§ 50-31. Existing sidewalks.

(a)

For any land or building development where sidewalks are required as outlined in section 50-30, and there is an existing sidewalk along the road or street frontage, an inspection of the sidewalk is made by the director of the department of public works or his agent. If the inspection shows the sidewalk is deficient or does not exist along the entire frontage, the owner must construct or repair the sidewalk to current design specifications including material revisions, such as concrete to brick, as required by the director of the department of public works.

(b)

The property owner is required to maintain the sidewalk along the entire lot frontage by maintaining the grass or landscaping installed between the sidewalk and the edge or curb of the roadway. This section applies to newly created sidewalks.

(c)

No person is permitted to erect any drain, gutter, downspout, valley, flat, or sloping roof of any character that will in any manner drain or shed water on any sidewalk of this city.
