Milltown Planning Board Meeting - 7/8/2026

The Milltown Planning Board held a public hearing on July 8, 2026, for application PB26-04, a proposed three-story mixed-use development at 43 South Main Street with eight residential units, ground-floor office and retail space, and 20 parking spaces. The applicant sought final site plan approval and relief for a two-space parking shortfall: the board’s professionals calculated 22 spaces were required, while the applicant’s traffic consultant said shared-parking demand would peak at 16–19 spaces. The proposal also includes new sidewalks and curbing, utility work, landscaping, EV charging, and stormwater controls. Board members and residents raised questions about parking, traffic and pedestrian safety, flooding, construction dust, and the proposed access and circulation. No project cost, procurement, contract award, or recorded board vote appears in the transcript.

The board discussed potential approval conditions, including confirmation of stormwater compliance subject to the board engineer’s review, individual smart meters for each unit, recording an operations and maintenance manual, assigning one parking space per residential unit, and a developer agreement with the municipality. The applicant accepted the conditions as stated. The discussion also addressed compliance with affordable-housing requirements and coordination with the county on roadway and sidewalk details. The transcript ends without recording a motion or final decision.
