Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on May 23, 2018 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Berglund Road per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 4’ wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Berglund Road at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 180’ of frontage. The requested variance will allow for the construction of a single family residential house, without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent access easement known as Berglund Road. Adjacent Berglund Road is a lane/place residential street serving 7 residential lots, located within an access easement and as a rural pavement section with ditches to accommodate drainage. Berglund Road serves a developed residential area with all but 2 lots developed (without sidewalk), with the road not graded for sidewalk installation. A connected sidewalk corridor is unlikely unless the City Council should order in sidewalk for the street as future building permits are not anticipated as adjacent lots are already built on. The nearest sidewalk is located across US Hwy 16 on Tablerock Road approximately ½ mile away. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time, should sidewalk in this area become necessary.
