§ 24.50.240. Building construction, demolition or repair—Covered walkways required for certain construction; general standards.

Whenever structures are built or extended to a point where the height of construction exceeds 25 percent of the distance from the sidewalk, or where the height or extension of the structure exceeds eight feet and materials are to be moved across the sidewalk, a covered walkway not less than four feet wide shall be constructed along its entire length on the street side. The protective roof shall have a clear height of eight feet above the walkway and shall be tightly boarded with a covering of roofing paper or other material to prevent water from falling through. Every such walkway shall have a tight board fence built along its entire length on the side abutting the building site. The requirements of this section may be waived at the discretion of the director of development services if he finds them unnecessary to protect the public safety.
