Any property owner desiring to construct, or cause to be constructed, any sidewalk ramp to facilitate access to their property shall do so only as herein provided. It shall be unlawful for any person to construct any sidewalk ramp without obtaining the permission of the governing body. SIDEWALK RAMP shall mean any sidewalk constructed on municipal property which is not constructed on the established grade. The governing body shall consider the need for such ramp for accessibility and the extent to which such ramp would restrict the remaining sidewalk, impede drainage, or otherwise affect pedestrians. Any property owner constructing such sidewalk ramp and their successors in interest to the property benefitted by such ramp shall indemnify the city for loss due to obstruction of the sidewalk.
