Any person desiring to construct, or cause to be constructed, any sidewalk, shall do so only as herein provided and in accordance with the sidewalk construction specifications set forth in § 95.039(D). It shall be unlawful for any person to construct any sidewalk without first having obtained a permit. Said owner shall make application in writing for a permit and file such application in the office of the City Clerk. The permit shall give a description of the lot or piece of land along which the sidewalk is to be constructed. The Street Commissioner shall issue the desired permit unless good cause shall appear why said permit should be denied; provided, if it is desired to construct the sidewalk at any other than the regularly prescribed location, grade, or elevation, the Street Commissioner shall submit the application to the governing body who shall determine whether the permit should be granted or denied. It shall be unlawful for any person to construct, or cause to be constructed, said sidewalk at any other location, grade, or elevation than so designated by the city. All sidewalks shall be built and constructed on the established grade or elevation and, if there is no established grade, then on the grade or elevation indicated by the Street Commissioner. All sidewalks shall be designed and constructed in accordance with § 95.039(D). Said sidewalk construction shall be inspected by the Street Commissioner and if at any time the Street Commissioner finds that work is proceeding in violation of the permit issued for such construction or in violation of any ordinances, rules, or regulations of the city, he or she may stop the work and said construction shall not again proceed until the builder makes any needed corrections to comply with said requirements.
