TITLE
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND GAHANNA CODE CHAPTER 903 REGARDING SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
BODY
WHEREAS, Gahanna Code Section 903.04 currently requires a Sidewalk Permit and fee for construction of sidewalk within the public right-of-way; and,
WHEREAS, this fee collected for the Sidewalk Permit is used to pay for inspection; and,
WHEREAS, a Right-of-Way Construction Permit is also required for construction of sidewalk within the right-of-way; and,
WHEREAS, to eliminate redundancy and improve the efficiency for applicants to obtain a necessary permit to perform sidewalk construction within the right-of-way, the administration proposes that the current Code be amended to remove the requirement for a Sidewalk Permit and changing the permit fee to an inspection fee; and,
WHEREAS, the sidewalk inspection fee would be collected as part of the Right-of-Way Construction Permit process.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GAHANNA, COUNTY OF FRANKLIN, STATE OF OHIO:
Section 1. That Code Chapter 903 for Sidewalk Construction is hereby amended and adopted in EXHIBIT A attached hereto and made a part herein.
Section 2. That this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect after passage by this Council and 30 days after the date of signature of approval by the Mayor.
