Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on July 5, 2023 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along North Elk Vale and Taggart Roads per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed at the time of building permit along North Elk Vale Road, a two lane with center turn lane Principal Arterial on the City’s Major Street Plan, with the property having approximately 530 feet of frontage. North Elk Vale Road is a rural street section with ditches and no curb & gutter. The requested variance will allow for the renovation of an existing building and site improvements on the property without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. There are no sidewalks present in North Elk Vale Road. Taggart Road is a two lane commercial street with an urban section with curb & gutter, with the property having approximately 530 feet of frontage. There is existing sidewalk north of the property on Taggart Road at the intersection with Seger Drive. There is also sidewalk in nearby Galt Court just northwest of the property.
There is one option for sidewalk, install five-foot wide sidewalk one-foot inside the right-of-way from the property line. Public Works recommends approval of the sidewalk variance request for North Elk Vale Road and denying the sidewalk variance request for Taggart Road.
