For the safety of pedestrians and of children at play, installation by the developer of sidewalks on both sides of major streets and other streets with heavy traffic will normally be required. The Planning Commission shall waive the requirement of sidewalks for minor streets, or where a park, railroad or other use on one side of a street makes a sidewalk nonessential.
Sidewalks, when required, shall be located not less than one foot from the property line to prevent interference or encroachment by fencing, walls, hedges or other planting or structures placed on the property line at a later date. When required in a single-family residential area, concrete sidewalks shall be four feet wide and four inches thick. In multifamily or group housing developments, sidewalks shall be five feet wide and ten feet wide in commercial areas.
