FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request for a waiver of a sidewalk
FILE: 805-OB
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends approval.
Wallace Wilson, P.E., representing Creekwood Baptist Church, has
applied for a waiver of the sidewalk requirement along the east side of
Keith Rd. The property is located at the northeast corner of Keith
and Hwy. 105.
Creekwood Baptist Church is building a sanctuary and as part of the
building permit process, sidewalks are required along both streets.
Hwy. 105 is a major arterial and Keith Rd. is a secondary arterial. A
sidewalk will be installed along Hwy. 105.
Mr. Wilson states that the existing Keith Rd. right-of-way is
constricted and contains a ditch. The ditch is currently 4' to 5' deep
and has steep slopes which do not allow for the construction of the
sidewalk to meet ADA standards.
The Subdivision Regulations state that the Planning Commission may
grant a waiver to the sidewalk requirement if the applicant can prove
that there is an engineering reason for not installing the sidewalk.
Exhibits are attached.
