APRIL 3, 2003

A Regular Meeting of the Enfield Planning and Zoning Commission was held on Thursday, April 3, 2003 in the Council Chambers, Enfield Town Hall, 820 Enfield Street, Enfield, Connecticut.  Chairman James Howard called the meeting to order at 7:32 p.m.

PRESENT:               James Howard, Chairman
                      Anthony DiPace
                      Charles Duran
                      Robert Egan
                      James Hickey, Jr.
                      Karen Krebs
                      Nicles Lefakis
                      Jeffrey Cooper, Alternate

ALSO PRESENT:   Jose Giner, Director of Planning

Chairman James Howard requested a moment of silence in memory of Gunnary Jordan.

MINUTES

Commissioner Krebs made a motion that was seconded by Commissioner Duran to approve the minutes of the meeting of March 10, 2003 as presented.  Vote was 6-0-1 (Lefakis).

STAFF COMMENTS:

a.      Town Attorney
Attorney Maria Stavropoulos updated the Commission on several cases.  She noted that the Botticello complaint was withdrawn and is now closed.  She also reported that the RYA case petition will be filed in a few days.  There is no new information on the Enfield Shade Tobacco case.  Pleadings are to be filed soon on the Pappas case.  The Town Attorney's office will be handling the Peterson case. A briefing schedule is being prepared.  If there are additional violations, the Zoning Enforcement Officer will become involved.

b.      Zoning Enforcement Officer
Mr. Bickley briefly updated the Commission on several items.  Tenants were evicted from 810 Asnuntuck Street on March 17, 2003.  The building was inspected on March 23, 2003 and the house has been returned to a 2-family dwelling as required.  It is now in the process of being sold.  Mr. Bickley spoke with the merchant on Enfield Street regarding outside display of fireworks.  At 178 North Maple Street the cement barriers need to be removed.  Mr. Slanetz was informed of the need to return to the Planning and Zoning Commission prior to any other landscaping being done.  In response to a question by Commissioner Duran, Mr. Bickley stated that the construction business at the site likely pre-dates zoning regulations.  Commissioner Duran feels the property is unsightly.

In response to another question by Commissioner Duran, Mr. Bickley agreed to visit 150 Bernardino Avenue to ensure that the renovations taking place on a garage (previously a fruit & vegetable stand) are according to the plans submitted to the Town.

Commissioner Duran also noted that the "frequent flyer" sign on the east side of Enfield Street needs to be removed.  

Commissioner Duran also noted that the cherry picker was out on Roosevelt Avenue today, April 3, 2003.

c.      Director of Planning
Mr. Giner noted that with the assistance of CRCOG, he is researching various avenues to increase revenue.  He distributed a copy of the subdivision fees for the Town of Somers, as well as a comparison of application fees charged by other towns.  He suggested that the fee structure for Enfield might be revisited and possibly restructured, according to the level of review, inspections, and engineering services required for a particular project.  He noted that State Statutes allow for higher fees if they are adopted by Town ordinance.
Commission members agreed to take up this matter at a future meeting.

Mr. Giner also reported that the sidewalk project on Steele Road is almost ready to go to bid.

Mr. Giner stated that he recently had a request in the office for a new farm retail stand in the Industrial zone.  Due to an oversight, current regulations do not allow farm retail stands in this zone.  Existing farm stands in the Industrial zone likely pre-date the regulations.

Chairman Howard asked Mr. Giner to draft appropriate changes to the regulations to allow farm stands in the industrial zones.

Commissioner DiPace asked that members receive a copy of the Planning & Zoning Regulations on CD.  

Mr. Giner reported that a chain restaurant, Paneras has asked if outdoor seating would be permissible at the Enfield Square next to Ruby Tuesday's restaurant.  They would like an outdoor fenced in area with a seasonal patio.  The area would not have waitress service.  Current regulations would allow only 4 tables and 16 chairs for a self-service area.  They would like to have 10 to 16 tables.

After some discussion, members requested that the restaurant provide either plans or personnel to discuss the matter further at an upcoming meeting.

In response to a question and frustration expressed by Commissioner Duran, Mr. Giner responded that the Planametrics project is being held up by lack of time by Staff.   He stated that his goal is to have the project ready for public hearing by June, 2003.  Staff suggestions will be provided to the commission prior to the hearing.

Commissioner Duran also brought up correspondence between Ray Warren and Scott Shanley, included in the Commissioners' packets, regarding signs.  He suggested that the Commission consider allowing A-Frame signs to be treated the same as banner signs, with no more than 6 per year.  

Mr. Giner pointed out that the regulations were changed approximately 5 years ago to allow for banner signs.  Because each business wants to stand out among the competition, there will always be new requests.

Commissioner DiPace asked that Mr. Giner send a letter to the proprietor of the business in question, include a copy of the regulations, and state that they need to be complied with, but suggest that perhaps something could be worked out with Mr. Bickley, Zoning Control Officer.  

Chairman Howard asked that a review of sign regulations be included on an upcoming agenda.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

Margaret Jedziniak of Abbe Road asked what is required for maintenance of a detention basin.  She asked if water is supposed to seep down within a certain time and what condition the basin is to be kept in.  The one near her home is never empty of water and she feels it is dangerous.

Chairman Howard stated that Mr. Bickley or the engineering department would take a look at the site.

Commissioner Duran asked that a report be sent to the Commission and Ms. Jedziniak.

Pat Solanis of 7 King Court complained of the project at JFK middle school, stating that it is a disgrace to taxpayers and an eyesore with large amounts of trash, plastic, and concrete.  

Mr. Giner stated that Mr. Bickley and the Public Works Department would look at the site.

Maryanne Turner of 7 Meadow Road complained about large piles of furniture left along the side of her road by neighbors since December, 2002.  Mr. Bickley has informed her that it is a Public Works Department issue.  The neighbors have not called for pick up.

Mr. Giner will work with Ms. Turner regarding the "blight ordinance".  He will contact her via e-mail.

Frank Jedziniak of 232 Abbe Road agreed that the JFK Middle School yard looks like a dump but thinks that Thompsonville is a good place in which to live.

COMMISSIONERS' CORRESPONDENCE

Commissioner Duran reported receipt of the latest copy of Planning Magazine.

Commissioner DiPace requested that the Health Department personnel check the restroom at the 7-11 store on Elm Street.  

Commissioner Duran expressed frustration regarding the need to refer applications to the Revitalization Committee for review.  He felt this is an unnecessary and discouraging delay to applicants, especially of a façade or sign is involved.  He asked if there is any way to provide the information to the Revitalization Committee prior to the Planning & Zoning meetings.  They are requesting information to be returned to them within 35 days, however, they meet only once every 30 days.  

Mr. Giner noted that the approval of the Revitalization Committee is not required by statute; it is done as a courtesy.

He also noted that applicants are reminded to provide a complete set of plans, including facades and signs, if appropriate.

Chairman Howard asked Mr. Giner to review and possibly find ways to streamline the current procedures.

PUBLIC HEARINGS - Continued from March 10, 2003 Meeting

a.      PH#2365 - Application for a Special Use Permit to unmerge two lots of record at the southeast corner of Belmont and Columbus Avenues (40 Columbus Avenue), Zoned R-33, Map 39, Lot 44, Dave Fredrick, applicant, Steven & Gloria White, owners. (Must close by 4/3).  

The applicant submitted a letter, withdrawing this application.  A motion was made by Commissioner Duran and seconded by Commissioner DiPace to accept withdrawal of the permit application without prejudice.  Vote was 6-0-0.

b.      PH#2366 - Application by Alan Tracy for a text amendment to Section 10.30.5 of the Zoning Regulations regarding freestanding signs for satellite uses in Business Districts. (Must close by 4/3)  

Mr. Paul Fox, on behalf of Mr. Tracy is requesting an amendment to the regulations to allow for signage on leased land within lots.  Specifically, Mr. Tracy is being deprived of a free-standing sign because he is on leased land which already has free standing signs by owners.  The lot on which Mr. Tracy's business stands cannot be subdivided because it would not meet setback requirements.  

Chairman Howard noted that the amendment would affect all sites, not just Mr. Tracy's.  

Mr. Giner noted that the sign to the Scitico Plaza in which Mr. Tracy's business is located could accommodate more signs for business identification.  Tenants that have no frontage are more in need of a free-standing sign, since that would be their only form of identification.

In response to a question by Commissioner Egan, Mr. Fox noted that Mr. Tracy's original application for signage was submitted last summer.  No changes have been made.

At this time, the public hearing on PH#2366 was opened to the public.  No one came forward to speak for or against the application.

Mr. Giner suggested that signage could be allowed as a special condition if the applicant has a particular, special consideration.

Chairman Howard recommended that the regulations be amended, but did not want such signage to be allowed without Planning & Zoning review on each application; nor did he wish the Commission to be inundated with applications.

Commissioner Egan suggested that PH#2366 be tabled until more information is received from the applicant and Mr. Alsbaugh provides a definition of "public benefit".

Members further discussed whether or not the public hearing should be extended or closed.  Mr. Fox noted that his letter dated March 18, 2003 gave the Planning & Zoning Commission approval to extend the public hearing or change the wording to the amendment if necessary.  

After discussion, the public hearing was closed by Chairman Howard and further discussion tabled.  Mr. Giner will provide a new table with new criteria of frontage/signs in various business zones.

c.      PH#2369 - Application to amend the zoning map to change zoning on 11.50 acre portion of a 14.64 acre parcel on Mullen Road from Industrial 1(I-1) to Residential 33(R-33), Map 16, Lot 3. Carl, Kimberley & Joseph Nowik, applicants/owner.

Attorney Leonard Jacobs and Bob Stewart of Stewart Appraisals came before the Commission to explain their request for a zone change from Industrial to residential.  

Mr. Jacobs explained that the applicant has tried unsuccessfully to sell the property as industrial land for several years.  He would like to change most of the lot from industrial to residential, except for a 150 foot strip to remain as industrial along land owned by World Properties, LLC so as not to affect lot 16's requirement of a 150' buffer zone when abutting residential property.  

Mr. Nowik's lot is bounded by residential to the west as well as further up Mullen Road.

This lot was previously subdivided and at that time, a 90' conservation easement was required and will continue to separate the southerly boundary from industrial property.

Mr. Nowik is proposing to build 43 active adult housing units.  At least one person in the home would have to be age 55 or older, with a minimum age of 21 for any resident.  There will be no impact to the school system.  The applicant feels the project would be in the best interest of the Town as a whole and the neighborhood.  Mr. Stewart has provided an analysis showing just under $200,000 net income yearly, which he believes to be more than an industrial building on the site would bring in tax revenues.  

Mr. Jacobs noted that while the town's Plan of Conservation & Development has determined this area to be industrial, the Plan also mentions a wide range of housing types.  This application meets the requirement of additional revenue and supports less traffic from 43 housing units than from industrial growth on the property.  

Mr. Jacobs also felt that it will be many years before all of the other industrial zoned land is at full capacity.

He mentioned a memo from Mr. Ray Warren regarding his priority of using the industrial land to promote business growth in town.  Mr. Jacobs noted that the Planning & Zoning Commission have more responsibility in that they also have to determine what is best for the health, wealth, and benefit to the community.

Changes from Industrial zone to R33 have been made in the past.  Approval of this application would not set a precedent.

The units would be over 1,500 square feet of living space and Mr. Stewart believes that over two million dollars in tax revenues could be brought in over the next ten years if the application is approved.  

Mr. Jacobs felt that if the site is developed as industrial, it would have a detrimental impact on the neighborhood.

Mr. Jacobs provided photos of likenesses of the proposed units.  The average unit would sell for approximately $285,000.

Mr. Stewart provided a copy of his fiscal impact analysis to each member of the Commission.  He explained how he arrived at his figures, noting that he spoke with several members of town staff and used a project in Vernon, Quail Crossing, to track expenses.

He noted that the residents of the proposed new development may not all be "new" residents to town, but by selling their old homes, new residents would be moving in, adding more vehicles to the tax rolls and paying taxes on the homes they purchase.

He explained his methodology in arriving at the projected revenues.  Enfield's Grand List is comprised of 61.4% residential properties and 28% non residential, with a total population of 45,246.  No educational or trash collection expenses were figured into expenses.  The total yearly expense to the town for the project would be $12,872.  At the current mil rate, the total income would be $228,500, with a net income of $196,903.  Mr. Stewart reported that the fire chief of District 1 did not feel there would be any impact on his district; the fire district taxes would be an additional $19,612.

Mr. Stewart also provided an analysis of commercial/industrial use of the land.  He was surprised to find that a business such as "high tech" would not bring in a high amount of tax dollars.

Commissioner Duran noted that industrial use of the land would also not utilize the education budget, would not necessarily create a lot of traffic, and would provide jobs.

Mr. Stewart, in conducting his analysis, found that some businesses paid less than 10% in personal property taxes compared to the value of the property.

Mr. Jacobs noted that if this type of housing isn't offered, residents will have to leave Enfield and go to other towns such as Vernon, South Windsor, Tolland, or Granby.  Also, high tech businesses could locate elsewhere in town.

Commissioner Egan noted that the new residents would be surrounded by industrial properties.

Mr. Jacobs countered that, like the requirement in Granby, deeds could state that the property is in an "economic zone" so that residents would be aware upon purchase of the property.

Commissioner Egan also noted that several other age restricted projects in town have been approved, giving residents other options.  

In answer to a question by Commissioner Egan, Mr. Nowik stated that taxes on the property are approximately $7,000/year.  

Commissioner Egan stated that the analysis needs to be adjusted because the figures used include prison population.  He also felt that because of the older population in the development, certain services, such as police, ambulance, and fire would be used more frequently than the general town population.  

Mr. Stewart reiterated that the public services are included in his analysis.  

Commissioner Egan also addressed the issue of the Plan of Development.  He noted that much effort went into creating the Plan.  The industrial uses allowed on the land take the neighborhood into consideration.  Several meetings with the neighbors were held during the development of the Plan.  

Commissioner DiPace also noted that the 150' buffer already exists on the site.  The Plan of Development was useful to allocate enough property to develop for creating jobs and pay taxes and support the community.  

Commissioner DiPace also noted that 60-70 homes were built at Kings Court after the land was zoned industrial and he had to deal with many disgruntled homeowners when they realized what the industrial development meant.  He would not want that to happen to the new residents.  

Mr. Jacobs again suggested that the deeds mention the industrial development surrounding the site and noted that the Town's budget would receive immediate financial benefit from the residential development.  

 Commissioner DiPace noted that, unlike much of the remaining undeveloped industrial land, this piece is dry.  

Commissioner Egan noted that industrial land is not abundant.  Only 16% remains undeveloped; the remainder is under water, wetlands, or already developed.

At this time, Chairman Howard opened the hearing to public comment.

Mr. Karl Nowik of 151 Crystal Lake Road, Ellington, owner of the property, stated that this lot equals ½ of 1% of the industrial land in town.  He has tried selling it for years, but the only offers have come from those wanting to build homes.  Since he purchased it in 1995/96 he has paid approximately $35,000 in taxes and received no benefit.  The land was zoned industrial when he purchased it.

In response to a question by Commissioner Hickey, Mr. Nowik admitted that he recently subdivided the land and sold a lot for $55,000.

 Colleen May of North King Street has been an abutter to the property for 51 years.  She is in favor of the application.

Laura Michaels of 1649 King Street also spoke in favor of the application.

Donna Swols of Suffield asked numerous questions regarding age and income restrictions.  Chairman Howard answered questions relevant to the application.

John Kelly of 12 King Court has lived there for 23 years and is also in favor of the application, feeling it would have a positive effect on the Town's budget.

Maryann Turner of 7 Meadow Road spoke against the application because of lighting, traffic, and dumpster/trash issues.  She also felt that the local market would not support home prices of $285,000.  She added that the new residents would likely complain about the existing truck traffic in the area.

Brian Gills of 7 King Court spoke in favor of the application.  Residents of the area have already had meetings with the applicant and had their questions answered and suggested that the Commission approve the application with conditions for items such as trash removal.

Mr. Jacobs stated, in answer to other questions, that the homes could be willed to someone under age 55, but they could not take up residence there unless it was the spouse of someone at the unit.  

Commissioner Duran read a letter from Marilyn Tyler who is against the application.

Chairman Howard closed the public hearing.

A motion was made by Commissioner DiPace to approve PH#2369.  Seconded by Commissioner Duran.  Some discussion followed.  

Commissioner Egan felt that a great deal of thought and effort went into the Plan of Development and should not be taken lightly.  Approval of this application would push the transitional stage from industrial to residential further down Mullen Road.

Commissioner DiPace felt that if the town has only residential property, there will be no place for them to work and they will move out of town to be closer to where there is employment.  Also, there are few industrial lots left that are as dry as this one is.

Commissioner Hickey added that he has not been persuaded to alter the Plan of Development.

Commissioner Duran also noted that the Commission needs to consider the residents that would occupy the units.

Commissioner Lefakis is in favor of preserving the Plan of Development.

Vote was taken and was 0-7-0 with Alternate Commissioner Cooper voting.  Motion failed.

a.      PH#2368 - Staff Initiative for a text amendment to Table 10.30.3 of the Zoning Regulations to allow larger signs for institutional uses in Residential zones.  
This item was tabled until a future meeting.
At this time, Commissioner DiPace made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Duran to continue the meeting until 11:30 p.m.  Vote was 7-0-0.
READING OF THE LEGAL NOTICE     
PUBLIC HEARINGS - NEW
a.      PH #2371 - Application for a Special Use Permit to renew the 11/25/00 approval of a modular classroom at the north side of JFK Middle School located at 155 Raffia Rd. in an R-88 District, Map 68, Lot 149, Town of Enfield applicant/owner. (Must close by 5/1)  

This public hearing was continued to the meeting of April 17, 2003.  There were no audience comments.

b.      PH #2372 - Application for a Special Use Permit for a video/pinball arcade in an existing building at 97 Pearl Street, Zoned TVCZ, Map 24, Lot 109, Adam S. McCauley, applicant/owner. (Must close by 5/1)  

Adam & Marion McCauley explained their plan to open a video/pinball arcade in between an existing Laundromat and Barber Shop.  Mrs. McCauley oversees the Laundromat next door and is on the premises for most business hours.  In her absence, video and audio cameras would be operating.  They are planning to be open for business from 9:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily.  The early opening is for the benefit of Laundromat customers, not to encourage children to skip school.  Change machines would be available for quarters and would be filled only as necessary.  Mrs. McCauley felt that over the entire workday, the premises would be left unattended for no more than 2-3 hours and probably not more than 1 ½ hours at any one time.  The building faces Walnut Street and surrounded by businesses, so noise is not an issue.  The Fire Marshal will inspect, but did not foresee a problem.  Parking is available in a lot across the street.  Mrs. McCauley also stated that she spoke with Sargeant Hall and he felt the video tape was a good idea.  The video camera will not be monitored.

Commissioner Duran asked that there be full time supervision during business hours or close when no one is available to supervise.  He also requested a written report from Sergeant Hall.  

The McCauleys are not seeking to erect a sign.

When opened to the public for comment, no one came forward to speak for or against this application.

The public hearing is continued to April 17, 2003.

Commissioners Cooper and DiPace left the meeting for the evening at 11:16 p.m.

PH #2373 - Application for a Special Use Permit for Hope's Place Cancer Support Center, Inc. to change the former St. Adalbert's Convent from residential use to personal services use at 82 Alden Avenue, Zoned TVCZ, Map 28, Lot 17, Hope's Place Cancer Support Center, Inc., applicant, Archdiocese of Hartford, owner. (Must close by 5/1)

Pauline Sciaretta, co-founder and Ann McGuane, Secretary, spoke to the Commission regarding their application.  Mrs. McGuane read a letter from one of their clients, Shirley Carlson, regarding her care at Hope's Place.

Mrs. Sciaretta explained that Hope's Place is seeking a $150,000 grant to help with renovations of the convent.  They are trying to work in a timely manner to activate the lease, which is necessary to receive the grant, but Planning & Zoning approval is needed for the renovations.  

Mark Duprey, architect, gave some details of the project.  Some of the plan changes in response to Revitalization Committee concerns do not show on the plan he presented.

The building has serious water damage.  If the conversion to Hope's Place is not granted, the building may be razed.

The building has 100' frontage.  The entry way will need to be made wider for ADA accessibility and a handicap ramp.  The Revitalization Committee has requested a straight ramp with a canopy.  Details remain to be worked out.  The ramp materials will be complimentary to the rest of the building, however, cost will be a consideration.

Other renovations will include bathrooms & doors to become ADA compliant, new a/c units, and a possible stair glide as an elevator alternative.

Parking is available across the street.  There is a curb cut close to the church where a patient could unload on site or cross the curb cut.

Hours of operation would be Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to evenings, if programs are scheduled and possibly part of Saturday.  Programs would not be scheduled to conflict with church services.

Members discussed the comments from the Revitalization Committee and asked how clients would enter the building.

Mrs. Sciaretta stated that they would be greeted at their vehicle if necessary and assisted into the building.

Mr. Giner noted that in some circumstances a canopy covered ramp may be required.

Mrs. Sciaretta expressed concern over liability of skateboarders using the ramp and asked if it could be locked when the building is closed.

Members also noted that any signage would be a separate issue.

There was also some discussion regarding a statue that will need to be removed in order to widen the existing sidewalk.  It would be placed elsewhere on the property.

At this time Commissioner Hickey made a motion, seconded by Commissioner Krebs to continue the meeting until midnight.  Vote was 5-0-0.

Chairman Howard opened the hearing for public comment.

Donna Swols of Suffield spoke against the application.  She is a parishoner of St. Adalbert's and is on the St. Adalbert's School Board.  She expressed concern over the budget of Hope's Place and renovation costs, its' affiliation with any hospital or other organization, certification of staff, use & care of consecrated areas, and type of roof & gutters that will be used.  

Chairman Howard stated that Ms. Swol's concerns were not relevant to the issuance of a Special Use Permit.  

In response to another question by Ms. Swols, Mr. Giner answered that the Special Use Permit runs with the building, not the owner or tenant.  Hope's Place Cancer Support Center could not change the use of the building without a new special use permit application.

After further questions by Ms. Swols, the hearing was closed by Chairman Howard.  

After discussion of conditions of approval, a motion was made by Commissioner Duran, seconded by Commissioner Krebs to approve use of the building with the applicable standard conditions.  The applicant will need to return to the Commission after meeting with the Revitalization Committee for approval of signs, materials of ramp and color of canopy.  Vote was 5-0-0.
