PROBLEM/ISSUE STATEMENT
The owners of the Stillwater Building located at 316 North 26th Street are constructing a parking garage on the opposite (east) side of North 26th Street. With the construction of the parking garage, the owners would like to construct a pedestrian skyway that connects the garage to the Stillwater Building. Per Billings, Montana City Code, Section 6-900, in order to construct the skyway it is necessary for City Council to approve a resolution authorizing and permitting construction and maintenance. This permit outlines the requirements for the skyway. Attached are plans for the skyway, resolution authorizing the permit, and a copy of the permit.
ALTERNATIVES ANALYZED
City Council may:
- Approve the resolution for the pedestrian skyway, or;
- Disapprove the resolution. If not approved, the owners will not be allowed to construct the pedestrian skyway.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no significant financial impact to the City for approval of the resolution.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council approve the resolution authorizing a permit for construction and maintenance of a pedestrian skyway at 316 N. 26th Street.
