Introduction and Project Overview - April 28, 2011

Introduction and Project Overview:

Point Dillon Condominiums is updating the landscape surrounding the existing

condominium building. There are 4 areas of interest. Area 1 includes a new

proposed entry/exit drive on to West La Bonte Street and a remodeled front

entrance landscape. Areas 2 and 3 are located on the West side of the

condominium complex near the existing indoor spa. This area provides

pedestrian access from the complex to the existing regional bike trail. It also

includes a landscape buffer along the existing bike trail adjacent to the existing

indoor spa. Area 4 is located on the east side of the condominium complex. This

area provides a new pedestrian connection from the existing parking garage to

the south sidewalk running parallel with the complex.

Landscape Vision:

Enhance the landscape surrounding

Point Dillon Condominiums by defining

public and private spaces and

improving circulation.

Goals:

- Create a new entrance/exit drive connecting the existing parking lot to West La

Bonte Street.

- Relocate existing trash enclosure and buffer with landscaping.

1. Looking at the existing main entrance sign and perennial

bed with the main entrance glass lobby building in the

background.

2. Looking at the existing trash enclosure located directly across

the main entrance drive. This is the first thing you see driving

into the parking lot.

3. Looking southwest at the front sloping landscape island

leading up to the existing parking lot and drive.

4. Looking south up the hill at the landscape area

west of the existing indoor spa.

5. Looking north at the area east of the

condominium building where the future

pedestrian access will be located

from the existing parking

garage.

Area 1 landscape Concept:

A new proposed shrub bed is proposed

adjacent to the existing sidewalk along West La

Bonte Street. This new shrub bed will provide

updated curb appeal for visitors and travelers

along West La Bonte Street. An updated sign

and perennial bed is also proposed at the

existing main entrance. Two way signage is

proposed for visitors traveling east and west on

West La Bonte Street.

A new entrance/exit drive is proposed to

access West La Bonte Street. Wildflowers,

Aspen trees and Englemann Spruce are

proposed within this new landscaping island.

Relocation to the west edge of the existing

parking lot and landscape buffering of the

existing trash enclosure is proposed. Currently

the trash enclosure is the first visual element

visitors and residents see when entering the

complex parking lot. A new proposed

perennial bed is located in the area where the

trash enclosure is located currently. This

proposed perennial bed will be the first visual

seen when driving into the updated parking lot.

An updated perennial bed is proposed near

the front lobby building and main complex

entrance.

Areas 2 and 3 Landscape Concept:

Resident pedestrian circulation from the

existing sidewalk to the existing regional bike

trail is proposed in this west area near the

existing indoor spa. A flagstone path and stone

steps are proposed to get from the complex up

to the existing bike trail. A shrub bed is formed

along the existing concrete sidewalk near the

building.

A landscape buffer is proposed along the

existing bike path adjacent to the existing

indoor spa. This landscape buffer will block

views into the existing spa and create a calm

space on this side of the building. This new

landscape buffer will not block views from the

condominium to the mountains and lake.

An intimate space is created near the indoor

spa. Lawn and wildflower intertwine to create

a visual landscape space seen from the indoor

spa and above. Proposed small colorful

Chokecherry trees will be located within the

wildflower seed area.

Patty’s garden is located adjacent to the

existing concrete patio near the regional bike

trail. Flagstone will be located between the

existing concrete patio and the bike trail to

help break up the two spaces. A new

remodeled fence is proposed along the

northern edge of the existing

concrete patio. A privacy sign will

be place within the

proposed shrub bed

to keep non-residents

from traveling down

into the Point Dillon

property.

Area 4 Landscape Concept:

Currently there is no pedestrian circulation from

the existing parking garage exterior door to the

south sidewalk that runs east and west along

the building. A flagstone pathway from the

parking garage exterior door to the south

sidewalk is proposed.

A shrub bed located on the east side of the

skywalk is proposed offering a nice transition

from landscape to building. Aspen trees are

proposed along the flagstone path on the

south side of the complex. The space where

the Aspen are proposed now is lawn ending

abruptly at a very tall building. The aspen will

help transition from lawn to tall wall in this area.

Drip edge stone is proposed along the building

edge near the parking garage door.

An Aspen tree grove is proposed for the

landscape area adjacent to the existing

parking lot. Currently there are many aspen

trees in this area. Adding more Aspen will make

this area feel like a natural Aspen forest. Native

grass seed will be applied under the existing

and proposed Aspen and along the property

line to the east.

Large annual flower pots are proposed along

the southern walk. The flower pots will give

seasonal interest and color along the

south side of the building. These

flower pot will not be

large enough to

block views.

Overall Landscape Concept:

By remodeling the landscape areas

surrounding Point Dillon condominiums it will

enhance the visitor and resident experience.

A beautiful new colorful entrance parking lot

island will be seen from West La Bonte Street.

New colorful perennials will accompany the

remodeled building entrance signage. A new

perennial bed will be the the main focus when

entering the parking lot. A new entrance and

exit drive will make vehicular circulation in and

out of the existing parking lot much more

accessible.

Pedestrian circulation on the east and west

side of the complex to the south side of the

complex will be improved. A quiet private

outdoor natural garden space will be created

on the west side of the complex adjacent to

the existing indoor spa. Patty's garden will

surround the existing remodeled concrete

patio adjacent to the existing regional bike

trail.

Seasonal planters along the south sidewalk will

create color along the southern end of the

building. In the winter months these planters

can be filled with small cut and lit evergreen

trees.

The proposed landscape additions will

enhance the quality and look of

the Point Dillon Condominiums.

The updated

landscape will also

add to the overall

value to the

complex.
