Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on April 4th,2024 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Fountain Plaza Drive per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A five-foot wide property line sidewalk is required to be constructed along Fountain Plaza Drive at the time of building permit.
There are currently no sidewalks on Fountain Plaza Drive, which is a rural street section with ditches for drainage. Additionally, there appears to be public and private utilities in the ditch section which may impact sidewalk installation at this time. A building permit application will be applied for soon for this parcel, which requires sidewalk installation per ordinance. Public Works concurs with the applicant’s justification and recommends approval of this request.
