Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on September 1, 2017 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along US Hwy 16 / Mt Rushmore Rd per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 5’ wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along US Hwy 16 / Mt Rushmore Rd at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 435’ of frontage. The requested variance will allow for the construction of a commercial building, without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. Adjacent US Hwy 16 / Mt Rushmore Rd is a four-lane divided arterial street with no sidewalk and has a rural street pavement section with ditches to accommodate drainage. In recent years, the City Council has granted sidewalk variances to multiple other properties developing along the east side of this road. Sidewalk does exist in adjacent Moon Meadows Drive. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time, should sidewalk in this area become necessary.
