88-acre lot that abuts an existing U-Haul property. The intent is for U-Haul to purchase the subject property for future expansion of their existing self-storage location in the M-1 Light Industrial zoning district, which already has City of Williston water and sanitary sewer available along the frontage road. The City Engineer is requiring a 20-foot public utility easement along the northern boundary to reroute stormwater conveyance to the NDDOT right-of-way and drainage swale, and the Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the short plat.This indicates U-Haul’s expansion plans are moving forward but specific building/site construction has not yet been detailed, creating an upcoming opportunity for design and construction services focused on self-storage facilities, site work, utilities, and drainage improvements.

Site is already serviced by city utilities; easement requirements suggest stormwater and utility design will be part of future project.
