Public Works Committee Meeting Date: 4/1/2014

City Council Meeting Date: 4/7/2014

Staff Contact: Nicole Lecy, Project Engineer

Petitioner: Hermanson Egge Engineering for Rapid Ventures

Location: 2425 East St. Charles Street, located east of the Sedivy Ln and East St. Charles Street intersection

 

Agenda Title:

Approve with the Requirement of a Waiver of Right to Protest (WORP) a Request from Hermanson Egge Engineering for a Variance to Waive the Requirement to Install Sidewalk per City Ordinance 12.08.060 along East Saint Charles Street for the Property Located at 2425 East Saint Charles Street – Lots C & D of Tract A of SE1/4SE1/4, Section 5, T1N, R8E, BHM, Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota.

Summary:

A request was received in the Public Works Office on March 26, 2014 requesting the requirement to install sidewalk per City of Rapid City Ordinance 12.08.060 be waived. A 5 foot sidewalk is required to be constructed one foot from the property line along East St. Charles Street. The requested variance will allow an industrial building addition to be constructed on the referenced lot without the installation of sidewalk in the adjacent right-of-way. The adjacent street is constructed as a rural pavement section with no curb and gutter, utilizing ditches for drainage. The closest sidewalks to this property are sidewalks located at the intersection of Sedivy Ln and East St. Patrick Street, approximately 1200’ to the southwest. It is anticipated if this street is reconstructed in the future to an urban street section with curb and gutter installed, and the drainage ditches removed, sidewalk would be installed at that time.
