The Hudson Planning Commission met on Monday, August 24, 2026 at 7:30 PM at Town Hall, with Acting Chair Jessie Obert presiding (absent Sarah Norman and Matt Romano). The meeting included approval of previous meeting minutes, public discussion on the Canterbury Crossing settlement proposal, and two new business items: a conditional use and site plan for a daycare center (PC 2026-916) and a site plan review for an 18-unit townhome development (PC 2026-945). The Commission approved the conditional use for the daycare and continued the site plan review to September 14, 2026; the townhome discussion was also continued to the September meeting due to time constraints.
I recall this meeting to order. This is the industrial design subcommittee. And it is Monday, August 24th, 6 45 p.m. Mr. Sugar, you would you like to do the roll call? Yes, thank you. Mr. Werkley? Miss Marzula? Here. Mr. Renamarato. Here. Okay, then uh Nick, can you present the first applicant? Yes. Uh we have one case tonight for the industrial design subcommittee. Uh it's a proposed daycare, and it would be located at the corner of Westreatsboro Street in Terracks. Uh this was before the planning commission for for concept site plan review um back in March and April. But obviously, first time uh the design was before this uh subcommittee. Um we had issued some a staff memo last week, and uh if you receive that email, the applicant has uh revised the design. Um we'll be happy to turn over the applicant, though I just wanted to note a few of the of the changes relative to the staff comments. Um there is a now a there now is a revised hip roof. Um they removed the stucco uh exterior building materials and it's it's uh gone to predominantly brick and hardy now. The signage has been reduced, though that's a uh that would be a separate application, and um but though it though it is appropriate to review the sign banding on the where it's gonna be located on the uh on the building right now. And the trash enclosures have been revised to brick. And uh I have the updates, and there's a hard copy in front of you. And I I can turn it over to the applicant for um for some background and intro. Do you have about five minutes? Perfect. Um my name is Kim Tatch. I'm with Crosslands Development Companies. We everything agree with everything that Nick said. We did more of a traditional inspired after the staff comments. Multiple gabled roofs, varied roof lines, uh horizontal siding, brick masonry at the base. Uh we did remove the columns that was in the comment, which was uh an important item. Uh and we have the accent awnings, and one of the questions particular to answer on that was the they are not glossy, they're more of a satin finish on the uh orange awings to answer that question. We do understand the importance of this location uh as a gateway to the city and as part of District 6. Uh we're uh continuing efforts to incorporate comments that we receive and look forward to your feedback on our latest drawing. And you're here to answer questions. Thank you. Uh Ms. Marzula, would you like to have any questions? Um I just want to say I I certainly appreciate the dramatic Dramatic renovation, which definitely is more in keeping. I did have a couple of questions with um smaller. I I think that the columns since you changed the columns. Uh is the width of those. What what is the uh what are they wrapped with the entryway columns here? You can see on the south. I see it's probably yeah, not the brick ones in the on the east. Oh uh under the awnings.
