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.

Point Dillon Condominiums by defining
public and private spaces and
improving circulation.

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.
