Latest version.
  • All streets shall be curbed and have sidewalks on both sides with the exception of those areas covered by section 21-49(c) of this Code and those areas covered by the subdivision regulations of the City of Bristol. The city council may, upon application by a residential property owner with less than four (4) contiguous existing lots of record on the assessor's map, or a new division of not over two (2) lots total, waive the requirement of this section providing all of the following criteria have been met:

    (a)

    That the owner shall sign a caveat, to be filed on the land records, that it understands that the deferral created by this subsection may be revoked any time upon written demand by the city council. Said revocation shall then effectively require the owner to install sidewalks to the current city specifications at the owner's cost within three hundred sixty (360) days from the date of the revocation;

    (b)

    That the owner shall have complied with all the other requirements of section 5-22 of this Code.

    (c)

    For the limited purpose of the foregoing, a block is defined as that area between intersecting streets.
