Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on December 30, 2019 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Deadwood Avenue per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Deadwood Avenue, at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 344.8 feet of frontage along Deadwood Avenue. Deadwood Avenue has been identified as per the Rapid City Community Walk Audit of 2014 as a corridor that is in need of sidewalk. There are worn paths along the edge of the road where people have worn the grass away from walking. At this time there is no sidewalk between I-90 and West Chicago, however there are a few properties that are redeveloping and have plans to install sidewalk as well. There are no physical hardships that are preventing the property to install the sidewalk. Public Works staff recommends denial of the sidewalk variance request.
