Commission offers cautious support for 118‑unit senior housing concept on Meadowbrook Road
Summary
Tuca Properties presented a concept for 118 senior‑housing units (independent/assisted living, memory care and duplexes) on Meadowbrook Road. Commissioners gave cautious support, asked for neighborhood outreach and asked the developer to refine elevations and tree‑preservation plans.
Tuca Properties presented a concept plan for a senior‑living development on Meadowbrook Road that would include a four‑story building with 64 independent/assisted living units, wings for assisted care and memory care (54 units combined) and a ring of duplexes for independent living — a total of 118 units.
Staff described site constraints, topography and a need to extend public streets and stormwater infrastructure; commissioners were generally supportive but emphasized thorough neighborhood outreach, careful elevation studies given the site's rising grade and clear preservation or removal plans for tree lines. Tom Piantka, the developer, said the team has performed soil borings and does not expect bedrock or blasting, and noted the project may be built in phases. Several commissioners said the duplexes provide a good transition to adjacent neighborhoods but sought more specific grading and elevation materials before formal applications.
The commission provided feedback and encouragement but did not act on approvals; staff will expect a future formal submittal including more detailed elevations, landscaping plans and neighborhood engagement.
