Milford commission approves easement for EV chargers at 0 River Street
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission voted to allow an easement in favor of Metro TOD LLC for electric-vehicle charging stations on city-owned property at 0 River Street under Connecticut General Statutes section 8-24; MetroStar will pay installation and maintenance and intends to charge users, a city representative said.
The Milford Planning & Zoning Commission voted to permit an easement in favor of Metro TOD LLC to install electric-vehicle charging stations on city-owned property at 0 River Street, acting pursuant to Connecticut General Statutes Section 8-24.
A city representative said MetroStar will cover installation and maintenance costs and intends to charge users. "MetroStar will be paying for the installation, maintenance, and ... it is their intention to charge a fee for the use of those," Miss Kelly told the commission.
The easement had been tabled at the Jan. 7 meeting for lack of a city representative; the applicant was present at Wednesday's meeting. Board members asked whether nearby residents had been notified and whether the chargers would be open to the public and subject to time limits. Miss Kelly said the stations would be open to the public and that usage and time-limit practices typically vary by location; she also said a third-party vendor commonly handles user transactions rather than MetroStar directly.
After brief discussion the commission moved and seconded the 8-24 approval and took a roll-call vote. The motion passed. No specific hours of operation or enforcement mechanisms were provided at the meeting, and a MetroStar representative who was present did not offer additional binding conditions on access or time limits.
The easement grants Metro TOD LLC a use right on Map 54, Block 322, Parcel 4A, which is owned by the city of Milford. The commission recorded no competing formal objections in the public record at the meeting.
The commission moved on after the vote; staff did not provide further detail about the vendor contract, revenue sharing, or enforcement of time limits during this hearing.
