This program will include only sidewalk construction;
that is, the replacement of sidewalks in place at the time that this
program goes into effect. Construction of new sidewalks; that is,
installing sidewalks where at this time no sidewalks exist, may be
undertaken at a later time. The Sidewalk Construction Program will
be amended at that time.
The Highway Superintendent will issue a set
of standard specifications of the Village of Yorkville and a permit
to the homeowner. The permit will be signed by the Highway Superintendent
and the homeowner. The homeowner will retain one copy of the permit.
The work may be done by a contractor or the
homeowner, as long as the specifications are met.
The Highway Superintendent will confirm the
measurements and will certify that the work has been done to his satisfaction.
All work must be done within 30 days of the
issuance of the permit. If not done within 30 days, the homeowner
will forfeit his permit.
[Amended 5-25-2016 by L.L. No. 7-2016]
When all requirements are met, the homeowner
will be reimbursed at the rate of $3.50 per square foot for the construction
of replaced sidewalk.
Applications which may not be successful in
the lottery, if that is the case, or submitted too late for construction
to be done in the current year will be given preference the following
year.
