Planning commission approves special permit for single‑family home at 67 James Street
Summary
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.
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.
