Zoning Board of Appeals 06/09/2026

The Milford Zoning Board of Appeals held a meeting on June 9, 2026, primarily focused on zoning variance requests and appeals related to property development and compliance. Key procurement-related discussions included multiple variance applications for residential properties involving setbacks, building coverage, and structural modifications. Notably, the board approved a settlement authorization related to a zoning appeal case (World Beach Association vs. Zoning Board). Several variance requests were discussed in detail, including a proposal to rebuild a residence at 39 Westland Avenue with multiple setback and coverage variances, which was held over for further review. Another variance for a porch extension at 32 Burwell Avenue was approved with conditions to remove existing stairs. A variance to allow a small attached garage at 993 East Broadway was also approved to improve parking and safety. The board emphasized compliance with city engineering and zoning regulations, and some applications were deferred for additional information and review. Motions to approve or hold over applications were passed unanimously, reflecting the board's procedural adherence and consideration of neighborhood impact and safety concerns.
