Progress

Follow the build.

Before anything is approved, the most useful thing we can show you is an honest record. This is it: every step from bare land to Phase 1, marked as it happens, with a dated field note and photos from the same three points each month.

Last updated

Updated monthly. If a month goes by with no news, the note will say so.

The approval path

Nine steps, from bare land to Phase 1.

  • Done
  • In progress
  • Not started
  1. Title & legal survey

    Order current title for SE 29-23-24-W4, read every instrument registered against it, and commission a legal survey of the parcel and its shoreline.

    Status: In progress

  2. Wheatland County pre-application meeting

    Confirm how the Eagle Lake Area Structure Plan applies here: how titled RV lots are counted, where the shoreline reserve and park fall, and what a first phase can look like.

    Status: Not started

  3. WID discussions

    Work through the outlet channel and its WID control gate along the east edge, water supply, and the lake's role as a Western Irrigation District reservoir.

    Status: Not started

  4. Environmental & heritage screening

    A Phase I environmental site assessment and a historic resources screening of the parcel.

    Status: Not started

  5. Concept / outline plan submitted

    Our plan for the whole parcel goes to the County for review. We'll post what we submitted.

    Status: Not started

  6. Studies: HRIA, shoreline, stormwater, servicing, traffic

    A Historical Resource Impact Assessment, a shoreline rehabilitation strategy by a certified biologist, a stormwater plan, water and wastewater servicing design, and a traffic study.

  7. Land-use redesignation & subdivision approval

    The County decides on zoning and on dividing the land into titled lots. This is where the final lot count is set.

    Status: Not started

  8. Servicing construction

    Roads, water, wastewater and power go in. This is when you'll see machines on site.

    Status: Not started

Where it starts.

This is the first entry. There isn't much to see yet, and we want you to see that too.

The site is 63.5 acres of prairie on the south shore of Eagle Lake, in Wheatland County. A county road runs along the south edge and the lake lies to the north. Nothing is built. Nothing is approved.

The first work is paperwork. We're ordering a current title for the parcel, reading every instrument registered against it, and commissioning a legal survey. Then comes a pre-application meeting with Wheatland County, where we find out how the area's rules apply to this land: how lots are counted, where the shoreline park falls, and what a first phase can look like. Those answers set the numbers you'll eventually see on this site.

From October, we'll photograph the site from the same three points every month: the planned entrance, the shoreline and the future Commons. Over time those frames become the record of the build.

We'll post here every month, including the months when the news is that nothing moved.
