RESOLUTION NO. 78 - 12
A Resolution Adopting a Policy Concerning
Municipal Participation in Drainage Improvements
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Buffalo Grove
desire to provide for equitable administration of policies concerning
Village participation in drainage improvements; and,
WHEREAS, the establishment of a clear policy statement will
facilitate equitable administration of such policies;
NOW THEREFORE be it resolved by the President and Board of
Trustees of the Village of Buffalo Grove, Cook and Lake Counties,
Illinois :
That a policy statement is hereby adopted as follows :
The Village of Buffalo Grove participates in three
basic types of drainage improvements.
The first type of drainage improvements are related
to initial subdivision development. Village involvement
in this type of improvement is mandated by the Village
Subdivision Ordinance which requires conformance with
specific standards of drainage design and construction.
Village involvement in subdivision drainage improvements
includes review of the drainage elements of subdivision
construction plans and specifications for conformance
with Village standards, general engineering practice
and applicable state or other government jurisdiction
requirements. As a prerequisite of subdivision plat and
plan approval by the Board of Trustees, a formal guarantee
of construction in accordance with approved plans and
specifications is required. The Village Department of
Engineering Services monitors construction to insure
proper construction. Upon completion of proper construction,
a one-year maintenance guarantee is submitted to the Village
and the construction guarantee is released by the Board of
Trustees. The Department of Public Works is responsible
for implementing the provisions of the maintenance guarantee
through the one-year warranty period. The correction of
any drainage problem which becomes evident previous to the
expiration date of the warranty period is the responsibility
of the developer. The administration and enforcement of
the construction or maintenance guarantees are the respon-
sibility of the Village . Problems which occur in the storm
sewer system after the warranty period requiring maintenance
such as pipe failure repair or cleaning are the responsibility
of the Village. After the warranty period, problems which
result from changes in the condition of privately owned
properties such as landscaping modifications, lot settlement,
etc. , are the responsibility of the private property owner.
The second type of drainage improvement which the Village
may become involved with is drainage related capital improve-
ments which are performed in conjunction with public improve-
ments which provide benefits to large portions of the Village .
These improvements would not normally provide large benefits
to particular properties, but rather would provide benefits
of a more regional nature, such as the construction drainage
... _2�� fir(
improvements built in connection with major streets or
highways which restrict local property access for the
purpose of facilitating vehicle trips of a mile or more
from one area of the Village or region to another. This
type of improvement would normally be financed through
Village funds such as the General Fund, Motor Fuel Tax
Fund, or special state or federal grants.
The third type of drainage improvement which the
Village may become involved in would be a project which
primarily benefits particular local property owners. In
this case,the Village Board of Local Improvements would
initiate the improvement. This may be done upon the
receipt of a petition by local property owners. In this
case, the procedures set out for local improvement projects
in the Illinois Revised Statutes, Chapter 24, would be
followed. This provides for the financing of the project
in two basic portions, the amount of which are eventually
determined in the courts. The Village would pay for the
"public benefit portion" and the local property owners
would pay for the "private benefit portion" in proportion
to their own private benefit, all as determined by the
courts in accordance with state statutes.
