RE: Concurrent Construction Request for Big Sky Benefit Solutions Site Plan Application
To Whom it May Concern,
We are requesting concurrent construction for the Big Sky Benefit Solutions Site Plan project to
allow the construction of the proposed office building to begin prior to the water and sanitary
sewer main infrastructure extensions being installed and accepted by The City. The water and
sanitary sewer services to the proposed office building, and future site development, will be
provided via the proposed water and sewer main extensions within the project.
It should be noted for consideration, that the project site is fronted by Nelson Road to the east to
which a shared access is used to enter the property as well as lot 9 to the north. At this shared
access, there is an existing fire hydrant (#3060) located just south of the drive approach. This
hydrant will be more than adequate to provide any fire services to the project site that may arise
until the proposed hydrant is installed within the project site. The remainder of the surrounding
property is undisturbed farmland and pasture-like greenery.
As described in BMC 38.270.030.C.I, provision of municipal central water distribution,
municipal sanitary sewer collection systems, and streets means that the criteria in either
subsection “a” or subsections “b” and “c” are met. Subsections “b” and “c” outline the following:
(b) “The water mains, sewer mains and streets to be extended to provide service to the
development are: located within a publicly dedicated right-of-way or easement; constructed to
city standards; are physically adjacent to the site proposed for construction; are installed and
accepted by the city; and are adequate in capacity to provide necessary service to the proposed
development; and
(c) “Water mains, sewer mains and streets must meet the following requirements:”
1) Any required on-site extensions of water mains, sewer mains or streets to be
dedicated to the public must be located entirely within publicly held easements or
rights-of-way; must serve only a single lot; are the subject of an irrevocable offer
of dedication to the city upon completion of the project; the development is under
the control of a single developer who must retain control of the entire project until
