HEI was retained to create a site plan for a proposed new hardware store in Bismarck, ND.
Real North (Ace TrueValue) Hardware
Background
HEI was retained to create a site plan for a proposed new hardware store. The owner had a southern location in the community and was seeking a northern location for business expansion. The selected site was reviewed, and several concept drawings were created to determine how the site could be utilized to its full potential, including creating a minor plat to parcel out three lots from the large existing single lot.
The Project
The site was a great commercial location; however, there were limitations associated with traffic access, topography, storm water master planning, and size to accommodate the proposed building.
HEI’s services included completing a traffic impact study to validate vacating a portion of the non-access line to improve traffic flow into and out of the site; development of alternative concepts to optimize site uses for the hardware store, leasable areas in the main building, and use of remaining property for a viable out lot; compliance with an existing storm water management plan; and construction surveying and staking.
The owner elected to use concrete paving and retaining walls, which simplified provisions for controlling site grading and drainage.
