Thomas Lynch, attorney for the applicant 8 43 North LLC, said the proposal would construct 44 two‑bedroom units in 17 buildings on a roughly two‑acre parcel in the city’s North End. “Under the terms of section 8 30 g of our statutes, 30% of the units or 14 units will be set aside for rent to individuals who either meet 60% of the state median income or 80% of the state median income,” Lynch said. He also said an affordability plan describing marketing and rent calculations was included in the application materials.

Ronald Wismer, the project engineer, described site layout, utilities and stormwater design. He said the storm drainage system is designed for a 100‑year storm (8.4 inches of rainfall) at the city engineer’s request; typical Milford requirements use a 25‑year standard (about 6.5 inches). Wismer said the development provides two parking spaces per unit (one in a garage and one in front of each unit) and 12 electric vehicle charging stations located in guest parking areas.

Kermit Hua, the traffic engineer, summarized new traffic counts collected in January 2025 and explained seasonal adjustments and a growth factor the team used for a 2028 background condition. Hua reported the proposed 44 units would generate about 21 weekday morning peak‑hour trips and about 25 trips during midday and afternoon peak hours; his analysis and a third‑party review by John P. Thompson, PE, found the adjacent intersections and the proposed driveways would operate at acceptable levels of service (A or B) with no predicted safety hazards.

The project was modified during prior inland wetlands review: a proposed clubhouse was removed, the number of access drives was reduced to two (one to North Street and one to Kozlowski Drive) and a building in the northeast corner was eliminated to preserve trees closest to off‑site wetlands. The plans include passive open space; no dedicated on‑site playground area is shown, and staff noted nearby Eisenhower Park across North Street serves recreational needs.

Public commenters spoke in favor of the project’s affordable housing component and access to Eisenhower Park. Jesse Williams, a local resident, said the town should share the park amenity with more families; Therese Eek described the project as a step toward preserving housing options for residents on limited incomes.

At the close of the public hearing, Commissioner Mortimer moved to approve the application with the city engineer’s conditions (items a–f, City Engineering Review, April 11, 2025) and to require relocation of a fire hydrant from a snow‑storage area; Commissioner Collegian seconded the motion. A roll call recorded votes against by Commissioners Agnes, Anderson and Zahardis; Commissioners Hirsch, Collegian, Macchio, Mortimer and Satti voted in favor. The motion passed.

Discussion vs. decision: the record shows extensive technical review (inland wetlands permit, third‑party traffic review, fire marshal and sewer commission signoffs) and the imposition of engineering and recordation conditions as part of the approval. The commission’s action authorizes site plan approval subject to those conditions; the developer must still obtain building permits and satisfy recording/operation and maintenance obligations for the stormwater system.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning and Zoning 06/17/25","oneSentenceSummary","After presentations, staff reviews and public comment, the Milford Planning and Zoning Commission approved a 44‑unit residential development at 843 North Street under Connecticut General Statutes 8‑30g, with conditions from the city engineer and a requirement to relocate a fire hydrant from a proposed snow‑storage area.","taxTitle","Milford City, New Haven County, Connecticut","taxId",9787,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6182811,"Planning commission approves special permit for single‑family home at 67 James Street",320,0,320000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5103033-7b28dd32580f980044f37e73b793117f&start=0&end=320","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5103033-7b28dd32580f980044f37e73b793117f/thumbnail_0.jpg","/articles/6182811/Milford-City/New-Haven-County/Connecticut/Planning-commission-approves-special-permit-for-singlefamily-home-at-67-James-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6182811-8ebf2e5a39fdc493160ba1320cfd24bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443103&Signature=XLmSgIRqJ0LOa4Eg~SZuJtzNKR6WUyi1pN~UcJ0VaEJt6afwd5SbK8I02gCosw7nMcHYfDbl30az2kdLHouZxna-yB1ieqxzoRGXsj~UhdpeQYZYgId5ygi7CebnfZaUL7A-sUTYYHPJhhSuNcQcJhHZO-K7Ccsvbai72ZXQB74Xdb6HDzlyCOZ9RPi-RihFRpodVkmzn6hB2OnKqjBTzpl-fa4odTa0fFx9lghf9rXgTdtK888mKzKn-Ljb-hubbtUW7x4hY0qI-lnRhniysNIrdp-OYw4ZWZjYocQxpAO0W4fR1gdsjDfsjg2SmfQ0CX-2Mt3irykWDrbkXMrWKA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Milford Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Coastal Area Management special permit for a new single‑family house at 67 James Street owned by Justin King.

Justin King, the applicant, told the commission the proposed home would be about 2,000 square feet with a ground‑level garage and two floors of living space above. “I appreciate the opportunity to speak with you all tonight. I'm here with my wife Cindy and our son Eli, and we're seeking your approval including Coastal Area Management special permit approval for the construction of a single family home,” King said.

The commission's administrative summary said the proposed dwelling will be 34 feet 10 inches in height and located within 25 feet of an adjacent wetland. The transcript records that the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection reviewed and approved breakaway walls and flood vents for the design; the applicant also stated he met with zoning enforcement officer Harris, city planner Sulcus, city engineer Pedluski and inland wetlands compliance officer Colombo and addressed their recommendations. King said soil testing for the building had been completed and that Nafis and Young conducted that testing.

After the public hearing drew no speakers from the audience, Commissioner Mortimer moved to approve the special permit and Commissioner John Agnes seconded. A roll call recorded the following votes in support: John Agnes (yes), Anderson (yes), Hersh (yes), Collegian (yes), Bacchino (yes), Mordoroff (yes), Satti (yes) and Zajeredis (yes). The motion passed.

Discussion vs. decision: the record shows the commission closed the public hearing, heard administrative findings that DEP and the Inland Wetlands Agency had reviewed the project, and then voted to approve the special permit; no further study or referral was recorded. The commission did not attach additional conditions on the record beyond the plan compliance noted in the administrative summary.

The approved permit allows King to proceed toward required permits and building‑permit submittals consistent with the approved Coastal Area Management review and the zoning setbacks and 35‑foot maximum height limit noted in the record.","The Milford Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a Coastal Area Management special permit for a new, two‑story single‑family home at 67 James Street owned by Justin King after hearing that the design meets setback, height and DEP flood‑resilience requirements.","actionData","errors"]
