The Milford Planning Commission convened on January 20, 2026, at 6:00 PM. The meeting included public comment (no speakers), approval of prior minutes, and a single new business item: the preliminary site plan for the Red Cedar Farms Clubhouse. The commission voted unanimously to approve the plan.
PSP 191-2025, Red Cedar Farms Clubhouse (Preliminary Site Plan)
The applicant (John Folkowski, civil engineer with Becker Morgan Group, representing Shell Brothers) presented a preliminary site plan for a proposed community clubhouse on open space parcel D within the Red Cedar Farms development (zoned R2). The plan includes a 2,500-square-foot clubhouse, a 2,500-square-foot outdoor swimming pool, a tot lot, a combination basketball/pickleball court with sound mitigation (8–12-foot fencing with acoustical fabric, arborvitae trees, and a 4–5-foot landscaped berm), a community garden (64 plots), a community mailbox, and parking meeting code requirements. The amenities will be key-fob-controlled, with access shut off at 7:30 PM. The clubhouse will not have sprinklers (not required by code due to size and lack of cooking facilities). The project is part of a previously approved 199-lot subdivision; no lots or homes have been sold yet, so all amenities will be disclosed to future buyers. Road improvements (right-turn lane and entrance on Bucks Road) are complete, and developer fees have been paid to the Milford Transportation Improvement District. Staff confirmed the plan meets Chapter 230 (zoning) and Chapter 200 (subdivision) requirements.
Commissioner questions addressed the absence of sprinklers, entrance updates, and the procedural path (preliminary site plan approval by commission, then administrative final site plan).
