1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| |||||||||||||||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| |||||||||||||||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| |||||||||||||||||||
4 | Section 5. The Illinois Highway Code is amended by | |||||||||||||||||||
5 | changing Section 9-113 as follows:
| |||||||||||||||||||
6 | (605 ILCS 5/9-113) (from Ch. 121, par. 9-113)
| |||||||||||||||||||
7 | Sec. 9-113.
(a) No ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, | |||||||||||||||||||
8 | wires, pipe line
or other equipment of any public utility | |||||||||||||||||||
9 | company, municipal corporation
or other public or private | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | corporation, association or person shall be
located, placed or | |||||||||||||||||||
11 | constructed upon, under or along any highway, or upon any
| |||||||||||||||||||
12 | township or district road, without first obtaining the written | |||||||||||||||||||
13 | consent of the
appropriate highway authority as hereinafter | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | provided for in this
Section.
| |||||||||||||||||||
15 | (b) The State and county highway authorities are
| |||||||||||||||||||
16 | authorized to promulgate
reasonable and necessary rules, | |||||||||||||||||||
17 | regulations, and specifications for
highways for the | |||||||||||||||||||
18 | administration of this Section.
In addition to rules | |||||||||||||||||||
19 | promulgated under this subsection (b), the State highway
| |||||||||||||||||||
20 | authority shall and a county highway authority may adopt | |||||||||||||||||||
21 | coordination
strategies and practices designed and intended to | |||||||||||||||||||
22 | establish and implement
effective communication respecting | |||||||||||||||||||
23 | planned highway projects that the
State or county highway |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authority believes may require removal, relocation,
or | ||||||
2 | modification in accordance with subsection (f) of this | ||||||
3 | Section. The
strategies and practices adopted shall include | ||||||
4 | but need not be limited to the
delivery of 5 year programs, | ||||||
5 | annual programs, and the establishment of
coordination | ||||||
6 | councils in the locales and with the utility participation | ||||||
7 | that
will
best facilitate and accomplish the requirements of | ||||||
8 | the State and county
highway authority acting under subsection | ||||||
9 | (f) of this Section. The utility
participation shall include | ||||||
10 | assisting the appropriate highway authority in
establishing a | ||||||
11 | schedule for the removal, relocation, or modification of the
| ||||||
12 | owner's facilities in accordance with subsection (f) of this | ||||||
13 | Section. In
addition, each utility shall designate in writing | ||||||
14 | to the Secretary of
Transportation or his or her designee an | ||||||
15 | agent for notice and the delivery of
programs. The
| ||||||
16 | coordination councils must be established on or before January
| ||||||
17 | 1, 2002. The 90 day deadline for removal, relocation, or | ||||||
18 | modification of the
ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, | ||||||
19 | wires, pipe line, or other equipment in
subsection (f) of this | ||||||
20 | Section shall be enforceable upon the establishment of
a | ||||||
21 | coordination council in the district or locale where the | ||||||
22 | property in question
is located. The coordination councils | ||||||
23 | organized by a county highway
authority shall include the | ||||||
24 | county engineer, the County Board
Chairman or his or her | ||||||
25 | designee, and with such utility participation as will
best
| ||||||
26 | facilitate and accomplish the requirements of a highway |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | authority acting under
subsection (f) of this Section. Should | ||||||
2 | a county
highway authority decide not to establish | ||||||
3 | coordination councils,
the 90 day deadline for removal, | ||||||
4 | relocation, or modification
of the ditches, drains, track, | ||||||
5 | rails, poles, wires, pipe line, or other
equipment
in | ||||||
6 | subsection (f) of this Section shall be waived for those | ||||||
7 | highways.
| ||||||
8 | (c) In the case of non-toll federal-aid fully | ||||||
9 | access-controlled State
highways, the State highway authority | ||||||
10 | shall not grant consent to the
location, placement or | ||||||
11 | construction of ditches, drains, track, rails,
poles, wires, | ||||||
12 | pipe line or other equipment upon, under or along any such
| ||||||
13 | non-toll federal-aid fully access-controlled State highway, | ||||||
14 | which:
| ||||||
15 | (1) would require cutting the pavement structure | ||||||
16 | portion of such
highway for installation or, except in the | ||||||
17 | event of an emergency, would
require the use of any part of | ||||||
18 | such highway right-of-way for purposes of
maintenance or | ||||||
19 | repair. Where, however, the State highway authority
| ||||||
20 | determines prior to installation that there is no other | ||||||
21 | access available for
maintenance or repair purposes, use | ||||||
22 | by the entity of such highway right-of-way
shall be | ||||||
23 | permitted for such purposes in strict accordance with the | ||||||
24 | rules,
regulations and specifications of the State highway | ||||||
25 | authority, provided
however, that except in the case of | ||||||
26 | access to bridge structures, in no such
case shall an |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | entity be permitted access from the through-travel lanes,
| ||||||
2 | shoulders or ramps of the non-toll federal-aid fully | ||||||
3 | access-controlled
State highway to maintain or repair its | ||||||
4 | accommodation; or
| ||||||
5 | (2) would in the judgment of the State highway | ||||||
6 | authority, endanger or
impair any such ditches, drains, | ||||||
7 | track, rails, poles, wires, pipe lines or
other equipment | ||||||
8 | already in place; or
| ||||||
9 | (3) would, if installed longitudinally within the | ||||||
10 | access control lines
of such highway, be above ground | ||||||
11 | after installation except that the State
highway authority | ||||||
12 | may consent to any above ground installation upon, under
| ||||||
13 | or along any bridge, interchange or grade separation | ||||||
14 | within the
right-of-way which installation is otherwise in | ||||||
15 | compliance with this
Section and any rules, regulations or | ||||||
16 | specifications issued hereunder; or
| ||||||
17 | (4) would be inconsistent with Federal law or with | ||||||
18 | rules, regulations or
directives of appropriate Federal | ||||||
19 | agencies.
| ||||||
20 | (d) In the case of accommodations upon, under or along | ||||||
21 | non-toll
federal-aid fully access-controlled State highways | ||||||
22 | the State highway authority
may charge an entity reasonable | ||||||
23 | compensation for the right of that entity to
longitudinally | ||||||
24 | locate, place or construct ditches, drains, track, rails, | ||||||
25 | poles,
wires,
pipe line or other equipment upon, under or | ||||||
26 | along such highway. Such
compensation may include in-kind |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compensation.
| ||||||
2 | Where the entity applying for use of a non-toll | ||||||
3 | federal-aid fully
access-controlled State highway right-of-way | ||||||
4 | is a public utility company,
municipal corporation or other | ||||||
5 | public or private corporation, association
or person, such | ||||||
6 | compensation shall be based upon but shall not exceed a
| ||||||
7 | reasonable estimate by the State highway authority of the fair | ||||||
8 | market value
of an easement or leasehold for such use of the | ||||||
9 | highway right-of-way.
Where the State highway authority | ||||||
10 | determines that the applied-for use of
such highway | ||||||
11 | right-of-way is for private land uses by an individual and not
| ||||||
12 | for commercial purposes, the State highway authority may | ||||||
13 | charge a lesser fee
than would be charged a public utility | ||||||
14 | company, municipal corporation or
other public or private | ||||||
15 | corporation or association as compensation for the
use of the | ||||||
16 | non-toll federal-aid fully access-controlled State highway
| ||||||
17 | right-of-way. In no case shall the written consent of the | ||||||
18 | State highway
authority give or be construed to give any | ||||||
19 | entity any easement, leasehold
or other property interest of | ||||||
20 | any kind in, upon, under, above or along the
non-toll | ||||||
21 | federal-aid fully access-controlled State highway | ||||||
22 | right-of-way.
| ||||||
23 | Where the compensation from any entity is in whole or in | ||||||
24 | part a fee, such
fee may be reasonably set, at the election of | ||||||
25 | the State highway authority,
in the form of a single lump sum | ||||||
26 | payment or a schedule of payments.
All such fees charged as |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | compensation may be reviewed and adjusted upward by
the State | ||||||
2 | highway authority once every 5 years provided that any such
| ||||||
3 | adjustment shall be based on changes in the fair market value | ||||||
4 | of an easement
or leasehold for such use of the non-toll | ||||||
5 | federal-aid fully
access-controlled State highway | ||||||
6 | right-of-way. All such fees received as
compensation by the | ||||||
7 | State highway authority shall be deposited in the Road Fund.
| ||||||
8 | (e) Any entity applying for consent shall submit such | ||||||
9 | information in
such form and detail to the appropriate highway | ||||||
10 | authority as to allow the
authority to evaluate the entity's | ||||||
11 | application. In the case of
accommodations upon, under or | ||||||
12 | along non-toll federal-aid fully
access-controlled State | ||||||
13 | highways the entity applying for such consent shall
reimburse | ||||||
14 | the State highway authority for all of the authority's | ||||||
15 | reasonable
expenses in evaluating that entity's application, | ||||||
16 | including but not limited
to engineering and legal fees.
| ||||||
17 | (f) Any ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, wires, pipe | ||||||
18 | line, or
other
equipment located, placed, or constructed upon, | ||||||
19 | under, or along a highway
with the consent of the State or | ||||||
20 | county highway authority under this
Section shall,
upon | ||||||
21 | written notice by the State or county highway authority be
| ||||||
22 | removed,
relocated, or modified by the owner, the owner's | ||||||
23 | agents, contractors, or
employees at no expense to the State | ||||||
24 | or county highway
authority when and as deemed necessary by | ||||||
25 | the State or county highway
authority for highway
or highway | ||||||
26 | safety purposes.
The notice shall be properly given after the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | completion of engineering plans,
the receipt of the necessary | ||||||
2 | permits issued by the appropriate State and
county highway | ||||||
3 | authority to begin work, and the establishment of sufficient
| ||||||
4 | rights-of-way for a given utility authorized by the State or | ||||||
5 | county highway
authority to remain on the highway right-of-way | ||||||
6 | such that the unit of local
government or other owner of any | ||||||
7 | facilities receiving notice in accordance
with this subsection | ||||||
8 | (f) can proceed with relocating, replacing, or
reconstructing | ||||||
9 | the ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, wires, pipe line, or
| ||||||
10 | other
equipment. If a permit application to relocate on a | ||||||
11 | public right-of-way is not
filed within 15 days of the receipt | ||||||
12 | of final engineering plans, the notice
precondition of a | ||||||
13 | permit to begin work is waived. However, under no
| ||||||
14 | circumstances shall this notice provision be construed to | ||||||
15 | require the State or
any
government department or agency to | ||||||
16 | purchase additional
rights-of-way to accommodate utilities.
| ||||||
17 | If, within 90 days after receipt of such
written notice,
the | ||||||
18 | ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, wires, pipe line, or | ||||||
19 | other
equipment
have not been removed, relocated, or modified | ||||||
20 | to the reasonable satisfaction
of the State or county highway | ||||||
21 | authority, or if
arrangements are not made satisfactory to the | ||||||
22 | State or county
highway authority for such removal, | ||||||
23 | relocation, or modification, the State
or county
highway
| ||||||
24 | authority may remove, relocate, or modify such ditches, | ||||||
25 | drains, track,
rails, poles, wires, pipe line, or other | ||||||
26 | equipment and bill the owner
thereof for the total cost of such |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | removal, relocation, or modification.
The scope of the project | ||||||
2 | shall be taken into consideration by the State or
county | ||||||
3 | highway authority in determining satisfactory arrangements.
| ||||||
4 | The State or county highway authority shall determine the | ||||||
5 | terms of payment
of those costs
provided that all costs billed | ||||||
6 | by the State or county highway authority
shall not be made
| ||||||
7 | payable over more than a 5 year period from the date of | ||||||
8 | billing.
The State and county highway authority shall have the | ||||||
9 | power to extend the
time of payment in cases of demonstrated | ||||||
10 | financial hardship by a unit of
local government or other | ||||||
11 | public owner of any facilities removed, relocated,
or modified | ||||||
12 | from the highway right-of-way in accordance with this
| ||||||
13 | subsection (f).
This
paragraph shall not be construed to | ||||||
14 | prohibit the State or county highway
authority
from paying any | ||||||
15 | part of the cost of removal, relocation, or modification
where | ||||||
16 | such payment is otherwise provided for by State or federal | ||||||
17 | statute or
regulation.
At any time within 90 days after | ||||||
18 | written notice was given, the owner of the
drains, track, | ||||||
19 | rails, poles, wires, pipe line, or other equipment may request
| ||||||
20 | the district engineer or, if appropriate, the county engineer | ||||||
21 | for a waiver of
the 90 day deadline. The appropriate district | ||||||
22 | or county engineer shall make a
decision concerning waiver | ||||||
23 | within 10 days of receipt of the request and may
waive the 90 | ||||||
24 | day deadline if he or she makes a written finding as to the
| ||||||
25 | reasons for waiving the deadline. Reasons for waiving the | ||||||
26 | deadline shall be
limited to acts of God, war, the scope of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | project, the State failing to
follow the proper notice
| ||||||
2 | procedure, and any other cause beyond reasonable control of | ||||||
3 | the owner of
the facilities. Waiver must not be unreasonably | ||||||
4 | withheld. If 90 days after
written notice was given, the | ||||||
5 | ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, wires, pipe
line, or | ||||||
6 | other equipment have not been removed, relocated, or modified | ||||||
7 | to
the satisfaction of the State or county highway authority, | ||||||
8 | no waiver of
deadline has been requested or issued by the | ||||||
9 | appropriate district or county
engineer, and no satisfactory | ||||||
10 | arrangement has been made with the
appropriate State or county | ||||||
11 | highway authority, the State or county highway
authority or | ||||||
12 | the general contractor of the building project may file a
| ||||||
13 | complaint in the circuit court for an emergency order to | ||||||
14 | direct and compel
the owner to remove, relocate, or modify the | ||||||
15 | drains, track, rails, poles,
wires,
pipe line, or other | ||||||
16 | equipment to the satisfaction of the appropriate highway
| ||||||
17 | authority. The complaint for an order shall be brought in the | ||||||
18 | circuit in which
the subject matter of the complaint is | ||||||
19 | situated or, if the subject matter of
the
complaint is | ||||||
20 | situated in more than one circuit, in any one of those
| ||||||
21 | circuits.
| ||||||
22 | (g) It shall be the sole responsibility of the entity, | ||||||
23 | without expense to
the State highway authority, to maintain | ||||||
24 | and repair its ditches,
drains, track, rails, poles, wires, | ||||||
25 | pipe line or other equipment after it is
located, placed or | ||||||
26 | constructed upon, under or along any State highway and in no
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | case shall the State highway authority thereafter be liable or | ||||||
2 | responsible to
the
entity for any damages or liability of any | ||||||
3 | kind whatsoever incurred by the
entity or to the entity's | ||||||
4 | ditches, drains, track, rails, poles, wires, pipe
line or | ||||||
5 | other equipment.
| ||||||
6 | (h) Except as provided in subsection (h-1), upon receipt | ||||||
7 | of an
application therefor,
consent to so use a highway may
be | ||||||
8 | granted subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent | ||||||
9 | with
this Code as the highway authority deems for the best | ||||||
10 | interest of the
public.
The terms and conditions required by | ||||||
11 | the appropriate highway authority may
include but need not be | ||||||
12 | limited to participation by the party granted consent
in the | ||||||
13 | strategies and practices adopted under subsection (b) of this | ||||||
14 | Section.
The
petitioner shall pay to the owners of property
| ||||||
15 | abutting upon the affected highways established as though by
| ||||||
16 | common law plat all damages the owners may sustain by reason of | ||||||
17 | such use of
the highway, such damages to be ascertained and | ||||||
18 | paid in the manner provided by
law for the exercise of the | ||||||
19 | right of eminent domain.
| ||||||
20 | (h-1) With regard to any public utility, as defined in | ||||||
21 | Section 3-105 of
the Public Utilities Act, engaged in public | ||||||
22 | water or public sanitary sewer
service that comes under the | ||||||
23 | jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission,
upon receipt | ||||||
24 | of an application therefor,
consent to so use a highway may
be | ||||||
25 | granted subject to such terms and conditions not inconsistent | ||||||
26 | with
this Code as the highway authority deems for the best |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | interest of the
public.
The terms and conditions required by | ||||||
2 | the appropriate highway authority may
include but need not be | ||||||
3 | limited to participation by the party granted consent
in the | ||||||
4 | strategies and practices adopted under subsection (b) of this | ||||||
5 | Section.
If the highway authority does not have fee ownership | ||||||
6 | of the property, the
petitioner shall pay to the owners of | ||||||
7 | property located in the highway
right-of-way
all damages the | ||||||
8 | owners may sustain by reason of such use of
the highway, such | ||||||
9 | damages to be ascertained and paid in the manner provided by
| ||||||
10 | law for the exercise of the right of eminent domain. The | ||||||
11 | consent shall not
otherwise relieve the entity granted that
| ||||||
12 | consent from obtaining by purchase, condemnation, or otherwise | ||||||
13 | the
necessary approval of any owner of the fee over or under | ||||||
14 | which the
highway or road is located, except to the extent that | ||||||
15 | no such owner has
paid real estate taxes on the property for | ||||||
16 | the 2 years prior to the
grant of the consent. Owners of | ||||||
17 | property that abuts the right-of-way but who
acquired the
| ||||||
18 | property through a conveyance that either expressly excludes | ||||||
19 | the property
subject to the right-of-way or that describes the | ||||||
20 | property conveyed as ending
at the right-of-way or being | ||||||
21 | bounded by the right-of-way or road shall not be
considered | ||||||
22 | owners of property located in the right-of-way and shall not | ||||||
23 | be
entitled to damages by reason of the use of the highway or | ||||||
24 | road for utility
purposes, except that this provision shall | ||||||
25 | not relieve the public utility
from the
obligation to pay for | ||||||
26 | any physical damage it causes to
improvements lawfully located |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | in the right-of-way. Owners of abutting
property whose | ||||||
2 | descriptions include the right-of-way but are made subject to
| ||||||
3 | the right-of-way shall be entitled to compensation for use of | ||||||
4 | the
right-of-way.
If the property subject to the right-of-way | ||||||
5 | is not owned by the
owners of the abutting property (either | ||||||
6 | because it is expressly excluded from
the property conveyed to | ||||||
7 | an abutting property owner or the property as conveyed
ends at | ||||||
8 | or is bounded by the right-of-way or road), then the | ||||||
9 | petitioner shall
pay any damages, as so calculated, to
the | ||||||
10 | person or persons who have paid real estate taxes for the | ||||||
11 | property as
reflected in the
county tax records. If no person | ||||||
12 | has paid real estate taxes, then the
public interest permits | ||||||
13 | the installation of the facilities without payment of
any | ||||||
14 | damages. This provision of this
amendatory Act of the 93rd | ||||||
15 | General Assembly is intended to clarify, by
codification, | ||||||
16 | existing law and is not intended to change the law.
| ||||||
17 | (i) Such consent shall be granted by the Department in the | ||||||
18 | case of a
State highway; by the county board or its designated | ||||||
19 | county superintendent
of highways in the case of a county | ||||||
20 | highway; by
either the highway commissioner or the county | ||||||
21 | superintendent of highways
in the case of a township or | ||||||
22 | district road, provided that if consent is
granted by the | ||||||
23 | highway commissioner, the petition shall be filed with
the | ||||||
24 | commissioner at least 30 days prior to the proposed date of the
| ||||||
25 | beginning of construction, and that if written consent is not | ||||||
26 | given by
the commissioner within 30 days after receipt of the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | petition, the
applicant may make written application to the | ||||||
2 | county superintendent of
highways for consent to the | ||||||
3 | construction. In the case of township roads, the county | ||||||
4 | superintendent of highways may either grant consent for the | ||||||
5 | construction or deny the application. The county | ||||||
6 | superintendent of highways shall provide written confirmation, | ||||||
7 | citing the basis of the decision, to both the highway | ||||||
8 | commissioner and the
applicant. This Section does not
vitiate, | ||||||
9 | extend or otherwise affect any consent granted in accordance
| ||||||
10 | with law prior to the effective date of this Code to so use any | ||||||
11 | highway.
| ||||||
12 | (j) Nothing in this Section shall limit the right of a | ||||||
13 | highway
authority to permit the location, placement or | ||||||
14 | construction or any ditches,
drains, track, rails, poles, | ||||||
15 | wires, pipe line or other equipment upon,
under or along any | ||||||
16 | highway or road as a part of its highway or road
facilities or | ||||||
17 | which the highway authority determines is necessary to
service | ||||||
18 | facilities required for operating the highway or road, | ||||||
19 | including
rest areas and weigh stations.
| ||||||
20 | (k) Paragraphs (c) and (d) of this Section shall not apply | ||||||
21 | to any
accommodation located, placed or constructed with the | ||||||
22 | consent of the State
highway authority upon, under or along | ||||||
23 | any non-toll federal-aid fully
access-controlled State
highway | ||||||
24 | prior to July 1, 1984, provided that accommodation was | ||||||
25 | otherwise
in compliance with the rules, regulations and | ||||||
26 | specifications of the State
highway authority.
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (l) Except as provided in subsection (l-1), the consent to | ||||||
2 | be granted
pursuant to this Section by the appropriate
highway | ||||||
3 | authority shall be effective only to the extent of the | ||||||
4 | property
interest of the State or government unit served by | ||||||
5 | that highway authority.
Such consent shall not be binding on | ||||||
6 | any owner of the fee over or under which
the highway or road is | ||||||
7 | located and shall not otherwise relieve the entity
granted | ||||||
8 | that consent from obtaining by purchase, condemnation or | ||||||
9 | otherwise
the necessary approval of any owner of the fee over | ||||||
10 | or under which the highway
or road is located.
This paragraph | ||||||
11 | shall
not be construed as a limitation on the use for highway | ||||||
12 | or road purposes
of the land or other property interests | ||||||
13 | acquired by the public for highway
or road purposes, including | ||||||
14 | the space under or above such right-of-way.
| ||||||
15 | (l-1) With regard to any public utility, as defined in | ||||||
16 | Section 3-105 of
the
Public Utilities Act, engaged in public | ||||||
17 | water or public sanitary sewer service
that comes under the | ||||||
18 | jurisdiction of the Illinois Commerce Commission, the
consent | ||||||
19 | to be granted pursuant to this Section by the appropriate
| ||||||
20 | highway authority shall be effective only to the extent of the | ||||||
21 | property
interest of the State or government unit served by | ||||||
22 | that highway authority.
Such consent shall not be binding on | ||||||
23 | any owner of the fee over or under which
the highway or road is | ||||||
24 | located but shall be binding on any abutting property
owner | ||||||
25 | whose property boundary ends at the right-of-way of the | ||||||
26 | highway or road.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | property that includes a portion of
a highway or road but is | ||||||
2 | subject to the highway or road shall not be
considered to end | ||||||
3 | at the highway or road.
The consent shall not otherwise | ||||||
4 | relieve the entity
granted that consent from obtaining by | ||||||
5 | purchase, condemnation or otherwise
the necessary approval of | ||||||
6 | any owner of the fee over or under which the highway
or road is | ||||||
7 | located, except to the extent that no such owner has paid real
| ||||||
