4.20 CURBS, GUTTERS, AND SIDEWALKS

4.20.1. The installation of curb, gutters, and sidewalks of a type approved by the Leeds Town Council may be required on any existing or proposed street adjoining a lot on which a building is to be constructed or on which a new use is to be established. The installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk may be required where such improvements are not already in existence or where existing improvements are damaged or broken. Said installation may be required as a condition of obtaining a building permit and shall be completed as a part of the building contract prior to occupancy. 4.20.2. The Town, upon examination, may determine that it is not in its best interest to install full improvements at the time of land development. In this event, the applicants shall be required to sign a letter of non-opposition to a future special improvement district created by the Town at such time as it is determined to be in the best interest of the Town to do so. The letter of non-opposition shall be recorded against the property and the validity thereof shall run with the land. 4.20.3. All sidewalks adjoining private property are to be maintained by the home owner whose property is adjacent to the sidewalk. Any cracks, holes, abrupt changes in level, damaged, broken or any other condition that would make the sidewalk unsafe, as judged by the Town’s Public Works Director, must be corrected by the home owner, at his expense, within thirty (30) days of written notice to the home owner of the said condition. 4.20.4. All lots less than one half (1/2) acre in size shall be installed with curb, gutter and sidewalk. The Town Council may, where installation of curb, gutter and sidewalk at this time would create a problem, authorize this requirement to be met with a special improvement district waiver as part of the recorded plat or with a non-opposition letter as described above. 4.20.5. Any construction on Main Street shall include curb, gutter, and sidewalk.
