(a) It shall be the policy of the Village that a notice shall be served upon the owner of any lot or land within the corporate limits of the Village to construct sidewalks along the public right-of-way adjacent thereto, where not previously installed or constructed, when it is determined that the construction of the sidewalk is determined to be in the best interest of the citizens of the Village.
(b) The Village Administrator shall cause to be served a notice stating an estimate of cost for the construction and the length of time allotted for the construction thereof.
(c) Unless the time frame to construct the sidewalk in question has been extended pursuant to subsection (d) hereof, if after a period of sixty (60) days from the date of service of the notice the walk has not been constructed, the Village Administrator shall cause the walk to be constructed and the cost, including the engineering, inspection and other incidental expenses, shall be certified by the Village Clerk-Treasurer to the County Auditor for collection, either in cash or by assessment, in accordance with Ohio R.C. 729.02(E).
(d) A property owner may, in writing, request an extension of time to construct. The request for extension of time must state the reason that the compliance with the original deadline cannot be met. The request for extension must be delivered to the Village Administrator in advance of the original deadline. The Village Administrator is authorized to grant an extension of up to thirty (30) days.
