It is the policy of the City to have curb, gutter and sidewalks on all existing and future streets. To effectuate this policy, the following procedures will be followed:
A. 
An owner of unimproved land abutting on an existing opened street who improves said property by erecting buildings thereon shall install curb, gutter and sidewalk along the street abutting said land where curb, gutter or sidewalk do not exist. No building permit shall be issued until application for such curb, gutter and sidewalk grade has been made. The finished lawn or surface grade shall conform to the sidewalk grade.
B. 
No street shall be opened or improved unless curb and gutter are installed, at the expense of the abutting landowners, by the City, either directly or by contract, at the time the street is opened. No application for the opening and improving of a street shall be granted unless accompanied by an application for curb and gutter signed by all owners of land abutting on the street to be opened.
C. 
If the owner of any parcel of land fails to construct the curb, gutter and sidewalk, in a timely manner as required by the City, said construction may be performed by the City either directly or by contract, and the cost may be charged to the property owner.
D. 
If the Common Council determines that curb, gutter and sidewalk shall be constructed on any street in the City, it may be constructed by the City, either directly or by contract, and the cost thereof shall be charged to the property owner.
E. 
All subdivisions created after January 1, 1990, shall be subject to the same curb and gutter requirements as set forth above; however, sidewalks shall be installed in the subdivision upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) 
The passage of 24 months from the date that any property within the subdivision is sold or transferred by the developer;
(2) 
The sale or transfer of 75% of the lots within the subdivision; or
(3) 
The passage of five years from the date that the original subdivision plat is approved.
F. 
The costs of constructing curb and gutter may be specially assessed pursuant to the Code of the City of Reedsburg and state law. The costs of constructing sidewalk may be assessed pursuant to § 537-12 and Wis. Stats. § 66.0907.
