Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on May 6th, 2019 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Emerson Lane per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along Emerson Lane, at the time of building permit, with the property having approximately 230 feet of frontage along Emerson Lane. The area has pretty well been developed and no sidewalks have been required to be installed. The closest sidewalk is roughly 650+ feet to the north on the north side of Seger Drive. Staff is in agreeance that the time has passed to require a single property to install sidewalk in this development. Council has the ability to request sidewalks be put in at their discretion. The requested variance will allow for construction of a commercial building on the property without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent Emerson Lane right-of-way. Public Works staff recommends approval of the sidewalk variance request.
