ii.  Application #16-26 of T.J. Donohue, Agent; Simsbury Land Trust, Owner; for a Special Exception pursuant to Article Ten, Section E, of the Simsbury Zoning Regulations, OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS, for Phase 1 of the parking area on the property located at East Weatogue Street (Assessor’s Map H11, Block 106, Lot 037A). Zones R-40 and R-80. (received 06/06/2016; public hearing opened 07/11/2016 and continued to 07/25/2016; public hearing must be closed by 08/15/2016).

Ms. Rita Jepsen of 137 East Weatogue Street said that the proposed parking lot is located in an historic district. She is concerned about the impact on the historic area as well as safety, aesthetics and wetlands. She added that when the parking lot is full, then people will park on the road which is unsafe for drivers, bikers and runners.  Ms. Jepsen questioned the cost of maintaining the parking lot and the nuisance issues with trash and kids to hanging out. Ms. Jepsen said that she would like to see a complete plan.

Ms. Katie MacQuattie of 133 East Weatogue Street said she lives across the street and has young children. She agrees with Ms. Jepsen’s comments and added that part of the street is crowded and drivers aren’t familiar with the turn in the road and tend to speed.

Ms. Sue Bednarcyk of 119 East Weatogue Street said she would like to see a complete application.  There are a lot of open-ended questions such as the budget, drainage, signage, and environmental issues such as oil from cars parked in the lot.

Mr. Bob Duguay of 11 Nod Brook Drive said he is a member of the Simsbury Land Trust and is requesting the public hearing to remain open until Mr. T. J. Donohue, Agent, is available to speak.

Mr. Jamie Rabbitt responded to Mr. Dugauay’s request and said the applicant or legal counsel representing the applicant (not a member of the association) has the authority to request an extension of the public hearing. Mr. Rabbitt added that Mr. Donohue is aware of the public hearing. He added that the Historic District doesn’t recommend approval of the application. 

After some discussion, the Commission agreed to keep the public hearing open in the event Mr. Donohue arrives later in the evening.

Commissioner Elliott moved to continue the public hearing until 8:30 pm on July 25, 2016 for Application #16-26 of T.J. Donohue, Agent. Commissioner Beinstein seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.

 iii. Application #16-28 of Frank J. Lucca, Powdermen Spirits Company, LLC, Agent; 1&3 Mill Pond Partners, LLC, Owner; for a Special Exception pursuant to Article Ten, Section H, of the Simsbury Zoning Regulations for a liquor permit on the property located at 1 Mill Pond Lane (Assessor’s Map F11, Block 103, Lot 005-23).

Mr. Frank Lucca answered questions from the Commission.  He described the lower level to include the still, bottling and “bonded” storage.  Upstairs will include the tasting room, office area, and seating. Mr. Lucca added that deliveries will be small enough to hand carry. He intends to keep the business small. He added if the business grows then he will move. 

Commissioner Gray moved to close the public hearing at 7:35 pm for Application #16-28 of Frank J. Lucca, Powdermen Spirits Company, LLC. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Beinstein and it was unanimously approved.

iv. Application #16-31 of Brian Denno, Denno Land Surveying, Agent; Frank J. Sidoti, Jr., Owner; for a Special Exception pursuant to Article Seven, Section 9, of the Simsbury Zoning Regulations for an accessory dwelling unit above the proposed garage on the property located at 9 Nod Brook Drive (Assessor’s Map C19, Block 510, Lot 044). Zone R-40. (received 06/20/2016; public hearing opened 07/11/2016 and continued to 07/25/2016; public hearing must be closed by 08/15/2016).

Mr. Chuck Shimkus, Attorney for the applicant, introduced Mr. Brian Denno of Denno Land Surveying & Consulting.

Mr. Brian Denno of Denno Land Surveying & Consulting said that the current garage will be torn down and a new garage will be constructed with an in-law apartment on the second floor.  Mr. Denno passed around pictures of the property to the Commission showing the wooded property and long driveway. The applicant showed a picture on his cell phone of the current garage to the Commission. Mr. Rabbitt said that a picture from the cell phone cannot be considered. Mr. Denno also discussed the traffic study and impact on the neighborhood.

For the record, Mr. Shimkus submitted to town staff the following: two affidavits, one petition of neighbors supporting the application; two emails objecting to the application; and one letter from Ms. Elizabeth Goldfarb rescinding her original statement objecting to the application.

Mr. Shimkus said that Mr. Frank Sidoti lives in the home with his wife, step children and in-laws. The in-law apartment will utilize the same utilities (well water).

Mrs. Mercuri stated that she is currently living in the same house as the applicant. Her daughter and son-in-law will continue to reside in the house when she and her husband move to the in-law apartment over the garage.

Mr. Bob Duguay of 11 Nod Brook strongly objects to the application.  He said that Mr. and Mrs. Mercuri had a fire in their home and are currently living with their son-in-law. The living area of the proposed structure is 990 sq. ft. but the entire structure is 2,500 sq. ft. Mr. Duguay also commented that the applicant isn’t converting an existing structure into an in-law apartment; they are building a new structure.  He added that the structure “excessive” in size and will disrupt his quality of life. Mr. Duguay thinks the structure will depreciate the property value of the homes on Nod Brook Drive. In addition, Mr. Duguay said that the structure is in the side lot and, as defined by code, you can’t have two structures in the front or side lots. Therefore, the structure can’t be built.

Mr. Monty MacNeil of Nod Brook said that he objects to the application because it doesn’t fit in the neighborhood and it will impact the value of homes.  He added that the in-law apartment might become a rental in the future.

Mr. Jeff Pinney of 7 Nod Brook said that he supports the applicant because they are taking care of family. He can see the structure from his home and it doesn’t impact his or his wife’s life.

Mr. Lenore Lynch of 12 Nod Brook said he sympathizes with the applicant but opposes the application. The in-law apartment will change the character in the neighborhood and decrease the property values.

Mr. Tom Downes of 13 Nod Brook said he also sympathizes with the situation. He originally thought it was a single floor 990 sq. ft. in-law apartment. Mr. Downes said he doesn’t want it to become a rental unit and the structure will have an impact on the neighborhood.

Ms. Lucille Duguay of 11 Nod Brook said that the photographs show foliage which blocks the view of the house. She referenced an article published in the Hartford Courant on July 24, 2016 indicating the local housing market for Simsbury. The article states the prices of houses in Simsbury has decreased 23.9% in the past year. Ms. Duguay added that property value is a concern if the structure is built.

Mr. John Link of 26 Westledge Dr. said he lives directly behind the applicant and hears their current backyard activities. He is concerned that it will become a rental unit in the future and the noise will increase.

Ms. Susan Downes of 13 Nod Brook said that she opposes the application because the structure is very large and easily visible when the leaves are off the trees. She is also concerned that the structure can be modified to have more rooms in the future.

Mr. Bill Barto of 16 Nod Brook said he would like to see other design plans. There are no other design plans other than the “barn” to take into account.

Mr. Chuck Shimkus addressed the Commission again stating that the new structure is 550 sq. ft in addition to the original. He added that the Commission can condition approval that the in-law apartment is only for family members. Also, Mr. Shimkus said that the structure is large, but the property is 8-9 acres and the applicant is willing to screen it.

Mr. Brian Denno said that additional parking would be required to meet town requirements.

Mr. Sidoti answered questions from the Commission.  He said the in-law apartment can be accessed through the garage and main house. The storage area is unheated and unfinished.

Mr. Jamie Rabbitt told the Commission that the picture of the barn is not representative of the floor plan provided.

Mr. Chuck Shimkus said the applicant is willing to extend the public hearing 65 days and will provide an accurate rendering of the floor plan with elevations. He provided a letter to town staff requesting the extension. Commissioner Elliott requested town staff to ask the town attorney to review the application since the structure is a replacement, not an expansion.

At this time, Commissioner Peterson requested to close the public hearing for Application #16-26 of T.J. Donohue since it is past the 8:30 pm deadline as indicated in the motion above.

Commissioner Ryan moved to amend the agenda to address Application #16-26 of T.J. Donohue, Agent; Simsbury Land Trust, Owner; for a Special Exception. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Doyle and was unanimously approved.

Commissioner Peterson moved to close the public hearing at 8:55 pm for Application #16-26 of T.J. Donohue, Agent; Simsbury Land Trust, Owner; for a Special Exception pursuant to Article Ten, Section E, of the Simsbury Zoning Regulations, OFF-STREET PARKING REGULATIONS. Commissioner Elliott seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.

Commissioner Gray moved to continue the public hearing September 19, 2016 at the Simsbury Town Hall for Application #16-31 of Brian Denno, Denno Land Surveying, Agent; Frank J. Sidoti, Jr., Owner; for a Special Exception pursuant to Article Seven, Section 9, of the Simsbury Zoning Regulations for an accessory dwelling unit above the proposed garage on the property located at 9 Nod Brook Drive (Assessor’s Map C19, Block 510, Lot 044). Zone R-40. (received 06/20/2016; public hearing opened 07/11/2016 and continued to 07/25/2016; public hearing must be closed by 08/15/2016).

v.  Application #16-32 of Cumberland Farms, Inc., Applicant; Joseph P. Williams, Esq., Shipman & Goodwin LLP, Agent; for Text Amendments to the Simsbury Zoning Regulations in Article Ten, Section C.3.h, and Article Ten, Section C.7.d, to permit owners of certain gasoline filling stations to replace their existing, manually-updated price signs set atop the gas pumps with identically sized LED pump toppers. (received 06/20/2016; public hearing set for 07/25/2016; public hearing must be closed by 08/29/2016).

Mr. Joe Williams of Shipman & Goodwin said his applicant is requesting a text change to allow modernization of gas prices displayed on top of gas pumps.  Currently, the prices are magnetic numbers manually changed by employees. Changing to digital signage would be more efficient and safer for employees. The signs have illuminated LED white numbers displayed perpendicular to the road, limiting visibility from the road.

Ms. Carolyn Parker, Cumberland Farms Sign Consultant, brought a sample of the LED sign displayed on top of the pumps. She said film can cover the numbers in order to dim the brightness; controls can also dim the lighting as well.

Commissioner Peterson commented that he is opposed to re-writing the regulations for the convenience of the owner.  He added that it’s up to Cumberland Farms to meet the town regulations. Commissioner Elliott said that the Planning Commission unanimously opposed the application.

Mr. Jamie Rabbitt told the Commission that the Planning Commission doesn’t recommend approval of the application based on current POCD guidelines. 

Commissioner Gray moved to close the public hearing at 9:25 pm for Application #16-32 of Cumberland Farms, Inc., Applicant; Joseph P. Williams, Esq., Shipman & Goodwin LLP, Agent; for Text Amendments to the Simsbury Zoning Regulations Commissioner Beinstein seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved.
