Agenda Item Summary:
On August 16, 2024, a request was made to the Engineering Office to waive the requirement for installing a sidewalk along Country Road, as stated in City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060. Normally, a five-foot wide sidewalk must be built along Country Road and Haines Avenue when a building permit is issued. Country Road is a two-lane, paved street without sidewalks and has some challenges due to its layout. Public Works supports granting the sidewalk variance for Country Road. Haines Avenue, on the other hand, is an urban street with existing curbs and gutters and sidewalks that are already in place in some areas. The applicant plans to install sidewalks along Haines Avenue and is not asking for a variance there. Staff recommends approving the request.
