Agenda Item Summary:
On August 9, 2024, the Engineering Office received a request to waive the requirement to install a sidewalk along 900 Concourse Drive, as stated in the City of Rapid City Municipal Code (RCMC) 12.08.060. A five-foot-wide sidewalk is normally required when a building permit is issued. The property has about 700 feet of frontage along Concourse Drive, a two-lane street with ditches for drainage. The requested waiver would allow the construction of a new facility and other site improvements without adding the sidewalk. While Concourse Drive is an urban street with curb and gutter, the ditches and culverts make building a sidewalk difficult. The City Council has approved similar waivers in this area before, and Public Works recommends approving this request.
