Parks & Gardens was recently contracted to study access alternatives for a 50+ acre site that is tucked into the edge of Thorpe Mountain. New access and site improvements would have significant cut/fill requirements and also have a substantial impact on existing vegetation. The following issues were addressed:

• Implications of new road beds and drainage for the existing road alignment
• Implications of cut/fill, drainage and vegetation loss for alternative alignments
• Relationship between primary residential entrance, breezeway, garage, barns and potential second residence
• Site drainage including snow removal patterns and snow storage
• Guest drop off and parking
• Patios, gardens and spa access
• View corridors

The proposed plan emphasizes views to the mountain, meadow, and riding ring by defining and expanding areas of aspen trees.
