Planning Board extends site plan deadline for Wheelers Farms Road project

The Milford Planning and Zoning meeting held on March 4, 2025, focused on several key agenda items, including the approval of minutes and a staff report regarding a project extension.

The meeting commenced with a request to display the agenda, followed by the approval of previous meeting minutes. A motion was made and seconded, leading to unanimous approval without objection.

In the chair's report, the importance of planning and zoning was emphasized, highlighting the potential for positive community impact through thoughtful development. The chair expressed gratitude for the efforts of all involved.

The staff report presented a request for an extension of time to submit the final site development plan for a project on Wheelers Farms Road. The project, initially approved in July, is associated with a floating zone at 47488 Ritter Swans Road. The developers indicated they would not meet the original deadline but anticipated readiness by August. The project has seen a shift in leadership, with Continental Development now taking the lead, which may foster synergy with adjacent developments.

The chair confirmed that the extension could be handled administratively, eliminating the need for a formal vote unless objections arose. No objections were noted, indicating general support for the project's redevelopment.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was seconded and approved without objection. Overall, the meeting underscored the collaborative efforts in planning and zoning, with a focus on facilitating community development.
