Please be aware that the Town of South Windsor regulates the use of lots within Town, and requires site plans before any activity begins. A review of Town records does not reveal any site plan for the storage of vehicles and parts of vehicles on that site. The condition of the vehicles being stored on the property could render the site a motor vehicle junkyard under the Town definitions. Such a use is not allowed in the industrial zone. A copy of the relevant sections of the zoning regulations is attached for your review. Please remove the trailers and other vehicles, and if you wish to utilize this site, submit a site plan for review by November 5, 2018 to avoid enforcement action from this office. Call me at (860) 644-2511, ext. 251 if you have any questions. Thank you for your cooperation. Sincerely, Pamela A.
