(A) Sidewalks on each side of a street shall be provided within a subdivision when the major subdivision averages two lots or more per gross acre.
Sidewalks on both sides of the street shall be provided within a major subdivision when the subdivision averages less than two lots per gross acre, provided, however, the Plan Commission may waive the above requirements in those subdivisions with less than two lots per gross acre and only upon showing by the developer that the sidewalks will serve no specific purpose of future need. Sidewalks shall be of portland cement concrete with a minimum thickness of four inches on four feet, and the edge of walks adjacent to the property line of the street shall be placed at least one foot from the property line within the street right-of-way.
(B) Crosswalks within the blocks shall be improved with a four-foot walk of either concrete four inches thick or four-inch compacted aggregate base. The base should be extended beyond sidewalk on either side to a distance equal to depth of base.
(C) If for any reason sidewalks are not provided, the street grade shall be completed so that the minimum amount of additional grading would be necessary for any future provisions for sidewalks.
