The owner of any property who desires to replace an existing sidewalk within the adjacent public right-of-way or to construct a new sidewalk within the adjacent public right-of-way where none currently exists may construct a new or replacement sidewalk, but only under the following conditions:

1. The owner of adjacent property may not construct a new or replacement sidewalk within the public right-of-way without the prior consent of the village board.

2. Except as otherwise determined by the village board, all sidewalks constructed in the public right-of-way shall have a width of forty-eight inches and a thickness of no less than four inches except that any portion of a sidewalk crossing a driveway or an alley shall have a thickness of not less than six inches.

3. Except as otherwise determined by the village board, any such sidewalk shall be constructed with portland cement concrete with a white rock mix capable of withstanding a pressure of three thousand five hundred pounds per square inch. All such concrete shall contain fiberglass mesh reinforcement but shall not contain wire mesh or steel reinforcing rods.

4. Any such sidewalk must be installed by a concrete contractor or other qualified person approved by the village board.

Provided that the village board concurs with the need for the construction of a new or replacement sidewalk and provided that advance approval of the project is obtained from the village board, the village shall pay the cost of the concrete used to construct the sidewalk at typical rates charged for ready mix concrete on the date of installation based upon the volume of concrete as measured or determined by a representative of the village. The village shall not pay the cost of any portion of a driveway approach other than that portion thereof utilized for sidewalk purposes. The village shall not pay the cost of any sidewalk constructed on private property. (Ord. 2001-41 § 1 (part), 2001)
