The Milford City Planning & Zoning Commission approved a petition from Ronald and Felicia Schmidt to adjust a lot line and relocate a zone boundary so that 5 Dixon Street would be entirely in the R‑5 zone. The applicants told the commission they plan to purchase about 260 square feet from a neighbor at 9 Dixon Street and have a verbal purchase agreement and a letter of support from the adjoining owner.

Staff summarized that the existing lot line is also the zone line separating R‑5 and R‑7.5 and that the proposed change would make 5 Dixon conforming for parcel size while leaving 9 Dixon conforming in R‑7.5. Commissioners noted they had received letters from the borough of Woodmont stating no issues with the application.

A motion to approve the petition as presented (effective date 2025‑12‑26) was made, seconded and approved by roll call. No members of the public objected at the hearing; staff recorded neighborhood support and no outstanding technical objections from city departments in the hearing record.

Next steps: the approval becomes effective per the motion; any required recording or administrative follow‑up will be handled by applicants and planning staff.
