Work done and materials used for the construction of public improvements to serve new and future developments and for the reconstruction of existing facilities to upgrade existing infrastructure shall conform to the adopted standards. These standards shall apply to all improvements within existing and proposed public rights-of-way and public utility easements, to all improvements to be maintained by the city, and to all improvements for which the development code requires approval by the city engineer. [Ord. 543-2015 § 1 (Exh. A); Ord. 336 § 2, 1996].

Excepting persons under contract with the city of Dundee or employees of the city performing work for the city, no person shall begin to construct or otherwise perform any work on a public improvement without first obtaining a permit from the city engineer and paying the permit fees.

Any person who violates any of the provisions of said standards or fails to comply therewith, or who builds in violation of any detail statement of the standards or plans submitted and approved thereunder, or any certificate or permit issued thereunder, or who fails to comply with any such order as affirmed or modified by the city council or by a court of competent jurisdiction, is for each and every violation and noncompliance, respectively, subject to civil penalties in the amount of $1,000. The imposition of one penalty for any violation shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue. All such persons shall be required to correct or remedy such violations or defects within a reasonable time.
