905.01 DESTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS PROHIBITED.
No person shall break, cut, remove or destroy any sidewalk for any purpose other than that of immediate repair of defective sidewalks without obtaining an excavation or opening permit as provided in Chapter 903.

905.02 SIDEWALK PROVISION FOR BUILDING PERMIT.
No building permit shall be issued to any applicant for the construction of a new building on any parcel of land in the Municipality unless the plan includes a provision to construct or repair sidewalks when the parcel of land upon which it is proposed to build has no sidewalks or has sidewalks which, in the opinion of the Director of Public Service and Properties are in need of reconstruction.
(Ord. 59-30. Passed 4-7-59.)
905.03 SIDEWALK SPECIFICATIONS AND REGULATIONS.
The minimum specifications for the construction of sidewalks in and upon dedicated thoroughfares in the Municipality shall be as set forth in the following sections.
(Ord. 59-30. Passed 4-7-59.)
905.04 WIDTH OF SIDEWALKS.
Sidewalks which are constructed in and upon dedicated streets in the Municipality shall not be less than five feet in width, except that they shall be constructed to conform in width to existing sidewalks in those portions of streets where some sidewalks have already been constructed.
(Ord. 59-30. Passed 4-7-59.)
905.05 CONFORMITY OF NEW AND EXISTING SIDEWALKS.
The conformity of newly constructed sidewalks with those which have already been installed shall be obtained according to the following rules:
(a) Where a sidewalk is to be constructed throughout the width of an existing lot or sublot or other parcel of land regardless of the length of the newly constructed walk, it shall be constructed as to its width to conform exactly to the width of the existing walks at the termini thereof, provided the widths of existing walks at each terminus of the newly constructed walk are the same and are at least five feet wide at these terminal points.
(b) Where a sidewalk is to be constructed throughout the width of an existing lot or sublot or other parcel of land and the existing sidewalks at either terminus of such newly constructed walk are of different widths, the newly constructed sidewalk shall be built to conform to the wider existing walk, but in any event it shall be built not less than five feet in width and shall taper gradually to any narrower walk at either terminus, beginning not less than fifteen feet from such terminus and having the reduction of width on the curb side.
(c) Where a sidewalk is to be constructed throughout the width of an existing lot, sublot or other parcel of land and the walk is to be less than sixty feet in length and the existing sidewalks at either terminus of the newly constructed walk are the same width but less than five feet wide, the newly constructed sidewalk shall be constructed in width to conform exactly to the width of the existing walks at the termini thereof.
(d) Where a sidewalk is to be constructed throughout the width of an existing lot, sublot or other parcel of land and the walk is to be less than sixty feet in length and the existing sidewalks at each terminus of the newly constructed walk are of different widths, the newly constructed sidewalk shall be constructed in width to conform to the width of the wider of the two existing sidewalks and shall taper gradually to the narrower walk at its terminus, beginning not less than fifteen feet from such terminus and with the reduction in width taking place entirely on the curb side of the newly constructed sidewalks.
(Ord. 59-30. Passed 4-7-59.)
