Agenda Item Summary:
Per 16.16.050 of the RCMC, the developer is responsible for installation of all corner ramps. As part of the Development Engineering Plan approval for Red Rock Shadows Subdivision in 2021, Paradigm Construction is required to install corner ramps at the west leg of the Portrush/Melbourne intersection. The construction of Melbourne Court by the developer results in a 4-way intersection and sidewalk ramps are required on all legs of the intersection. The approved construction plans from 2021 include the installation of the required ramps. The developer is now asking to have the requirement to install the corner ramps be waived. With sidewalks along the west side of Melbourne/Ainsdale Court on both sides of Portrush Road, the ramps are required for accessibility.
