Stowe Mountain Lodge

 

Civil services for new 139-unit, luxury, 4-star resort building at Spruce Peak Mountain Village. The project included six levels of whole-ownership and fractional-ownership units on a five-acre site adjacent to the Spruce Peak ski area. A luxury spa was included as a key amenity. Underground parking was developed to serve the project.

Professional Services

Services included design of grading, paving, stormwater management, water and wastewater systems, and erosion prevention and sediment control systems for the site. Design of site improvements required close coordination with the Spruce Peak Master Plan requirements. Erosion control was critical on the project as it is located in a mountainous terrain in close proximity to streams. The stormwater management system included a Vortechnics chamber to provide water quality treatment and a subsurface infiltration gallery to provide retention and groundwater recharge.

Grading at the site was challenging, as the building was required to blend into the forested hillside, while providing for convenient vehicle and pedestrian accessibility, including ADA access. Clearing limits established during the permitting/approval phases of the project resulted in constraints to grading that required creative use of slope stabilization and retaining walls. Close coordination with other project team members, including the owner, landscape architect, and permitting approval agencies, was critical to developing the project successfully.

Top Ridge Development

 

Civil/site design for Top Ridge development, an existing development of single-family and duplex-style homes.

Two driveways (approximately 450 and 300 feet long) provide access from Glissade Drive to the parking areas in front of the units. Additional construction activities include realignment of upper portion of Glissade Drive, installation of water & sewer utilities, side slope grading, retaining walls, driveway culverts, an overflow parking area, and stone-lined ditches.
