BACKGROUND AND DESGRIPTION OF THE PROPOSAL This is an amended plat application to amend the property line betrrveen the Ranch at the Roaring Fork PUD and the Coffrnan Ranch North Parcel. According to the Applicant: This Application is subnritted orr behalf of 'l'he Rauclt at Roaring Fork Hontcotvttcrs Association to antcnd thc Final Plat ol n'hat is knor'"'n as the Conrnron Recreational Rcsen'e Area of 'l'he ll.anclr at Roaring Fork. Thc Common Rccrcational Rescn'e of The Rattch at Roaring Fork is the platted open spacc rvithin 'l'he Ranch at Roaring Fork. The purposc of this Application is to allon, Thc Ranch at Roaring Fork to e.xchangc parccls of rcal property rvith Rcx and Jo Ann Coffntan, thc ou,ners of property to the south, so that the conln'lon property line between the ou,ners will hc the centerline of lhe Roaring Fork Ril'cr. Under currcllt conditions, Thc Ranch al Roaring Fork owns propcny which lies south olthe River and is inaccessible lo the Ilanch and the Col'linan's ot!n property nonh of the River u'lticlr is inacccssiblc to thcm' The Applicant goes on to state that: Because thc parcels of real propc(y that the Ranch rvill conve)' to Coffntan arL- row part of the platted Comnron Recrcational Rcscrvc, and thc parccl that C.'olfntatt u'ill convcy to thc Ranch rvill be adcled to the platted Comnron ltecreational llesen,e, tlte exchattge of real propcny contcmplatcd by thc Rarrch and thc Coftirran's cannol be acconrplished through the County's boundar.v line ar.ljustmetlt procedure, No arnendccl plat for thc Coffntan propcrty is ncccssary becausc the 1>ropcrty that they u'ill be conveying and receiving is part of a subdivision exemption plat. Thus, from thc Coffman's pcrspcctivc. thc cxchangc of properties ntay be ntade through the boundary line adjustntent procedure. It is irnpo(ant to note thal in accordancc rvith paragraph 7 of the Agreement for h.xchauge of Real Property, the parcels of propcrty to be exchangc'd u'ill bc convcycd subject to a pcrpctual dccd rcstrictiotr. collscn'alion eascmcnt. or other mechanisnr acceptahle to the parties that rvill prevent in perpetuity any residential or comnrcrcial developrncnt upon any ol'thc propcrtics bei n,e excltan gcd. tt is the intention of the parties that upon approval of the Amended Final Plat, the exchangc dccds rvill bc rccordcd simultancously rvith the recording of the final. approved'l'hird Anrended l;inal Plat. E"..o. Eak- ,# J II I i J i qt i I E-refl Following review of the proposed Amended Plat and subsequent exchange of land, it is evident that there will be no creataon of any new development potential. ln addition, it is Staffs opinion that given the real separation of the properties by the Roaring Fork River, this Amended Plat makes sense logically. Staff is further supportive of limiting future development along the proposed stretch of the Roaring Fork River to protect the water resouroes of the valley. As the Ranch at the Roaring Fork is a plafted suMivision, the Ranch at the Roaring Fork must be approved for an Amended Plat to perform the represented exchange of land. However, as the Applicant accurately states, since the Coffrnan Ranchwas previouslysplitthrough a SuMMsion Exemption, thecoffinan Ranch boundary can be amended through the Boundary Line Adjustment process. 2 It!1lilrt th, 'ii,ill Yz E^ i!r-z; iqFEI 5h ! t: 1i: ;i =_a+i4=+- -- d i,I .1i cs <i .t + Fi i:;'a;,' ;.i ,v Ei .. t, E I +E I !
