RE: Nikles Business Park – Lot 3A of Amended McChesney Industrial Park Subdivision
Master Site Plan Application
Dear Susana:
The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Nikles Drive and Evergreen
Drive. The proposed site improvements will involve construction of two office buildings to be completed
in two phases. A Concept review application has been previously submitted and comments provided
(project number 21263).
The Phase 1 Site Plan and Master Site Plan applications will be submitted concurrently. A separate site
plan application will be submitted for the Phase 2 development at the time of development. Development
of the second structure is anticipated within the next few years but will depend on market demands and
other related factors. Please see below for our project narrative and additional information related to
project phasing.
Project Narrative:
The proposed site improvements involve the construction of two office buildings. The site is currently
undeveloped. The improvements are anticipated to be completed in two phases. The first office building
will be constructed near the intersection of Nikles Drive and Evergreen Drive and is intended to provide
office space for Stillwater Hospice. The second structure is set back further in the site and is planned for
permitting and construction within the next few years but will depend upon securing a lease tenant.
Phasing:
The proposed phase 1 improvements include the construction of the parking lot/driveway accesses, the
phase 1 building, sidewalks, and stormwater pond. In general, the only portion of work not completed as
part of the first phase of construction would be the row of parking adjacent to the future phase 2 building
and the future building itself. The proposed sidewalk shown along the front side of the phase 2 building
will be installed as part of the phase 1 improvements to allow access to the dumper encloser. Demolition
may be required for a portion of the sidewalk depending on the sidewalk grades and finished floor
elevation of the phase 2 building.
Structures/Parking:
The two proposed buildings will be used for offices. The phase 1 building (located near the intersection of
Nikles and Evergreen) is approximately 5,180 SF and will provide office space for Stillwater Hospice. The

phase 2 building is currently shown at 3,441 SF. The phase 1 parking improvements will include 15 stalls
(including 1 ADA space), the required minimum is 11. The phase 2 parking improvements will include an
additional 11 stalls (including 1 ADA space) for a total of 26 parking stalls upon full buildout. The total
number of parking spaces required will depend on the area of the second structure. Parking calculations
are provided with the attached plans.
Stormwater:
The stormwater pond and collection/conveyance infrastructure are designed to provide capacity for both
phases of development. Improvements related to phase 2 of the development (building size and parking
configuration) were assumed for stormwater calculations and are approximate. The stormwater
infrastructure will be reevaluated for capacity requirements when the phase 2 development occurs;
however, we do not anticipate significant changes from the current layout.
Utilities:
We anticipate that the water and sewer services for both the phase 1 and phase 2 buildings will be
extended as part of the phase 1 improvements to avoid cutting the parking improvements associated with
phase 1.
Following the approval of the master site plan, sequential individual site plans for specific areas within the
master site plan will be submitted to the department. We acknowledge that each subsequent application
must be consistent with the approved master site plan and is subject to review criteria of Section
38.230.100.A, BMC. If subsequent site plan applications are not consistent with the approved master site
plan, a modification to the master site plan will be submitted.
Sincerely,
