The address for the improvements on the site is 5744 County Road 117, Glenwood Springs. TYPE OF APPLICATION: PUD Zoning Amendment (Minor) in conjunction with an Amended Plat and Boundary Line Adjustment Affidavit ZONING: PUD (Spring Ridge Reserve) & Rural (Faranhyll Ranch) 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. The Applicant has applied for an Amended Plat Application and is processing a Boundary Line Adjustment affidavit to effect the proposed changes. The Spring Ridge Reserve PUD zoning will also need to be modified to remove the 5 acres being conveyed to the Neimeyers and include within the PUD the 5 acres being conveyed to the Spring Ridge Reserve (to be included within Parcel A Open Space). The PUD amendment is a technical step to ensure the properties will all be zoned properly. 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 process. This will involve attorneys for the Applicants, owners and the Aspen Valley Land Trust. The County Attorney's Office will assist in the review of the documents. The PUD amendment will need to be properly documented with an updated PUD Plan and any needed updates to the PUD Guide. 11. PUD ZONING AMENDMENT The Applicant's request has been reviewed in accordance with Section 6-203(B)(1)(a), PUD Amendment.
