension to the
z -
ability of t road netwo k in 5-corners vici ''ty to handle
traffic. T e applicant' traffic engineer h estimated that 10-
15% of th condomini traffic would diver onto the proposed,,,-`
bypass; nd about 25 of any retail traffic would divert ontd` the
propos bypass . a combination of th diversion of a portion
of th new traff i plus the ability of the improved 4-corners to
hand a traffic f ows would provide a ajor relief to the 5-
cor rs interse,- tion.
The traf f i¢' engineer has estimated that the addit' 'n of the
proposed ypass road plusXIntersection improvem is to 5-corners
would sult in level o service increase at corners from ��to
C dur' g the a.m. pea , and from F to D dur' g the p.m. p
Also Clark St. at E ington Road now oper tes at LOS F uring
the a.m. peak and S E during the p.m. ak. The new ypass
ro d would increa the LOS to C during he a.m. pea and to B or
during the p.m peak. The intersecti of the new bypass and
ullivan Avenue is expected to operat at LOS B during the a.m.
eak and C duri g the p.m. peak.
During its deXiberations o4ean
plications for develo nt of the
Town Shoppi Center and T Office Park, this c ission has
worked diligently to ens interconnected ne ork of accesses
from Buck and Rd. to C1 k Street. The propos bypass road
makes th t effort of t is Commission emminent worthwhile, by
providi g a means whe eby a large chunk of t at town shopping
center traffic can c mpletely avoid the 5-co ners yet still do
their eceBsary shopping.
The entrance to the office/condominium project itself has two
alternat'ves: (1) the.-,AF site as proposed has ample frontage, on
Sulliva Avenue, t s allowing the sLte access to be a private
acces drive unde the maintenance the condominium
asso iation. Up n the deeding of/the open space to the'"town, the
fro tage would a lost, resulti in a nonconforming lot after
ap oval. (2) the entrance dr' a could be a town road,
co structed t town standard , which would give the MF lot the
necessary fr tage.
I would note that LOS projections for the applicants own site
entrance drives range from D to F during peak hours, indicating
that vehicles will still have difficulty making the left turn
movements. Sullivan Avenue should be widened to provide
deceleration lanes in the vicinity of the site driveways.
5 . State Traffic Commission approval would be required at the
site plan stage.
6 . This application also includes provisions for 10% of the
units to be affordable units (11 units) . As this Commission is
aware, the Town is in the process of addressing lack of
affordable housing through a Mayor-appointed Housing Task Force.
This application is very timely with its proposal for affordable
14 i
units.
7 . Sanitary sewerage is proposed from Pierce Road. The Supt. of
Pollution Control has indicated that there is available capac�ty.
WPCA approval is required. 1 S - v� am✓c
8 . Public water would be provided by a water line extension in
Sullivan Avenue. a �.� r s , °.
r W ate✓ Co 2 z �„`«-(`to l,Ice. -�O "AA l (e 44&--r-v C w C, rya `ftu re cclY•�
9 . A 25' buffer is required wherever the MF zone abuts a lower
density residential zone or a commercial zone. Where
appropriate, these buffers have been shown on the general plan.
The closest condominium building to Sullivan Avenue is about
4501 , the closest building to Pierce Road is about 5501 .
10. Required parking of 2 spaces per unit has been provided. All
parking areas are removed from principal streets .
11. Required developed recreation area of 600 sq. ft. per unit
has been provided.
r-
12 . Five phases of � ut 20 units per phase are proposed.
13 . There are regulated wetlands on site. All units are a
minimum of 40, from regulated wetlands, per our wetlands
regulations . This application-would need IWA/CC approval at the
site plan stage.
14 . The Town Plan depicts this property as Residential, and
indicates that the most appropriate land uses within this
category includes suburban residential multi-family homes, non-
contiguous to similar developments, at a density of 1 to 4 .5
units per acre; plus all other categories of residential
development, including single family lots and DA-15 cluster
developments.
15 . In spimmary, I would represent to this commission that it
would appear that the benefits outweigh anyr.,,hdverse impacts which
might ccrue. The devselopment would contribute traffic to an,
alrey-congested intersection, but the-,,,Applicant is willing: to
provide substantial relief in the form of the bypass road. /}The
Town would acquire about 50 acres of -land, contiguous to lend
trust property, which would remain open space. The issue ,pf
Affordable housing would be addresseod with provision of 11 units
of affordable :'nousing. The Town's tax base would be increased
with the provision of office space. I would therefore reeem
*�& this Commission that consideration be given to approving the
zone change request.
I would that this commission continue this public
hearin until such time as the Council has acted On the contract
for p0vision of the bypass road

December 3, 1987
Marcia Banach, Town Planner
Town of South Windsor
1540 Sullivan Ave .
South Windsor Ct . 06074
Dear Marcia;
The South Windsor Agricultural Land Preservation Advisory Com-
mission takes this opportunity to offer recommendations from the
Commission regarding the property owned by Mr. Norman Priest.
During recent discussions with the proposed developer and current
property owner, a clear picture has emerged. The focus sharply portrays
how the goals of all concerned parties can be realized .The goals of
the property owner and the developer can be met , at the same time
pr s rving substantial farmland and other open space values for the
resid nts of South Windsor .
The Commission has reached these conclusions :
1) SWALPAC takes no stand either for or against the proposed
zone change application .
2) That if the property is to be developed that any development
should take place on both the East and West sides of Sullivan
Av nue; and North of the Northeast Utilities transmission
corridor only.
3) No development should take place directly underneath and
South of the transmission corridor , and in any other areas
of the property not suitable for building .
SWALPAC feels that the above recommendations are reasonable and proper
for the site , for these reasons.
a) That this proposal would preserve approximately 18 acres of
Prime farmland .
b) A tremendous variety of open space, including wooded uplands
meadows and wetlands sheltering substantial wildlife pop-
ulations would be protected .
c) Hill ' s Grove, a historic site known to many South Windsor
residents would be intact .
is Banach
.de 2
jecember 3, 1987
d) Our - recommendations are in concurrence with the Town• Plan ' s
environmental , open space, and land use goals . The areas
recommended for preservation are contiguous to other
protected open spaces to the immediate South and West . The
S.W. Land Conservation Trust properties and the Podunk River
flood plain comprise these boundaries. The areas proposed for
permanent preservation on this property , added to the existing
open spaces, would form a substantial area of 'open space and
natural resource conservation benefits to the residents
of South Windsor .
With this proposal , and possibly with subsequent development
proposals of other sites, mixed use development scenarios should
be examin d . SWALPAC stresses that the Planning and Zoning Commission,
th Town Planners office, and the residents of South Windsor look
towards the future of South Windsor with afar reaching vision.
As th pressure to gr.ow intensifies , it is incumbent upon all
Of us to utilize our maximum creativity and flexibility to accomodate
sensible growth with open space and natural resource protection. By
applying these creative, decisive , and visionary methods now, we can
safeguard the same benefits we enjoy today for the future residents
of our Town .
Sincerely ,
L�

Dear Marcia;
On Monday Dec. 14, 1987 SWALPAC held a special meeting.
NAt that
me ting the pending application Patrick
SWALPACusumano for agreed upon the following;
an
Priest property was again discussed.
1 ' We stand firmly behind the recommendations that were submiitte d
to you on Dec. 3, 1987.
We believe these recommendations
ar
reasonable and proper for the development of this
aturalproperty,
while incorporating farmland, open space,
and resource
preservation.
2) That another value be included into our recommendations.
sThe
area known as Hills Grove, near the pond on site,
buffer
a series of natural springs. These springs represent a potential
source of drinking water to the Town of South Windsor if the
need should arise. Therefore, protection of this
natural resource should receive the highest priority.
3) The development of a bypass road through this property bhtwe n
Sullivan Ave. and Ellington Rd. would
wildlifeseriously
habitat , and
considerable farmland, open space,
water resources that comprise this area. Wederecommend
avoiding this consideration because of
the ntal
consequences to these natural resources.

February 12, 1988
The Officers and Directors
South Windsor Land Trust
• Gentlemen:
The purpose of this letter is to explain as best I can
Martha's intentions when in 1976 she gave the Land Trust
what we called then the "East Lot".
A little bit of history first. One of Martha's
ancestors (a Stoughton) was one of the Windsor settlers who
was granted part of "Windsor Farms" - the land across the
river from the Town of Windsor. I think this occurred in
the mid sixteen hundreds. We always thought that part of
the original grant that was farthest east remained or
reverted to the family after the rest of the piece had gone
to other owners either by sale or inheritance.
Martha was the last of this branch of the Stoughton
"tribe" and had a strong wish that some part of the
"ancestral acres" be preserved as a monument to her
forebears. She also wished to have some of the acreage kept
as a reminder of the rural nature of the town when she was
young and when her ancestors were alive. The gift to the
Trust fed both her strong family feeling and her love for
that part of town where she had spent her life.
To us the Land Trust was the only vehicle available to
accomplish her wishes. It was a permanent organization not
subject to political changes.
As you know, there has been one change made in the
parcel of land that was deeded to the Trust in 1976. This
occurred when a strip on the east end was traded with Dave
Webster for his acreage to the north. I approved this
exchange having in mind that the result was to strengthen
the objectives of the original gift. The result has been to
preserve the appearance of the lot as a piece of farm land.
Now we are confronted with the idea of putting a
roadway through the lot. Clearly, if this is done, the
whole character of the piece changes and Martha's wishes all
are thrown out.
1
1.
i1 •
I must object strongly to this notion.
If anyone will walk by the lot as is and use his or her
imagination slightly, he would see what this part of town
must have looked like in past years. If he will then really
exercise his imagination and visualize the appearance with a
paved road bisecting it, he will find that the previous
picture is no more.
There must be other solutions to the traffic problem
that this proposal seeks to solve which do not do violence
t the notion of preserving a unique part of town history.
Very truly yours,
Ste Wil lams, Jr.
Musumano Zone Change Request - Planning Department Review
Proposed Pro ect
- .108 condominium units
- 50,000 square feet office development
- Sewerage to be from Pierce Road, water from Sullivan
Avenue
Traffic
- projected traffic pm peak hour after Buckland Hills mall
opens:
1166 vehicles heading north on Buckland rd. thru
5-corners
- 55 turning left at 5-corners, 610 going straight
to Sullivan Avenue, 422 heading up Ellington Rd (Rt
74) , 79 turning right onto Oakland Rd. (rt. 30)
- Projected weekday volume from Mall is just under 40,000
vehicles per day total; 9% of that total is expected to use
Buckland Road (4,000 vehicles per day) ; about 20% of that
volume is diverted traffic, for total of about 3200 new
trips per day on Buckland Rd.
- current traffic volume of Buckland Road is in excess of
16,000 trips per day
- expect that persons using Buckland Hills Mall from towns
north of us will continue using Buckland Road; however,
with addition of Musumano road, South Windsor residents
will have an alternative to using 5-corners.
Road Alignment
- Road cannot be moved east of Clark St because it will come too
close to 5-corners, and will not serve the required purpose if
vehicles have to make a right onto Ellington Road, then a left
onto the new bypass road.
- Road cannot be moved west of Clark St because of encroachment
of the Podunk River; and it will not serve the required purpose
if cars have to make a left onto Ellington Road, then a right
onto the new bypass road.
- Road cannot exit onto Pierce Road because it will encroach on
the Podunk River; and it will not serve the required purpose
without the 4-way intersection provided at Clark St.
Future Development Vicinity of 5-Corners

Environmental Features
- Town to receive 45 acres+ including power lines plus land south
of power lines, plus 6 acres of land north of power lines through
which the Podunk River flows
- approx. 21 acres of the 45 is wetlands, rest is not. The
non-wetlands areas are located along Sullivan Road
frontage; these acres are prime for building
- natural features of the 45 acres include a viable duck
pond in the southeast section; wooded area in the southwest
section
- Addition to a system of protected properties that
currently includes Land Trust property of about 7 .5 acres
to the south and about 11 acres to the west
- Wildlife species that inhabit and use the site are
numerous and diverse, particularly within the wetlands
areas, and include deer, ducks, and raccoons
- Preservation of this property is consistent with the Town
of South Windsor's plans for open space protection. The
property is located within the Town Center, an area which
is experiencing growth and thus losing its "rural" flavor.
The addition of the 50 acres will help to preserve the
appearance of a rural community center.
- The area planned for preservation is the most
environmentally sensitive portion of the site; the
development will occur on the least sensitive portion
- There are no aquifers contained on DEP's aquifer maps .
- The recently-updated Town Plan of Development indicates the
following goals for open space acquisition:
1. Open space parcels should be of sufficient size and bulk
to to valuable. . .small parcels should be avoided. . .
2 . Open space should be acquired throughout South Windsor,
including. . .streambelts; areas with sensitive environmental
features such as flood plains, wetlands, steep slopes, and
areas with unique flora and fauna.

Dear Marsha:
Accompanying our General Plan of Development as required by the
zoning regulations, the following report addresses the
feasibility and impacts of the stormwater drainage, sanitary
sewer and water service for the proposed projec-:.
Stormwater:
Presently, the site drains in a westerly direction into the
Podunk River. Our proposed site will also drain in this
direction, thereby not diverting any stormwater out of it's
natural watershed. The stormwater from the proposed site will
enter a detention basin which will detain the flows such that
the peak flows entering the Podunk River from the proposed site
will not be any greater than the existing flows, leaving the
site. Since the proposed peak flows will not exceed the
existing peak flows there will not be any impacts to existing
downstream drainage facilities.
The detention basin shown was sized to handle the flows from the
condominium complex as well as the office and/or retail uses
proposed along Sullivan Avenue by Mr. Musamano.
Sanitary Sewer:
The site will be graded to drain to the west, thereby allowing
the on-site sanitary sewer to flow by gravity in the same
direction and will connect to the existing sanitary sewer on
Pierce Road. An easement shall be obtained from William and
Jeanne Mangino of 272 Pierce Road to allow for construction,
maintenance and access to the line. According to Fred Shaw of
the Town Engineer's office, enough reserve capacity exists in
this sewer to date for our proposed development. An existing
pump station downstream also has enough capacity to handle our
sanitary flows.

Water
Presently, water main does not exist in front of our site on
Sullivan Avenue and no water main exists nearby on Pierce Road.
We are proposing to extend a 12" main which exists near Sand
Hill Road down Sullivan Avenue to our site. This main is owned
by the Connecticut Water Company, and has a static pressure of
95 psi and residual of 87 psi at a flow of 1100 gpm. We will
serve the site from the extended main. Several hydrants have
been shown on the plans at the direction of Fire Chief Bill
Lanning.

Mr. Alfred Kupchunos, Deputy mayor
Dear Ed and Al :
I am disturbed that the two of you have leaped so quickly
to endorse the development proposed by Mr. Musumano for
the area near "Five Corners" . I thinly a number of issues
and trade-offs need to be evaluated
�. . Is the preservation of 41 acres of open space worth
converting the other 46 acres from "Rural Residential" to
offices, stores, and condominiums? I suggest you look at
an over-developed town (e.g. , Rocky Hill ) for the answer.
2. Is the developer profiting from the increased
number of units? He would have to build a road (or roads)
to develop the land for residential uses,no? Why should he
receive tax breaks for building the road? If the town has
to pay for the road , we may as well do so directly and
manage the project to a better overall result.
. Is the proposed traffic plan a real improvement over
other alternatives? Why not widen "Five Corners" and make
Ellington Road one way from Five Corners to the
intersection with Sand Hill? That' s one thought -- I 'm
sure there are others worthy of consideration.
4. The 41 acres to be left open : are they unbuildable
wetlands and fields? Many of the newer developments in
town have useless ponds, bogs, and gullies as open space--
a great deal for the developers, but not for the town.
5. Does it make sense to convert any of the town ' s
remaining land from "Rural Residential" to higher density
uses in light of the town ' s rapid-- some would say
uncontrolled-- growth?
In conclusion , I ask that you evaluate these proposals
U very carefully. I have spoken to other residents and found
unanimoLrs opposition to the proposed development. In fact,
I think: that you would find most residents strongly
opposed to the conversion oT any residential lands to
retail and commercial uses. Such conversions simply are
not consistent with the directions in which most of your
const., tuen is want to see this town move.

South Windsor, Connecticut
Dear Rick:
Thank you for your recent letter regarding the development
proposed by Mr. Musumano.
The questions you raised in your letter are, I am sure,
among those issues and concerns which will be examined and
discussed during public deliberations at future Town Council
(and Planning and Zoning Commission) meetings, at which
residents' input is always sought and encouraged. It has
been my personal practice to seek and take under advisement
the opinions and concerns voiced by our Town' s residents on
all issues of public policy brought before the Council.
Because the issues you raised, in large part, relate to the
type of study undertaken by our Planning and Zoning
Commission, I suggest that you send a copy of your letter to
the Chairman of that body, so that your concerns may be
addressed by the Commission at the appropriate time.

Dear Ray,
Re: Wapping Center Plan
Wapping/Five Corners is emerging as the center for our growing community of
22,000 residents. As such, it is important that short-and Iong-range plans for this
area be generated.
We share with others in South Windsor the desire for an attractive center, affording
an identity for the town. More than that, we desire appropriate land use, including
additional land zoned for business, e.g., offices and retail. A greater variety of housing
within pedestrian distances of retail shops and governmental facitlities, such as the
library and post office, would better meet our housing needs -not to mention the
need for highway improvements at the Five Corners and the Wapping Bypass road
system.
Accordingly, the South Windsor Chamber of Commerce, representing the business
community, respectfully urges the Planning and Zoning Commission to develop a
Town Plan amendment for the Wapping/Five Corners area, which geographically we
define as bounded to the west by Pierce Road, to the north by Sand Hill Road, to
the east by Felt Road, and to the south by Deming Street.
Sincerely,
Joseph Rave

Re: Proposed zone change/site development - Sullivan Avenue
Applicant: Patrick Musumano
D ar Mr. Hallowell:
The above proposed project is located near our Kupchunos public drinking
water supply well field (approximately 500 ft. ). Therefore, we are concerned
that adequate precautions be taken to prevent any water quality degradation
both during and after development activities in this area. I have reviewed the
preliminary site plans dated 6/14/88 and would like to offer the following
comments:
1. ) One of the major causes of groundwater contamination in Connecticut is
from leaking underground fuel storage tanks. We recommend tanks of this
nature be prohibited on this site.
2. ) Proper soil erosion and sediment control measures will need to be properly
installed and maintained until the entire site is stabilized.
3. ) We recommend the use of road salt be limited in this development area.
While we do not oppose this project at this time, we reserve the right to
oppose it if new or different information becomes available during further
revi w.

CONSERVATION TRUST INC.
P. O. BOX 415

To: Members of the South Windsor^ Land Trust Date: August 17, 1988
Dear Member:
We are pleased to announce that on Wednesday, August 24, 1988, the Trust will
receive 8.5t acres of meadowland and the Podunk River which will attach to our
Williams property. From the first gift of four (4) acres from the Williams
family, we slowly have acquired approximately twenty-five (25) acres in an .
area that is critical to preserving the rural atmosphere of our town center.
Unfortunately, the excitement of our latest acquisition comes at a time when
the Town Council is being asked by the town staff to condemn a roadway thru the
original Williams gift. Not that it makes a difference, but this is not a quiet
side road being proposed. It• is a major road with turning lanes and traffic
lights that will not only destroy the atmosphere that we are creating, but dump
additional traffic onto rural Clark Street.
The Land Trust is very concerned that the Council will overlook the trust that
Martha Williams placed in our organization and that if the Council were to
.attempt to condemn our property, it may be an indication of their willingness
to violate the trust that a significant majority of voters placed in the Council
when we all asked that Three Million ($3,000,000) dollars be spent to permanently
preserve our open space. We are enclosing letters associated with this topic for
your information.
What we need from each of you is an appearance at a Town Council special meeting
on August 29, 1988 at the Town Hall . Do not be concerned about having to speak
or to risk being interrogated - it is your "presence" that is required to show
the Council that we do not want to violate the trust of a donor and the, purpose
of the Land Trust. We are a small town yet, and I suggest that you will feel
proud to be present when many people you know will be at the Council meeting on
the 29th of August to reaffirm the fact that voters are listened to when they
represent the attitude of the Town.
Do not hesitate to ask others to come - this meeting is extremely important!
Please confirm the date and time with the Town Hall .
One other topic is the continuing need for membership and membership renewal .
We certainly hope that you will renew your membership and urge others to join.
Sincerely yours,
Tim Shepard

A Mr. Jeffrey Musumano has made application for a zone change from
Rural Residential to Restricted Office or Restricted Commercial, for
a parcel of property which is located on the east side of Sullivan
Avenue, due south and adjacent to property owned by St. Peters
Episcopal Church.
By copy of this letter, the leadership and congregation of St. Peters
Episcopal Church do respectfully oppose this change in zoning based
on environmental and aesthetic concerns. Our concerns are based on
St. Peters ' prominent location, on Sand Hill Road, our ability to
conduct our services in a tranquil surrounding and various potential
ramification resulting from a zone change.
Respectfully submitted,

The Plaza at Buckland Hills
The key elements of the proposed contract between the
Town of South Windsor and the Buckland Hills developers
affords benefits to both the Town and the Developer.
The background to the negotiations of the Plaza at
Buckland Hills is similar to the Town/Developer Agreement
entered into four years ago with the Winchester Mall
developer, a proposal approved by the Planning and Zoning
Commission. Subsequently, a Court Appeal by residents
effectively stopped the Winchester Mall Development.
The Town of Manchester pursued, successfully, the Mall
at Buckland Hills. The Town then filed suit against the
State Traffic Commission' s approval for Buckland Hills Mall,
and a Court' s decision upholding the original Planning and
Zoning Commission approval came too late for South Windsor
to pursue the Winchester proposal.
Ongoing discussions and negotiations continued with the
Buckland Hills organization, with the resulting contract
entered into, pending Council approval.

Vic Chairman Sorenson chaired the public hearing. Mr. Nadel was named to
sit for Mr. Hallowell, who had disqualified himself from participation in
this matter.
Town Planner Marcia Banach presented the following overview of the project:
The August 29, 1988 Council meeting included consideration of two
proposed contracts between the Town of South Windsor and Jeffrey Musumano,
r lated to a proposed development on Sullivan Avenue, and the Plaza at
Buckland Hills for a proposed retail, commercial, and office dev lopm nt at
the "Winchester" site. Both proposals contain road improvement provisions
which are not under the applicant's or PZC's control; therefore, Council
involvement is required to ensure that the road improvements will b able
to b guaranteed to this Commission.
Town Staff believe that both of these contracts have significant
b nefits to the people of South Windsor in terms of traffic capacity and
movements; and in the preservation of an environmentally significant area
in the center of our Town.

igr ements, by the Town Council's participation, will (in fact) provid for
a great r range of fl xibility in these processes; and the PZC retains full
authority to require whatever road improvements this Commission may believe
is necessary for either development. The above-noted contracts will
provide for that flexibility.
Atty. Michael Lanza opened the applicant's presentation by asking that Item
3 on th ag nda and legal notice -- the request to change 5.5 acres on the
west sid of Sullivan Avenue from RR to RC -- be withdrawn, since RO was
consid red more compatible with MF than RC. Mrs. Rossi made a motion to
accept th withdrawal request for Item 3, Mrs. Montana seconded, and th
motion carried unanimously.
Atty. Lanza asked that the public hearing be left open to allow inclusion
in th record of the Contract presented to the Town Council on 29 August
1988, which had not yet been acted upon. This action would permit any
changes regarding the bypass road to be included in the record. Discussion
of various ramifications of a continuance followed.
Atty. Lanza continued the presentation, noting that traffic had always been
a concern of this application and citing factors supporting the proposed
route of th bypass road. He said the current proposal was in accordance
with discussions with the Town Manager and Town Staff and dealt best with
environmentally sensitive areas.
Betsy Ka mmerlen, Fuss & O'Neill, noted that single-family homes had be n
consid red, but that condominium construction would minimize disturbanc of
w tlands areas. Ms . Kaemmerlen summarized site, landscaping, drainage, and
utility data for the condominiums. She proposed that RO zoning both sid s
of the condominium entrance road would be compatible with the MP zone. On
th east side of Sullivan Avenue, the applicants hoped to combine RC and RO
uses to include offices with, e. g. , a restaurant.
Architect Alan Lamson of Frazier Lamson Budlong Architects said a clust r
layout had been provided for the condominiums, with 20 buildings, 6 units /
building maximum, all 2-bedroom, ranging from 1280 to 1455 sq. feet. T n
perc nt of the units would be offered as affordable housing without
compromising quality. All would have full basements and outside
recreational space, including decks. Exterior wall finishes would be cedar
clapboards and trim and brick veneer.
Engin er Steve Mitchell, Fuss & O'Neill, summarized the traffic report,
commenting that congestion at 5-Corners would be relieved if the proposed
bypass wer built. He concluded that the proposed route of the bypass was
in the logical location.
Atty. Lanza informed the Commission that the zone change requests were all
part of a package, with execution of the project predicated on approval of
the entire package. He invited Commission members to provide input
regarding the bypass road.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 5 30 AUGUST 1988
Town Plann r Marcia Banach reviewed her report:
1 . As has been noted, this application includes a proposal to provide
approximately 50 acres of open space, which consists of the south rly 45
acr s including the land under the electric transmission lines and about 6
acres of land in the northwesterly portion of the site. Town staff hav
estimated that there are about 21 acres of designated wetlands within th
45 acres south of the power lines. Both proposed parcels of open space
abut other open space holdings of the Land Trust, thus fostering an
int grated network of contiguous open space parcels.
Th Town's environmental officer has done some preliminary investigations
of the 78-acre parcel, and has indicated that the development as proposed
is on the part of the site where it will have the least environmental
impact. The area included within the power lines and land south of the
power lines contains much evidence of wildlife, including a pond with
ducks, and deer. Acquisition of this parcel by the Town would r sult in
not only protection of the sensitive wetland area, but preservation of a
sc nic vista from Sullivan Avenue.
2. One of the major concerns regarding this project is traffic impacts,
and the a.m. and p.m. peak hours are the times of greatest concern. Th
applicant's traffic engineer has estimated that about 36 vehicles would
exit from the condominiums and go south; and about 53 vehicles would nt r
th offices during the a.m. peak from the south. During the p.m. peak,
about 34 vehicles would enter the condominiums from the south, and about 51
v hicles would exit the office use and travel south. (Note: figur s
obtained by applying arrival/departure distributions in figures 5, 6, and 7
to projected peak hour traffic in table 1. ) This traffic would treat an
added burden to the 5-corners intersection.
Th proposed bypass road is particularly beneficial in addressing this
problem. In light of the Plaza at Buckland Hills proposed interim traffic
improvements at 5-corners, the bypass road proposed by the applicant adds
another dimension to the ability of the road network in 5-corners vicinity
to handle traffic. The applicant's traffic engineer has estimat d that 10-
15% ' of the condominium traffic would divert onto the proposed bypass; and
about 25% of any retail traffic would divert onto the proposed bypass. The
combination of the diversion of a portion of the new traffic plus th
ability of the improved 4-corners to handle traffic flows would provide a
major relief to the 5-corners intersection.
Th traffic engineer has estimated that the addition of the proposed bypass
road plus intersection improvements to 5-corners would result in lev 1 of
service increase at 4-corners from F to C during the a.m. peak, and from F
to D during the p.m. peak. Also, Clark St. at Ellington Road now operat s
at LOS F during the a.m. peak and LOS E during the p.m. peak. Th new
bypass road would increase the LOS to C during the a.m. peak and to B or C
during the p.m. peak. The intersection of the new bypass and Sullivan
Avenue is expected to operate at LOS B during the a.m. peak and C during
the p.m. peak.

Shopping Center and Terry office Park, this commission

this
2d. to Clark Str et. The proposed bypass road makes that
:ommission eminently worthwhile, by providing a means whereby a large chunk
Df that Town Shopping Center traffic can completely avoid the 5-corners yet
still do nec ssary shopping.
rh entrance to the office/condominium project itself has two alternatives.
(1) The MF site as proposed has ample frontage ° Sullivan
under theAvenue,
maintenance
allowing the site access to be a private access drive
of the condominium association. Upon the deeding of the open space to the
town, the frontage would be lost, resulting in a nonconforming lot after
approval. (2) The entrance drive could be a town road, constructed to town
standards, which would give the MF lot the necessary frontage.
It should be noted that LOS projections for the applicant's own site
entranc drives range from D to F during peak hours, indicating that
vehicles will still have difficulty making the left turn movements.
Sullivan Avenue should be widened to provide deceleration lanes in the
vicinity of the site driveways.
3. Stat Traffic Commission approval would be required at the site plan
stag .
4 . This application also includes provisions for 10% of the units to be
affordable units (11 units) . As this Commission is aware, the Town is in
th proc ss of addressing lack of affordable housing through a Mayor-
appointed Housing Task Force. This application is very timely with its
proposal for affordable units .
5. Sanitary sewerage is proposed from Pierce Road. The Supt. of Pollution
Control has indicated that there is available capacity. WPCA approval is
r quired.
6 . Public water would be provided by a water line extension in located about Sullivan
lliV00, north
Avenu . Connecticut Water Company has a wellfiel
of this sit , and has submitted a letter regarding same (Attachment A [read
into th record] ) .
7 . A 25' buffer is required wherever the MF zone abuts a lower density
residential zone or a commercial zone. Where appropriate, these buffers
hav been shown on the general plan. The closest condominium building to
Sullivan Av nue is about 450' ; the closest building to Pierce Road is about
550' .
8. Required parking of 2 spaces per unit has been provided. All parking
areas ar removed from principal streets.
9 . Requir d developed recreation area of 600 sq. ft. per unit has been
provided.
10. Fiv phases of about 20 units per phase are proposed.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 7 30 AUGUST 1988
11. Th re are regulat d wetlands on site. All units ar a minimum of 40'
from regulated wetlands, per our wetlands r gulations. This application
would need IWA/CC approval at th sit plan stag .
12. The Town Plan depicts this property as Residential, and indicat s that
the most appropriate land uses within this category include suburban
resid ntial multi-family homes, non-contiguous to similar developm nts, at
a d nsity of 1 to 4.5 units per acre, plus all other categories of
r sid ntial development, including single family lots and DA-15 clust r
dev lopments.
13. In summary, it would appear that the benefits outweigh any advers
impacts which might accrue. The development would contribute traffic to an
alr ady-congested intersection, but the applicant is willing to provid
substantial relief in the form of the bypass road. The Town would acquir
about 50 acres of land, contiguous to land trust property, which would
remain open space. The issue of affordable housing would be addr ssed with
provision of 11 units of affordable housing. The Town's tax base would b
increased with the added office space. It is recommended to this
Commission that consideration be given to approving the zone chang
r quest.
R commendation is also made that this public hearing be continued until th
Council has acted on the contract for provision of the bypass road.
Ms. Banach read the report on the zone change request for property on th
ast side of Sullivan Avenues
1 . This is a 12.9 acre parcel located on the east side of Sullivan Av .
just south of Sand Hill Road. The land is currently zoned RR and th s
proposals are to rezone the land to either RO or RC. The parcel is
surrounded by RR land on the north, south and west (however on th west is
his other proposal) , and abuts Plum Ridge Condominiums on the east. There
is some office space a little further east of the site at the corner of
Sand Hill and Sullivan Ave.
2. The town plan depicts this land as remaining in a residential capacity.
3. Under current regulations a RO zone would allow for such uses as
busin ss, professional, financial, or corporate offices. They would have
to submit for site plan approval meeting the specific site requirements of
the RO zone.
4 . If the site were rezoned RC, it would allow for such uses as
professional offices, financial institutions, retail stores, restaurants,
personal service shops -- again, after site plan review.
5. Water and sewer are available to this site in Sullivan Ave.
6 . There are no wetlands or floodplain on this site. At the sit plan
stage a buffer zone will be required on all sides, as the site abuts
resid ntial land. If it were rezoned RO, a 25 foot buffer would be
required. If it were rezoned RC, a 50 foot buffer would be required on all
aid s of the property. These buffers would have to conform to th curr nt
buffer r gulations.
'CANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 8 30 AUGUST 1988
F . One of the main impacts for this application also
two differ a
owould trffic. The
traffic report submitted by Fuss and O'Neil examines
scenarios for this site and evaluates the traffic impact based on either
:h dev lopment of 100,000 square f et of office or 100,000 squar f et of
c tail.
the expect d a.m. peak hour traffic for the retail scenario is 122 cars
ant ring th site and 53 cars exiting. For the p.m. peak hour it is
axp cted that there will be 183 new vehicle trips entering the site and 191
zew vehicle trips leaving the site. For the retail use, it is estimated
that 4 0% of the traffic will be diverted traffic from vehicles already
passing the site; so there is actually a larger number than the number just
provided, making turning movements into and out of the site. This
div rsion was incorporated into the P.M. peak hour only, since the retail
facility would most likely not be open in the A.M. peak hour. Of the
traffic entering and exiting the site, it is estimated that 70% of the
vehicles entering the site in the morning would approach from the south;
and 25% of that traffic would utilize the proposed bypass road. 65% of the
traffic is expected to exit southbound, with 25% of those vehicles
utilizing th new bypass road.
If the site is zoned RO it is expected that in the a.m. peak hour there
would be approximately 178 cars entering the site and 26 cars leaving the
sit and during the p.m. peak hour there would be approximately 32 cars
ent ring th site and 170 cars leaving the site.
Our Economic Development Coordinator has indicated that the dollars spent
on retail in South Windsor represent a very small fraction of the dollars
sp nt on r tail east of the river; the majority of the shopping dollars in
South Windsor's residents' pockets is spent outside of South Windsor. Our
economic dev lopment program has been attempting to significantly increase
the amount of office space in South Windsor. We have a very modest amount
of office space in comparison to our suburban neighbors. Office space is
an xcellent revenue generator for the Town.
A point should be restated which has been noted before to this Commission
-- a point that the Traffic Engineer put very succinctly: if we shut down
South Windsor to further development today, 5-Corners still gets worse and
worse every year, and we have little relief. However, we can choose to
dir ct growth so that its benefits outweigh its impacts and improve our
traffic situation while we receive substantial benefits to our tax bas .
Ms . Banach read the S E A Engineering Report:
Th two proposed site plan schemes of a combination 108-unit condominium
development and 50,000 square foot office complex and a 100,000 square foot
office / retail development will provide a vital link between relocated
Ellington Road and Route 30. The development will produce a meaningful
solution to the Five Corners intersection problems. The development
sc narios proposed for the zone changes will not result in significant
advers impact to the adjacent roadway systems, land areas, and existing
utilities.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 9 30 AUGUST 1988
Mr. Nadel asked how much of the traffic LOS changes from F to C to D at 5-
Corners would be due to th bypass road and how much would be attributable
to the $550,000 the Buckland Hills mall develop rs had agreed to spend on
intersection improvements. This information was not currently available.
No one from the public responded to Mr. Sorenson's invitation to comm nt in
favor of the application.
Mr. Sorenson read a letter from Rev. Sara J. Chandler / St. Peter's
Episcopal Church (Attachment B) opposing the zone change application for
th property on the east side of Sullivan Avenue.
Robert Marigliani, 475 Abby Road Extension, Vice Chairman of SWALPAC,
described himself as a neutral speaker. He presented for the record a
letter from SWALPAC (Attachment C) recommending that all development b
done north of the Northeast Utilities transmission corridor to avoid
detriment to the wetlands south of the corridor and to better pres ry op n
space, historical, and environmentally sensitive land. A separate lett r
(Attachment C-1) reiterated these concerns, and further stated SWALPAC's
opposition to a bypass road through the property between Sullivan Av nue
and Ellington Road as detrimental to wildlife and natural resources on
site.
Helen Kinney, 1475 Sullivan Avenue, opposed the application, citing
xisting flooding and drainage problems. She said wildlife would b harmed
by the road and the development, and asked that other solutions b worked
out for the traffic problems at 5-Corners.
Bob Finch, 819 Clark Street, president of the South Windsor Land Trust,
alluded to the 78-8 straw vote against condemning the property, tak n
during the previous night's Council hearing . He said the key word in
"Land Trust" is "Trust, " which, in the case of potential land donors, may
not last once Town condemnation of Trust land undermines the organization's
cr dibility. Mr. Finch suggested that an alternate site be found, since it
appeared that the bypass would only move traffic problems from on place to
another.
Ernie Friend, 81 Edgewood Drive, addressed the wetlands issue, voicing
concern that drainage from the proposed projects would generate harmful
runoff into the wetlands. She added that more pollution would be cr at d
by traffic tie-ups at new signal lights installed at new intersections.
Ms. Friend also commented that the Town Plan encouraged preservation of
rural and wetlands areas, and that the results of the Town Meeting for
Tomorrow demonstrated town residents' concern about preserving
agricultural, open space, and wetlands areas. She suggested building
homes.
Richard Griswold, 139 Wood Pond Road, represented the St. Peter's Episcopal
Church congregation, opposing the change to RC on the east side parc 1
b cause of potential disruption of Church services and people cutting
through Church property to reach the site, particularly if restaurants w re
built.
'LANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 10 30 AUGUST 1988
)em trius Hnath, 390 Avery Stre t, was concerned about the violation of the
spirit of the Land Trust. He noted that donors could have profited by
selling th it land inst ad of donating it, and obj cted to Town
:ondemnation of Trust property. H said d v lopment could be approved
irithout the bypass road, and suggested the designers determine a different
:oad location.
:eone Mainelli, 63 Timber Trail, Secretary of the Land Trust, opposed
:ondemnation because of its violation of the Trust. He said such land was
ind rstood as remaining in its donated state forever, and that the land in
luestion was a visible symbol of such efforts. He pointed out that a road
bisecting the property, once constructed, would never be removed. Rather
than caus irreversible harm of this nature, Mr. Mainelli advocated finding
i diff r nt route, pointing out that using some ingenuity often produced
workable alt rnates such as the re-timed traffic light at Five Corners.
Frank N iderwerfer, Neiderwerfer Road, Chairman of SWALPAC, supported the
Land Trust's efforts and objected to a road through the wetlands. Like the
Rilliams family, his family had donated land with the understanding that it
was a p rmanent arrangement, but Town officials had since said nothing was
p rmanent. Mr. Neiderwerfer was disturbed by the implications this could
hav for his family's land donation, and suggested that the issue of
perman nce b clarified.
Bob Waldron, 196 Newberry Road, said adding another traffic signal at Clark
Stre t would only aggravate traffic back-ups, noting that many motorists
already use alternate routes around 5-Corners. He suggested that the 4-
Corners reconfiguration be given an opportunity to work. He said resid nts
had b en satisfied with the Town Plan, and that the Plan should be followed
wh re land use was concerned. He also took exception to violation of the
Land Trust property by construction of the proposed road.
Tim Shepard, 585 Main Street, a Land Trust member, read excerpts from
Steven D. Williams' letter (Attachment D) explaining the family's selection
of the Land Trust to carry out Martha Williams' wish to preserve the land.
Mr. Shepard commended the Musumanos for their cooperation; commenting that
it was the Town that was asking for the road and pointing out that there
was little net gain to the taxpayers since the Musumanos would be
reimbursed for road construction.
Bob Marigliani returned to ask for a determination of how land donations
can b prot cted to ensure permanent preservation. He noted that not only
private land donors but also the $3 million land acquisition program in
town would b nef it from this determination.
Bob Finch added that any cost savings realized from the applicant's
construction of the road would be countered by the cost of upgrading other
str eta sustaining traffic increases from the bypass road.
Richard Hayford, 7 Deming Street, presented a copy of a petition
(Attachm nt E) signed by 55 citizens opposed to the bypass road in that it
would cr at numerous adverse traffic impacts while not solving traffic
problems, and because it would force condemnation of the Land Trust
property.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 11 30 AUGUST 1988
Mary Giordano, 54 St p Road, lauded th Williams, N id rwerfer, and other
families' land contributions, citing th loss to future generations if
South Windsor is remembered as just another built-up suburb. She urged th
Commission to exercise foresight in considering the application.
Mr. Sorenson invited Commission members to provide input. There was
discussion about the feasibility of completing the hearing at anoth r date
to allow more time for asking and answering questions, but the cons nsus
was to keep the hearing going.
Mr. Conde noted that the traffic report had not been formally pres nted for
th record, and that the matter of the proposed development's compatibility
with the Town Plan had not been addressed by the applicant with regard to
zone changes, potential flooding problems, and general requirements for MF-
AA. He reminded the applicant that it was his responsibility to ensure all
such matters were covered.
Mr. Castro questioned how the bypass road would directly benefit th
Musumano development. In response to Mr. Castro's question whether th
proj ct had been "sold, " Atty. Lanza stated that it had not but that it
could be sold or joint ventured in the future. Mr. Castro voiced concern
over the possibility of an outside developer's starting the project and not
finishing it. Atty. Lanza said any transfers would have to be approv d by
the Town. Mr. Castro asked for a determination of what impact th added
condominiums have on the Town Plan's recommended residential ratios.
Mrs. Rossi said much of South Windsor's traffic is generated by adjac nt
towns, and asked why roads in those towns could not be designed to bypass
South Windsor. She questioned the vehicle counts exiting the condos at
peak hours, suggesting that 2 cars : unit seemed a more realistic
projection than the figures presented, and asked if a condominium
development in this location conformed to the Town Plan.
Mrs. Woodcock asked if the drawing depicting single-family housing was also
being considered. Atty. Lanza answered that it was not.
Mrs. Montana commented that an earlier speaker had mentioned placem nt of
th condominiums in the "least harmful" area in an ecological sense. She
found this disturbing because it implied harm in any case. Mrs.. Montana
questioned the advantages in alleviating Five Corners traffic by rerouting
it onto Clark Street, which did not seem a good reliever road.
Mrs. Evans wondered why the road was again being proposed, since an arlier
proposal for a Sullivan Avenue - Ellington Road bypass road had b en
rejected a year before as not viable. She asked for specifics r garding
Mr. Musumano's development history. Atty. Lanza answered that most of his
work involved residential work in the Avon - Farmington area. Mrs. Evans
objected to the "either/or" zone change application, suggesting that the
applicant ask for one or the other and support his proposal, sinc th
presentation thus far was somewhat general. The possibility of an informal
me ting with the Commission was discussed. Mrs. Evans asked if th STC had
revi wed the application; Mr. Mitchell said no, because PZC had not acted
on the site plan yet.

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 13 30 AUGUST 1988
Architect Alan Lamson, a Land Planner also, referred to Town Planner Marcia
Banach's report wherein it was stat d that multi-family housing was
compatible with the Town Plan in layout and density as w 11 as zoning. He
suggested that since some Commissioners had reservations about developing
multi-family housing along Sullivan Avenue, perhaps the RO/RC mix would
prove feasible.
Mrs. Rossi asked what would happen to the land parcel that was to hav been
donated to the Town, regardless of whether the road is built from Clark
Str t to Sullivan Avenue or not. The applicant responded that it was
their intent to leave the parcel as open area. Mrs. Evans asked about
phasing; Atty. Lanza said five phases were planned, with the multi-family
housing first. Mrs. Woodcock asked what would happen in the event of a
partial approval; Atty. Lanza answered that approval was needed for th
entire project based on current considerations.
Betsy Kaemmerlen discussed drainage, runoff, and wetlands impacts from th
project, and read the following Fuss & O'Neill comments from a 1 tt r dated
June 13, 1988.
Accompanying our General Plan of Development as required by th
zoning regulations, the following report addresses the
feasibility and impacts of the stormwater drainage, sanitary
sewer and water service for the proposed project.
Stormwater:
Presently, the site drains in a westerly direction into the
Podunk River. Our proposed site will also drain in this
direction, thereby not diverting any stormwater out of it's
natural watershed. The stormwater from the proposed site will
enter a detention basin which will detain the flows such that
the peak flows entering the Podunk River from the proposed site
will not be any greater than the existing flows, leaving the
site. Since the proposed peak flows will not exceed the
existing peak flows there will not be any impacts to existing
downstream drainage facilities.
The detention basin shown was sized to handle the flows from the
condominium complex as well as the office and/or retail uses
proposed along Sullivan Avenue by 'Mr. Musamano.
Sanitary Sewer:
The site will be graded to drain to the west, thereby allowing
the on-site sanitary sewer to flow by gravity in the same
direction and will connect to the existing sanitary sewer on
Pierce Road. An easement shall be obtained from William and
Jeanne Mangino of 272 Pierce Road to allow for construction,
maintenance and access to the line. According to Fred Shaw of
the Town Engineer's office, enough reserve capacity exists in
this sewer to date for our proposed development. An existing
pump station, downstream also has enough capacity to handle our
sanitary flows.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION 14 30 AUGUST 1988
Water
Presently, water main does not exist in front of our site on
Sullivan Avenue and no water main exists nearby on Pierce Road.
We are proposing to extend a 12" main which exists near Sand
Hill Road down Sullivan Avenue to our site. This main is owned
by the Connecticut Water Company, and has a static pressure of
95 psi and residual of 87 psi at a flow of 1100 gpm. We will
serve the site from the extended main. Several hydrants have
been shown on the plans at the direction of Fire Chief Bill
Lanning.
Ms. Kaemmerlen said buildings were being kept at least 40, away from th
nearest wetlands, and that only two very small areas of wetlands would be
disturbed by installation of the detention basin. In response to a
qu stion from Mr. Nadel, Ms. Kaemmerlen said the extension of water from
Sand Hill down to the site would involve about 1000' of water main.
Engin r Steve Mitchell said traffic statistics had already been covered,
but that he wanted to address Mrs. Rossi's question about the number of
vehicl s per dwelling unit. He said the Institute of Transportation
Engin ers had recently published a new Trip Generation Manual involving an
interpolated series of curves that was difficult to capsule, but that
slightly and r ten trips per dwelling unit was a figure often used. He
ask d that the traffic report be entered into the record.
After a final summary by Atty. Lanza, the public hearing adjourned.

the obtaining of all Town agency approvals including, but not limited to Wetlands approvals as
may be required by the Town) which will be addressed in Section 3, the Site Plan Approval

"`' "• which will be addressed in Section 5. „
Section 2. - Zone Change Phase. The Developer presently has pending before. the. Town

provisions of this Agreement.
Subsection 2.1 - Concurrent Applications. The Developer further agrees that Developer's
application for a RO or RC zone change and the Developer's application for it MF zone change
and approval of the General Plan of Development shall be pursued concurrently with the Zoning

Zoning Commission in its deliberations on said zone change and General Plan of Development
applications either approve both the applications or deny both applications through whatever

Re: Route 5 Improvements
Dear Mr. Schweir:
I am writing to confirm our telephone conversation of January 5,
1989 concerning the subject improvement. You informed me that
it has been your observation that the southeast corner of Route
5 and Sullivan Avenue is a dangerous location due to an
inadequate turning radius for WB-50 trucks. In addition, the
location of a 48-inch tree at this corner is such that it has
been hit numerous times by the trucks. The proposed improvement
would decrease the turning radius which would further aggravate
the existing problem.
It is our understanding that the removal of this tree would
impact your house and property, and therefore, would require a
take on your land. It is beyond the scope of this development
to undertake this improvement under those conditions. At this
time, we intend to withdraw this plan from the Gerber
application.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter.

State of Connecticut, mailing address c/o P.O. Box 667, 1610 Ellington Road, South Windsor,
Connecticut 06074 (the "Developer").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Developer has entered into a contract to purchase, or has an option to
purchase, two (2) parcels of land located on the east and west sides of Sullivan Avenue, which

industry standards for such Road Improvements that Developer could have
reasonably projected for November of 1988.®
b. If latent site conditions are encountered which could not have been
reasonably anticipated by Developer and which resulted in the cost of said road
construction increasing significantly over the road construction cost based on
customary industry standards for such Road Improvements that Developer could
reasonably have anticipated in November of 1988.,Z)
Subsection 4.1.2.2 - If the Town challenges Developer's determination hereunder, the
matter shall be resolved through binding arbitration utilizing the American Arbitration Society

relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 4.
Subsection 4.2 - Completion of Road Improvements and Issuance of Certificate of
Occupancy. If Developer has elected to pursue the performance of its obligations under this
Section 4 of this Agreement pursuant to the requirements of Subsection 4.1.1 of this Agreement,
then Developer hereby specifically agrees that no certificate of occupancy will be issued for any
such structure nor will Developer request any certificate of occupancy for any structure

on a continuous, diligent and good faith basis as shall be reasonably determined by the Town
and said Road Improvements are not completed or the completion thereof has been stopped or
hindered through no fault of the Developer, then Developer shall be entitled to obtain
certificates of occupancy during any such period of time where the factors set forth in this
sentence shall continue to exist. If it is determined that Developer will not be required to
comply with the provisions of Subsection 4.1.1 hereof but will have to comply with Subsection

does the Letter of Credit, and either issued by the same bank that issued the Letter
of Credit or such other bank as may be satisfactory to the Town in its sole and
absolute discretion; or (iii) delivers such other security as shall be satisfactory to
the Town in its sole and absolute discretion. The parties agree that any funds

reduce the bond below an amount equivalent to 125% of the amount of the cost of the
outstanding work (including overhead and profit) to be done on said road improvements as
determined in good faith and according to customary and acceptable industry standards by the
Town.

portions of the road improvements to that particular point in time that Developer would be
seeking such a reduction, specifically providing that in no event will the Town be required to
