All sidewalks hereafter built in the Village of North Collins

of that portion of the lot fronting the street.

For all sidewalk construction or repair, the Coordinator of Public

C.
A waiver and/or variance from the above sidewalk requirements may
be obtained upon written application of the property owner to the

for other good cause as may be demonstrated by the applicant.
