LANDSCAPE / AESTHETICS

The exterior design of BI&C will include elements that are reminiscent of old Western mining camps as well as inns common to the Alps, especially Bavaria. The exterior architecture will feature a stone base, rustic wood siding, sloping metal roofs, and wood windows with painted shutters and flower boxes. Balconies and trim will echo the design motifs of the existing Bavarian Lodge and Restaurant. All exterior colors will be dark or natural, in keeping with the wilderness that surrounds Kachina Village.

Landscaped areas will be introduced along the perimeter of the parking areas and adjacent to the new facilities. Indigenous plant materials will be used, including diamond lead / plane leaf willow, small-wing sedge, water sedge, shrubby cinquefoil, and other shrubs and herbs native to the region. All other areas that have been disturbed by construction will be reseeded with native grass and wildflower mixes.

All development will conform to the recently adopted Urban Wildfire Interface Code.
