Agenda Item Summary:
A request was received in the Engineering Office on April 23, 2024 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk along Dyess Avenue per City of Rapid City Municipal Code (RCMC) 12.08.060 be waived.
A five-foot wide sidewalk is required to be constructed at the time of building permit along Dyess Avenue, a rural section two lane Commercial street with ditches for drainage, with the property having approximately 700 feet of frontage along Dyess Avenue. The requested variance will allow for constructing a new health care facility without the installation of sidewalk.
Due to the rural street section without curb and gutter, Public Works recommends approval of this request with the following stipulations: 1) Any future building permit applied for on this parcel will be required to install the sidewalk at that time 2) If a future Traffic Impact Study recommends sidewalk on Dyess Avenue, the sidewalk will be required to be installed at that time. It should be noted that Public Works approved an Exception with stipulations to waive improvements to Dyess Avenue on 4/19/24 (24EX004).
