Milford board denies strip club proposal

By Anna Fiorentino, Globe Correspondent

The Milford Zoning Board of Appeals tonight denied a controversial application for an exotic dance club on East Main Street.

The board said the request for a special permit to establish the club inside an existing sports bar violated the town's bylaws. The bylaws bar adult entertainment businesses from being on the same block or within 400 feet of a residential zone.

An attorney representing Kevin T. Coady Sr., the applicant, said during the hearing that he planned to appeal the decision, if the permit was denied.

In the days before the meeting, more than 1,300 residents signed a peitition and 1,000 appeared at a demonstration, opposing the proposal.
