||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A request was received from Ferber Engineering on the behalf of Black Hills Corporation to waive the requirement to install sidewalk on both sides of proposed Energy Park Drive as required by City Ordinance 12.08.060. Per Ordinance, sidewalk is required to be installed on both sides of any City Street. The proposed Black Hills Corporation Headquarters expansion includes realignment and construction of the existing Highway 16 frontage road through the campus site. The proposed street construction includes installation of a 10’ wide shared pedestrian and bike path along the south side of Energy Park Drive as well as a 8’ wide sidewalk along the south side of Catron Boulevard and the west side of Highway 16. Both the 10’ shared path and 8’ sidewalk will extend across the site from the intersection of Catron Boulevard and Les Hollers Way to the tie-in to the existing frontage road in the Highway 16 ROW at the southeast corner of the headquarters site. Per the Applicant’s site improvements plan, the areas north and south of the proposed street will be paved parking lots to serve the headquarters building. |
