The Milford City Planning & Zoning Commission approved a special permit with Coastal Area Site Plan Review for a new single‑family dwelling at 16 Caroline Street. Applicant Maurice Reggero ("Sonny Regeri") told commissioners the new house will be supported on piles with an elevation of about 11 feet and that DEEP has issued a license to conduct work in the state's jurisdiction. He said the design includes piping and a dry well for drainage.

Staff summarized that the dwelling will be approximately 35 feet in height, replacing a previously demolished structure, and that the plans had been reviewed by the city engineer and DEEP. Commissioner questions focused on wetlands proximity, foundation piles (helical piles), garage size and flood‑proofing measures; Reggero confirmed 2‑car garage and drainage details.

Commissioner Mortimer moved to approve the special permit and accepted an amendment from another member requiring the applicant to adhere to the city engineer's recommendations in a May 15, 2025 city‑engineer letter. The roll‑call vote was unanimous.

Next steps: applicant to meet the city engineer’s conditions and proceed to any required permitting and building‑permit reviews.
