Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on 7/10/17 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Creek Drive per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 5’ sidewalk is required to be constructed along Creek Drive at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 260’ of frontage along Creek Drive. The requested variance will allow for the construction of an industrial building, without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. Adjacent Creek Drive is an arterial street with no sidewalk on the east side of the road, the same side as the building, and has a rural street section with slight ditches to accommodate drainage. The west side of Creek Drive in this area has an 8’ bike path. On October 7, 2013 the City Council approved of a sidewalk variance for this property when a different use was proposed. Since that time, the property has been re-platted and a new use proposed, thus requiring a new sidewalk variance. Minor grading is necessary to accommodate the sidewalk installation. The building permit approved on this property in November 2016 showed the construction of public sidewalk in Creek Drive, however, the property owner does not desire to construct it. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time, should sidewalk in this area become necessary.
