The building official shall deny final public utility connections to any building or dwelling and the certificate of occupancy until the concrete curbs, gutters and sidewalks required under Sections 12.08.060 through 12.08.090 exist or are constructed or their construction is guaranteed to the satisfaction of the city council.

(Ord. 379 § 3, 1958; Ord. 1210, 1983)

A. Upon written application made to the city council, the city council may waive by resolution the effect of Sections 12.08.060 through 12.08.090 upon the applicant, when the city council finds that any one of the conditions set out in subsection B of this section exists. The decision of the council to approve or deny the application shall be final.

B. The conditions provided for in subsection A of this section are as follows:

1. The city council determines that because of the location of the property, the terrain or location of the property, or other similar reasons, the construction of the curbs, gutters and sidewalks would be impractical or unnecessary.

2. The city council determines that because of lack of adequate data in regard to grades, plans or surveys, the construction of the curbs, gutters and sidewalks should be waived.

3. The city council determines that construction of the curbs, gutters and sidewalks is included in a budgeted city project or an approved assessment district.

(Ord. 379 § 4, 1958)

Any lot, street, alley or other feature made the subject of Sections 12.08.060 through 12.08.090 which is maintained contrary to these provisions constitutes a public nuisance. In addition, this article may be enforced by an applicable civil process.
