The Milford City Planning & Zoning Commission approved a revised special permit and site‑plan review for 852 Boston Post Road, a reconfigured two‑story building with a first‑floor salon and a two‑bedroom apartment above. Attorney Thomas Lynch, representing owner/manager Sanjeet Patel (852 Post Road LLC), said the revised plan relies on a 12‑foot easement on the adjacent 71 Orange Avenue to provide about eight parking spaces; the site plan was amended to include a handicap parking space.

Lynch said departments including police, fire and sewer reviewed the revised plans and the city engineer provided comments emphasizing sidewalks and curbing. The commission approved the petition with three conditions: (1) sidewalk across the full frontage; (2) concrete curbing; (3) provide an accessible parking space. Commissioner Mortimer moved to approve with those conditions; Commissioner Allen seconded and the roll call was unanimous.

Next steps: applicant to satisfy the city engineer’s requirements (including sidewalk and curbing) prior to any final sign‑offs or building permits.
