MOUNTABLE CURB
A mountable curb is made of poured concrete that is 11 inches
high on the backside or the side away from the street and is eight
inches high on the street side. The combination of the curb and gutter
is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a mountable curb is twofold. A mountable
curb is used for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway
and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage
inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system. The secondary
purpose that a mountable curb serves is to permit a municipal street
to be constructed at a time when the various driveway approaches are
unknown. A mountable curb can be driven over with appropriate care
and caution.
TYPE D OR VERTICAL FACE CURB
A vertical face curb is a curb made of poured concrete that
is 12 inches high on the backside or the side away from the street
and is 7 1/2 inches high on the street side. The combination
of the curb and gutter is 30 inches wide. The purpose of a vertical
face curb is for conveying stormwater that drains from the roadway
and, to a smaller extent, abutting lands to a catch basin or drainage
inlet for conveyance in the stormwater drainage system as well as
providing a defined limit for a street.
No person, party, firm, or corporation shall
construct, modify, destroy, remove or repair any curb without first
obtaining a license from the Village Clerk and becoming prequalified
as a contractor in the Village. There shall be no fee for such license.
[Amended 6-15-2020 by Ord. No. 20-10]

for injury to one person and $ 1,000,000 for one accident and at least
$ 1,000,000 property damage or in such other amounts as the Board
shall determine. The policy shall be kept in effect until the termination
of a permit granted pursuant to this section.
