The provisions of Section
13.08.010 may be modified by the city engineer under the following circumstances:
A. Curbs
and gutters only shall be required where the topography is such that
the installation of sidewalks would be impractical.
B. Curbs, gutters or sidewalks need not be installed where the street grade cannot readily be established by the city engineer, or where the street for practical reasons has not been graded to an established grade which would enable proper location of curbs, gutters or sidewalks provided that the applicable provisions of Section
13.08.040 are complied with.
C. Curbs,
gutters and sidewalks and street pavement already exist to the satisfaction
of the city engineer along all street and alley frontages adjoining
the lot or lots on which the building or dwelling is to be constructed.
(Ord. 4574 § 2, 2007)
Curbs, gutters and sidewalks, and additional pavement if required,
shall be located within the street right-of-way at the locations and
grades established by the city engineer and per the City of Roseville
design and construction standards. In the event that additional right-of-way
is required to maintain consistency with the City of Roseville design
and construction standards, the property owner shall dedicate that
additional right-of-way to the city.
(Ord. 4574 § 2, 2007)
When any portion of any sidewalk is out of repair or in condition to endanger persons or property, or in condition to interfere with the public convenience in the use thereof except as to those conditions created upon, along or in connection with such sidewalk by the city, or resulting from root or trunk growth of street trees as defined in Section
8.04.030, the city engineer, in the manner provided by state law, shall notify the owner or person in possession of the property abutting or fronting upon that portion of such sidewalk so out of repair, to repair; and upon a failure of the owner or person in possession to repair, the city engineer shall cause such repairs to be made and the cost thereof to be assessed against the abutting or fronting property.

constructed.
