On the other hand, they are well wooded and some of the lots have frontage on Little Cottonwood Creek. Since Little Cottonwood offer a few less trees than Alta - Creek has been designated a Approach.

Glacio Park is an enclave of large, expensive homes nestled in the spit of land which separates 9400 southern south and the termination of Wasatch Boulevard. The Pointe at Glacio Park is the eastern most extent of this land and is the last developable acreage of substantial size in the mouth of the canyon. If the older Glacio Park subdivisions are any indication, ownership in the new subdivision will prove a good investment as well as a beautiful place to live. The lots there for between $50,000 and $80,000 dollars with very combination of beauty and approved. control.Each would suit a buyer who wants the glamour and prestige of a big beautiful house in a wild location but who also has pangs of guilt over the development of land in the canyons. All of these subdivisions also have the benefit of being immediately accessible to the highway and only ten minutes from either Snowbird or Alta and five minutes from the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon. I did not get a chance to review the _ restrictive covenants for the other subdivisions, but it is safe to assume they run along the same lines. This sort of control by a developer is standard practice in new, especially expensive, subdivisions. They THESE LOTS SOUND GREAT.....NOW WHAT? Building in these developments offers no particular problem except for the sacro- sanct rule which states that you cannot build on any slope greater than 30%. Careful planning on the part of the subdivider has overcome this and all the lots offer substantial building footprints.

They also want to make sure houses are built in a reasonable amount of time. They don’t want Winnebagos or VW vans per- favorable owner financing. “rambler” residence must have bonus, the distinctly “natural” more pristine future for the sidering what it offers, well worth the price, which ranges from $115,000 to $189,000. The most recent addition (and it seems the last) of the luxury subdivisions to be developed in the Mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon is The Pointe at Glacio Park. Glacio Park is probably a familiar name to locals.
