(A) The normal width required for new construction is 10% of the dedicated width of the right-of-way in which construction is to be made. In the event of an existing walk within the block being wider or narrower than the required width; then the Village Council may allow the original width to be replaced or allow new construction to retain this width.
(B) The normal grade for new construction shall be parallel to the existing street and/or curb grade or in the case of unimproved streets shall be parallel to the established grade. The surface of all walks shall have a transverse slope of one-quarter inch per foot of width with the low side adjacent to the curb or roadway. In the event of hardship, the slope and grade of the walk may be altered from these requirements. The Village Engineer will set grades and slopes and where necessary place stakes to line and grade for construction.
