In the passage of a resolution declaring that certain specified sidewalks, curbing or gutters shall be constructed or repaired and in all the subsequent procedure necessary to secure the construction or repair of sidewalks, curbing and gutters and collect the assessments therefor, sidewalks, curbing or gutters, although upon different streets and abutting upon lots and lands owned by different persons, may be provided for in the same resolution, notice, contract and ordinance or other steps in such procedure.
(Ord. 10483. Passed 10-18-54.)
The assessment of the cost and expense of constructing or repairing sidewalks, curbing or gutters upon abutting, adjacent and contiguous property, or upon other specially benefited property, shall be made according to the rule provided for street improvement by general law.
(Ord. 10483. Passed 10-18-54.)
If Council believes it necessary to construct or repair a sidewalk or gutter on one side only of a street, alley or road, it may assess and collect the charge therefor on the owners of the lots or lands abutting on both sides of such street, alley or road in like manner as if such sidewalk or gutter had been constructed on both sides. If a sidewalk or gutter is so constructed and assessed, and if it is then thought necessary to construct a sidewalk or gutter on the other side of such street, alley or road, the charge therefor shall likewise be assessed on the owners of the lots and lands on both sides.
(Ord. 10483. Passed 10-18-54.)
Whenever the Service Director finds that a sidewalk should be cleaned so as to be free from any objectionable substance, he or she shall order such sidewalk cleaned and notice shall be served upon the owner of the parcel of land abutting on the sidewalk. If such sidewalk, curbing or gutter is not cleaned within five days after the service of the notice or completion of the publication, except if the objectionable substance is snow, then within 12 hours after the abatement of a snow storm, the Service Director shall have it done at the expense of the owner. The cost of the cleaning shall constitute a lien upon the property and shall be paid by the owner to the Finance Director. If it is not paid within ten days from the time it was reported to the owner, the Service Director shall certify the cost, together with a penalty of five percent thereon, to the County Auditor who shall collect the same in the same manner as other taxes are collected.
(Ord. 2-2006. Passed 1-3-06.)
All sidewalks shall be under the direction of the Service Director. The space between the property line and the curb line on each side of the paved roadway or curbed streets shall constitute the sidewalk. Upon unpaved streets, the sidewalk shall be the portion adjoining the property line on each side and shall have a width equal to one-fifth of the distance between property lines, but in no case shall the sidewalks be less than four feet in width except in streets or alleys of sixteen feet or less in width, where the sidewalk shall be two and one-half feet in width.
