Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on April 9, 2020 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Happy Hollow Street and Horse Creek Road per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A four-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along both frontages, at the time of building permit. The owner is looking to complete an addition on the existing house. The neighborhood has been developed out with no properties in the development having sidewalks. The streets in the Springbrook Acres Subdivision are private and are maintained by the subdivision. The closest sidewalks are located on Nugget Gultch Road which is approximately 0.6 miles away. The property has approximately 266 feet of frontage along the two streets, at this time staff recommends approval of the variance and that if council sees fit for sidewalks in the area that an assessed project should be looked into. Public Works staff recommends approval of the sidewalk variance request.
