City of Milford

The committee meeting was convened, however, due to the lack of a quorum, no business was conducted and the meeting was formally adjourned and rescheduled.

The Board reviewed a coastal area site plan application for a single-family residence on Milford Point Road, which was approved with conditions from the city engineer. A second major topic involved a proposed amendment to zoning regulations concerning accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in detached garage structures for properties with at least a half-acre lot. This public hearing allowed community members to express support for broader ADU regulations as a form of affordable, multi-generational housing.

The Agency reviewed a proposal for a 76-unit development on Bic Drive, which was continued for further review by the City Engineer and Commissioners. A notice of violation regarding the unauthorized deposition of soil and material on Naugatuck Avenue was addressed; officials confirmed that sedimentation and erosion control measures are being monitored until site stabilization is achieved. The Agency approved a separate application for a parking lot expansion and stormwater drainage system at the same Naugatuck Avenue site, subject to several conditions including bond requirements and ongoing erosion inspections. Additionally, staff provided updates on the implementation of new permitting software, compliance tools, and recent legislative changes concerning riparian areas.

The committee held a building committee meeting to conduct a page turn of project documents for the Milford Boys & Girls Club Tudor Road project. Key discussion topics included project timeline adjustments for inspector and department comments, insurance requirements, and detailed revisions to architectural, structural, civil, and landscaping plans. Specific design decisions were addressed regarding playground layouts, basketball court paving, signage requirements, interior finish schemes, and technical specifications for electrical, plumbing, and technology infrastructure.

The board conducted a site plan review for a building addition at Jonathan Law High School and approved the petition with minor engineering updates as a condition. Additionally, the board reviewed a coastal area site plan for a single-family dwelling on Wall Street and approved it. Finally, the board heard a presentation regarding a proposed zoning regulation amendment to allow accessory dwelling units in detached garages on properties with a minimum of 18,000 square feet; the public hearing for this matter was kept open to allow for readvertising and further public input.
