(A) No building shall be constructed within the boundaries of the city unless the character, style, and construction thereof shall be equal to and consistent with the existing residences in the immediate area of proposed building and unless the proposed building is suitable to the site and in harmony with the surroundings. This provision includes grading, landscaping, planting, trees, driveways, walks, screenings, and fences.
(B) Unless prevented by weather, the front and side yards of every lot shall be finish graded and sodded prior to occupancy. When weather prevents timely completion, this work shall be completed at the first available opportunity. An appropriate portion of any construction bond may be withheld until this work is completed, regardless of the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
(C) Upon construction of a new, primary building, where sidewalks adjacent and parallel to the street exist on an abutting lot, a connecting sidewalk of matching size and construction shall be provided on all streets which abut the lot for the width of the lot.
