Timberline Storage Planning Objectives:
The site plan:
Timberline Storage is a mixed use commercial development in the Spring Creek Center PUD. The
project consists of conditioned and unconditioned storage units, a small office and a future building (use
yet to be decided). Vehicular access will be provided by an existing private drive in the Spring Creek
Center. Vehicular access to the storage units will be controlled by two gates, one in and one out.
Pedestrian access will be provided from Midpoint Drive and travels north to the existing sidewalk on the
north side of the private drive. Two crosswalks have been provided.
The project will include approximately 26,000 square feet of conditioned storage units, 54,000 square feet
of unconditioned storage units, and a small office associated with the storage unit development. Building
A (the building that contains an office and conditioned units) and Building I will have a tower element for
architectural variety and added street presence. The unconditioned units are arranged around the perimeter
of the site to aid in security and to provide a visual buffer into the site. A landscape buffer will be
provided around the storage units to screen the site. The landscape buffer will also blend the project into
the context of the existing development. Varying mulch types and plant heights will give additional
texture and interest to the landscape buffer. Fencing will connect the unconditioned units to provide
security. A 4,700 square foot building footprint is also included for future development with an unnamed
use at this point. Overall, the project will have approximately eight parking spaces associated with the
storage facility and twenty-two associated with the future building.
The property has already been entitled through a PDP review as part of the Spring Creek Center PUD.
This project will replat lots six and seven of the Spring Creek Center PUD and vacate various access and
drainage easements that were associated with the original PDP. Based on conversations with the City, the
development approval is a major amendment.
Utilities and storm water:
Existing water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure will generally be preserved in-place. Existing
easements benefitting said wet utilities will be preserved and/or rededicated to serve the original purpose
in conjunction with revised access and utility concepts associated with this development
proposal. Stormwater discharge will be governed by the rates allowed with previous development.
