The existence of unimproved curbs, gutters, and sidewalks adjoining dwellings and buildings within the City of San Juan Bautista is hereby found and declared to be prejudicial to the public health, safety and welfare of the inhabitants of said City.
Any person who constructs or causes to be constructed any building or dwelling in the City of San Juan Bautista shall construct curbs, gutters and sidewalks in accordance with the City of San Juan Bautista specifications along all street frontage adjoining the property upon which such building or dwelling is constructed, unless adequate curbs, gutters or sidewalks already exist; provided, however, that in areas not subdivided or parceled into lots of one-half (1/2) acre or less, such curbs, gutters or sidewalks need not extend a greater distance than the side yards or the side and rear yards in the case of corner lots. Whether or not adequate curbs, gutters or sidewalks already exist shall be determined in each instance by the Building Inspector of the City of San Juan Bautista, and an endorsement to that effect shall be made upon each building permit at the time it is issued.
Contractors or others installing curbs and gutters shall repair the street and clean up the area in a manner equal to the condition of the area before commencement of the work.
The Building Inspector shall deny final approval and acceptance, and shall refuse to allow final public utility connections, to any such building or dwelling unless said curbs, gutters or sidewalks exist, are constructed, or unless money or a bond to guarantee their construction is deposited with the City of San Juan Bautista in a sum equal to the estimated cost of the construction of said improvements as determined by the Building Inspector of the City of San Juan Bautista.
The regulations prescribed in SJBMC 10-1-205 and 10-1-210 shall not apply to any building or dwelling the construction of which began prior to the effective date of this Article (April 20, 1965).
As used in this Article, the term “person” shall mean and include any person, firm, partnership, association, corporation, company or organization of any kind.
