Site Plan Review for a proposed mixed use building with consisting of seventeen (17) apartments and 1,949 square feet of ground-floor commercial tenant space. Application of David McCarthy. Property of Heritage Reid Hughes LLC. Assessor’s Map 102, Block 6, Lot 25, Zone CC, CAM Overlay District. Deanna Rhodes stated that Dan Daniska did the review for this project, but wanted to mention that if the Commission decides to approve the plan as presented, staff would ask that the Commission expire the previous approval as documents were never filed on the land records and would be rendered moot by this potential approval. David McCarthy, President of Heritage Housing Inc, the managing member of Heritage Reid Hughes LLC, which owns the property. The group was brought into the redevelopment when they purchased the Wauregan Hotel across the street from Bruce Becker. Mr. McCarthy provided an overview of updated redevelopment plans, highlighting the removal of residential activities in the basement, expansion of the commercial space on the first floor, and reconfiguration of the proposed apartments to provide more marketable space. He noted that the building is the entire site, there is no property that is located outside of the building envelope. Space was removed from the basement as it was located in a flood zone and deemed not economically viable by the development group. The existing variance that allowed for three apartments on the first floor has been carried forward to this plan, they are maintained in place. There are two potential commercial spaces depending on tenant fit out and lease requirements. The elevator has been removed as it was taking up a good deal of space and added to the cost of redevelopment. The development team is proposing to allow residents of the building to access recreational amenities at the Wauregan in lieu of adding space to the Reid and Hughes building. The remainder of the proposal reflects what was approved in 2019. Mr. McCarthy then asked the Commission if there were any questions regarding the application. James Quarto asked a question regarding the area of the building in the rear in relation to ownership and the adjacent parking area. Mr. McCarthy clarified that legal agreements have been in place since before his group took ownership of the property regarding the area to the rear of the building. Kathy Warzecha asked a question regarding storage for the apartment units being located in the basement, especially for bikes or things like that. Dan Daniska responded that bike storage was part of the original approval, and is required by Zoning Regulations. Discussion ensued regarding location of bicycle storage within the property. Mr. McCarthy agreed to work with Dan Daniska in finding a suitable location for bicycle storage on the first floor of the development. Dan Daniska reviewed his memo and asked that if someone made a motion to approve the project, the reading of conditions be waived, as they would be included in the minutes. Kathy Warzecha made a motion to approve SDP#1052: 201 Main Street Site Plan with the following conditions:  That final revised plans be submitted and reviewed by City Staff.  That this approval will expire on 01/23/2029 unless an extension has been granted by the Commission.  That the Fire Marshall comments be incorporated into the final revised plan set. • That the applicant work with Planning Department Staff to locate bicycle storage on the first floor of the building. • That the applicant work with Planning Department Staff to locate Landscaping Planters along the sidewalk without obstructing pedestrian traffic.  That all comments from various departments be addressed in the final plan set to be reviewed by staff.  That documentation regarding Reid & Hughes tenant access to recreational amenities at the Wauregan Hotel be provided with the final plan set.  That the City’s required signature block and letter of approval be placed on the final revised plan set, and that all plan sheets include the stamped seal and signature of the licensed professional.  That 6 signed and embossed sealed paper copies and 2 mylars of the final revised set of plans be submitted to the Planning Department for endorsement by an officer of the Commission. The mylars must include the red indelible ink certification which includes the name of producer and process used.  That the endorsed mylar set shall be filed on the Land Records by the applicant.  That after the filing of the mylars, a zoning permit shall be issued prior to any land disturbance activities commencing in the site.  That any modifications to the approved proposal shall be reviewed by the Zoning Enforcement Officer prior to occurring and may require additional review and approval by the Commission. This includes changes to number of units or size of units.  That a pre-construction meeting be held with the Planning, Public Works Departments and NPU prior to the start of the project.   That all proposed improvements associated with this application are to be completed according to the approved plan prior to the issuance of the required Certificate of Zoning Compliance or a performance bond will be required in accordance with Sections 7.5.7.3 and 8.9 of the Zoning Regulations.  That the Commission may require an as-built or certification by a licensed engineer or land surveyor should it be deemed necessary by the City to determine compliance with the approval granted.  That the discharge of stormwater and dewatering of any wastewater from construction activities is less than 5 acres and falls under the CT DEEP general permit. Reason for Approval: The proposal conforms to Section 2.6, Chapter 5, Section 6.5 and Section 7.5 the Zoning Regulations. Ella Myles seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. James Quarto made a motion to expire SP #1902 201 Main Street as the approval is now moot due to the fact that the Special Permit and Mylars were never filed on the land records. Ella Myles seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. OLD BUSINESS: Deliberation & Potential Decision on the Following Application and Associated Waiver Requests: SUB #437: 145 Taftville-Occum Road, 432 Canterbury Turnpike & 180 Lawler Lane. Request for a proposed twelve-lot subdivision with associated new road and dedicated open space. Property and application of Norwich Community Development Corporation. Assessor’s Map 25 Block 1, Lot 1; Map 24 Block 1 Lot 1; and Map 23, Block 1, Lot 7. Zone: General Commercial District (GC) & Planned Development Design District (PDD). (Received 10/17/2023). Chairman Manfredi recused himself from this matter and turned the meeting over to Kathy Warzecha as Acting Chairperson. Jason Courter was seated at the meeting. Chairman Manfredi departed the meeting at 8:47 PM. Attorney Roberts provided guidance to the Commission for deliberation. He confirmed that all of the intervener documents that were submitted at the public hearing were determined to be invalid. Another intervener document was submitted following the close of the public hearing, which has also been determined to not be effective. Atty. Roberts advised staff to look at the contents of the petition and at the contents of the memo from the engineer that was presented as part of the public comment at the hearing, and determine if there was anything in there that was problematic. There are response memos from the Director of Planning and Neighborhood Services, and a lengthy response from the City Engineer. Atty. Roberts stated that it makes sense to address the requested waivers prior to making a decision on the subdivision application, as the result of the waivers votes may necessitate change to the plan set. The Commission may not even want go beyond the waivers at this time if that is the case, as revisions will need to be made. Deanna Rhodes noted that if the waivers were not granted, staff had determined that the items for which the waivers were requested, would then be added back into the plan set, so the Commission could be able to make a decision this evening. Brief discussion ensued regarding the road width request in Waiver #1 with clarification provided by Dan Daniska verbally and on the video recording. Jason Courter motioned to approve the Waiver #1 - Roadway width reduction from 36’ to 30’ consisting of two 11’ lanes and two 4’ paved shoulders as shown in the plan set. Reason: The roadway design is in keeping with current Low Impact Development Design standards that are intended to reduce impervious surfaces wherever possible while maintaining functionality of the roadway. James Quarto seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. Jason Courter motioned to approve Waiver #2 - Elimination of Curbs and Gutters. Reason: The roadway design without curbs and gutters is in keeping with current Low Impact Development Design standards that are intended to reduce impervious surfaces wherever possible while maintaining functionality of the roadway. James Quarto seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. James Quarto motioned to approve Waiver #3 - Elimination of sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. Reason: The proposed multi-use trail is an acceptable alternative to the required sidewalks on both sides of the roadway. Ella Myles seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. Deanna Rhodes stated that she provided a summary of all information from the previous meetings and provided a consolidated memo of information. Ms. Rhodes stated that she would defer to Atty. Roberts to provide the Commission with further guidance if deemed necessary. Deane Nason noted that a lot of the issues raised in the memo presented at the public hearing would be addressed at the site plan review stage in the future, when actual uses would be determined and reviewed. Mr. Nason stated that he had no outstanding issues, they had all been addressed. Kathy Warzecha stated that she felt there were things missing from the plan that was brought up from the memo presented at the public hearing, but she did understand that it would be addressed at the site plan review stage, but some of it could have been included on the subdivision plans. Ms. Warzecha stated that it was her personal opinion, but she does not have a problem with it. Atty. Roberts commented that had the public hearing been continued, it could have been addressed, but the independent review by the City Engineer has achieved the same result. Ms. Warzecha agreed, stating that if the extension was granted, it could have been addressed on the plans and that was disappointing. Jason Courter commented that the applicant had addressed all that was required and exceeded it in some areas. Kathy Warzecha noted again that she was disappointed, discussion ensued regarding open space and requiring more than what the subdivision regulations call for. Atty. Roberts responded that you would need to demonstrate a need for additional open space, which may be possible in a residential subdivision, but an industrial subdivision is not a residential subdivision. Discussion ensued regarding if residential uses would be allowed in the Industrial Center. Staff clarified that only mixed use buildings could be allowing in the General Commercial Zone, and the Planned Development Design District Zone did not allow for any residential use at all. Discussion ensued regarding open space and the site development plan review stage. Jason Courter made a motion to approve SUB #437: 145 Taftville-Occum Road, 432 Canterbury Turnpike and 180 Lawler Lane with conditions #6 of the Planner’s memo and the 11 points in the City Engineer’s memo as follows: • That final revised plans be submitted that address all items noted in the Planning Dept. memo dated 12/13/2023; the email to Jeff Bord from Deanna Rhodes about parking encroachment into buffer dated 12/15/2023; City Engineer's email dated 12/15/2023, and the City Engineer's memorandum dated 1/22/2024 referenced in Item #1 of the Planning Dept. memo dated 01/19/24; for review and approval by City Staff; • That the City's letter of Approval and IWWCC Permit Letter are placed on the cover Sheet of the final revised plan set and mylars; • That an erosion and sediment control bond be posted prior to any land disturbance activity associated with the roadway construction should it be deemed necessary by the Director of Public Works.
