Agenda Item Summary:
The City recently received a request from Pat Tlustos for a Variance to waive the requirement to install sidewalk along Founders Park Drive adjacent to the southern portion of Lot 9 Founders Park Subdivision (326 Founders Park Drive). The Founders Park Development, including the noted property, was granted a subdivision variance, (06SV046, approved 8.21.06), to only install sidewalk on the west side of Founders Park Drive. In April 2017, Lot 9 was platted, and in accordance with RCMC 12.08.060, sidewalk was required along the entire frontage of Founders Park Drive. The applicant is proposing to install app. 130 linear feet of sidewalk on the northern portion of Lot 9 and requested to not install sidewalk south of the driveway into Lot 9. Sidewalk has been installed along the west side of Founders Park Drive, and the Development has provided a secured pedestrian corridor within the parking areas and building accesses on the east side of the street. Installation of the northern portion of sidewalk along Founders Park Drive and internal sidewalk, as indicated in the attached site sketch, will connect the existing street sidewalk on north Founders Park Drive to the existing corridor within the existing development.
