Page 1 of 2 No person, except in cases of undedicated subdivisions or in streets where special assessments are to be made, shall install, construct or replace sidewalks in or on any public street or highway or other public property without first obtaining a permit to do so from the Service Director. The Service Director shall demand and receive a fee of thirty dollars ($30.00) for each 500 square feet or fraction thereof of sidewalk before the issuance of any such permit. This amount is necessary to defray the costs of administration and inspection to insure conformance of the work to City specifications. If construction is commenced prior to obtaining the permit, the fee shall be sixty dollars ($60.00) for each 500 square feet, or fraction thereof of sidewalk. No portion of the fee shall be refundable. (Ord. 94-58. Passed 4-19-94.) 903.02 CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS. The following standards regarding the construction or reconstruction of sidewalks within the City are hereby established: (a) On local residential streets, sidewalks shall be located in the public right of way so that the inner line is approximately one foot from the property line. On corner lots, each sidewalk shall be extended to the curb. In one-family and multi-family residential developments, industrial developments and business developments, walks shall be not less than five feet wide. (b) Sidewalks shall be constructed of concrete four inches thick, except that where they are crossed by driveways they shall not be less than six inches thick. Moreover, all sidewalks shall be in accordance with other City standards for construction. (c) Sidewalks shall be constructed for all new buildings or residences along the entire right-of-way line of the parcel. The Service Director may waive this requirement if less than one-fourth of the existing buildings or residences on the street have a sidewalk in front of their parcel of land. (d) All new curbs that are authorized to be constructed under the Subdivision Regulations, and all existing curbs which are part of any reconstruction, shall have a ramp with a nonslip surface built into the curb at each pedestrian crosswalk so that the sidewalk and street blend into a common level. Such ramps shall not be less than forty inches wide and shall, insofar as feasible, be constructed in accordance with the standard drawings and specifications for curb ramps of the Ohio Department of Transportation and the applicable provisions of the Ohio Basic Building Code, which drawings, specifications and provisions are hereby adopted and approved by Council and made a part hereof as though fully rewritten http://www.conwaygreene.com/NorthOlmsted/lpext.dll/NorthOlmstedl3af3/3 b22/3 ce9?f=t... 4/ 12/2013
