Telephone, electric power and street lighting wires, conduits or cables may be required to be constructed underground.
(A) Sidewalks. Concrete sidewalks having a minimum width of four feet and having minimum thickness of four inches shall be installed on both sides of all new streets; provided, however, that the Planning Commission may waive this requirement and allow sidewalks along only one side of any new street where in its sole and absolute discretion it determines that sidewalks on both sides of such new street are not necessary. In areas where the predominant lot width is 100 feet or more, the Planning Commission at its discretion may waive the requirement for any sidewalks.

(I) Provisions for maintenance and operation. Where the subdivision contains sewers, sewage treatment plants, water supply systems, park areas, street trees or other physical facilities necessary or desirable for the welfare of the area and which are of common use of benefit and which are of such character that the municipality or other public agency does not desire to maintain them, provisions shall be made by trust agreements, which are a part of the deed restrictions and which are acceptable to the Planning Commission for the proper and continuous maintenance and supervision of such facilities by the lot owners in the subdivisions.
