I. PREFACE
Bridger’s Cache is a 19-acre single-family residential community located at the base of the
Mary Jane Ski Area at Winter Park Resort featuring heavily-forested slopes and spectacular
views of the Continental Divide. This community is planned as a single-family ski-to/skifrom residences located between the bases of Mary Jane and Winter Park Ski areas.
In a concerted effort to maintain the natural beauty of the 19-acre setting at the base of
the Mary Jane Ski Area and of its unique features, including designated areas of wetlands,
open space, and old growth forest, Bridger’s Cache will endeavor to implement an
architectural strategy that incorporates an ethic of indigenous Colorado ‘Mountain Rustic’
siding, massing and the incumbent use of warm-toned building materials.
By virtue of the sensitive use of naturally appearing materials, including rustic ledge stone
and shadow rock in conjunction with massive timber structural elements, rustic wood siding
and blending textured roofing, the Design Guidelines will manipulate the architectural
massing to respond to the natural topography in order to encourage a sense of the
‘picturesque’ rather than an imposed planning grid.
The intent of the Bridger’s Cache Design Guidelines is to emphasize the sensitive
environment at Bridger’s Cache and promote architectural excellence in the design of
homes with respect to their environment. The Design Guidelines apply equally to all home
sites and provide a distinct basis for the design character and construction, landscaping and
the preservation of the natural surrounding environment.
The Architectural Review Committee (ARC), in accordance with the Declaration of
Protective Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Bridger’s Cache, has adopted these
Guidelines. The Guidelines will be administered and enforced by the ARC. The ARC may
amend these Guidelines from time-to-time and it is the responsibility of the Owner or their
representatives to obtain and confirm compliance before submitting plans for approval. In
the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of the Declaration and these
Guidelines, the terms and provisions of the Declaration shall control.

III. DESIGN REVIEW PROCEDURES
The Bridger’s Cache Architectural Review Committee shall operate in accordance with
Article X of the Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for
Bridger’s Cache, which are recorded in the Grand County real property records.
These Design Guidelines have been developed to guarantee that the natural character
visualized for Bridger’s Cache is achieved throughout the design and construction of each
home. The guidelines apply equally to all Lot Owners with respect to the design of each
home recognizing that each Owner will have their own design objectives and each Lot has
unique natural topography. The Bridger's Cache Architectural Review Committee (ARC)
has the right to review, in its reasonable discretion, all development for conformance with
the general intent of these architectural guidelines as well as those adopted by the Town of
Winter Park. The ARC will obtain the services of outside professionals for review of all
submittals. The ARC reserves the right to revise these guidelines as changing conditions
and priorities dictate.
A. Preliminary Design Conference
Before preparing preliminary plans for a proposed improvement, it is required that the
Owner and their representatives meet member(s) of the Architectural Review Committee or
its representative to visit the site to review design concepts, guideline requirements, and
existing characteristics of the site. It is anticipated that the review process will take a
minimum of 60 days which includes 30 days for preliminary and 30 days for final review.
The length of the review period will depend on the Owner and their architect’s compliance
with the required submittal. The design review process requires that the Owner receive
approval of the final design before submitting for a building permit. The Owner must also
meet with the ARC or its representative on-site after receiving final design approval and a
building permit and before beginning to clear or thin trees.
B. Preliminary Design Review Submittal
1. Submit to the Architectural Review Committee four copies of preliminary plans,
which must include:

siding, fascias, and roofs. The samples are not to exceed 6”x6” for each
sample.
2. Notification Letter
• Applicant will receive notification in writing of the Review Committee's decision.
If submittal requires amendment, applicant may make said amendments or
appeal the ARC decision to the Bridger’s Cache Executive Board.
D. Stakeout
Upon approval of submitted project, a complete site stakeout of all building corners is
required. Construction poles showing major plate heights and Building Height are
required before any disturbance occurs on any lot. Also required will be center of
driveway staking and the marking of all trees to be removed. Upon completion of the
stakeout, the review board will make a site visit for their approval.
E. Building Department Permit Submittal
Applicants with final design approval must submit completed construction documents as
required by the Town of Winter Park Building Department in order to receive a building
permit.
F. Insurance
Prior to commencing construction on any Lot, the Owner of that Lot must provide to
the ARC insurance certificates evidencing coverage for damage or destruction of any
part of the Common Elements or the other portions of the area of common
Page 9 of 41
responsibility, or of any part of an other Owner’s Lot including improvements located
thereon, resulting from the use of a Construction Easement. All insurance policies
obtained by an Owner pursuant to this Section shall name the Association and other
Owners, as applicable, as additional insureds and certificate holders.
G. Design Review Fees, Performance, Revegetation/Repair and Landscape
Deposits
A non-refundable design review fee of $1,000 is due prior to preliminary design
conference.
In order to assure compliance with ARC construction regulations, the Owner shall
deposit a Performance Deposit with the Architectural Review Committee before
initiating construction. The deposit shall be made payable to Bridger’s Cache Owners
Association and submitted with the final plans. Once construction is completed and the
Owner receives a Certificate of Compliance from the ARC, the deposit will be returned.
If the ARC determines that any of the improvements on the final approved plans are not
constructed in compliance with approved plans and specifications, the ARC may draw
on the Performance Deposit such funds as necessary to complete the unfinished
improvement or to correct any violations. The Performance Deposit does not preclude
the ARC from taking further action as permitted by the Declaration for Bridger’s Cache
to ensure project compliance with these Guidelines.
Along with the Performance Deposit, all Owners are required to provide to the ARC a
Repair/Revegetation Deposit to ensure that any damage done to any roads, easements,
Common Elements, or another Owner’s Lot will be properly repaired and revegetated, if
required. The ARC may, by rule approved by the Board, adopt a greater or lesser
amount, or may adopt a formula with Board approval to determine an amount, as
experience dictates. The ARC may also provide, with Board approval, for different
amounts for different types of projects and may provide for retention of the
Repair/Revegetation Deposit for a period not to exceed one (1) year after substantial
completion in the event repair, regrading or revegetation is required. The
Repair/Revegetation Deposit does not preclude the ARC from taking further action as
permitted by the Declaration for Bridger’s Cache to ensure project compliance with
these Guidelines.
In addition, to ensure completion of the approved landscaping and revegetation
improvements, a Landscape Deposit shall be submitted simultaneously with landscape
plan and the final construction plans and specifications. This deposit shall be made
payable to the Bridger’s Cache Owners Association. Once landscaping and revegetation
is completed and the Owner receives a Certificate of Compliance from the ARC, the
deposit will be returned. If the ARC determines that any of the improvements on the
final approved plans are not constructed in compliance with approved plans and
specifications, the ARC may draw on the Landscape Deposit such funds as necessary to
complete the unfinished improvement or to correct any violations. The Landscape
Deposit does not preclude the ARC from taking further action as permitted by the
Declaration for Bridger’s Cache to ensure project compliance with these Guidelines.
The total of the deposits will be $10,000, made payable to the Bridger’s Cache Owner’s
Association and will be returned, without interest and less any draws that have been
Page 10 of 41
made on the deposit. The return will be made within 30 days after the Owner has
received a certificate of compliance from the ARC for performance, repair/revegetation
and landscape.
IV. SITE DEVELOPMENT DESIGN GUIDELINES
A. Intent
Each Lot in Bridger’s Cache has very distinct topography allowing unique opportunities for
design. The goal of site and landscape design is to guarantee the sensitive integration with
its site and surroundings. The process of integrating the landscape with the built
environment began with the placement of each individual Building Envelope. Each Building
Envelope has been located to avoid steep slopes and environmentally-sensitive areas.
Except for permitted entry monuments, driveways, sidewalks and trails, no structure
(including retaining walls, decks, overhangs, and cantilevered structures) shall be located
outside the Building Envelope. Only at the discretion of the ARC shall other minor
improvements be permitted to be made outside the Building Envelope.
B. Building Siting
Buildings and improvements should be sited and designed as an integral element of the
natural landscape and not dominate the natural features of the community. Site grading
should be kept to the minimum necessary to integrate the home with the site. Stepping the
structure with the slope is required to minimize disturbance and to break up the mass of
the building. Overlot grading will not be permitted. Buildings should be sited to find a
balance between minimizing cutting trees, while at the same time incorporating the
structure into existing tree masses and topography.
Stepping Building
Driveway approaches and grading must also be designed to have the least amount of
disturbance. Attention must be given to views on and off each lot, slopes, existing
Page 11 of 41
vegetation, solar exposure, and functional orientation of the home.
C. Snow Management
Snow storage areas for the community are located on the Bridger’s Cache Final Plat. Snow
storage areas for individual Lots must be shown on the submitted site plan. Snow must not
be directed to areas that would be unsafe for pedestrians. Snow storage areas must be
provided for driveways, walkways, patios, and roofs and must be indicated and reviewed by
the ARC.
D. Forest Management and Wildfire Mitigation Plan
Bridger’s Cache has an approved Forest Management and Wildfire Mitigation Plan, which
includes a program to enhance the health of the existing forest, a copy of which may be
obtained from the Architectural Review Committee. The Forest Management and Wildfire
Page 12 of 41
Mitigation Plan include specific restrictions with regard to tree removal within the property
and Building Envelope. Each applicant is encouraged to review the terms of the Forest
Management and Wildfire Mitigation Plan before submittal for Preliminary Design Review
to the ARC.
E. Grading
Site grading shall be designed as a combination of cuts, fills, and retaining walls that
protect stands of trees or other natural site features. Walls must be designed to blend into
or appear to be an extension of the existing natural land features. Re-graded slopes shall
not exceed 2:1 unless it is clearly demonstrated to the ARC that a steeper slope will not
erode. Whenever possible, natural slopes should be used in lieu of structures. Cut-and-fill
slopes are to be re-vegetated with native plant materials including mature trees and
blended into the surrounding environment. Grading shall extend beyond Building Envelopes
and/or setbacks to ensure smooth transition to the existing topography.
F. Retaining Walls, Landscape Walls and Fences
When feasible, retaining and landscape walls should be designed as an extension of the
structure or as an extension of the natural landscape. The top and ends of the walls should
be designed to blend with the natural contours to visually tie the wall to the surrounding
landforms. Walls, in general, should not exceed four feet (4’-0”) in height. For walls that
exceed four feet (4’-0”), a stepped or terraced design for planting should be implemented.
In order to maintain the open character of the Lot and to minimize interference with the
natural movement of wildlife, fencing shall be limited and is generally discouraged. Fencing
shall be permitted by the ARC only around the perimeter of limited areas within Building
Envelopes but is strictly prohibited for the entire perimeter of Building Envelopes. No
fence or wall shall be permitted to extend within the minimum building setback area
without the approval of the ARC. The Owner must prove specific need and purpose for the
fence. No wire fence will be permitted.
Privacy type fences, utilized in screening patios, hot tubs, and decks shall not exceed four
feet (4’- 0”) in height and shall be constructed of masonry, preferably solid stone; however,
at the discretion of the ARC, stone veneer - either genuine or cultured - over reinforced
Page 13 of 41
concrete masonry units may be substituted. The ARC must approve all fences during the
Design Review process.
G. Drainage
Natural drainage courses shall be protected during construction and, to the extent possible,
natural drainage courses should be maintained at the completion of construction. Drainage
shall be designed to slope away from the foundations at five percent (5%) minimum for the
initial five feet (5’-0”) or in accordance with a specifically prepared soils report. Drainage
under driveways shall be controlled with culverts. Headwalls, ditches, and similar drainage
structures, visible from offsite are to be built of, or veneered with, an approved stone
similar to that used on the adjacent structure. Any metal or concrete culverts or pipes are
to be concealed with stone as well.
H. Erosion Control
Prior to the commencement of construction, on-site erosion control is required and must be
in place to protect adjacent properties and should conform to the State of Colorado and
Town of Winter Park requirements. Proposed site erosion control type and location shall be
depicted on site plans submitted to the ARC for approval at Final Design Review. The use
of sedimentation ponds or basins, straw bales, silt fencing, slope stabilization fabrics is
required as necessary to minimize or prevent erosion.
I. Driveways and Parking
Driveways shall be constructed by the Declarant in a predetermined location best suited for
access to each individual Building Envelope. Under no circumstances shall the driveway
location be changed. For shared driveways (including Lots 9 & 10, Lots 11 & 12, and Lots
13 & 14) a reciprocal driveway easement exists to address maintenance issues. The
Declarant will provide asphalt paving driveways to the edge of the common driveway
provided by the Declarant.
Page 14 of 41
It is the responsibility of the Owner to complete the paving or other hard surfacing of that
Owner’s driveway to the structure located within the Building Envelope. If any particular
design merits a change in materials, the driveway may introduce a different material
provided
there is a smooth
transition from one
material to another and
it must be approve by
the ARC. Heated
driveways are required
on slopes greater than
ten percent (10%), and
in no case should a
driveway slope exceed
twelve percent (12%).
Driveway clearings
should not be more than
sixteen feet (16’-0”) or
less than teen feet (10’-0”) in width and all utilities shall be located within driveway
clearings. Driveways must be constructed to provide all-weather access to the structure.
All driveway surfaces shall be improved with asphalt, concrete or stone pavers. All hard
surfaced driveway areas shall not exceed fifteen feet (15’-0”) in width. In addition,
driveways must include an engineered drainage system that separates sand and other
pollutants from surface water flows.
No dwelling shall be constructed unless there is concurrently provided within the same
Building Envelope adequate off-street parking for at least four (4) automobiles, two (2) of
which must be in an enclosed garage. See Covenants for extra parkway if there is a
caretaker unit.
The placement of these spaces shall be shown on the plans submitted to the ARC for
approval at Final Design Review. All Outside Parking Areas within the Lot providing
outside parking spaces for the Lot must be improved with asphalt, concrete, or stone
pavers.
J. Exterior Lighting
Exterior lighting is to be minimized, and used essentially to meet the requirements of
safety and easy identification of entrances, driveways, and buildings. Elsewhere,
lowintensity fixtures or indirect light sources are to be used. Lights following the driveway
at regular spacing are discouraged. In some cases the ARC could approve the placement of
lights at key places along the driveway for safety purposes, provided they meet the design
requirements herein. Down lighting is required for drives and walkways. Guardrails with
reflectors can be used to help mark the driveway. Light sources are to be incandescent,
halogen or other “white” light, not sodium vapor or other colored light, except for
temporary Christmas decorations. Fixtures are to use low-intensity (40W or less) light
sources with translucent or frosted glass lens. Clear glass lenses shall not be acceptable.
Except for low-level lighting of a driveway, exterior lighting is to be located within the
Building Envelope.
Page 15 of 41
Lighting mounted to structures shall be directed downward away from adjacent lots,
homes, streets, or open space and shall not be mounted in a manner to light walls for
decorative purposes. An excessive amount of fixtures, or excessive light levels and glare
will not be allowed. Exterior light sources and brightly illuminated surfaces visible from off
the property are to be avoided. Flood lighting for emergency purposes is permitted only if
connected to a home security monitoring system, but may not be movement activated.
Low-intensity (not clear glass)
K. Site Utilities
Site utilities are to be installed underground on an alignment shown on a site plan
previously approved by the ARC at Final Design Review that minimizes grade cuts, tree
removal, and other disruptions of the lot. Utility construction, including storage of
earthwork spoils, shall respect adjacent lots, wetland areas (when applicable) and be kept
to a minimum storage area so as to not destroy the existing forest and ground cover. Utility
boxes or connections, including meters, shall be screened from public view by integral
design features of adequate landscaping. All disturbed areas must be revegetated and
returned to natural or re-graded grade.
L. Signage
Signage shall not be attached or fastened to natural features including existing or newly
planted trees. Under no circumstances shall any signage be allowed without prior review
and written consent from the ARC except for the following: 1) Signage required by legal
proceedings; 2) Signage identifying security alarms and/or companies not greater than
twelve inches by twelve inches (12” x 12”). These identification signs shall be no more that
thirtysix inches (36”) from finished grade and must be placed inside the Building Envelope;
3) One “For Sale” sign, not greater than twenty four inches by twenty four inches (24” x
24”), shall be permitted within a Lot boundary; and 4) Signage not greater than ten (10)
square feet, indicating construction activity, which may include but is not limited to
information indicating the Owner, Architect, and Builder shall be permitted within the Lot
boundary
M. Decks
Exterior decks must be designed to be compatible and an integral element with the
architecture of the structure. Decks should be designed within the mass of the structure, or
when designed as a cantilevered element of the building the deck should be supported by
either angle bracing or structural elements such as stone columns or a combination of
heavy timber columns and stone bases.
Stone
Pillars
Page 16 of 41
N. Identification Monuments
The Owner must provide house address monuments for each individual lot. No more than
two (2) sets of address numbers are allowed on each home. Any address numbers mounted
to a structure shall be integrated into the architectural design of the structure and shall be
reviewed and approved by the ARC.
O. Miscellaneous Improvements
All trash receptacle areas shall be screened behind doors with similar architectural detail
features integrated to the main structure design. Location will be shown on site plan.
Containers should be bear-proof or made inaccessible to wildlife when outdoors for
collection day only.
No flag poles, sporting equipment or playgrounds will be allowed.
Hot tubs and spas shall be located within the Building Envelopes and screened from public
view. As with other landscaping improvements, materials for screening, fencing and decks
shall be consistent with, and integrated to, the architectural detail features of the main
structure design.
A doghouse structure, if approved, shall be constructed of natural materials with earth
tones and integrate the main structure design, and in both cases shall be reviewed and
approved by the ARC in advance of installation.
Satellite dishes up to twenty-four (24”) in diameter as well as their mounting location must
be reviewed and approved by the ARC prior to their installation. Rooftop mounting of
satellite dishes is prohibited. Such devices shall be located so as not to be in sight of
adjacent lots and roads, common areas, other lots, trails & ski corridors when possible. It is
encouraged that dishes are painted to match the architecture of the structure to reduce
their visibility.
Due to the extreme temperatures in mountain environment, exterior water features, such
as fountain or waterfalls are generally discouraged. The ARC must review and approve any
such design elements at the time of Final Design Review.
Outdoor fireplaces or fire pits are allowed as long as they are gas appliances and fit within
the building envelope.
V. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES
The intent of the Bridger’s Cache Design Guidelines is to create and ensure a distinctive
character and level of design quality expected of this unique mountain environment and
community. This will be achieved by the use of predominantly natural, indigenous
materials, colors that blend the buildings into their settings, building massing that is
responsive to the surrounding natural topography, and a rustic mountain architectural style
and quality with emphasis on craftsmanship. Varied roof lines, use of different
materials, rock pillars, log or timber use
Page 17 of 41
A. Massing
Massing of the structures is to be composed of building forms fitted to the existing
topography and natural environment, and must be residential in scale. Building mass shall
provide for varied architectural forms and relief. Simple geometric masses such as saltbox
or A-frame are not consistent with these standards. Roof pitches shall be a minimum of
6:12. Continuous, unbroken vertical and horizontal wall forms or large structures must be
avoided. The building scale should be
reinforced by varied building heights, varied
roof pitches, offsets in building elevations,
cantilevered elements, well-proportioned
fenestration, decks, balconies, dormers, and
architectural detailing. Wall planes should be stepped
a minimum of
Page 18 of 41
two feet (2’-0”) to achieve the building elevation offsets. Stepped walls with integrated
window boxes and covered balconies are encouraged to define a well-balanced
design on all elevations. Solid detail-oriented forms that essentially break the structure into
smaller parts is preferred.
Architectural detailing allows an opportunity to express the heritage of mountain-style
craftsmanship. Large sheltering roofs clearly supported by large vertical elements should
reflect the scale and drama of the structure’s mountain setting. Window and door
placement are very important when dealing with the proportions of the overall design.
Traditional square and divided window designs should be implemented in the design to the
overall structure. Details should be comprised of natural indigenous materials with an artsand-craft or hand-created look.
B. Building Area
Each home shall be sized based on the lot the structure is built upon. Maximum square
footages shall be in accordance with the “Potential Building Square Footage Table”
(Appendix A). In all cases homes shall be a minimum of twentyeight-hundred (2,800)
square feet of livable space excluding the garage and no larger than nine-thousand (9,000)
square feet.
Please note that ALL coverage of the site will not exceed forty percent (40%) of the lot
square footage. See “Potential Building Square Footage Table” (Appendix A) for variations
to this coverage.
C. Building Height
BUILDING HEIGHT SHALL BE DETERMINED AS MEASURED BY THE
TOWN OF WINTER PARK BUILDING CODES AND REGULATIONS.
D. Entries
An importance or hierarchy placed on the entry point of any structure is important and
encouraged. Bringing the building down to a human scale is most important here. Rustic
mountain elegance and detail is a necessity. All entrances, egress paths, driveways, and
pedestrian walkways shall be protected from snow loading and storage.
E. Roofs
All structures shall have a primary sloping roof of not less than a 6:12 pitch. Secondary
roof slopes, which should not exceed roughly forty percent (40%) of the total roof, shall not
be less than a 4:12 pitch. Roofs are the prominent visual element in the architecture of
mountain homes and community and should include dormers and either open ends or
clipped gables. Flat, mansard, and gambrel style roofs are not permitted. Large, unbroken
roof planes should be avoided and will not be acceptable to the ARC. Smaller segmented
roof forms consistent with the architectural form of the home, or a composition of primary
and secondary forms are encouraged. Deep overhangs to provide shading of windows and
to protect decks and pedestrian walkways should be considered. Roof edges at the eave
line should be strong, built-up fascias and open to expose the structural elements of the
roof or soffitting materials.
Page 19 of 41
The overhang of the primary roof shall not be less than eighteen inches (18”) and the
overhang of the secondary roof shall not be less than twelve inches (12”). Any overhang
less than twelve inches (12”) will not be accepted.
Roof materials may include concrete, slate, limited decorative, pre-treated rusted
corrugated metal, and a pre-approved premium-grade high-profile architectural asphalt
shingle. Roof colors are to be chosen carefully from a palette of colors found in the natural
existing surrounding environment, including earth tones and plant materials.
The use of metal roofs should be limited and should act as an architecturally-designed
feature of the structure. Full metal roofs will not be acceptable or permitted by the ARC.
Roof flashing and drip edge flashing shall be constructed of durable material such as copper
(dull finish, not reflective), which will weather to colors that blend with roofs and walls. If
metal flashing and drip edge is used it should match the color of the roof.
Examples of acceptable roof lines
F. Garages
Garages must be carefully integrated into the overall design of the structure. Doors should
be screened from the public view, including common areas and trails whenever possible,
and incorporation into the larger massing of the structure is encouraged. Covered porches
and recessed wall areas are encouraged to better form an integrated design. Side-loaded
access to garages is preferred. Wood veneer and cladding shall be used in the design of all
garage doors. Metal painted doors will not be acceptable.
Page 20 of 41
Garage Door Treatments
G. Building Walls and Materials
Walls should convey a sense of architectural craftsmanship, quality, and structural integrity
and lend their function as the base or foundation of the structure. A scaled order is
necessary to convey this structural integrity – larger, more substantial at the base and
smaller, lighter, with considerable detailing towards the roof eaves is preferable.
Natural siding materials may consist of timber,
logs, wood shingles, board and batten, and
wood plank. All wood siding should be treated
with protective preservatives, clear or semitransparent
stains, or pigment stains, but shall
not be painted.
If a majority of the exterior wall surface of a
structure consists of logs, such logs shall be full
length, not less than ten inches (10”) in
diameter and must be peeled or non-peeled, but
shall not be pre-manufactured or uniform in
appearance. All logs or log siding shall be scribed or chinked.
Natural stone is preferred on the exterior of structures but manufactured stone is allowed.
Examples of stone types are Bachelor Gulch Moss Rock, Colorado Moss Rock, natural river
rock, and fieldstone but not limited to these. At least twenty-five percent (25%) of the
exterior wall surface of each structure shall be covered in rock, stone or approved
simulated stone or rock.
The structure for both wall and pillars should set on a “base” or “pedestal” of stone no
smaller than thirty-six (36”) inches in height and should appear to hold up the structure.
This base should incorporate a cap stone detail where there is a transition in material.
Masonry joints shall be raked clean, but held to a maximum depth of one inch (1”). A stone
mock-up of at least four feet by eight feet (4’-0” x 8’-0”) is required and must be approved
by the ARC or a representative of the ARC prior to commencing the stone installation.
Page 21 of 41
Rock Treatment
The use of hand-troweled stucco or similar cementitious materials may be approved, but
must be specifically reviewed by the ARC and shall not cover more than twenty-five percent
(25%) of the structure’s wall surface. If stucco is approved by the ARC, close attention
shall be given to the detail designs and architectural elements with adjacent building
materials. Foundation walls shall not be exposed more than twelve inches (12”). All
foundation walls must be integrally designed with the structure in order to blend as an
integral part of the design. It is preferred that natural stone or rock foundation facing or
veneer is used to integrate the structure to a sloping grade. It is also preferred that there is
no visible break or reveal at the wall surface/foundation wall seam.
Chimney caps shall be finished in a manner that architecturally ties it to
the structure. Stone used in the foundation and base of the building
should be carried through to the chimney and should be designed in
proportion to the structure. Rooftop equipment and large vents shall
be grouped together and concealed in chimney-like structures that are
an integral part of the roof design and/or placed on the rear facing elevation of the roof.
No unenclosed flues are permitted.
Chimney & Cap Examples
H. Color
Colors on all exterior surfaces shall include a limited range of natural wood tones ranging
from brown, ochre, gray, green, and rust red; rust red, however, may only be used as an
accent color and will require the approval of the ARC. Color hues shall be dark enough to
Page 22 of 41
blend in, shall be in quiet harmony with the site, and should replicate the hues of the
surrounding landscape. All color selections shall be reviewed and approved by the ARC at
the time of Final Design Review. Transparent stains and semi-transparent stains are
preferable along with natural finishes to convey the hand-made feel and to blend the
building in to the existing forest.
I. Windows and Doors
Windows and doors offer a design opportunity to reinforce the structure’s scale and to add
interest to individual homes. Rustic ranch-style patterns should be used when placing
windows and when determining scale. Windows should be consistent with the overall
architectural style of the structural form of the house and should be consistently treated on
all sides of the building. Large windows are generally discouraged, but if used they shall be
in covered areas, recessed, and shaded to avoid glare. Windows and the trim of windows
shall be reviewed and approved by the ARC. Mirrored or reflective windows are not
permitted. Vinyl-clad windows are not permitted. Cladding of door and window casings
shall be in wood or metal, and shall be colored to match the architectural character of the
structure. Lintels and sills made of timber or stone should be used on all windows to convey
the architectural design.
Wood & Window Treatments
Page 23 of 41
J. Equipment and Accessories
Accessories such as shutters, shades, or screens must be an integral part of the
architectural design. Details and material samples of these accessories must be submitted
at the time of Final Design Review and shall be approved by the ARC.
All exterior equipment (i.e. gas meters, electrical meters, air conditioners) shall be
screened from public view, including common areas and trails as an integral part of the
architectural design and is subject to approval by the ARC at the time of Final Design
Review.
Roof-top equipment such as plumbing stacks should be grouped and placed on the
rearfacing elevation of the roof. Any such equipment shall be painted to match the roof
they are installed on. Metal roof vents, if used, must also be painted to match adjacent
roofing.
Snow fence, snow clips, or diverters are required on shedding roofs over pedestrian areas,
shall be integral to the design of the roof, and can be decorative in nature.
Skylights, when approved by the ARC at the time of Final Design Review, shall be located
and detailed so that they are screened to prevent reflections from their surfaces from other
properties. The ARC shall review skylights on a case-by-case basis.
When gutters and downspouts are used, they should be constructed of non-reflective
copper, terne metal, or corten steel, or a similar material that will weather to blend with
the character of the structure. Careful placement of gutters should be considered to avoid
water, ice, and snow damming. Aluminum and galvanized materials are discouraged and
shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Only one solid-fuel burning appliance or device meeting the requirements of the town of
Winter Park is permitted.
K. Fire Sprinklers
Fire prevention systems are not required at Bridger’s Cache but are strongly recommended.
Emergency service will be provided from East Grand County Fire Protection District; due
to the remote location of the community, however, a large loss-prevention sprinkler system
is recommended. If a prevention system is used, a monitoring alarm system designed to
detect the flow of the sprinkler system and monitored by a private company is required.
L. Security Systems
Security systems are not required in Bridger’s Cache but if installed, they must be
monitored. Notification must be made to on-site management of an installed security
system.
VI. LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
The intent of the Bridger’s Cache Landscape Design Guidelines is to reinforce the
integration of the homes with the natural forest setting of the environment. In order to
achieve this, plant designs shall consist of materials indigenous to the area or compatible to
Page 24 of 41
the surrounding climate and geographical qualities of the mountain environment. Care is
required during construction so that only minimal natural areas require revegetation and
planting after disturbance.
A. Landscaping
Landscaping around buildings shall be completed only in
accordance with a landscaping plan approved by the ARC at
the time of Final Design Review. Water-efficient landscaping
is required except to the extent otherwise permitted by the
rules and regulations of the Winter Park Water and Sanitation
District. Irrigated areas shall be limited to entry and yard
locations adjacent to buildings and kept to a minimum area to
limit water consumption. In no case shall irrigated areas
exceed one thousand (1,000) square feet per lot. Within this
area, the installation of turf (grass) shall be kept to a minimum
and should only be used for accent or border purposes. The
ARC specifically reserves the right to disapprove any landscape plan, which proposes to
install irrigated turf within any Lot’s permitted areas.
B. Landscape Grading Requirements
The Owner is required to maintain the natural features and grading of the lot and its
natural drainage features. Each Owner is also responsible for any fine grading around the
structure and Building Envelope required due to berming, installation of retaining walls, and
drainage features, and otherwise in connection with fulfilling the landscaping requirements
of the Owner’s approved site plan. Consideration must be made for other lots, trails and
wetlands.
Page 25 of 41
C. Planting Requirements
New trees and shrub plantings
are to be a mix of sizes that will
blend into the natural existing
mountain environment.
Deciduous trees should include
a mix of fifty percent (50%)
with a minimum two-inch (2”)
caliper and fifty percent (50%)
with a minimum four-inch (4”)
caliper. Evergreen trees should
include a mix of fifty percent
(50%) with a minimum eightfoot
(8’-0”) height and fifty percent (50%) with a minimum twelve-foot (12’-0”) height. The
use of large specimen trees is encouraged in areas close to structures to aid in blending the
house with the site. Refer to Appendix B (Plant Materials List).
At disturbed areas within and immediately outside the Building Envelope where extensive
reforestation is required, and also in order to provide screening from other homes and
roads from view, a planting mix of smaller trees and shrubs may be used, provided there
are sufficient large, remaining trees in areas that are visible from off the Lot.
Structures should be designed around existing major trees on the Lot. All trees to be
protected during construction shall be marked before any construction begins.
Planting beds are encouraged to screen foundations, utility equipment, trash receptacle
enclosures, to enhance views, control erosion, screen for private outdoor areas, and sun or
wind block. Coble stone is recommended to border planting beds or drainage areas within
planted areas as well as shredded mulch ground covering. A mixture of shrub sizes is
required and should be an integral part of the architectural design. Small and medium
shrubs should be twelve inches (12”) to five feet (5’-0”) tall, five (5) gallon in size, and
generally planted three feet (3’-0”) on center in a natural random matrix. Larger shrubs
should be six feet (6’-0”) to ten feet (10’-0”) tall, five (5) gallon in size or burlapped (or
balled), and generally planted five feet (5’-0”) on center. Shrubs should be planted in
groupings of a natural random matrix rather than linear hedgerows.
Turf or grass areas are permitted, but are discouraged due to their water needs and
unnatural appearance. Mountain grasses should be used as a natural design approach
especially for outdoor living spaces. Use of a high-quality seed mix of native flowers,
indigenous to the mountain environments is highly encouraged. (See Appendix B - Plant
Materials List.)
D. Irrigation
Irrigation systems may be used, but generally only for a limited time to establish newly
planted materials, including flowered areas and approved turf. Owners shall submit
irrigation designs with landscape designs for review and approval by the ARC at the time of
Final Design Review.
Page 26 of 41
E. Landscape Installation Requirements
Landscaping shall be installed within ninety (90) days of receiving Certificate of Occupancy,
weather permitting. Any on-site storage or staging areas of planting material must occur in
the location of material installation. All landscaping shall be maintained to present a natural
forested appearance.
Landscaping
VII. CONSTRUCTION REGULATIONS
Construction may not commence until Final Design Review Approval of all required plans
and drawings has been given in writing from the Architectural Review Committee. In
addition, a site inspection by the ARC, or a representative of the ARC, must take place prior
to commencement of construction. In all events, the Town of Winter Park Building
Department must issue a building permit before any construction activities begin.
Preliminary Design Review Approval granted by the ARC is valid for six (6) months. If the
Final Design Review procedure does not begin within six (6) months from the date of
Preliminary Design Review Approval, all approvals shall expire and applications must be
resubmitted.
Final Design Review Approval granted by the ARC is valid for one (1) year. If construction
does not commence within one (1) year from the date of Final Design Review Approval by
the ARC, all approvals shall expire. In such cases, applications must be resubmitted to the
ARC for their review and approval prior to initiating any construction activities, including
site preparation.
The entire exterior of any building shall be completed within twelve (12) months from
issuance of a building permit therefore, subject to extensions approved by the Town of
Winter Park and the ARC. In the event there is a violation of this requirement, or if
construction is abandoned for a period in excess of one hundred twenty (120) days, the
ARC may recommend a specific fine assessment to the Bridger’s Cache Owner’s Association
Board of Directors in an amount not less than $100 per day. The only defense shall be that
the failure to complete construction on a timely basis, or the abandonment, was caused by
a circumstance beyond the Owner's control.
A. Pre-Construction Conference
In order to ensure close coordination and cooperation during the construction process, a
meeting with a representative of the ARC, Owner and the designated Owner’s builder is
required to review construction procedures and requirements prior to the start of
construction. Each Owner and Builder is responsible for the actions of all subcontractors
and personnel related to their specific project.
Page 27 of 41
Each Owner is required to submit a Performance Deposit as outlined in Section III. Design
Review Procedures, Item G. Design Review Fees, Performance, Revegetation/Repair and
Landscape Deposits. In addition to the building permit issued from the Town of Winter
Park, a Bridger’s Cache letter to proceed shall be issued and posted on-site before
construction begins.
A. Tree Removal
Additional selective clearing of trees in Building Envelopes, on Lots and on the Common
Elements for completion of site improvements and/or providing views from a Building
Envelope, shall be permitted only upon submittal of a clearing plan to, and approval by, the
ARC and the Town of Winter Park. Any proposed tree removal plan shall also be subject to
compliance with any wildfire mitigation plan or granted variance adopted by the Town of
Winter Park, Colorado from time-to-time, and shall give proper consideration to the privacy
of adjacent Owners and views. There shall be a minimum of tree removal permitted along
driveways and in areas open to view.
Other than trees which may be removed by the Declarant pursuant to this section, those
trees proposed to be removed shall be marked with bright red survey tape at the time of
submittal of the clearing plan, allowing thirty (30) days for inspection by the ARC and the
Town of Winter Park. Marked trees need to have their dead branches removed first for view
clearing. The ARC shall have thirty (30) days from the acknowledged date of receipt of the
request to give written approval of the clearing plan and to confirm with spray paint
markers which trees may be removed. Any ARC approval does not eliminate the
requirement that Town of Winter Park approval is also required prior to undertaking any
tree clearing or removal.
Request for ARC approval of a clearing plan shall be submitted at the time Final Design
Review drawings are submitted to the ARC for review and approval. The ARC shall require
revegetation and screen plantings in cleared areas as part of an approved plan. Any trees
removed without ARC approval as either part of the building plans or a clearing plan shall
be in violation of the Declaration and, in addition to any Town of Winter Park fines and
penalties, the Owner of any Lot that is in violation shall be subject to assessment by the
Bridger’s Cache Board for the sum of $5,000 for each tree destroyed. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, Owners may remove dead and diseased trees, brush, or lifeless limbs
without ARC approval. When notified in writing by the ARC of diseased vegetation or
trees, fallen trees or trees damaged by natural causes, an Owner shall remove such within
a reasonable time and at the Owner's expense. If an Owner fails to comply, the Board or
the ARC may remove or cause such trees to be removed, and charge the Owner for the
cost as a Specific Assessment as outlined in the Declaration.
B. Inspections
In addition to inspections required by the Town of Winter Park Planning Department and
Building Department, the ARC requires several inspections which may be completed
without notice to Owners. A minimum five (5) business days notice should be given to
request an inspection from the ARC.
Page 28 of 41
Site Inspections are conducted to verify location of center of the Building Envelope, building
corners, cut-and-fill areas, trees to be removed, and protected vegetation. This site
inspection shall be completed before the commencement of any construction activities.
Temporary Certificate of Compliance Inspections ensure that construction activities are
substantially complete and have been performed in compliance with the ARC-approved final
construction documents. Upon approval of this inspection, the ARC will issue a temporary
certificate of compliance.
Final Inspections are conducted to ensure that all required items of the construction
activities, including landscaping and remedial work, are fully completed in accordance with
the approved Final Design Review site plan, construction documents, and landscape plans.
Upon approval of this inspection, the ARC will issue a certificate of compliance and return
the compliance deposit, if applicable.
C. Limits of Construction
LIMITS OF DISTURBANCE SHALL BE INDICATED WITH ORANGE TENSOR (SNOW FENCE)
FENCING AROUND THE ENTIRE BUILDING ENVELOPE FOR PROTECTION OF THE EXISTING
SURROUNDING NATURAL FEATURES AND SHALL REMAIN IN PLACE UNTIL THE OWNER HAS
RECEIVED ITS CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE AT FINAL INSPECTION. ANY DISTURBANCE
OUTSIDE THE BUILDING ENVELOPE SHALL BE REGRADED AND REVEGETATED SO AS TO
RETURN THE DISTURBED AREA TO ITS NATURAL CONDITION.
D. Erosion Control
During construction and landscaping activities, erosion shall be minimized through best
management practices, including, but not limited to, the use of silt fencing, straw bales,
proper soil stabilization, and water management. Erosion control shall occur in compliance
with the site plan approved by the ARC at the time of Final Design Review.
E. Excavation
Extreme care shall be taken during excavation activities so that no damage occurs to trees
or existing vegetation that is not authorized for removal. Excess spoils and other debris
from excavation shall not be placed on other Lots, in roads, or in open space areas and
should be removed from the property as soon as reasonably possible.
F. Noise
Noise from electronic devices may not be heard off-site. Such devices will be prohibited
from the site after one warning. Each contractor shall use all reasonable efforts to minimize
external noise resulting from construction activities. Construction activities shall not be
conducted between the hours 8:00 pm and 7:00 am.
G. Vehicles and Parking Areas
Construction vehicles, heavy equipment, and contractor vehicles shall park in designated
areas only. Parking on a Lot or in open space areas other than the specific site being
worked on is prohibited. No overnight vehicle parking is permitted.
Page 29 of 41
H. Trash Removal
The Builder shall be responsible for maintaining a clean job site and shall clean up debris
and trash at the end of each day and deposit such in a dumpster. Dumpsters shall be
emptied
weekly or on an as-needed basis. There is no burning of any kind allowed on site at
Bridger’s Cache. Violations shall be charged at one hundred and twenty percent (120%) of
the actual costs of material removal and cleaning restoration.
I. Blasting
Each Builder shall notify the ARC, occupants-in-residence in the subdivision, the Town of
Winter Park, East Grand Fire Protection District, The Colorado Arlberg Club, Winter Park
Intrawest and Ironhorse Resort prior to any blasting.
J. Temporary Construction Offices
Construction trailers, jobsite offices and other temporary structures shall be reviewed and
approved by the ARC before placement at Bridger’s Cache.
K. Driveways
The portion of driveway located inside the Building Envelope shall be excavated and a
minimum of three inches (3”) of one-and-one-half inch (1½”) crushed rock shall be placed
to minimize dirt and mud tracked onto paved roads. The driveway shall be maintained
throughout construction activities. The ARC reserves the right to charge for common
roadway clean up if necessary.
L. Material and Equipment Storage
Material stored on-site shall be neatly stacked, covered, and secured to prevent materials
from blowing away. Any storage of material or equipment outside the Building Envelope
shall be done with the prior approval of the ARC only. All material and equipment stored
on-site shall be the responsibility of the Owner and Builder.
M. Smoking and Pets
Smoking is prohibited outside one’s vehicle on any Lot in Bridger’s Cache during
construction unless otherwise prohibited by the Town of Winter Park. Dogs and other pets
shall remain in vehicles at all times. Unleashed or leashed pets on-site are not allowed
under any circumstances.
N. Construction Signs
One temporary construction sign of not more than ten (10) square feet shall be installed
during the construction of a building. The sign should, whenever possible, be located inside
the Lot Boundary. The ARC shall approve any alternate sign locations. Signs shall include
information limited to the address, architects, lenders, builders, subcontractors, and Owner
(if so desired).
O. Builders
No improvements may be constructed on any Lot by any person other than a Builder
approved by the ARC. The ARC will consider applications from any person desiring to
become a Builder. Such applications shall include information as required by the rules and
regulations adopted by the ARC.
Page 30 of 41
All approved Builders will be subject to the oversight, administration, and management of
the ARC or its designated representative, and all Builders shall be responsible for payment
to the ARC of any fees charged for such supervision.
In the event a Builder fails to pay any ARC-required supervision fee within thirty (30) days
of invoice, or if a Builder breaches any other covenant described in these Guidelines, the
ARC may permanently exclude that Builder from the Property after notice and opportunity
for a hearing pursuant to Section 6.12 of the Bylaws.
P. Prohibited Activities
The removal of any trees, topsoil, plants, or rocks from outside the Building Envelope is
strictly prohibited unless approved by the ARC via the clearing plan. No hunting or
discharging of a firearm of any sort is permitted at Bridger’s Cache. No washout of concrete
trucks, chutes, or equipment is permitted outside the Building Envelope. Violations of any
prohibited activities shall be charged at one-hundred-and-twenty percent (120%) of the
actual cost of clean-up required.
