CURB MODIFICATION
INFORMATION
PERMIT REQUIRED
A curb modification permit is required from any person desiring to remove the back of curb
where the driveway apron meets the street. The following conditions and requirements apply:
The only curb modification that may be approved is the removal of the
“barrier” portion of the existing curb. Approval of this method is subject to
inspection by the Village and is completed at the owner’s risk.
Removal and replacement of the driveway apron is required with any curb
modification.
The curb shall not be cut lower than a point one (0.1) inch above gutter. The
transition from the full height of the curb to a point one (0.1) inch above gutter
shall be 18-inches on both sides of the curb cut.
Excessive spalling after saw-cutting may require removal of the existing curb at
the Village’s discretion and at the applicant’s expense.
The Village reserves the right to make the Applicant return the curb and driveway
to its original condition at the expense of the Applicant if any negative impacts
occur following the curb modification.
All restoration associated with this work shall be completed within seven (7) days
of the completed work.
The approach shall have a street radius or straight flare of 3-feet on each side,
but not to exceed a maximum of 26-feet at the curb.
Issuing a permit by the Village is not intended as an in-depth quality assurance
review or inspection, and the Village does not assume responsibility for any
negative impacts resulting from the curb modification.
If the driveway/curb location is in an area having a Homeowner’s Association, the
property owner is obligated to check with the Homeowner’s Association to
ensure compliance with their regulations.
Allowable hours for construction within the Village are 6:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.
daily.
Curb modifications are authorized on a case-by-case basis.
APPLICATION CHECKLIST
All applications for a curb modification permit shall include the following items and information:
o a completed short-form permit application listing the contractor(s) performing the work.
o a certificate of insurance from the contractor listing the Village of Sugar Grove as an
additional insured
o valid contractor registration with the Village of Sugar Grove
o a cash security bond in the amount of $1,000. The surety is intended to ensure the
restoration of any disturbed areas and any damage to Village roadways and facilities
caused by or resulting from operations connected with the curb modification authorized
by the permit. Assuming the construction area is satisfactorily restored and there is no
damage to the street, the security bond will be returned to the applicant.
CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION
Any contractor engaged in or having obligation to do work where the scope of work requires a
building permit is required to be registered with the Village of Sugar Grove. If the contractor is
not currently registered with the Village, a registration application can be obtained from the
Building Division at 630.391.7220 or from the Village’s website www.sugargroveil.gov
INSPECTIONS REQUIRED
Prior to issuing the permit, an initial site inspection to assess the impact of the curb modification
on surface drainage and to document existing conditions will be performed. Once a curb
modification permit is issued, a pre-pour and a final inspection after pouring are required. The
owner/contractor is responsible for scheduling all required inspections. Please call 630.391.7220
to schedule the inspections. Please schedule the inspections by 3:30 PM THE DAY BEFORE you
want it.
PLAN REVIEW
Please allow 10 (ten) working days for processing.

way damage and restoration
