Subject:LaFlamme/Carter property at 1891 Main St
i took a call on Friday from Bob Cohn regarding activity at the “structure"on the LaFIamme property at
1891 Main St.Apparently there are workers in there,and Mr.Cohn says there are plumbers as well.He
was concerned that they were doing something without proper sewage disposal.I saw nothing in Munis
for permits in a really quick look —do you know of anything going on there?

Hi Sean,
See the email beiow regarding the Cohn’s property which is adjacent to the propeny Iocated at 1891 Main
Street in South Windsor.After our January 17‘“meeting,when you and I discussed the requirements for
B1 00a for the property at 1891 Main Street,i spoke with Fred Shaw to confirm whether or not public
sewer wouid be avaiiabie.At the time,he said that the sewer line was able to be extended down the
right of way to service this property.Recently,he acknowledged that the property is within the
DEEP’s area of conservation and therefore is not within the town’s sewer service area.

Mr.Cohn:
I have determined that the property at 35 Ferry Lane is not within the Town's Sewer Service Area,and
therefore,can not be connected to the sewer.The Sewer Service Area Map shows that this area is within
a conservation area as designated in the State’s Office of Policy and Management’s (0PM)Plan of
Conservation and Development.Extension of sewers to serve property within conservation areas is not
permitted by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (D.E.E.P.).This property must be
served by a subsurface (septic)disposal system,or must provide evidence to the Town‘s Water Pollution
Control Authority (W.P.C.A.)as to why this can not be done.
3/28/2012
Page 2 of 3
The W.P.C.A.will consider any such evidence as may be provided by the property owner in his/her request for
sewer service in obtaining the approval of OPM and D.E.E.P.for sewer extensions.

planning on having our septic tank pumped in the near future,as we do every couple of years.Our system was ‘installed in 1989 and as with everything else in our house,I’m anticipating that there may be maintenance costs In
the future as the septic system gets older.Can you confirm for me whether it would be possible for us to connect
to sewers in the area if necessary?
If you could let me know what you think as soon as you get the chance l would appreciate it.Thanks.

Hi Sherry
Hope you and Terri are having fun in DC.I printed everything out and read through it,and had a long
discussion with Andy and Peter from Design Professionais (who were looking for my letter).The
determination of the use of the pumphouse building needs to be made by someone at the town level,
and it appears that the 2E0 is treating this as a new change in use.Ifthat is the case,then a BlOOa
review by the health department (you)would be required -unless public sewers (PS)are available —
which is still in question.
If PS are not available,then soils testing,code—complying areas,etc.will be needed.It may be possible
to tie the pumphouse into the existing septic system (if not already done),but an evaluation of the
existing system will be needed.If the existing system is within the well arc and/or limited in leaching
capacity,then a central system connection will not be allowed,and a new system for the pumphouse
may have to be installed.
If PS are available,then a 8100a review may not be applicable,but connecting the pumphouse into the
existing system would depend on the well location relevant to the existing system —meaning that it
would have to be a minimum 75 feet away.And as mentioned,its not clear if the property owner will be
able to connect into the public sewer line.That issue would have to be clarified.
Either case will likely require that a site assessment be performed by a qualified individual locating any
private wells (owners,neighbors),and determining where the building sewer from the pumphouse is
going.lt is important to note that your office has no information on the existing septic system serving
the pumphouse building,and therefore should not provide any opinions on its adequacy or how its
functioning.The property owner does have several options to pursue obtaining approval for the
proposed use of the pumphouse building (if allowed by zoning)-but with limited information on the
existing system,site conditions,and public sewer access —its difficult for me to provide any more
information based on assumptions.
When you return i would be happy to discuss this matter further with your,or it may be useful to
arrange a meeting with other interested parties.
Bye.

Detached Accessory Apartment
Thomas Laflamme
1891 Main Street
South Windsor,Connecticut
DPI Proj.No.3 142
February 21,2012
Thomas Laflamme has applied to the South Windsor Planning &Zoning Commission for approvalofadetachedaccessoryapartmentat1891MainStreetinaccordancewithArticle7,Section 7.1 .4oftheSouthWindsorZoningRegulations.The property is owned by Thomas Laflamme andKathleenCarter,both of whom are residents thereof.
Description of 1891 Main Street —Situated Within the A-40 zoning district,and also within theSouthWindsor(local)and East Windsor Hill (federal)historic districts,1891 Main Street is at thenorthwestcomeroftheintersectionofMainStreetandFerryLane.The three acre propertycontainsmultiplebuildings.Foremost is the large historic brick residence,which will be 200 yearsoldnextJune.Fronting on Main Street,it contains approximately 8-,547 square feet,sevenchimneys,and is predominantly two stories high,although a portion of the west wing contains athirdstory.It is one of the remaining structures on Main Street with a slate roof (Union DistrictSchoolandtheRaymondresidenceareothers),and is one of the three brick “Bissell Houses”,allofwhichwerebuiltinthe1812-1 8 1 5 period and are of the Federal style.The subject house waserectedbyCaptainAaronBissell.The other Bissell Houses are the Burnham residence to thenorth,and the Raymond residence to the south of the East Windsor Hill Post Office,which ishistoricaswell.Across Ferry Lane from 1891 Main Street is the site of the former Bissell Tavern,which is used in the autumn for the annual Heritage Days event,which celebrates South Windsor’sculturalheritage.Tom is an organizer for that event.Tom and Kathleen reside in the easterly orfrontsectionofthehouseandadulttenantsresideinthewesterlywingThebuildinghasfourcarnagestallsattheextremewesterlyendOnthesouthSldeofthehouselsalargewoodenporchwhichwasrecentlyrestoredandreconstructed(1t was 1n a severely deteriorated condltlon)Indeed1tneededtobetotallyrebuiltLocalhlstorlansincludingmembersofthelocalhistoricdlstrictcommission,wanted the porch saved as a significant feature ofthis important historic property.Ofeconomicnecessity,the home’s two large oil furnaces were recently replaced by high efficiencynaturalgasfiredfurnaces.The owners have the highest,or certainly among the highest,localresidentialtaxbillsonMainStreet.The building was vacant for some four years before it wasacquiredlastyearbyMr.Laflamme and Ms.Carter (who have been residents of Main Street forthelast12years).It has been a labor of love since then.They are constantly improving andrestoringtheresidence.If you own an old house,you will appreciate the effort and expense tomaintainit.If you are familiar with Union District School,which is 100 years newer,you will
G:\jobs\3142\Docs\App|ications\3142 .PZC Narrative Statement .2—21 ~201 2.doc
appreciate what can become of a structure if maintenance is deferred.A maj or fundraising
campaign has been launched by the historical society to pay for its restoration,after years of
neglect.
TO the west of the home,along Ferry Lane,is a large historic wooden barn,circa 18 l 3,which
contains another ll carriage stalls.On the north side of the property is a garage building,circa
1923 (foundation reads 1918),containing another three carriage stalls and workshop.To the west
of that garage building is the historic brick “Pump House”building,also 200 years 01d next year,approximately 22 feet from the closest property line (as measured by the applicant and witnessed
by a DPI staff member).The pump house is the location of the detached accessory apartment.It
contains an existing studio apartment,created around 1992 and occupied for most of the
intervening years,with 580 square feet of finished floor space.Features are high wooden ceilings,
,some brick and sheetrock walls,multiple windows,a deck,a wood stove,a kitchen area,a living
room area,a bedroom area,closet space,and a full bathroom.It is in need of attention,but nothing
maj 0r.Also on the property and on the south side of the pump house are four old square
foundations (bases)for an old windmill,now gone,which powered the well in the pump house.
The well served multiple East Windsor Hill properties and residences with running water.To the
west of the pump house is the shell of an old house relocated there hom offsite many years ago.
The property contains other outbuildings,all of which purportedly date back to 18 l 3.
All driveways on the property are on Ferry Lane (two curb cuts).The easterly driveway is gravel.The westerly driveway,which is paved and then tums into gravel,serves 1891 Main Street,the
pump house,many of the outbuildings,and the two residences to the west at 35 and 47 Ferry Lane
(Cohn and St.Cyr).Along the westerly side of the driveway is an arborvitae hedge and fence,
which ends where the paved driveway enters the Cohn property.The driveway then tums to the
west until it enters the St.Cyr property.Along the north side ofthe Cohn property are three large
white pine trees and a long shed.
The tenant for the pump house apartment will have use of a garage space(s)in the adjoining garagebuilding.
When reviewing this application,please note that the existing primary dwelling contains two large
dwelling units,each of which are larger than most houses in this community.Nowhere in the
detached accessory apartment regulations is there language which precludes a property owner from
securing approval for a detached accessory apartment if the main house is a two—family residence.
This has been confirmed by Flaming Department staff.Another noteworthy consideration is that
the subject property contains approximately three acres,which is more than three times the lot size
in the A-40 zoning district (40,000 square feet,which is less than one acre).
As required in the regulations,the applicant has provided a class D survey plan,which,under state
code,does not require fleld work or measurements.Obviously the Planning &Zoning Commission
did not want to burden applicants with the expense of higher level surveys for an accessory
apartment.Elevations of the pump house and a floor plan have also been provided.
The purposes of the special zoning regulations for accessory apartments are to:“1)Encourage the
provision of moderately priced housing by allowing accessory apartments by Special Exception in
all single-family residential zones.”And “2)Allow temporary apartments (in-law apartments)for
family members”.The latter provision does not apply in this application,but the former certainly
does apply,in that the applicant will be providing a moderately priced studio apartme the A—
G:\Jobs\3l 42\Docs\Applications\3l42 ,PZC Narrative Statement .2—21 -201 2.doc
ni
40 residential zoning district,which is a single-family residential zone,which is consistent with the
Planning &Zoning Commission’s intent.
In reviewing the accessory apartment regulations under Section 7.1 .2,the applicant has researched
the assessor records for all properties within a 1,000 feet radius,and found that no “accessory
apartments”exist per the assessor records (no more than 10%allowed).There is an apartment in
the East Windsor Hill Post Office building,however,which is listed in the assessor records as“mixed use office/apartment”.This application thus conforms with this requirement.
Pursuant to the other review criteria for approval of accessory apartments under Section 7.1.2,the
proposed detached accessory apartment will not exceed 700 square feet (40%of both units is far
greater than that).The main dwelling unit was constructed prior to 1990.The main dwelling and
the pump house maintain the appearance of a single-family dwelling.Off-street parking for at least
three vehicles must be provided,and the subject property has garage spaces for at least 18 vehicles.
The owner of the dwelling units does occupy a dwelling unit on the property.The property has
adequate water and sewage disposal.Public utility services are in Main Street (sanitary seWer is
stubbed at the comer of Main Street and Ferry Lane,and public water is available at the
intersection of Main Street and Sullivan Avenue).
Addressing the five approval criteria for in—law apartments under Section 7.l .3,the proposedapartmentislessthan900squarefeet,both dwellings maintain the appearance of a single-family
dwelling,off-street parking for more than three vehicles is provided,adequate water and sewage
disposal is provided and utility services are nearby in the street,and the owner will occupy the
main dwelling unit.
Addressing the approval criteria under Section 7.1 .4 for detached accessory apartments,the
conversion of the pump house to an accessory apartment does not include any building footprint
expansion,the accessory building observes all setbacks required of a principal structure 0n this
corner lot,and the apartment has living space between 500 and 800 square feet (actual is 580
square feet of floor area;somewhat more if measured on the outside of the structure).
The commission has the authority to waive any of the provisions of Section 7.1.2 A or 7.1.3A,but
we do not see any need to request a waiver based on our reading of the regulations.
The applicant or his agent will address the special exception review criteria (l4 items)under
Section 8.4 B.at the hearing.
Mr.Laflamme thanks you for consideration of his application for a detached accessory apartment.

RE:Laflamme Detached Accessory Apartment,1891 Main St.,S.Windsor
Michele,
This is a pre—existing structure that has historically been utilized as an apartment;the
structure is on a private septic system,and a private well.The health department
has no information in the tiles on the existing septic system for the pump house
(apartment).Typically,if the structure is pre-existing,the usage of the building has
not changed,and the septic system and well are in good working condition,the
health department would not have any requirements.
i will have the property owner complete a B1 00a application so that we may update
our mes with the most recent infonnation.ln the event that the septic system fails,
the property owner will be required to connect to city sewer.l have verified with the
Water Pollution Control Authority that the sewer line is able to be extended down the
right of way to service this property.In addition,the property owner needs to have
the watertested and must submit a copy of the results to the health department to
ensure that the water supply is potable.

Hi Kate,
In regards to the studio apartment on your property;because you have not made any
alterations,conversions or additions to the structure on the property,and the structure
is pre-existing,as long as the well and septic system are functioning properly you would
not be required to file any paperwork with the health department.South Windsor does not
have a housing code program related to rental dwellings so you would just need to be aware
of the state statutes in regards to landlord/tenant responsibilities.I have attached a
document with Connecticut guidelines in regards to landlord and tenant rights and
responsibilities for you to review.Please check with the fire marshal,zoning,and
building departments for their requirements.Please don‘t hesitate to contact me if youneedanyadditionalinformation.Happy Holidays!!!~Sherry

Subject:thank you and follow up
Hi Sherry:
Thanks so much for taking the time to advise me regarding our efforts to return the brick
structure on our property to its most recent use as a studio apartment.I want to confirm
my understanding of our conversation.Based on your feedback,it is my understanding that
because the structure had been functioning as an apartment since the 1990‘s1n31nrtil
December 2010 and because there have been no issues resulting from this use as a
residence,there is no need for you to inspect the septic and/or water associatadlNith
this structure.In essence,because the structure has functioned in this capacity without
incident,we could continue to make use of the current systems in place.We will be
following a variety of protocols to move forward (certified letters to neighbors,class D
survey,floor plan drawings,etc.)but as far as septic/water compliance we should be all
set.Could you confirm?Once we isolate this variable we will move forward with the
other requirements to this process.Again,thanks for your assistance and happy
holidays...Kate

Dear Ms.Lavey:
We recently received notification,by way 0f your real estate listing,that the pump house
located on your property at 1891 Main St is being rented as a separate dwelling unit.
Neither,the Town’s Building Department or the Assessor’s Office,nor the Planning
Department has record of a permit for this use,which is a Violation of the South Windsor
Zoning Regulations specifically section 7.1.4 Detached In-Law and Accessory
Apartments.
If you wish to file for a Special Exception,potentially allowing the use,please contact the
Flaming and Zoning Office to begin the application process,otherwise pleasediscontinuetheuseofthepumphouseasanapartmentwithinthenextten(1 O)days.If
the timeframe for compliance does not allow for sufficient time to correct the problem,
please contact me upon receipt of this letter.
I have enclosed a copy of the Zoning Regulations regarding Detached Accessory

Re:1891 Main St --Accessory Dwelling Unit
Dear Ms.Lavey:
We recently received notification,by way of your real estate listing,that the pump house
located on your property at 1891 Main St is being rented as a separate dwelling unit.
Neither,the Town’s Building,Department or the Assessor’s Office has record of a permit
for this use,which is a violation of the South Windsor Zoning Regulations specifically
section 7.1.4 Detached In-Law and Accessory Apartments.
If you wish to file for a Special Exception,potentially allowing the use,please contact the
Planning and Zoning Office to begin the application process,otherwise please
discontinue the use of the pump house as an apartment within the next ten (10)days.If
the timehame for compliance does not allow for sufficient time to correct the problem,
please contact me upon receipt of this letter.Should you fail to correct the violation
within ten (10)days,and do not contact me regarding the situation,it could result in
further enforcement action.
Ihave enclosed a copy of the Zoning Regulations regarding Detached Accessory
Apartments.
Please contact me with any questions you may have at 860-644-2511 ext.25 l.
Sincerely,
Robert W.Seale mb tab
