Milford Planning and Zoning Board approves special permit for single-family house at 42 Melba Street
Summary
The Milford Planning and Zoning Board voted unanimously May 20 to approve a special permit with CAM for a single-family home at Map 29, Block 558, Parcel 18 (42 Melba Street); applicant said wetlands permits and engineering and planning sign-offs are in place.
The Milford Planning and Zoning Board on May 20 unanimously approved a special permit with CAM to allow construction of a single-family dwelling at 42 Melba Street (Map 29, Block 558, Parcel 18).
The applicant told the board the lot is currently vacant and the proposed house would be approximately 24 by 40 feet. The applicant said the project has obtained a wet inland wetlands permit and has sign-offs from engineering and from planning and zoning staff.
Board member Jim Reques moved to approve the petition; a second was made and the motion passed with all voting members present voting in favor. Chairman Quish closed the matter by wishing the applicant “good luck with your project.”
At the meeting the board opened the public hearing for the petition and, with no members of the public speaking, closed the hearing the same evening before taking the vote. The applicant described efforts to work with the inland wetlands office to address on-site wetlands and said the design was adapted to be suitable for the property.
The board’s discussion in the meeting was brief and procedural; members asked no substantive follow-up questions on the record. Staff sign-offs and the inland wetlands permit were cited as the principal conditions addressed before approval.
The file for the petition lists the property owner as Michael Hendrick (name transcribed later in the record as “Michael Henrich”); the transcript also records inconsistent renderings of the applicant’s name (transcribed as both “Joseph Codis Bodie” and later as “Joseph Cutaspati”). The board’s action as recorded at the meeting was approval of the special permit as moved by Jim Reques and seconded by an unnamed board member.
No dates for permit issuance or construction timelines were provided at the meeting. The board noted a scheduled subcommittee meeting later in the month to review zoning district CDD-3 at a high level, but no additional actions tied to this petition were stated at the May 20 meeting.
