Home Depot in Summit County Colorado?

For months and even years Summit County Colorado residences have heard a rummer that Home Depot was coming to town. First we heard they bought a parcel of land off of the I-70 next to the Blue River. Then that was down played as an investmentby a subsidiary. Now we can confirm Home Depot is coming.

Home Depot submitted a formal application to the Town of Silverthorne on Wednesday to build a 100,000-square-foot store on South Adams Avenue

Most of the development packet was turned into Silverthorne's planning department on Wednesday; however, some issues surrounding wetlands mitigation.

Silverthorne town manager Kevin Batchelder said the town has 10 days to review the application for completion and respond to developers.

The retail chain purchased two vacant lots totaling 9.7 acres in September and, last month, confirmed its intention to build a big box on the site, which is located along the Blue River between the CDOT maintenance property and Interstate 70.

Home Depot is a use-by-right on the land, which is already zoned commercial.
A third lot across Adams Avenue, which is used to store heavy equipment, will eventually be commercially developed as well although no tenants have been determined, Ciletti said.

The proposed size of the home improvement store would be slightly scaled back from a Home Depot in a metro area, and would measure a bit smaller than the Target, which is about 118,000 square feet. The plans call for the storefront to face Interstate 70 and the building's back to border CDOT's property.

The design will be similar to what was proposed in Frisco two years ago with neutral colors and timber and stone accents. No Orange except for the sign.

I for one am glad being a resident of Silverthorne It is exciting to see us continue to grow and have access to big city amenities but still have that mountain small town feel.
