Report of Planning Board
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen and Citizens of the Town of Milford:
The Planning Board respectfully submits the follow- ing report for the year ending December 31, 1955.
The Board held bi-monthly meetings during the year at the newly acquired Planning Board office, with several special meetings being called, on sub-division projects, and considered numerous matters for the betterment of the Town. It had under consideration and made disposition of several plans for land development and new sub-divi- sions, some of which were approved and others had to be returned to the proposer for further information and specifications.
Complaints regarding zoning law violations were re- ceived and investigated and in several cases hearings were conducted.
A book containing sub-division control rules and reg- ulations for the Town of Milford, was published this year and these books may be obtained at the Town Clerk's of- fice, Assessors' office or Planning Board office. New forms for submitting sub-division plans or plans not under sub- division control law, may be obtained at Planning Board office.
The Planning Board believes that any person having recommendations or suggestions for the betterment and improvement of the Town and its welfare, should either in writing, or personally advise the Board, which will be in- terested in considering same.
We wish to thank our Town Clerk Catherine L. Coyne for her help and cooperation throughout the year and we
[159]
also wish to thank the other officials and department heads who aided the Board in setting up the sub-division control rules and regulations for the Town of Milford.
Respectfully submitted,
