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, 1956.
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 speci- fications. Among these sub-divisions were the Cappalucci Development on East Main St., the Iadarola Developments on upper West Street, the DeLuca Brothers Development on Route 140, and numerous other developments.
Complaints regarding zoning law violations were re- ceived and investigated and in several cases hearings were conducted. Public hearings were held on several proposed changes of the existing Zoning Laws, and appeals from the Zoning Board of Appeals were heard and decided.
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 interested in considering same. Rules and Regulations of the Town of Milford and forms for submitting sub-divi- sions plans are available at the Town Clerk's office, As- sessor's office or the Planning Board office.
We wish to thank our Town Clerk Catherine L. Coyne for her help and cooperation throughout the year and we
[139]
also wish to thank the other officials and department heads who aided the Board during the previous year.
Respectfully submitted,
VINCENT W. MANCINI, Chairman ARTHUR E. LEBLANC, Secretary NORMAND T. THERIAULT LAWRENCE A. CICCARELLI FREDERICK T. CAHILL
Report of the Milford Town Library
To the Honorable Board of Selectmen:
The Trustees of the Milford Town Library submit the following report for 1956.
A continuing increase in total circulation and in at- tendance highlighted the past year. This increase in serv- ice to the public is due mainly to the availability of more and better reading materials for all ages.
A small increase in our general fund last year made this improvement in service possible. The trustees and Librarian Henry J. Pyne will make every effort to sustain such improvement for the benefit of the reading public.
The library staff is to be commended for their fine effort during 1956.
