1.3 Use and Operation – The project overview is to provide a comprehensive office park similar in nature to
Champions Crossing directly across Kimball. Current market trends show this product to be in high
demand.
Lots 1-6 – Comprised of office-use buildings that will maintain day-time hours consistent with other
typical office locations. For this submittal Lots 1 and 2 will be site planned for approval.
1.4 Phasing Intent – It is the intent of the developer to move forward with construction documents
immediately upon Zoning and Site Plan approval from Council. The entirety of all elements shown on Lot
1 and Lot 2 along with Dean Way road and utilities will be part of the construction package and bidding.
Building 1 and 2 will be constructed as spec buildings. Site plan applications will be submitted on the
remaining buildings as the developer is ready to move on with future construction.
Building 1 is designed to 23,000sf and is parked at a ratio of 4 spaces/100sf. Building 2 is designed to
19,500sf and is parked at a ratio of 4 spaces/100sf. Required p arking for the two lots respectively are 92
spaces and 78 spaces. Provided parking for the two lots respectively are 92 spaces and 79 spaces.
Currently the construction and development of Dean Way and Lots 1 and 2 are underway. Lot 3 is being
proposed for a specific user with a need for approximately 30,000sf of office and production space

approval as each are put under contract.
Lot 3 previously shown on the approved Concept Plan to have a 17,200sf building solely of office space
and 71 parking spaces. The site plan being submitted on lot three shows approximately 30,000sf of which
only half will be utilized for office with the other half being p roduction and storage. Parking shown on the
site plan includes 86 spaces.
Buildings 3,4,5, and 6 will all be constructed simultaneously as Phase 2 of the development. Buildings 3,4,
and 6 will be completed by the EOY 2015, and building 5 will be complet ed end of Q1 2016.
