Introduction to Utility and Right-of-Way Permits

Utility and Right-Of-Way Permits are issued and inspected by the City of Urbana Engineering Division located in the Public Works Department at 706 South Glover Avenue in Urbana.

Any time an individual, contractor, or utility needs to perform work within the City owned right-of-way, whether in the road, along the sidewalk, on the shoulder or in the ditch, a Utility and Right-of- Way Permit is required. Any time an individual, contractor, or utility needs to perform work on a sanitary lateral regardless of location a Utility and Right-of-Way Permit is required.

The purpose of the permit is twofold: 1) to ensure that work conducted in the right-of-way does not constitute a danger to the traveling public or the individuals performing the work, 2) that the completed work does not degrade the right-of-way or City infrastructure thereby resulting in increased maintenance or replacement costs to the taxpayer.

What is Right-Of-Way?

The right-of-way is public property and includes any public thoroughfare such as a street, road or alley. It also usually includes the median, utility poles, sidewalks, and the area immediately adjacent to the street. A good rule of thumb is that the back of the sidewalk (side nearest to the residence) and the street is part of the right-of-way. Private property begins behind the right-of-way.

Utility and Right-Of-Way Standards Frequently Asked Questions

What Projects Require Utility and Right-Of-Way Permits?

Examples include:

• Sidewalk repairs

• Sewer or Storm line repairs and connections

• Driveway repairs or installations

• Culvert installations

• Storm drain installation

• Utility repair or installation

• Private water & sewer line repairs and connections

• Sidewalk construction where there is an existing curb

Landscaping work (i.e. gardening, planting) done in the City right-of-way requires a Landscape License not a Utility and Right-Of-Way Permit.

If you need assistance in determining if your project requires a Utility and Right-Of-Way Permit please contact the Engineering Division at (217) 384-2342.

Please submit your completed application at least 24 hours prior to the commencing any activity in the right-of-way requiring a permit. A minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required for inspections by Public Works personnel. That will provide the time necessary to verify accuracy of your paperwork and to schedule an inspection time. Keep in mind that road closures require a 72 hour advance warning.

How long is my Utility and Right-Of-Way Permit good for?

The Utility and Right-Of-Way Permit is good for the duration of the specific project location that the Permit was applied for. A Utility and Right-of-Way Permit cannot be used at multiple locations.

What happens if I do not get a Utility and Right-Of-Way Permit for my project?

Failure to obtain a permit for work being performed in the City right-of-way or on a sanitary lateral carries a minimum fine of $160.

If concrete is to be poured as part of the project, applicant must contact the Engineering Division at (217) 384-2342 for an inspection prior to the placement of any concrete.

QUICK REFERENCE TO TREE PROTECTION ZONE

Tree/Shrub Protection (above ground)

The contractor or permit holder shall be responsible for protecting all public trees and shrubs located on the public right-of-way. Existing trees/shrubs subject to construction activity shall be boxed, fenced or otherwise protected before any work is started. The trees/shrubs to be protected, the method of protection, and the dimensions involved shall follow the guidelines of the City Arborist, or if special conditions warrant adjustment, be determined by the City Arborist in conjunction with the contractor or permit holder. Once assembled, no boxing, fencing or other protection device shall be removed without prior approval of the City Arborist or City Inspector and there shall be no construction activity or material within the enclosure.

Shrubs and small trees shall be boxed or fenced in such a manner as to encompass the entire drip line area of the tree (Figure 1). In no case shall the enclosure be less than 4 feet from the center line of the tree. Medium to large trees shall be boxed or fenced in a manner to encompass as much of the drip line area of the tree as possible as determined by property and right of way boundaries (Figure 2). In no case shall the protective device be closer than 12 feet from the center line of the tree except in those portions bordered by the public sidewalk or curb, in which case the protective device shall be offset 1 foot wherever possible.

Tree Diameter Distance of fencing from tree trunk *

Up to 4 inches Min 4 feet

4.1 – 9 inches Min 6 feet

9.1 – 14 inches Min 12 feet

14.1 – 19 inches Min 16 feet

19.1 and greater Min 20 feet

*Minimum distances listed are required unless waived by City Arborist. If available space permits greater distances for tree protection a distance of one foot from tree trunk for every one inch in tree diameter is preferred but not required.

12’

Utility Installations (underground)

All installations of underground utilities upon the public right-of-way are subject to approval by the City. Any and all installations that impact on public trees due to underground conflicts (roots) are specifically subject to the review and approval of the City Arborist before the project starts.

Trenching and Tunneling – Open trenching in the root zone of public trees is prohibited unless it falls outside the drip line of a tree’s canopy (Figure 3). All trees where there is insufficient space to bypass the drip line by trenching must be tunneled. In no case shall the tunnel be less than 2 feet in depth. When the tunneling procedure is required, the distance of the tunnel from the face of the tree is determined by the diameter of the tree 4 1/2 feet above the ground line. Unless specified otherwise by the City Arborist, all dimensions apply as illustrated in Figure 4 with the quick reference table.

Since the cutting of larger roots is unavoidable in a trenching operation, all roots over 2 inches in diameter must be cut cleanly. All trenches should not stay open longer than necessary and must be properly barricaded.

Tree Diameter (a) (at 4 1/2 feet above ground)

Distance of trenching from tree trunk (b)

Recommended depth of tunnel or trench (c)

Up to 4 inches Min 4 feet 24 inches

4.1 – 9 inches Min 6 feet 30 inches

9.1 – 14 inches Min 12 feet 30 inches

14.1 – 19 inches Min 16 feet 36 inches

19.1 and greater Min 20 feet 36 inches

*Minimum distances listed are required unless waived by City Arborist. If available space permits greater distances for tree protection, such as to drip line, are preferred but not required.

Augering - Tree root zones shall be protected by augering in the manner described below. Tree diameter is measured 4 1/2 feet above the ground. The minimum depth of auger within the tree protection zone, as defined above, shall be 24 inches below the soil surface. No trenching within the protection zone of the tree shall be permitted.

Tree Diameter Augering Instructions

Up to 4 inches Auger 4 feet from the face of tree in all directions if trench will be located within or intersect this radius.

4.1 – 9 inches Auger 6 feet from the face of tree in all directions if trench will be located within or intersect this radius.

9.1 – 14 inches Auger 12 feet from the face of tree in all directions if trench will be located within or intersect this radius.

14.1 – 19 inches Auger 16 feet from the face of tree in all directions if trench will be located within or intersect this radius.

19.1 or greater Auger 20 feet from the face of tree in all directions if trench will be located within or intersect this radius.

SEWER LATERAL ABANDONMENT

The sewer service lateral shall be exposed and properly sealed at a point outside the limits of demolition, within five feet of the property line or easement boundary. Sewer service laterals that are to be abandoned will be securely closed at the pipe end with a cap fitting or plug. Cap fittings shall be manufactured and provide a watertight seal, without the use of adhesives or epoxies. All pipe cap fittings shall be subject to approval by the Public Works Director or their designee prior to installation.

Contractor shall provide at least 3 dimensional ties to the end of the abandoned lateral to the Utility and Right-of-Way Inspector.

Properties may re-use previously sealed and abandoned sewer service laterals. Sewer laterals must have an internal television inspection completed all the way to the public sewer pipe prior to re-use of the lateral. The Director of Public Works or their designee must review televising report and pipe data (material and diameter) and approve re-use of a sewer lateral. Property owner is solely responsible to assure the condition of the remaining pipe to be re-used.

SIGNS IN PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY

Signs that are for short-term, timed use shall be allowed in the City’s right-of-way as long as the signs are removed immediately following the event. Such signs would include garage sale signs, political campaign signs, significant University of Illinois events (i.e. IHSA tournaments) and fund-raising advertisements for non-profit agencies (i.e. UBA events, Festival of Lights).

No such signs shall be affixed to any City or utility infrastructure including traffic signals, streetlights, street sign posts, utility poles, hydrants, etc. but rather shall be attached to a self-supported stake or post.

Signs that have no definitive time for removal shall not be allowed in the City’s right-of-way. Such signs would include newspaper stands, real estate signs, and home business signs or advertising, except as allowed in the Urbana Zoning Ordinance, Section IX-5-13.

If these signs were placed in the right-of-way, the City will attempt to notify the owner of the signs and ask that the signs be removed immediately (within 48 hours). If the owner cannot be located or does not remove the signs, the City shall remove the signs and notify the owner where to collect the signs. If the owner of the signs cannot be located, the signs will be discarded after thirty (30) days. Otherwise, the signs would be discarded five (5) days after notification.

The owner of a property may remove any political campaign sign directly in front of said property placed in the public right-of-way.

DIRECTIONAL SIGNS

IN PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY

I. GENERAL

Need for Supplemental Signing

It is frequently desirable to inform drivers of major traffic generators and certain motorist services in the area. Information relating to those developments that generate a large volume of non-repetitive traffic foreign to the area are shown on supplemental guide signs when they meet the required criteria outlined in this policy.

This policy has been developed to regulate and ensure the consistent use of supplemental guide signs for traffic generators and motorist services. This policy applies to all guides and information signing placed on City-maintained right-of-way.

Purpose of Criteria and Limitations

Criteria are necessary for determining which traffic generators and motorist services are displayed on supplemental guide signs so that the facilities shown are the one generating the greatest need for information on the part of motorists unfamiliar with an area.

Such criteria must also limit the number of signs installed, thereby minimizing the confusion that may occur when motorists are presented more information than they can rapidly comprehend. It also assures fair and consistent treatment of requests for signing to such facilities.

The establishment of criteria, however, does not mean that information concerning all facilities which meet the criteria will automatically be shown on supplemental guide signs. Signing for traffic generators and motorist services is considered as secondary to basic regulatory, warning, and directional signing. Therefore, before a supplemental guide sign for a traffic generator or motorist service is installed, sufficient longitudinal space along the highway must exist to accommodate the placement of the sign without interfering or conflicting with other necessary traffic control devices.

Revised 01/01/2022 DETAIL SIG-02 43

Consideration will also be given to such factors as the space available along streets and the congestion of the area.

Signing for a motorist service or traffic generator, when qualified under the criteria in Table 1 or 2, will be installed by the City only after a request is received from an official of either type of facility.

II. SIGNING FOR TRAFFIC GENERATORS

Criteria for Traffic Generator Signing

The following types of traffic generators are to be considered for signing. The specific qualifying criteria for each type of traffic generator are shown in Table 1. Those values that vary annually, such as student enrollment or annual attendance, shall be based upon the average value for the two previous years.

• Transportation Facilities

• Educational Institutions

• Correctional Institutions

• Health Care Facilities

• Recreational & Cultural Facilities

• Historical Facilities

• Government Facilities

• Business Districts

Supplemental guide signs for the qualifying generator shall be erected in advance of the street or road that provides the most logical and convenient route to the facility. In determining whether there is adequate signing to direct the motorist to the facility the City will consider such factors as the directness of the route, the miles involved, and the environment in which signs are installed.

Information relating to more than three facilities shall not be displayed in advance of an intersection.

Revised 01/01/2022 DETAIL SIG-04 45

In the event there are more than three qualifying traffic generators, the three facilities most necessary to the motorist shall be shown. In determining which signs are most necessary, the City will consider such factors as the amount of traffic generated, closeness to the intersection, and the ease of locating the facility.

Reference to a specific traffic generator shall be removed at such time as that generator is no longer functioning or fails to meet the criteria.

Location of Signs

If a separate supplemental guide sign is erected, it shall be located at least 200 feet in advance of the primary guide sign, if one exists. If a primary guide sign is not present, the supplemental sign shall be placed 200 to 700 feet in advance of the intersection.

Sign Design

The legend and background colors shall be as shown in Table 1. If different color(s) and logo(s) are desired than shown in Table 1; approval must be granted by the Committee of the Whole. Signs normally carry the full name of the traffic generator(s) and appropriate arrow indications, however, appropriate abbreviations and logo symbols may be considered.

Revised 01/01/2022 DETAIL SIG-05 46

Criteria for Motorist Service Signing

The following types of motorist services are to be considered for signing. The specific qualifying criteria for each type of motorist service are shown in Table 2.

• Camping Facilities

• Police and County Sheriff Headquarters

• Hospitals

• Tourist Information Centers

In determining whether adequate directional information is provided, the City will consider factors which include, but are not limited to, the directness of the route, the miles involved, and the environment in which the signs are installed.

Reference to a specific motorist service shall be removed at such time as that service is no longer available or fails to meet the criteria.

Location of Signs

The location of signing for motorist’s services shall conform to the requirements for traffic generator signs covered in Section II (B). Hospital symbol signs for hospital meeting the criteria established in Table 2 are to be located in advance of the intersection that provides the most direct and best route to the facility. In determining the most direct and best route, the City will consider all relevant conditions including directness of the route, congestion of the route, speed of travel, length of travel, and ease of locating the facility.

Sign Design

Motorist service signs shall have a white legend on a blue background and all shall indicate only the type of service available and an appropriate arrow. Qualifying hospitals will be signed with a Hospital Symbol sign as opposed to the work message, “HOSPITAL.” The hospital name shall be displayed on a plate above the hospital symbol sign where two or more qualifying hospitals are served by the same route.
