A. Where a proposed subdivision lies within the corporate limits of the Town, or is adjacent to another subdivision which has been provided with sidewalks, and when the proposed subdivision will have lots which average less than one (1) acre in area for lots included in the subdivision, the Town shall require sidewalks to be installed on each side of the street.

B. All sidewalks shall be a minimum of five feet (5') wide in residential zone districts, a minimum of eight feet (8') wide in commercial zone districts, and meet current ADA requirements. Replacement of existing sidewalks shall be to the width of the adjacent or connecting sidewalk.

C. The closest edge of sidewalks adjacent to a collector or arterial street shall be placed at least five feet (5') from the curb line.

D. Where blocks are longer than six hundred sixty feet (660'), the Town Council may require, after Planning Commission review, a pedestrian crosswalk connecting adjacent streets or other public areas at or near the middle of the block to permit acceptable pedestrian access to abutting streets. Such crosswalks shall be at least ten feet (10') in width.

E. Where a means of pedestrian access is necessary from the development to schools, parks, playgrounds, or other roads or facilities and that such access is not conveniently provided by sidewalks adjacent to the roads, the Town Council may require, after Planning Commission review, the applicant to reserve an unobstructed trail easement of at least ten feet (10') in width to provide such access.

F. The Town of Parachute Manual of Public Works Improvements, adopted as a separate regulation and as amended from time to time, contains the minimum sidewalk construction requirements for all subdivisions. (Ord. 711 §1 (Exh. A), 2017; Amended Ord. 757 §2, 2019)
