How to create power planes that shorts multiple pins in a footprint

Hi All,

I'm getting a Shape to SMD Pin SpacingDRCerror when trying to add the thermal pad in a footprint.

I'm placing the thermal pad, which shorts two pins, with a Dummy Net at the Etch/Top Class. 

The Footprint I'm trying to create is for the SI7288DP

Attached are the image and the DRA. How can I get this footprint done properly with no DRC's?

Thanks
