Agenda Item Summary:
On April 30, 2018 a building permit was issued by the City to construct a five unit strip mall on Eglin Street. The approved plans included a single six inch water service to the building, which needs to be inspected by Public Works. The approved plans indicated the contractor was to contact Public Works to schedule a preconstruction meeting; construction commenced without a preconstruction meeting. In mid-August a City Public Works observer visited the site and observed five individual water services had been installed, which deviated from the approved plans. Rapid City Municipal Code (RCMC) 13.08.300 indicates the supply of water through each separate service must be recorded by 1 meter and remote reading device only, for which only 1 bill will be rendered by the City. Infrastructure Design Criteria Manual (IDCM) Figure 3-7A, Multi-Unit, Single Owner/Parcel also prohibits multiple meters for a single owner parcel. See attached denial letter for RCMC 13.08.300 and attached IDCM Figure 3-7A. The owner would like to have five individual meters. The applicant submitted an Exception Request to Public Works to install five individual water meters in a strip mall under one ownership on September 25, 2018. The Exception Request was denied by Public Works on September 28, 2018; see attached denial letter. On September 28, 2018 the applicant submitted an appeal request. Public Works recommends denial of this request.
