RE: Rosemary Villas at Chenal – PRD Application
Dear Mr. Moore
Cypress Bend Properties is submitting a PRD Application for Rosemary Villas at Chenal to be
submitted to the Planning Commission at the June 10, 2021 meeting. Rosemary Villas is an
upscale 219-unit independent living, 55+ Gated Community that sets on 36.65 acres. The
development includes a 16,500-club house, swimming pool, hot tub, fitness center, putting green,
fire pits, several gazebo’s, and a mile of sidewalks and alternative pedestrian paths. The units
will consist of one story and two-story units and will range from 1600 sq. ft to 2000 sq. ft. We
are proposing to build the development in 4 phases and advance grade the entire development as
part of the Phase I. We are also requesting the following variances: 1.) A combination of
pedestrian paths paved and unpaved in lieu of sidewalks along all the streets. 2.) Slope’s steeper than
3:1 based on recommendations after a geotechnical investigation and report. 3.) 1:1 benched cuts
behind units based on recommendations after a geotechnical investigation and report. 4.) Offsite
improvements or in lieu contribution to offset full Master Street Plan improvements to Kanis Road.
Grading, sidewalk, and right-of-way dedication would be completed for that portion of Kanis
adjacent to this project. 5.) Clear and grade the entire project with construction of Phase 1. I have
attached a copy of the PRD Application, Site Plan, Boundary Survey, and Master Plan for your
review. Please let me know if you need anything else.
If you have any questions regarding this application, please contact me at (501) 416-0801.
Sincerely,
Randy Alberius
