(A) Any person desiring to construct, or cause to be constructed, any sidewalk shall do so only as provided in this section. It shall be unlawful for any person to construct any sidewalk without first having obtained a permit.
(B) The owner shall make application in writing for a permit and file such application in the office of the City Clerk. The permit shall give a description of the lot or piece of land along which the sidewalk is to be constructed. The Overseer of Streets shall issue the desired permit unless good cause appears why the permit should be denied; except that, if it is desired to construct the sidewalk at any other than the regularly prescribed location, grade or elevation, the Overseer of Streets shall submit the application to the City Council for determination as to whether the permit should be granted or denied. It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, or cause to be constructed, such sidewalk at any other location, grade or elevation than so designated by the city. All sidewalks shall be built and constructed on the established grade or elevation and, if there is no established grade, then on the grade or elevation indicated by the Overseer of Streets.
