DESCRIPTION OF SITE AND PROPOSAL The application involves the Ranch of Roaring Fork, Phase V, Lot 25 and the HOA easement. Juan Grobler purchased the property in 2004. The parcel was platted in 1976 as part of Ranch of Roaring Fork, Phase V, Lot 25 and recorded as Reception No. 273384. The proposed amended final plat is to reduce the utilities and drainage easement on the west side of the parcel from 20 foot to 8 foot. It would be similar to a 10-foot easement on the eastern side of Lots 12-14 at the cul de sac. Originally the applicant asked for 10-foot easement but with the permission of the HOA, was granted an allowance to have an 8- foot easement. Currently a fence is in the 20-foot easement but will be replaced by a sunroom. New exterior decks will be built but are not in the easement. 2 Figure 1 Location of Parcel II.
