Re: Minor PUD Amendment
Parcel A, Springridge Reserve PUD, Phase 1 and Parcel 11, Faranhyll Ranch
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, the parties have 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, while the Springridge Property
is located within a PUD. Accordingly, the parties are following the Boundary Line Adjustment
Procedure and have filed Amended Plat and Rezoning Applications concurrently with this
Application.
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

prepare the necessary correction documents as set forth in the Agreement between the parties
submitted herewith.
The proposed Boundary Line Adjustment constitutes a Minor Modification to the Springridge
Reserve PUD pursuant to Section 6-203(C). The Applicants merely seek to adjust the boundary line
between their properties, which will not alter the character of either property, increase the density
of either development, decrease the amount of dedicated open space, adversely affect any
neighboring properties or alter the existing uses or provisions of the Springridge Reserve PUD. The
five (5) acres being removed from the Springridge Reserve PUD shall no longer be subject to the
PUD zoning, while the five (5) acres being added to the Springridge Reserve PUD shall become
subject to the existing PUD zoning and all existing conditions and requirements associated therewith.
Accordingly, the proposed PUD 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.
Submitted herewith is a check in the amount of $300.00 to cover the Application Fee,
together with three hard copies and one digital copy of the complete Application. Applicants request
that this Application be processed concurrently with the Amended Plat Application previously
submitted. Please let me know if you have any questions or need anything further to process the
Application.
Very truly yours,
BA
