Development Review and Oversight
Right-of-Way (ROW) Construction
Activities
The public right of way (ROW) includes the street and the area between
the sidewalk and the curb (or edge of pavement). All construction activities
performed by organizations other than the City and within these right of
way boundaries are permitted and monitored by the Engineering Office. Construction
activities may include:
| • |
Sidewalk replacement |
| • |
Driveway replacement |
| • |
Tree planting |
| • |
Utility service repair |
| • |
Any public utility construction activities |
A ROW Permit form is available online. Maintenance activities, such
as mowing or turf restoration, do not require a permit. If you are uncertain
whether or not a permit is necessary, please call (630) 377-4486 or click
here to submit an e-mail question.
Stormwater Information
Any activity disturbing 5,000 square feet or more requires a stormwater
management permit to be submitted. Any work within a floodplain or wetland
also requires submittal of a stormwater management permit.
The Engineering Division will provide assistance
with floodplain maps to determine floodplain and wetland locations.
Stormwater permit forms are available online. If a project requires
the submittal of a building permit and a stormwater permit, both
should be submitted together. The City
Code and Kane
County Ordinances provide additional information on local and
county requirements. If you are uncertain whether a permit is
necessary please call 630-377-4486 or email the
Engineering office.
Subdivision Plan Review and Building Permit
Plan Review
Any subdivision or building permit project that involves one or more
of the following elements requires plan review by the Engineering Office:
| • |
Public roadway or utility construction |
| • |
Any work within the ROW |
| • |
Water, sanitary sewer or storm sewer service utility
connections |
| • |
Any construction activity that would involve a detour,
lane closure or use of a public street for materials or equipment
staging |
The City strongly encourages communication while project concepts are
being developed and before a project is submitted. The Engineering Office
provides utility and street maps, as well as guidance on City
Code requirements. Development standards have also been developed
to assist in plan preparation.
Information requests can by made by phone (630) 377-4486, by fax (630)
