(A) When a person constructs one or more homes in a single block of a previously platted subdivision, he or she shall improve the street roadway in accordance with the requirements given herein and shall connect the street roadway to a primary street as defined in § 152.005, the connection being in accordance with the requirements given herein.
(B) The roadway cross section shall be as shown in §1 of the Appendix which follows this chapter. All materials and construction procedures shall be in accordance with the Standard Specifications of Road and Bridge Construction, State of Illinois, Department of Transportation, adopted July 1, 1976, or the latest revision thereof.
(C) General plans for roadway improvements shall be submitted with the application for a building permit. Building permits shall not be issued until roadway improvements are complete or a sum of money equal to 125% of the estimated cost of the street is put into escrow.
(D) The line and grade as well as drainage provisions of the proposed roadway shall be subject to the review of the Village Engineer and the Public Works Superintendent.
(E) When roadway construction is completed, an inspection by the Superintendent of Public Works and the Engineer shall be requested. The inspection shall be performed between 20 and 35 days after the date of request. The purpose of this time lapse is to allow some exposure to weather and traffic.
(1) Any defects noted during the inspection shall be remedied within 30 days after written notice by the Superintendent of Public Works or the Village Engineer. When the corrective work has been performed to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Works and the Engineer, the Village Board of Trustees may grant tentative approval. At this time monies escrowed as security against road construction will be released. The developer will be required at the same time to post a corporate surety bond in the amount of 10% of the cost of roadway construction to guarantee maintenance of the roadway for a period of one year from the date of tentative acceptance. Cash or a suitable bank letter of credit may be substituted for the surety bond.
(2) When the aforesaid year has lapsed, the Superintendent of Public Works and the Engineer shall perform a final inspection. Any remaining defects shall be remedied within 15 days of final inspection. When this corrective work has been performed, the Village Board shall grant final acceptance and at that time the surety bond shall be released. Where unusual conditions so warrant, the Village Board may alter the terms set forth in this section.
(F) Where it is intended the sanitary and/or storm sewers and/or water mains be constructed as part of the complete street improvement, subgrade and ditches shall be cut in prior to sewer and water main construction.
