The primary use of the property is an equine-based agricultural operation. My business consists of horse boarding, riding lessons, and guided trail rides. These activities are conducted in a controlled and safe environment and are consistent with traditional agricultural and equestrian uses within the Town of South Windsor. In addition to the equine operation, I maintain a small collection of livestock that contributes to the overall agricultural character of the farm. These animals include approximately 15 goats, 2 donkeys, 2 alpacas, 1 cow, 15 chickens, 2 turkeys, and 2 peacocks. All animals are properly housed and managed in accordance with accepted agricultural practices. As part of the continued development and improvement of the farm, I am proposing to construct an indoor riding arena on the property. This structure will allow for year-round equestrian activities, improve safety for riders and horses, and enhance the overall functionality of the agricultural operation. The proposed arena will be designed and located in a manner that is consistent with local zoning regulations and mindful of surrounding properties and environmental considerations. The property is operated with careful attention to land stewardship, including proper manure management, pasture maintenance, and maintaining appropriate setbacks from wetlands and neighboring properties. All e?orts are made to ensure that agricultural activities are conducted responsibly and with minimal impact on the surrounding area. This farm supports the local agricultural economy and provides valuable recreational and educational opportunities to the community. I respectfully request approval of this Commercial Agriculture Permit. Please feel free to contact me if any additional information, documentation, or site plans are required as part of the review process. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jonathan Heggenhougen (860) 268-5207 Jonathan06074@yahoo.com ABUTTER NOTIFICATION LETTER Date: 3-18-2026 Subject: Notice of Proposed Horse Riding Arena Construction Property Address: 375 Rye Street, South Windsor, CT Dear Neighbor, I am writing to inform you of a proposed project on my property located at 375 Rye Street in South Windsor, Connecticut. The project consists of the construction of a private horse riding arena for personal equestrian use. The arena will be located within the industrial portion of the property and has been carefully sited to minimize any impact on surrounding properties and natural resources. Speciﬁcally, the proposed arena will be situated more than 100 feet from any wetlands and will not involve any disturbance to regulated wetland areas. Construction activities will be limited to minor site grading, installation of appropriate footing materials, and drainage improvements to manage surface water. The project is intended for private use only and will not generate additional tra?ic, noise beyond typical residential/agricultural activity, or commercial operations. This notiﬁcation is being provided as part of the local review process and to keep neighboring property owners informed. If you have any questions or would like additional information regarding this project, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your time and consideration.
