Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on October 1, 2018 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Seger Drive per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Seger Drive at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 205 feet of frontage along Seger Drive. The requested variance will allow for construction of light industrial zoned lot on the property without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent Seger Drive right-of-way. Adjacent Seger Drive is a two lane collector street with curb and gutter and void of sidewalk. There are several developed properties in the vicinity of the property along Seger Drive and Dakota Craft Drive that are also void of sidewalk. The property has an urban street section and topography to support the installation of sidewalk. There is one option for sidewalk; install five-foot wide sidewalk one foot inside the right-of-way. Public Works recommends denial of the sidewalk variance request. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time.
