MEMORANDUM
TO:
Todd Gerhardt, City Manager
FROM:
Bob Generous, Senior Planner

SUBJ:
Liberty at Creekside
Planning Case #05-24
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The developer, NDI Minnesota, LLC, is requesting a one-year extension of the
preliminary plat for Liberty at Creekside to May 22, 2008. While this project was
taken through the development review process by Town & Country Homes, NDI
Minnesota, LLC, has been the underlying property owner. NDI Minnesota, LLC,
wishes to preserve the development approvals on the site. The extension is
necessary due to the current depressed market conditions on residential development
and construction, the lack of development on adjacent properties and a contractual
dispute between the property owner and Mr. Jeurissen, the former property owner.
Section 18-41 of the Chanhassen City Code requires that the subdivider request final
plat approval within one year of the preliminary plat approval unless a request, in
writing, is submitted to the City requesting for good cause an extension of the
preliminary plat. Staff can attest to the slowdown in the residential housing market.
Additionally, the recording of the final plat for the Pioneer Pass development
immediately west of the site has not been completed, which included the right-of-
way providing access to this property.
There have been no amendments to the City Code that would adversely affect the
conditions of approval for the Liberty at Creekside development. All fees were
specified as those in effect at the time of final plat approval. Staff is recommending
approval of the applicant's request for a one-year extension to May 22,2008.
BACKGROUND
On May 22, 2006, the Chanhassen City Council approved the following:
A. Rezoning of the property located within the Liberty at Creekside development
with the exception of Outlot A and the Bluff Creek Overlay District Primary
Zone (Outlot D), from Agricultural Estate District (A-2) to Planned Unit
Development - Residential (PUD - R) incorporating the development design
standards contained within the staff report.
B. Preliminary Plat for Liberty at Creekside, plans prepared by Westwood
Professional Services, Inc., dated June 17,2005, revised February 3,2006,
revised April 6, 2006, which may also be revised to incorporate lots around
each dwelling unit.
The City of Chanhassen · A growing community with clean lakes, quality schools, a channing downtown, thriving businesses, winding trails, and beautiful parks. A great place to live, work, and play.

Re: Liberty at Creek Side
Chanhassen Planning Case No. 05-24
Request for Extension
Dear Mr. Generous:
On behalf of NDI Minnesota, LLC, I am writing to request a one (1) year extension of the
preliminary plat approval for the Liberty at Creek Side development, which I understand would
extend the current approval to May 22, 2008. This extension is necessary in light of current
depressed market conditions impacting residential development and construction, lack of
development on adjoining and nearby parcels, and a contractual dispute between our client and
Mr. Jeurissen.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information to
support the requested extension.
