Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on March 31, 2020 requesting the
requirement to install sidewalk along East Saint Patrick Street and Pecan Lane per City of Rapid
City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required along East Saint
Patrick Street and a four-foot wide sidewalk is required along Pecan Lane at the time of building
permit. With the property having approximately 142 feet of frontage along East Saint Patrick
Street and 43 feet worth of frontage along Pecan Lane. The city has required properties to build
sidewalk along East Saint Patrick Street recently with Black Hills Exteriors being the most recent
(February 19, 2019). There is an apparent need for sidewalk along East Saint Patrick Street and
that can be seen in the street view images of the worn walking path parallel to the roadway. Staff
agrees that now is not the appropriate time to push for sidewalks along Pecan Lane being a
gravel rural street section.
Public Works staff recommends denial of the sidewalk variance request for East Saint Patrick
Street and approval of the sidewalk variance request for Pecan Lane.
