(a) Sidewalks. All sidewalks shall comply with the following regulations:
(1) Sidewalks are required to be constructed on both sides of a street in all subdivisions. Sidewalks are also required in front of all structures built in a residential, office, commercial or industrial zoning district.
(2) The following sidewalk pavement design standards are required;
A. Five feet for a subdivision/development in an R-1 or R-2 Single-Family Residential District and in an industrial district.
B. Five feet for an R-3, commercial or office district subdivision/development.
(3) Sidewalks are to be constructed at the time of completion of the residential, office, commercial or industrial structure on the premises and prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit. If inclement weather or other conditions makes it impossible or impractical to construct sidewalks at the time of completion of the major improvements, the Building Inspector may, at his or her discretion, issue an occupancy permit.
(4) Existing streets without sidewalks shall be subject to the installation of sidewalks when 75% of front-footage fronting on the street is developed. Only that side of the street which meets this criterion shall be required to install sidewalks. The length to be considered shall be from one discernible point, such as a street end, street intersection, bridge or other land feature, to another such point. Priority shall be given to streets providing pedestrian access to schools, churches, libraries, parks and other public buildings.
(5) Parcels exceeding 200 feet in frontage and used solely for agriculture shall be exempt from this regulation. However, such frontage shall be included in the percentage calculation noted above.
(6) Other nonresidential uses in residential districts shall be subject to this regulation.
(b) Walking Paths and Trails.
(1) Walking paths and trails may be required to be installed or land may be required to be set aside for the future development of a walking path or trail when improvements are located in an area where there is a planned walking path or trail as shown on the City Zoning Map, dated August of 1999.
(2) Walking paths and trails shall be eight feet in width.
(c) Bicycle Paths. The construction of bicycle paths shall comply with the City Construction Standards.
