(a) Any sidewalk that is repaired must be the same size as the former sidewalk’s width and length unless it is less than three feet or more than five feet. Depth of the sidewalk shall be at least four inches. Sidewalk depth at drive locations/approaches shall be a minimum of six inches. The grade of the sidewalk shall conform as closely as possible to the existing adjacent ground elevations and shall be established in a manner that will not interfere with the surface drainage from adjacent areas. All sidewalks shall be installed with a maximum transverse slope of one-quarter inch of fall per foot of walk width. Sidewalk design and installation (including longitudinal slope and surface finish) shall meet with the current requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. All proposed sidewalk installations shall be inspected and approved by the Village of Elmore prior to placement of concrete.
(b) The Village Superintendent or his representative shall check the grades and placement of forms prior to the placing of concrete. No repaired sidewalk should be lower than the previous sidewalk. The sidewalks should be even with adjoining property sidewalks or curbs. No sidewalk shall be less than three feet wide and shall not be more than five feet wide unless in the business district or with the approval of the Commission in a new development.
(c) Sidewalks replaced or repaired are to be of the same uniform material. Concrete will be only material allowed to be used for repair or replacement. If existing sidewalk is of concrete material and only parts of the sidewalk are being repaired, then concrete must be used. The existing sidewalk removal limit shall be at an existing joint. If necessary to provide a neat joint, the existing sidewalk shall be sawed or otherwise cut at the removal joint.
