(A) Pedestrian ways, other than sidewalks in street rights-of-way, shall be at least 20 feet wide, when required. The Planning Commission and/or Village Council may require a paved walkway to be provided for public safety and welfare. Street rights-of-way shall be sufficient to provide for sidewalks on both sides of the street, except in planned unit residential developments, where variations may be permitted.
(B) Sidewalks and walkways in pedestrian ways shall have a minimum pavement width of 4 feet, and shall have a minimum lateral slope of 1/4 inch per foot of width. Sidewalks shall be placed within the street right-of-way, 1 foot away from the property line. Sidewalks shall be concrete, 4 inches thick, with 6-inch thickness under driveways. Driveway aprons shall not break the sidewalk level.
(C) The pavement of a pedestrian way shall consist of concrete, asphalt, stone, or other surface material. Planting pockets shall be provided in pedestrian ways for tree and shrub plantings. The planting plan and surface treatment shall meet the approval of the Planning Commission. Fences and other improvements may also be required if the Planning Commission and Village Council determine such are necessary to protect the adjacent property owners or the pedestrians. The Planning Commission and Village Council may require that pedestrian ways be lighted, with the lighting to be located so as to adequately illuminate the walkway but not to disturb adjacent residences.
