Sustainable Land Development Today - November/December 2008 - (Page 15) impact development and sustainable principles while providing residents with a truly unique living experience. The vision was created to take advantage of a beautiful property situated on the northern edge of an area containing remnant populations of old growth forest. This valuable resource would not only be preserved and contribute to higher property values, it would create an identifiable character in combination with the gently rolling terrain and panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. To make such a vision a reality, according to Morton, you have to have the support of upper management and a staff that “gets it.” “The vision is only as good as the people who try to implement it,” he said. “To this day, when I go out there and I see something that doesn’t look right, my guys can tell you that they hear from me to go back and look to see if they executed that correctly.” That doesn’t mean that the project is exactly what was on the drawing board back in 1999. Some of the amenities, such as the library, police and fire buildings were not there early on and what was considered a best management practice a decade ago may not be on the list a decade later. “Plans change because times change, but if you have that strong vision, you can test it. You can make decisions on whether they are going to fit. But you can’t modify the vision. That would be like changing your ethics,” Morton said. “We have tested the vision and the end speaks for itself. We have a great project that people want to be a part of.” SLDT About the author: Rob Kundert is senior editor of Sustainable Land Development Today.
