Commission approves developer agreement for Meadowbrook senior living; utility financial exposure none
Summary
The commission approved a developer agreement for the Meadowbrook Senior Living development, describing a 119‑unit residential care building and roughly 2,100 ft of 12‑inch water main; staff said the DNR approved the design and the agreement imposes a 30‑foot water‑main easement and includes no exceptions for the utility.
The City of Waukesha Water Utility Commission voted Feb. 19 to approve a developer agreement for Meadowbrook Senior Living, a phased development north of Coldwater Creek associated with the Smart Family Trust.
Staff described the proposal as the first phase in a multi‑phase project that includes a 119‑unit residential care/apartment complex, about 2,100 feet of 12‑inch PVC water main, five fire hydrants, eight residential stubs for future lots and one 8‑inch commercial service to the facility. Staff also said the Department of Natural Resources completed and approved the design review on Jan. 15.
"Tom Pankka of Tuca Properties reached out in October to ask for the water main extension," Matt told commissioners while walking through the layout and phasing. Staff said the developer agreement is the utility’s standard 24‑section agreement with no exceptions and that a 30‑foot water‑main utility easement will be recorded around the property because the internal roads are planned as private.
Commissioners asked whether the routing will provide a looped main and how the stubs will be handled for later development; staff said the current phase will create a loop and stub out the future connection points, and the full loop will depend on the developer’s phasing decisions for adjacent parcels.
The commission approved the developer agreement by voice vote. Staff noted the agreement is structured so the utility bears no project cost and that maintenance and easement conditions are standard for developer extensions.
Next steps include recording the easement and reviewing construction sequencing with public works and the developer prior to plan approval and permitting.
