§ 12.08.040. Location and grade

A. Sidewalks. The sidewalks shall be constructed within the street right-of-way with the property side of the sidewalk coinciding with the property line. Whenever practical, the sidewalk shall be constructed at an elevation lower than the finished ground elevation at the building site on the property, and if practical it shall be level with or above the finished street center-line elevation.

B. Curb and Gutter. The back side of the curb shall be twenty (20) feet from the centerline of the street right-of-way to provide a forty (40) foot street from back of curb to back of curb. Wherever practical the top of the curb shall be constructed level with or lower than the street side of the sidewalk and if practical it shall also be approximately level with the finished street centerline elevation. If no sidewalk exists the top of the curb, if practical, shall be low enough to allow drainage from the property into the street. The curb and gutter shall have a longitudinal slope of at least four inches per one hundred (100) feet but a greater slope is desirable.
