Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on May 4, 2021 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Eglin Street per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Eglin Street, at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 125 feet of frontage along Eglin Street. The requested variance will allow for construction on the property without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent Eglin Street right-of-way. The adjacent Eglin Street is a two lane, paved, rural street section with no sidewalks and no grading in place to put sidewalk. The closest sidewalk is roughly 1100 feet to the east on the opposite side of the road. Staff is recommending approval of the sidewalk variance.
