I. GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Applicant proposes to correct a survey error that resulted in a home being built on the
Spring Ridge PUD Open Space. The correction will involve 5 acres being conveyed from
the Spring Ridge PUD to the Niemeyers that contains their residence. The Niemeyers will
convey to the Spring Ridge PUD 5 acres of vacant land currently in a native undisturbed
state for inclusion into the Spring Ridge open space parcel. The Spring Ridge Parcel A
Open Space is approximately 190 aces in size and the Neimeyer's Faranhyll property is 35
acres and with the net exchange of 5 acres the acreages for each property will remain
essentially unchanged. No other changes are proposed and no physical alternations to the
two properties are proposed. No changes to any infrastructure or access is proposed.

Concurrent with the Amended Plat Application a Boundary Line Adjustment will need to be
processed with the County Assessor's Office. This process will address the documentation
and legal description for the changes to the Neimeyer property known as Parcel 11 on the
Faranhyll Ranch Map of 35 acre parcels. The Faranhyll property will need to maintain a
minimum size of 35 acres. Drafts of the Boundary Line Adjustment documents should be
included as an attachment to the Amended Plat Application. Coordination of filing and
recording of the Boundary Line Adjustment documents with the amended plat will be
completed subject to direction from the County Attorney's Office. The Amended Plat will
include notes referencing the Boundary Line Adjustment and relevant recording
information.
Both properties are subject to conservation easements with Aspen Valley Land Trust.
Proper legal documentation and authorization from the trust will be needed to complete the
transaction/transfer. This will involve attorneys for the Applicants, owners and the Aspen
Valley Land Trust. The County Attorney's Office assist in the review of the documents.
The amended plat for the Spring Ridge Reserve Parcel A, Open Space will need to include
all standard plat requirements, signature blocks, and certificates. The Applicant should
refer to the County's Resource Guide for the latest information on required certificates.
