Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on 4/19/2016 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Cliff Drive per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 4’ sidewalk is required to be constructed along this street at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 570’ of street frontage. The requested variance will allow for a single family home to be built without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. Adjacent Cliff Drive is a local street with 22’ of pavement with no curb and no gutter and ditches for drainage. Currently Cliff Drive is void of any sidewalk, with the nearest sidewalks located at the intersection of Falls Drive and Crocus Lane, approximately 1800’ to the east. All of the surrounding properties are built on today and sidewalk on adjacent properties does not seem foreseeable in the conceivable future. There is also significant topography constraints that will complicate the installation of sidewalk. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time, should sidewalk in this area become necessary.
