(A) The developer, builder, or contractor in all subdivision development and the owner of any subdivided lot, except for planned unit developments (PUD) and residential cluster developments (RCD), shall be required to build sidewalks along the entire frontage of both sides of the street or streets, including cul-de-sacs and courts, abutting the lot or lots. Construction specifications such as size, type of material, thickness, and other specifications shall be in accord with the specifications as set forth in the Kenton County Subdivision Regulations.
(B) In all PUD and RCD developments, as defined in §§ 10-10 and 10-11 of the Villa Hills Zoning Regulations, sidewalks shall be required in front of all constructed areas and shall be required on one (1) side of the street in all undeveloped areas. Sidewalks shall be connected between all constructed areas wherever logistically feasible.
(C) All required sidewalks shall be constructed and finished prior to occupancy of any building on the lot. No occupancy permit shall be issued for a building unless the sidewalk is completed and approved by the City Inspector.
(D) Sidewalks shall be required to be built for all developed lots regardless of whether a building exists on the lot or not.
(E) All sidewalks shall be completed within twelve (12) months from the date of approval by the city of the final plat or the date of recording of the plat at the County Clerk’s office, whichever comes first.
(F) After sidewalks are completed, the owner of the property shall be responsible for the maintenance and, when necessary, the repairs to the sidewalk within such property.
(G) This subchapter shall only apply in areas in which the subdivision regulations require the construction of sidewalks as of the effective date of the ordinance codified in this subchapter and thereafter. The owner of no existing lot shall be required to construct a sidewalk unless the subdivision regulations applicable to that lot require such construction.
