Planning & Zoning Board approves vertical addition at 43 Ridgewood Drive
Summary
The Milford Planning and Zoning Board approved a coastal-area site plan to add a third-floor vertical addition and a conforming rear addition at 43 Ridgewood Drive; staff said the project is outside the FEMA flood zone and poses no anticipated adverse coastal impacts.
The Milford Planning and Zoning Board on May 19 approved a coastal-area site plan review for 43 Ridgewood Drive, allowing a third-floor vertical addition and a rear conforming addition to an existing single-family dwelling.
Christopher Bjorkland, representing Cavalo Professional Services LLC, told the board the proposal stays within the previously approved footprint and does not expand toward the street or toward coastal resources. "The proposed improvements are consistent with the policies and objectives of the Connecticut Coastal Management Act," Bjorkland said.
Staff reported the renovated dwelling will be 26½ feet in height, is located outside the FEMA flood zone and contains no tidal wetlands, coastal bluffs, beaches or other regulated coastal resources. Staff advised that the project is zoning compliant and that the increase in impervious surface is within mandated guidelines.
A motion to approve the site plan was made and seconded; the board voted in favor with all present members supporting the motion. Chairman Quish closed by wishing the applicant luck with the project.
The approval does not include additional conditions beyond standard permits and required erosion-and-sediment controls during construction. The board recorded no public objections during the hearing; no appeals or subsequent filings were discussed at the meeting.
