Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on 1/23/19 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along East Saint Patrick Street and Sedivy Lane per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 5’ sidewalk is required to be constructed along East Saint Patrick Street and Sedivy Lane at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 758 feet of frontage along both East Saint Patrick Street and Sedivy Lane. This property currently consists of existing office and cold storage buildings located on a 3.14 acre parcel. This particular property has re-developed several times in the past 15 years and has been vacant for periods of that time as well. No public sidewalk was constructed during any of the previous occupations and uses on this property and there is no connecting sidewalk to the South or East. There is sidewalk to the West along East Saint Patrick Street in front of Open Bible Church.

Origination Recommendation Action:
Reject
Origination Recommendation Notes:
Since the City has required sidewalk to the West along East Saint Patrick Street, and the visible need (worn path) for sidewalk on this specific property, staff recommends the variance request be denied.
