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.

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 a Minor PUD modification to the Spring Ridge Reserve PUD to adjust the PUD zoning to reflect the proposed changes.
