Mr. Sugar introduced this residential development for adults with special needs and noted the
application went before Planning Commission on September 12, 2022.
Mr. Chris Gurerri, Mr. George Roth and Mr. Joe Matava, introduced the application by
describing the need for this development in Hudson. This plan is designed as a pocket
neighborhood with a campus setting. Mr. Gurerri described the function of the various
components as well as items designed to meet ADA requirements. The staffing, maintenance
free design of the rentals, financing, charitable foundation for resident financial assistance and
intake process were discussed while noting there are already more interested parties than
room in the proposed development.
Mr. Matava described how the elements and flow of the development influence the
programming for residents including the buffering and front facing garages which are needed
to allow the density required to meet the needs of the community and maintain financial
stability. The Board and applicant discussed modifications to the site plan subsequent to the
September Planning Commission meeting.
The applicants described the layout of a typical apartment which in some cases will have room
for a college interns or caregiver while noting Hudson Community Living is prohibited from
hiring caregivers, which will be secured by individual families as needed. Mr. Matava then
displayed and explained the renderings of the proposed structures and open spaces.
The Board, staff and applicant discussed the effect of a private drive which is regulated under
both zoning and architectural standards. Mr. Sugar noted staff feels the intended use of this
development should be considered when the front facing garages are reviewed. The Board
stated decisions made concerning this special needs development would not be seen as a
precedent for others desiring a front facing garage. Visitor parking was discussed using the
map to show parking locations while noting not every unit has a garage. Mr. Gurerri described
the buffer area and the fencing while the Board voiced appreciation for the variety of
structures and placement of the units so there are not rows of garage doors. The HVAC units,
trash arrangements, pervious surface path materials and fencing around the ponds were also
discussed.
The Board noted this is not a typical residential development, this is for a community of adults
with special needs the Board desires to generally support this conceptual presentation.
Overall the Board felt the development is on the right track.

Addition (Front Porch)
Alterations (Siding, Roofing, Shutters)
Submitted by Michael Megyesi, Pally Roofing
a) Staff notes project was presented at the August 24, 2022, meeting. The
following items were approved: the main pitched portion of the roof to
use shingles to match the existing roof, the metal shed detail be reduced
to only over the center columns and the return on the left side of the main
pitch match the returns of the rest of the building pitches.
b) Staff notes the applicant has requested a standing seam metal porch roof.
Architectural Design Standards state roofs on projections should match
the roof material of the building, and to the extent possible, shall be same
kind of roof. Natural finish metals such as copper, terne coated steel, or
lead may be substituted for any roofing material. Staff has reviewed this
further, and this design standard seems to be more intended for bay
windows, dormers and small bump-outs; however, it does not give clear
direction on how to treat large, open porches.

Submitted by Matthew Powers, Powers Construction

projection.
b) Architectural Design Standards state all roofs in all the wings must be of
the same shape as the main body, but they may have a different pitch or
