Re: Southwest Village tad Addition - Preliminary and Final Plat Application
Dear Ms. Al -Jaff:
Ryland Homes is pleased to submit to the City of Chanhassen a subdivision application for the
preliminary and final plat of Southwest Village 2nd Addition. This application will complete the
residential portion of Southwest Village PUD by adding thirty-eight (38) townhomes to the
property.
The proposed site plan is consistent with the PUD's original plans. Pergolas and benches have
been added to the mail box areas to create smaller gathering spaces. Pillars with fencing and
additional landscaping beds are also included to complement existing landscapes or planned
landscape improvements located on neighboring properties. Additional street lights within the
property are planned to be consistent with the current street lights.
Ryland's proposed townhomes are a 2 -1/2 story row style townhome with 2 -car garages in the
rear. Three floor plans are planned to be sold, each with three to four different front elevations.
This variety of elevations will allow Ryland to build the six townhome buildings each with its
own unique combination of elevations. The siding, trim and stone colors were selected to
compliment the current SW Transit Station building. A variety of accent colored shakes, front
doors and shutters are planned, giving each building a distinctive appearance.
With the needed approvals, Ryland anticipates completing the majoring of the development work
this year and opening a model home in January of 2014 to start sales.
Ryland Homes appreciates City Staff's assistance with this application. If you have any
questions or need any additional information please call Ryan Bluhm with Westwood P. S. at
(952) 906 -7432 or myself at (952) 229 -6007.
Sincerely,
Mark Sonstegard
