Planning board conditionally approves Emerson Road condo conversion; final condo documents required
Summary
Members conditionally approved a condominium conversion for six units at 21 Emerson Road (previously Squirrel Hill), requiring submission of finalized condominium documents before recording and noting that prior site-plan approvals (snow, dumpsters, parking) remain in effect.
The Milford Planning Board voted Feb. 18 to grant conditional approval for a condominium conversion of the Squirrel Hill project at 21 Emerson Road, subject to submission of finalized condominium documents.
Dan Borowski of Fieldstone Land Consultants, representing the applicant (now 21 Emerson Road LLC), described the conversion of an approved multi-family site-plan (three buildings, six condominium units) into individual condominium ownership. Borowski said the only changes from the previously approved site plan were delineation of "limited common areas" for each unit (small yard areas) and that the site plan conditions adopted with the August 2024 approval — including snow-storage, dumpster enclosures and parking layouts — remain in effect and must be referenced in the condominium package.
Board members accepted the application and then moved to a conditional approval: the board’s motion approves the condominium conversion contingent on the completion and submittal of condominium documents for recordation. The board’s action does not undo or replace the recorded site plan; rather it ties the condominium conversion to the previously approved site-plan conditions.
Board members asked the applicant to provide finalized condo documents for town review prior to recording so staff and, if necessary, the town attorney, can confirm references to the approved site plan that address snow removal, trash enclosures and assigned parking. The board confirmed that the site’s previously approved infrastructure and design items (including snow storage areas and dumpster locations) remain applicable to the condominium regime and must be documented in the condo declarations.
The motion for conditional approval carried unanimously. The acceptance and conditional approval were presented as consistent with the town’s process for converting an approved multi-family project into separately owned condominium units while preserving all prior site-plan conditions.
The planning board’s action places a clear condition: allow the conversion to proceed once condominium documents have been completed and submitted to staff for review; staff indicated they expect the condo documents to be provided before the project returns for any final signature or recording steps.
