(A) (1) Any person desiring to construct, or cause to be constructed, any sidewalk shall do so only as herein provided.
(2) It shall be unlawful for any person to construct any sidewalk without first having obtained a permit.
(B) Said owner shall make application in writing for a permit and file such application in the office of the City Administrator or Street Commissioner. The permit shall give a description of the lot, or piece of land along which the sidewalk is to be constructed. The City Administrator or Street Commissioner shall issue the desired permit unless good cause shall appear why said permit should be denied; provided, if it is desired to construct the sidewalk at any other than the regularly prescribed location, grade or elevation, the City Administrator or Street Commissioner shall submit the application to the governing body who shall determine whether the permit should be granted or denied.
(C) All sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete, glass, iron or a combination of such materials. In the fire limits, all sidewalks shall be constructed plumb with the lot lines, unless the governing body by resolution otherwise order. Within the fire limits, all sidewalks shall extend in width from lot line to curb, if any, and in no event less than eight feet in width and elsewhere within the corporate limits, all sidewalks shall be laid four feet in width, unless the governing body, by resolution, otherwise orders. It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, or cause to be constructed said sidewalk at any other location, grade or elevation and, if there is no established grade, then on the grade or elevation indicated by the City Administrator or Street Commissioner.
