Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on 12/26/17 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Galt Ct per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 5’ property line sidewalk is required to be constructed along the street at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 230’ of street frontage. The requested variance will allow for an industrial building to be built on a currently undeveloped lot without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. Adjacent Galt Ct is an industrial cul-de-sac with 26’ of pavement with curb and gutter. Currently all of the lots on the north side of Galt Ct are developed on and have sidewalk constructed. There is one other vacant lot along Galt Ct on the southwest side of the cul-de-sac that is also void of sidewalk, with sidewalk being required whenever a building permit is obtained for that lot. 2231 Taggart Rd is on the corner of Taggart Rd and Galt Ct is void of any sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. 2231 Taggart Rd obtained a building permit in 2005, before sidewalks were required in industrial areas. Today sidewalk are required in industrial areas. Buildings constructed in this area in recent years have installed sidewalks. There does not appear to be any topographic constraints or utility conflicts that will complicate the installation of sidewalk.
