Liberty at Creekside is currently zoned Agricultural and guided for Medium
Density Residential. Town and Country Homes is proposing a PUD/Medium
Density Residential community for Liberty at Creekside. This enables us to be
creative with our site layout and design, and allows for more opportunity for
preservation, community character, and density clustering. The site planning for
Liberty at Creekside has taken into consideration the Bluff Creek Overlay District
boundary lines and buffering requirements, as well as the information deriving
from the AUAR conducted for the 2005 MUSA Expansion Area.
Access is a difficult obstacle in planning this community. We are proposing road
access at the NW corner of the site just south of a slope area. We feel that this is
the least obtrusive option in providing street access to the community from the
major collector road planned for the area. Another difficulty with this site is the
topography. Basement products and creative street layouts help us to work with
the steep slopes. We have gone through a number of various concepts for this
site and are confident that we have shaped a plan that uses the site's natural
features to its advantage.

Liberty at Creekside will feature our Premier Collection, which is our basement
style townhome.

Provides a plan with the Master on the Main Floor
Walk-Out Basements
Bright and Filled with Windows
Stvle: Scenic, Cozy, Relaxed, Luxurious, and Private
Community Placement: Takes advantage of Preservation/Steep Slope areas in
the community by bringing the focus to the back of the homes with balconies and
walkout basements. This Collection also boasts a more Natural Setting and
provides yet another housing style for the life cycles within the "Liberty"
communities and Chanhassen.
Market: Empty Nesters, Move-Up Townhome Buyers, and Families.
Since Town & Country Homes first proposed the Premier homes for Liberty on
Bluff Creek (which is the larger site to the West along Audubon), we have
upgraded the look of the homes to integrate an even more traditional flare, and to
customize the homes special for the City of Chanhassen.
Woodlands, ponds, wetlands and the
highly regarded Bluff Creek Overlay
district surround Liberty at Creekside. In
planning this community, our best efforts
were focused on preserving as much of
the site's natural integrity as possible.
Product selection and layout plays an
enormous role in optimizing all the site
has to offer. Site walks and discussion
with city staff has lead us to the attractive Liberty at Creekside plan we have
today. The "Liberty" communities will truly offer something special to homebuyers
by surpassing normal levels of green space preservation, outdoor activity
possibilities, and desirable locations.
Quality of Life
Homeowners Association:

Revised Preliminary Plat Submittal June 14.2005
A Homeowners Association will maintain all common areas, private streets, and
amenities - including the community pool. Town & Country Homes is proficient
and experienced in HOA creation and management. We take pride in the
management companies we hire and expect a high level of standards and
performance. This guarantees that the community will be meticulously
maintained, and will retain a high value for years to come.
Noteworthy News:
Very recently, a well-known and successful national homebuilder just entering
into the Minnesota market place, K. Hovnanian, has acquired Town & Country
Homes. This is an exciting turning point for Town & Country Homes because we
will now be backed with even more ability to venture into unique and innovative
opportunities. K. Hovnanian is a publicly held company, yet still maintains strong
family values and ownership, which was important to Town & Country Homes
and the Ryan family. Town & Country Homes will keep its name, and current
office location. We look forward to expanding on our success in the homebuilding
community.
