§ A328-1. Policy and provisions for the replacement/construction of sidewalks.

The City Council declares that the retention, repair and replacement of existing sidewalks within the City of Fairfax is in the public interest and that as far as possible the existing sidewalk system should be maintained, repaired and replaced, except in such circumstances where the Council determines it is unnecessary, unfair, or not in the public interest to continue the sidewalk system. The City Council shall review and consider all areas of the City that are not presently served by the sidewalk system. The City Council shall determine whether or not a sidewalk system would be appropriate under the circumstances in any such area. To the degree the City Council determines sidewalks to be appropriate the Council shall have in its discretion the right to determine whether sidewalks should not be appropriate and exercise of such discretion shall not prevent the Council from enforcing any provisions of Chapter 204, Art. IV, of this Code requiring the repair, replacement or maintenance of sidewalks in other areas of the City. As new subdivisions and areas of the City are developed, the City Council shall review as part of the platting process such areas and determine whether or not the installation of sidewalks are appropriate, and shall require or waive the installation of sidewalks in each area on a case by case basis.
