For the purposes of this chapter, the sidewalk area shall be the area between the property line of the parcel and the back of the curb or the edge of the roadway pavement, whichever is closer to the property line. The term sidewalk shall not include the curb and gutter.
b. For the purposes of this chapter, maintenance and repair of sidewalk area shall include, but not be limited to, maintenance and repair of surfaces including grinding, removal and replacement of sidewalks, removal of weeds and/or debris, tree root pruning and installing root barriers, trimming of shrubs and/or ground cover and trimming shrubs, so that the sidewalk will remain in a condition that is safe and not dangerous to property or to persons using the sidewalk in a reasonable manner and will be in a condition which will not interfere with the public convenience in the use of the sidewalk.

10-6-200 Repair by Town. ¶

If the Town becomes aware that a portion of the sidewalk needs repair or endangers the public's use of such sidewalk, the Public Works Director, or his or her designee, may notify the owner of the adjacent property that such sidewalk needs repair. Notices shall be sent either in the manner provided for either in Streets and Highways Code Sections

5600 et seq., as those sections may be amended and renumbered from time to time, or in Chapter 1 of Title 1 of this Code. If the owner does not repair the sidewalk within the time provided in the notice, or within such longer period of time provided by the Public Works Director in writing, the Town may repair the sidewalk and recover the costs of such repair from the property owner in the same manner as provided for by either Streets and Highways Code Sections 5600 et seq. or Chapter 1 of Title 1 of this Code.

10-6-300 Liability for Injuries to Public. ¶

The owner of real property in the Town shall owe a duty to members of the public to keep and maintain the sidewalk area in a safe and nondangerous condition as required by this chapter. The failure of an owner to fulfill the duties imposed by this chapter is negligence. If, as a result of the failure of any property owner to maintain the sidewalk area in a non-dangerous condition as required by this chapter, any person suffers injury or damage to person or property, the property owner shall be liable to such person for the resulting damages or injury. The Town shall not be liable for an injury caused by the negligence of a property owner.

(Ord. No. 2023-383, § 1, 12-20-2023)

10-6-400 Exceptions. ¶

An adjacent property owner is not responsible for sidewalk damage and repair if the damage is caused by the action of the Town, or its officials and employees, and the property owner has notified the Public Works Director in writing of the damage or defects in the sidewalk. For the purpose of this section, damage caused by trees shall not be the responsibility of the Town to correct. (Ord. No. 2023-383, § 1, 12-20-2023)
