Agenda Title:

Appeal of Denial of Request for Exception to not construct a portion of Golden Eagle Drive as it abuts proposed Tract 1 of Copper Ridge Subdivision.

 

Summary:

The Applicant has submitted a preliminary subdivision plan to plat the Copper Ridge Apartment tract adjacent to Promise Road and abutting Golden Eagle Drive Section Line Highway ROW and proposed Golden Eagle Drive ROW.  Golden Eagle Drive is identified as a Collector Street on the City’s Major Street Plan. Rapid City Municipal Code 16.08 and 16.16.040 requires the construction of the portion of Golden Eagle Drive abutting this proposed development and adjacent to the proposed Tract 1.  The Applicant has submitted an Exception request to not construct the required Golden Eagle Drive St. street and utility improvements beyond the portion of the street, app. 165 linear feet, needed to access the apartment complex.  This exception request is contrary to RCMC and IDCM requirements, and could not be supported by City Staff.  The denial of the exception request was subsequently appealed by the Applicant.
