911.19. Grades.
   (a)   All grades for walks shall conform to street grades, which shall be established by the Commissioner.
   (b)   All walks and driveways shall be constructed or reconstructed to conform to the grade on the right-of-way where the grade has been established.
   (c)   The walk shall comply with City of Toledo construction specifications and standards.
   (d)   When existing conditions will not allow for the transverse slope to meet City of Toledo construction specifications and standards, a permit will be issued only as approved by the Commissioner.
   (e)   [Repealed]
   (f)   Upon a right-of-way where the grade has been established by the Commissioner, but where the street has not been improved by paving or grading to such grade, walks shall be constructed in conformity with the established grade or as specified in the legislation providing for the construction or reconstruction of such walks, driveways and curb openings. Provided, however, when walks shall be ordered by Council, or shall be constructed or reconstructed without such order by the owner of property abutting on a right-of-way where no grade is established, such walks may be constructed or reconstructed at such levels and inclinations as may be prescribed by the Commissioner. When such a permission is requested of and granted by the Commissioner to construct or reconstruct a walk on such right-of-way, it shall be granted and the walk shall be constructed or reconstructed only on condition that when a grade is established such walk shall be removed and reconstructed to the grade which may thereafter be established by the Commissioner for such street, entirely at the expense of the owner of the property abutting on such street.
   (g)   [Repealed]
   (h)   Whenever a sidewalk is reconstructed to a grade that does not meet the grade of adjacent existing walks, the person constructing the new sidewalk shall construct a ramp to eliminate any stub toes or grade inequality. The materials, workmanship and character of the ramp shall be as determined by the Commissioner.
