To Whom it May Concern,
We have submi?ed an applica?on to the Town of South Windsor, CT to request approval for a
major home occupa?on opera?on on our property. We have submi?ed this request with the inten?on of
opening a co?age bakery in our home. We intend to produce celebra?on cakes, cupcakes, specialty
cookies, cake pops, gourmet marshmallows, co?on candy, as well as a variety of breads. We will not hire
any outside employees; the business will be run solely by Francisco and Katy Rivera. As products will be
sold at farmer’s markets and vendor events, or by special order only, there will not be open hours of
opera?on for the public to come to the property. Special orders which are picked up from our home will
be scheduled in advance, and will be conducted only between the hours of 9am and 8pm. All customers
will be directed to park in our driveway upon arrival to avoid impeding traffic.
Thank you for your considera?on,
Francisco and Katy Rivera

The application has been reviewed under the 2022 CT State Building Codes.
1) Are you going to be using a commercial oven, or a residential oven?
- I will be using my residential oven.
2) Is there going to be a place in the house where you will have meetings with potential
customers or customers who are picking up orders?Are you having any customers come to
the house to discuss placing orders or pick up orders?
- There will be no meetings or order pick up taking place inside the house. Order
consults will be conducted electronically, or in a public meeting place if the need for
more in-depth conversation arises. We will offer the option at times for orders to be
picked up, but we plan to treat this in a “curbside pick up” style, with customers
parking in the driveway and us bringing the order out to their car.
3) How are you going to handle any handicapped people that come to the residence?
- If a handicapped person arranged for pick up at the residence we would bring their
order out to their vehicle for them; all pick up orders would be scheduled in advance.
Be advised that this is a review for the Planning and Zoning application only and not for any
