Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on October 22, 2018 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Alta Vista Drive and City View Drive per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Alta Vista Drive and City View Drive at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 105 feet of frontage along Alta Vista Drive and 88 feet along City View Drive. The requested variance will allow for construction of a single family home on the property without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent Alta Vista Drive and City View Drive rights-of-way. Adjacent Alta Vista Drive and City View Drive are two lane local streets with sidewalk on opposite side of the streets. There is one option for sidewalk; install five-foot wide curbside sidewalk. Given that there is no sidewalk on this side of either streets, and that this is the last lot to be built on, it seems reasonable to allow a variance to the sidewalk requirement. Public Works recommends approval of the sidewalk variance request. The Rapid City Council has the authority to order in sidewalk at any time, should sidewalk in this area become necessary.
