River Site Senior Assisted & Memory Care Facility Proposal Continues

On Tuesday July 23 at Shorewood's Plan Commission meeting, HRA Senior Living presented revised site plans after receiving input from commissioners at their previous meeting.  This is the second of a minimum of three Plan Commission meetings required for zoning petitions for a Planned Development District.  The proposal includes 60 assisted living units and 36 memory care units. 55 parking spaces will be located underground.

Highpoints of discussions surrounded changes to the proposed road located along the top of the bluff, front entry changes , green space and view sheds.  The proposal is still at a site plan stage before design details may be added.  Some comments about future design included grabbing elements from the Oak Leaf Trail bridge to incorporate into the entrance with a porte cochere- a signature element in all HRA facilities.  The next Plan Commission meeting is scheduled Tuesday August 27 when a detailed site plan and landscape plan will be provided.  The Village is in the process of setting up an information page on the website.  Look for it in within the week!

Health Tip

Be a safe swimmer. Water sports and fireworks are two of the biggest pastimes during the summer and these are both linked to numerous deaths and injuries each year. Never swim alone, and make sure that kids' water play is adequately supervised at all times.
