DISCLAIMER
The following information is intended to be used as a point of reference only as permit requirements may change. Prospective Buyers should always perform their own due diligence. Builders/Lot Buyers are solely responsible for following the County approval process and GPHOWUA Architectural Review procedures.

(7) WHAT ARE THE SETBACKS & NET BUILDING ENVELOPES
- The dimensions identified on the Plat delineate net building envelopes i.e., lot #45 has 49.8 ft of net building frontage & 55.5 ft of net building depth. All home foundations and eaves must be within those net dimensions.
- The legal lot lines extend to the centerline of the road.
- The pins nearest the road identify the Utility right of way easement. The septic tank can be placed along (parallel to the easement line- not in the street utility easement) that easement and must be at least 10 ft from the home foundation as per County septic requirements.
- Front yard setbacks are 5 ft. from the ROW pin (must have 10 ft. of clearance from the side of the septic tank).
- Side yard setbacks are 10 ft.
- Back yard setbacks are 10 ft. on the interior lots and 20 ft. on the perimeter lots.
- Builders are encouraged to complete an encroachment survey through their Title Co prior to pouring the foundation; in order to verify that the structure will not encroach on set backs or utility easements.
(8) ARE BASEMENTS ALLOWED
- Our average static water level is approximately 20 ft. All data from our monitoring wells and underground utility installation suggest that Glacier Point lots could accommodate basements. The County Sanitarian has not placed any restrictions on basements at Glacier Point but it is the ultimate responsibility of the Buyer to determine if their individual lot will accommodate a basement. If a basement is desired we can work with the potential Buyer and make the offer contingent upon digging a test/monitoring pit onsite/lot at the Buyer’s expense.
(9) SEWER & WATER INFO
- Homeowners/Builders are responsible for installing one Level 1 solids tank onsite/on lot. This will require a septic tank placement permit with Lewis & Clark County (approximately $75). Septic tanks may be located within the 20’ back yard utility easement for our perimeter lots on the North, South & West subdivision property lines. Final confirmation and approval of the tank location will be determined by the Lewis and Clark County Health Dept. and is the sole responsibility of the homeowner/builder. For questions contact Frank Preskar @ 406.447.8356.
