The City Council shall review and consider all areas of the city that are not presently served by the sidewalk system. The City Council shall determine whether a sidewalk system would be appropriate under the circumstances in the area. To the degree the City Council determines sidewalks to be appropriate, the Council may require the installation of sidewalks in accordance with the other provisions of this subchapter. The City Council shall have, in its discretion, the right to determine whether sidewalks would not be appropriate and exercise of the discretion shall not prevent the Council from enforcing the other provisions of this subchapter requiring the repair, replacement or maintenance of sidewalks in other areas of the city. As new subdivisions and areas of the city are developed, the City Council shall review as a part of the platting process the areas and determine whether the installation of sidewalks are appropriate, and shall require or waive the requirement of installation of sidewalks in each area on a case by case basis.
