Any person, firm or corporation making application for a building permit shall at the time of making application for such permit, and in consideration of the issuance of such permit by the village, agree, as part of the improvement to be erected, to construct sidewalks along the front and (in cases of corner lots) along the side of said premises, as do not then have good usable sidewalks, and to replace such broken or unrepairable sections of such existing sidewalks as the village shall designate; and to repair and patch any such sections of sidewalk which are broken or cracked, but which are repairable, whether or not such breaks and cracks occur before or after construction of said building. Such sidewalks shall be built or repaired to comply with the ordinances and other requirements of the village relating to construction of sidewalks and shall be constructed under the supervision and subject to the approval of the village. The proper grade at which such sidewalk or sidewalks shall be constructed shall be furnished by the village without charge to the applicant. No application for water service for such premises need be granted by the village unless and until such sidewalk shall have been constructed or repaired and found acceptable by the village. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any lots within any subdivision the plat or plan for which, or covenants in the deeds for which, contemplate that no sidewalks shall or will be constructed in such subdivision.
