GOLUBA golubapc@comcast.net May 16, 2017 Community Development Department 108 8th Street, Suite 401 Glenwood Springs, CO 81601 Re: Plat Amendment of Parcel A, Springridge Reserve PUD, Phase 1 Dear Director: This firm is representing Andy and Shirley Niemeyer (the "Niemeyers") in connection with adjusting the boundary of their property known as Parcel 11, Faranhyll Ranch (the "Niemeyer Property") with an open space parcel known as Parcel A, Springridge Reserve PUD, Phase 1 (the "Springridge Property"). The Springridge Property is owned by the Springridge Reserve Homeowners Association ("Springridge"). Pursuant to the Agreement between the Niemeyers and Springridge, a copy of which is submitted herewith, Springridge has authorized this firm to pursue all approvals necessary to adjust the boundary line between the Niemeyer Property and the Springridge Property. A recent survey of the Niemeyer Property revealed that the Niemeyer Residence, which was built by a previous owner in the late 1990s, is entirely located on the Springridge Reserve Property. The parties have agreed to accomplish a boundary line adjustment between their respective properties pursuant to which Springridge shall convey to the Niemeyers a five (5) acre parcel upon which the Niemeyer Residence is located and the Niemeyers shall convey to Springridge a five (5) acre parcel consisting of native and undisturbed land. The Niemeyer Property is not within a platted subdivision. Accordingly, the parties shall follow the Boundary Line Adjustment Procedure and any applicable rezoning process concurrently with this Application in order to properly adjust the boundary of the Niemeyer Property. It is also understood that an Application for PUD Amendment regarding the parcels removed from and added to the Springridge Property will need to be processed through the County. Both the Niemeyer Property and the Springridge Property are subject to separate Conservation Easements held by Aspen Valley Land Trust ("AVLT"). Accordingly, the legal descriptions for both Conservation Easements will need to be corrected. AVLT has agreed to Community Development Department May 15, 2017 Page 2 prepare the necessary correction documents as set forth in the Agreement between the parties submitted herewith. The proposed Amendment is merely correcting a surveying error and does not increase the number of lots or result in the relocation of a road or the addition of any new roads and therefore meets the criteria set forth in Section 5-305(C). Furthermore, the proposed Amendment will not result in any changes to drainage, access, utility services or any other applicable Standards set forth in Article 7. The Application does not alter or affect the development requirements or restrictions currently in place for the Springridge Reserve PUD or any infrastructure or improvements associated therewith. Accordingly, Applicant hereby requests that the submittal of an Improvements Agreement be waived. Submitted herewith is a check in the amount of $100.00 to cover the Application Fee, together with three hard copies and one digital copy of the complete Application. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything further to process the Application. Very truly yours, NWG:lsc Enclosures C:\Client\Niemeyer\Community Development Ltr.wpd
