(A) Any person, partnership, company, corporation, association or agency intending to construct a sidewalk on the county’s right-of-way shall make written application to and secure a permit from the County Highway Department. This permit must be obtained before commencing construction on a sidewalk within the right-of-way of a county highway and before obtaining a building permit and an improvement location permit.
(B) A new sidewalk permit application shall be required when a relocation, alteration or remodeling occurs on any premises where a sidewalk currently exists in the county right-of-way. The granting or denial of the application shall be governed by the same regulations and judged by the same standards as an application for a permit for a wholly new sidewalk.
(C) Application to the County Highway Department shall be made on the form as prescribed by the County Highway Department. The form and accompanying documentation shall be submitted containing as many copies as may be prescribed by the County Highway Department. The result shall be a permit application package that completely and clearly describes and records the proposed work to be performed on the county’s right-of-way by the applicant. It shall contain plans, documents and other information on which to base a determination. It must also provide a clear record that can be reviewed in future years for investigative purposes.
