Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on June 27, 2023 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Madison Street and N. 2nd Street per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A four-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed along both streets as part of future building permits. A building permit has not yet been submitted and any variance approved will expire in 2 years if work isn’t completed in 2 years. Madison Street is a paved street with curb & gutter and sidewalk in Lemmon Avenue. North 2nd Street is a gravel street without curb & gutter. There are no apparent topographic constraints and sidewalk exists in Lemmon Avenue and North Street to connect the required sidewalk to. Staff recommends this request be denied.
