Application srj ,J7-83 - Richard E. Fournier
Mr. Fournier appeared before the Board. He stated he wishes to add a six-fo
extension to the end of his house plus a two-car garage. He stated that
about one-half of the houses on this street have garages. In reply to a
question from a Board member, Mr. Fournier said there was about 45 feet from
the property line on the proposed garaqe side of the house to the adjacent
house. He said his sign had been posted and there were no objections from
his neighbors that he knew of. It was noted for the record that no one spok,
in favor of or in opposition to this appeal.
Mr. Fournier noted that the application does not address the non-conforming
front yard. He said the house encroaches five feet on the building line, an(
the addition will only encroach three feet. Mr. Murrin said the existing hoi
and the addition are still encroaching on the 50-foot building line and shout
have been included as a variance in the application. He said the Board woulc
have to discuss whether the application should be reheard next month. He sa:
Mr. Fournier would be notified.
Application #1598-85 - Richard C. Carabillo
Attorney Frank Russo appeared before the Board representing this application.,
He said several of Mr. Carabillo's neighbors had stated they want d to be in
attendance, and since they were not yet present, he asked that this appeal
be postponed.
Application #1599-85 - Walter Kupchunos, Sr.
Attorney Wayne Gerlt appeared before the Board representing this application.
He said Walter, Jr. and Al Kupchunos are requesting permission to put an
office into a former tobacco warehouse and processing facility next to
Sophie Kupchunos' house on Ellington Road. He said that presently Walter an
Al are operating their businesses out of a garage on the other side of Sophie
house. This Board granted a variance for that use several years aqo. They
need more space at this time and plan to expand and renovate the building in
question. At the present time they will not be occupying the entire building
even though the entire structure will be renovated. Mr. Gerlt stated that
they may wish to rent a portion of the building out to other office uses.
There is no intent to change the appearance of the building except to improve
it. Any additional parking will be to the rear of the building. He said them
is no further need for this building for its original intended use, and it
would be very expensive to demolish it.
It was noted for the record that no one spoke in favor of or in opposition
to this application.
In reply to questioning from the Board, Al Kupchunos said they plan to gut the
inside of the building, insulate, do electrical work, sheet rocking, carpeting_
He replied that the building is 32' x 621 . He said the cost of renovating it
will require them to rent a portion at this time. However, if their businesse
continue to grow, they will soon need all of it. He said the number of car
trips a day is presently 3 and might go to 6. He also said they will be using
the existing driveway and there will be no additional cut onto Ellington Road.
A
He noted that all of the locations for the signs are the same as in the past
d except the one on the corner of Ellington Road and Chapel Road which has been
tes moved across the street. In granting this approval he noted that all previous
ye conditions of approval shall remain in full force and effect.

Mrs. Cottle stated that although she has no problem with the proposal by
the Kupchunos brothers, she is concerned about a variance which always stays
with the property and feels it is "spot zoning."

Mr. Joseph Krawski, 215 Foster Street, spoke in favor of
this application. He said he was the largest owner of
asperagus in the State and he would like to preserve this
by delaying development of the entire rear parcel.
Mr. Linc Streeter, 259 Foster Street, spoke in opposition
to this application. He stated he lives on lot #1 of the
street developed property. He said he is not in opposition
to development of the entire parcel, but is in opposition
to a lot in the rear without an approved street, sewers,
sidewalks, etc . He said it would be uncharacteristic for
the neighborhood.
Mr. Fred Kopper, 1 Autumn Drive, spoke in opposition to this
appeal. He said his concerns are the same as Mr. Streeter' s. ry
Ms. Carol Burbeck, 241 Foster Street, spoke in opposition
to this appeal. She said she was concerned about an un-
improved road and lack of sewers.

to this appeal. He said he would prefer the entire area
developed instead of just one lot.
During questioning from the Board it was established that
the "future road" was approved as part of a plan for future
development.
Mr. Murrin asked what- the- difference was in elevation
between Foster Street and the driveway. Mr. Cummings
replied that the engineer has this information. He said t
Planning and Zoning Commission would address this problem.
It was also determined that putting in the road would
cost approximately $150. per foot . It was also stated that i=
it would not be economically feasible to bring in the sewers
from the street for one lot .w,
Mr. Linc Streeter said there is a drop-off between the road
and the driveway, and he felt the neighborhood would prefer
entire development of the parcel in the rear.
Ms. Burbeck stated that the drop-off between the street and
the proposed driveway is about 10 feet and also is ledge .
She also noted that she was told the development to the r
rear would be a cul-de-sac and that Mr. Cummings had
indicated it would be cut through to Felt Road. She said
she bought this property because she was told there would
be a cul-de-sac . Mr. Warren replied that the layout of the
development and the roads would be a Planning and Zonipg
Commission decision.

variance on property located at 1979 Ellington Road. He
said this building was used for a farm office for over 40
years and is currently not being utilized. Now that Mr.
Paul Kupchunos and Mr. Walter Kupchunos, Sr. are retired,
they have no use for the building.
e stated that the area is adjacent to the Town Offices and
ear the business community in town. He noted that there
e no immediate neighbors other than family and the
ndominium project across the street. He said he runs a
rokerage-type of business done mostly over the phone with
or 3 other employees. The traffic generated would be
lnimal. He said he is presently located in East Hartford
d this location would be ideal for him. He noted that the
pact on the neighborhood would be virtually none andgattherewasmoretrafficandactivitywhenthebuilding
s used for a farming office.
Kupchunos stated that the hardship in this appeal is
hat the building in question has no suitable use . He said
he had spoken to all of the neighbors in the area and they
ere all supportive and even enthusiastic about the idea.

spoke in favor of or in opposition to this application .

Application #1490-83 - Joseph A. Krawski
The Board discussed that the only hardship proposed was
financial, which isn' t a suitable hardship for granting an
appeal. Concern was also expressed over the precedent that _
would be set as everyone who owned rear property jumped on
the "band wagon" to develop one lot without an approved
road, sidewalks, sewers, etc.
Mr. Steben moved to deny application #1490-83 requesting a
variance to Section 5.2 and Section 5.2.3 of the Zoning
Regulations to allow a lot without frontage on a public
highway at property known as lot #5, which is an interior
lot on the west side of Foster Street, approximately 178
feet, more or less, from Foster Street, Zone AA-30.
In denying this application, he noted that insufficient
hardship was shown and that a precedent would be established
of developing one lot in rear land without an improved road,
sanitary sewers or sidewalks. Additionally, the objections
of the neighbors and the fact that this development would
not be in keeping with the character of the neighborhood
were taken into consideration.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Murrins Steben, Murrin,
Cote and Warren in favor, Murray abstained. The motion
was carried.

a driveway, it has been an office in the past, and it is a
dormant building that will not be utilized.

trucks and passenger cars, therefore, are not used in highway design
standards.
There is one situation that should be treated with caution, in which
every effort should be made to provide stopping sight distances greater
than the minimum design value. When horizontal sight restrictions
occur on downgrades, particularly at the ends of long downgrades, the
greater height of eye of the truck operator is of little value, even when
the horizontal sight obstruction is a cut slope, and even when (on long
downgrades) truck speeds may closely approach or exceed those of
passenger cars. Although the average truck operator tends to be more
experienced than the average passenger car operator and quicker to
recognize hazards, it is best under such conditions to supply a stopping
sight distance that meets or exceeds the values in Table 111-1.

Decision Sight Distance
Stopping sight distances are usually sufficient to allow reasonably
competent and alert drivers to come to a hurried stop under ordinary
circumstances. flowever, these distances are often inadequate when
drivers must make complex or instantaneous decisions, when informa-
tion is difficult to perceive, or when unexpected or unusual maneuvers
are required. Limiting sight distances to those provided for stopping

Re: Kupchunos Application or Professional Office on Ellington Road Property
Our family is a recent addition to the town having relocated from
Vernon just this summer. Our decision to choose South Windsor was based in
large part upon the aggressive position the various town offices took in
preserving the character and beauty of the community. As we discussed our
location choice with friends, the same respect was echoed by many others
praising the controlled growth and intelligent planning demonstrated by the
town.
In our seven years in Vernon we watched the steady growing sprawl of strip
malls, condo projects and professional offices. We were pleased to think
that we were moving to a community that was opposed to uncontrolled
incursion of commercial growth into residential areas.
The application to convert the Kupchunos property into professional office
space is exactly the type of change we would hope our Planning and Zoning
body would deny. It would be the first domino in an all too quick
commercialization of Ellington Road. It would add traffic at an extremely
hazardous point of entry and egress. It would not be in keeping with the
present residential nature of the area. It does not add an essential
service to the immediate community that would justify approval.
Thank you for your consideration.

re : Application #1287 - Site Plan
1959 Ellington Road, South Windsor
Dear Mr . Kupchunos ;
Please be advised that the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to deny ,
without prejudice , the above-referenced application for a site plan of
development for property at 1959 Ellington Road . The Commission was quite
concerned that the proposed driveway onto Ellington Road would create a
traffic safety hazard for vehicles entering and exiting the site ; and that
the proposed parking lot would be visually disruptive to the abutting
residences .
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions regarding the
above .
Very truly yours ,
