Agenda Title: |
|||
|
Appeal of Denial of Request for an Exception from FMG, Inc. for GWH Properties, LLC to Allow a 10’ Pedestrian and Utility Easement to be granted in lieu of dedicating an additional 10’ of Right-of-Way on the South Side of Minnesota Street, and allow the 8’ wide minor drainage and utility easement to be located within the Pedestrian and Utility Easement, Lot 2 of Block 2 of Minnesota Park Subdivision, Section 13, T1N, R7E, BHM, Rapid City, Pennington County, South Dakota. |
|||
|
Summary: |
|||
|
The applicant is proposing to subdivide existing Lot 2 of Blk 2 of Minnesota Park Subdivision that has frontage along Minnesota Street, a minor arterial street, requiring 100’ of dedicated right-of-way per IDCM Figure 2-1. Minnesota Street exists today in 80’ of dedicated right-of-way adjacent to the proposed plat. An additional 10’ of right-of-way is required from the proposed plat. The additional right-of-way width may be needed in the future to accommodate additional pavement width and/or utilities. |

Recommendation: |
|||
|
Action: Staff recommends to uphold the denial of the request. Notes: Staff is in support of the property owner dedicating a 10’ pedestrian and utility easement in lieu of 10’ of additional right-of-way, consistent with what has been done on previous plats along this portion of Minnesota Street. However, if the pavement is widened, public improvements would be located within the 10’ pedestrian and utility easement, essentially serving as right-of-way, and a corridor for private utility companies is needed outside of pedestrian and utility easement. It is important to maintain a separate corridor for private utilities (MDU, BHP, etc.) to be located that is not in conflict with the corridor for public utilities (City water, City sewer, City storm sewer). Staff would support the dedication of a 10’ pedestrian and utility easement along with the dedication of an 8’ minor drainage and utility easement adjacent; however the request as presented cannot be supported. |
