Multi-building industrial complex eyed in South Windsor

A Vernon land surveyor is looking to construct 13 small-business rental units across three new industrial buildings in South Windsor.
 
David A. Simler, of Messier Survey LLC, filed an application with the town last month seeking to build a 13,400-square-foot industrial complex at 360 Burnham St. The area near the East Hartford town line is mostly developed with a mix of commercial, industrial and residential use, according to documents accompanying the application.
 
The proposal was discussed by the town’s Inlands Wetlands Commission Wednesday night, but has not yet received any approvals from local agencies, town planning officials told HBJ. Simler will need to obtain certain approvals from the inlands and planning and zoning commissions, among other town boards, before he breaks ground on the development.
 
Simler could not be reached for comment on how much the development would cost, or when construction could begin on-site.
 
Land records show Simler, operating as 360 Burnham LLC, acquired the 6.3-acre property for $15,000 through a foreclosure sale in Dec. 2009.

 
According to plans, a new entrance/exit would be constructed on Burnham Street to accommodate the development that will be likely geared toward the small business building and maintenance trades and skilled craftsman. That includes electricians, plumbers, roofers, painters, woodworkers, carpenters, home improvement contractors, graphic artists and event stagers, among other prospective tenants.
 
It is anticipated that tenants would use the rental units for storage of materials and supplies, assembly and fabrication of parts, and parking of motor vehicles and utility trailers.
 
Eleven of the 13 units would be located within one building and will each have a gross floor area of 1,000 square feet with an individual door, an overhead door and two external and one internal parking spaces.
