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.

To the editor:
I am strongly opposed to the proposed development at 67 Prospect Street in Milford. This street is part of one of the most historic areas of Milford. This is where the Rev. Peter Prudden, leader of the founding of Milford and first pastor of the First Church, was granted his home lot. It was on Prudden’s property that the first burying ground was established.
