Agenda Title:

Approve Request from Jim Steele for a Variance to Waive the Requirement to Install Sidewalk along Sun Ridge Road as it abuts proposed Lot 3 of the S and S Subdivision per City Ordinance 12.08.060.

Summary:

A request was received on the behalf of Jim Steele to waive the requirement to install sidewalk per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.16.080 for the proposed Lot 3 of the S and S Subdivision.  Proposed Lot 3 is located in the NW¼ of the SE¼ of the SE¼ of Section 25, T2N, R6E, north of Nemo Road and app. 1.16 miles from the City limits; and is currently undeveloped and heavily wooded.  Sun Ridge Road is constructed with a chip sealed surface, open ditches and culvert crossing.  At this time, there are no other sidewalks constructed in this area. Until there is additional development, it does not appear that an isolated segment of sidewalk would provide noticeable benefits to the area. 

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

N/A

Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the request to waive the requirement to install sidewalk along the Sun Ridge Road as it abuts proposed Lot 3 be approved contingent on the Applicant providing a Waiver of Right to Protest future sidewalk improvements.Click here to enter text.
