MILFORD - It was a split decision, but the Planning and Zoning Board approved a mixed-use commercial building at 67 Prospect St.
The board approved a plan that calls for a three-story, 36-unit building to be built behind the historic David Baldwin House. The house will have its exterior restored and its interior renovated to house office space and a fitness center for renters.
With public comment having been closed at the board’s March meeting, discussion was limited at the April 6 meeting to board members.

MILFORD All 12 residents who spoke at the recent Planning and Zoning Board meeting expressed opposition to a plan to renovate the historic Baldwin House and construct a 36-unit apartment building at the rear of the Prospect Street site.
The board continued the public hearing to its March 2 meeting to give it time get a second review of the drainage plan and also to request a legal opinion regarding its powers.
About 30 residents attended the public hearing. The dozen that spoke expressed concerns about the project’s density in a historic area, the effect of additional traffic, and the impact storm water runoff would make on neighboring properties, particularly the Milford Cemetery. The 1-acre property is at 67 Prospect St.
