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

SUBJ:
Liberty at Creekside
Planning Case #05-24
PROPOSED MOTION
"The Chanhassen City Council approves a one-year extension until May 22,
2010 for the preliminary plat for Liberty at Creekside, Planning Case #05-24."
City Council approval requires a majority vote of City Council.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The developer, NDI Minnesota, LLC, is requesting another one-year extension of
the preliminary plat for Liberty at Creekside to May 22, 2011. This project was
originally taken through the development review process by Town & Country
Homes. The extension is necessary due to the current depressed market conditions
for residential development and construction and the lack of development on
adjacent properties through which access to this property must be made.
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 for an extension of the
preliminary plat. Staff can attest to the slowdown in the residential housing market.
Additionally, the right-of-way from Bluff Creek Boulevard to the adjacent property
has not been dedicated and 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.
The City and developer worked diligently to create a well-designed project with
diverse housing styles. There have been no amendments to the City Code that
would adversely affect the conditions of approval for the Liberty at Creekside
development. All the conditions of approval shall remain in force for the
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, 2011.

RE: Liberty at Creek Side
Chanhassen Planning Case No. 05-24
Request for Extension
Dear Mr. Generous:
On behalf ofNDI 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, 2011. This extension is necessary in light
of current depressed market condition impacting residential development and
construction and lack of development on adjoining and nearby parcels.
Please let me know if you have any questions or require additional information to
support the requested extension.
Very trulyy9..Ill's,
~~......
