All such sidewalks shall hereafter be maintained as provided in this subchapter and the laws of the state. However, a property owner may apply to the City Council for an exemption from this provision, and the Council may grant an exemption if the Council finds there is no connecting sidewalk and there is no benefit to the maintenance of sidewalk that is proposed to be removed.
