§ 171-9. Sidewalk
dimensions.
Sidewalks
and driveways in the Village shall be constructed of concrete at least four
inches and six inches thick respectively and as otherwise provided in the
specifications established by the New York State Department of Transportation.
A stronger mixture of concrete or mortar may be used at the discretion of the
owner and contractor. The surface shall be finished to a true surface with a
screed and wood float. All surface edges shall be rounded to a 1/4 inch
radius.
§ 171-10. Sidewalk
construction.
The wall
shall be cut into separate approved lengths and slab form by division plates,
which plates, of suitable rigid material, shall be 1/4 inch thick, as wide
as the depth of the slab and as long as the width of the walk. They shall not
be removed until after the concrete has hardened sufficiently to avoid breaking
the edges or corners of the slab. The surface edges of each slab shall be
rounded to a 1/4 inch radius.
§ 171-11. Use of
blacktop or bituminous concrete prohibited.
No blacktop
or bituminous concrete shall be used to cover any part of the sidewalk, and
should the sidewalk become broken, the replacement should be made in accordance
with the specifications and dimensions in §§ 171-9 and 171-10. In no event
is blacktop or bituminous concrete to be used to cover the area specifically
used for sidewalk purpose.
§ 171-12. Village to do
work in case of default by owner.
Upon default
of an owner to construct a sidewalk in accordance with the Village Engineer's
specifications as filed with the Village Clerk within 10 days from the date of
giving notice, the Village of New York Mills shall construct said sidewalk and
shall assess the cost of such construction against the owner of the abutting premises.
