Checklist of Up -to -Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page- for -page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and supplementation
many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user to
determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of each
page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second column
reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an up -to -date
volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code. When a page has
been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this column reflects the
identification number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this list may be used in
compiling an up -to -date copy from the original Code and subsequent Supplements.

(Ord. No. 2016 -06, § 2, 5- 12 -16)
Sec. 24 -25. Limitations on pavement
disturbance.
(a) The village public works director may
place restrictions or limitations on the
performance of any work or pavement disturbance
in roadways when deemed necessary or appropri-
ate to meet the purposes of this chapter. Without
limiting the foregoing, the public works director
may apply the following criteria in making such
determinations:
(1) Limitations on pavement disturbance will
generally be declared whenever major
construction, reconstruction, or a
structural overlay has been performed on
a roadway. Surface preservation treat-
ments shall generally not be considered a
major construction, reconstruction, or
structural overlay.
(2) Limitations on pavement disturbance will
apply for a five (5) year period on roadways
after completion of a major construction,
reconstruction, or structural overlay.
(b) When major construction, reconstruction,
or structural overlay projects on roadways are
planned, the public works department will give
prior notice to utility, communications, telephone,
and other similar companies and providers; public
utility districts; water and sewer districts; natural
gas companies; special purpose districts; and any
other pertinent entities about such project. The
notice shall generally describe the project and its
location, describe the duration of the pavement
disturbance limitation likely to be imposed fol-
lowing completion of the project, and encourage
the advance planning, coordination, and comple-
tion of any pavement disturbance projects by the
notified entities before or in conjunction with the
roadway project.
(Ord. No. 2016 -06, § 2, 5- 12 -16)
Sec. 24 -26. Exemptions to limitations on
pavement disturbance
(a) The public works director may establish
or allow exceptions to limitations imposed on
pavement disturbance. Such exceptions may be
granted on such terms and conditions as the
public works director determines best suited to
meet the purposes of this chapter.
(b) Exceptions granted or allowed under this
section may include but are not limited to the
following:
(1) Emergencies, such as broken water, sewer,
or natural gas lines.
Supp. No. 64 1520.2
STREETS, SIDEWALKS AND PUBLIC PLACES
(2) Utility service upgrades required to meet

(3) Infrastructure maintenance by utility
companies needed to meet public health,
safety and welfare requirements, such as
repair or replacement of essential fire
hydrants and water valves.
(4) Land development activities approved by
the village.
(5) Capital projects conducted by the village.
(c) All exceptions allowed or granted by the
public works director shall meet the pavement
restoration standards of this chapter.
(Ord. No. 2016 -06, § 2, 5- 12 -16)
Sec. 24 -27. Pavement restoration standards.
(a) Any work which results in pavement
disturbance shall require completion of pave-
ment restoration in accordance with this section
and shall return the pavement to its original, or
to a better, structural condition than existed
before the pavement disturbance.
(b) Unless the public works director specifies
different standards, the following standards shall
apply to all pavement restoration and patches:
(1) A full depth patch sufficient to match
existing pavement depth or four (4) inches,
whichever is greater, shall be constructed
on and over the disturbed area and to a
minimum lateral distance of twenty -four
(24) inches beyond the boundaries of the
disturbed area.
(2) A minimum two- inch -thick mill and
overlay is required for the restored area
beyond the full depth patch.
(3) Final restoration shall use hot mix asphalt
( "HMA ") material in lift no more than
one -inch.
§ 24 -41
(6) The minimum patch dimension in both
transverse and longitudinal directions
shall be thirty -six (36) inches.
(7) A patch shall be extended to the curb
and /or edge of lane if the patch is located
within thirty -six (36) inches of such
feature.
(8) If the transverse dimension of a patch is
greater than half the lane width, then
the patch shall be extended from the
curb or edge of road to the full lane width
or the centerline of the roadway, whichever
applies.
(9) If two (2) or more patches will be located
within forty -eight (48) inches of each
other in the transverse direction, and /or
within ten (10) feet of each other in the
longitudinal direction, they shall be
combined into a single larger patch.
(10) If a new patch is made within any por-
tion of an existing larger patch, then the
entire original patch shall be replaced.
(11) If a patch will extend over a lane edge or
centerline of the roadway, then the patch
shall be extended to the full roadway
width or nearest lane edge.
(c) Temporary patching may be allowed at the
discretion of the public works director and on
such terms and conditions as deemed appropri-
ate.
(d) The public works director shall inspect all
pavement restoration during and at the comple-
tion of such work. No pavement restoration will
be deemed complete until the public works direc-
tor has approved such work in writing.

usable sidewalk fronting such plot, the plans for
such construction must include provisions for
construction concurrently with the construction
of the building of a sidewalk in accordance with
specifications as set forth in section 24 -43. Subject
to the approval of the village engineer, such
sidewalk shall be built at the expense of the
owner of such property. No certificate of occupancy
shall be issued as to such building unless and
until such sidewalk is completed.
(b) The provisions of this section shall also
apply to permits for the repairs of existing
buildings upon any plot of land not improved by
such a paved and usable sidewalk in the case
where the total cost of such repairs, as determined
by the building inspector, shall equal or exceed
twenty -five (25) percent of the last assessed
village tax valuation of the buildings to be
repaired.
(c) Where a sidewalk would have to be
constructed under paragraph (a) of this section
in that it fronted on a dedicated public street,
and where a portion of such public street had not
yet been constructed, the provisions of such
paragraph shall be waived and the property
owner shall deposit with the village a sum of
money equal to the cost of constructing a sidewalk.
The cost of constructing such sidewalk shall be
determined by the building inspector securing
three (3) bona fide bids and taking the lowest
such bid as the determination of cost. It shall not
be necessary in acquiring these bids to publicly
advertise for same in a newspaper. The monies
acquired by the village in lieu of the construction
of a sidewalk under this subsection may be
added to the general fund and notation made
thereof on the building permit for such property.
Upon the construction of the street in the
dedicated right -of -way adjacent to the property
under construction, it shall be the obligation
