TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 18, 2014
COMMITTEE ON ENGINEERING
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to approve and execute a permanent stormwater utility easement agreement with the Village of Hanover Park for the construction and perpetual maintenance of storm sewers on the District's Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant property (As Revised)
Body
Dear Sir:
In connection with Sewerage Permit No. 13-304, it was necessary to provide a permanent stormwater utility easement to the Village of Hanover Park (Village) for the construction and perpetual maintenance of storm sewers on Hanover Park Water Reclamation Park (HPWRP) property.
In connection with proposed drainage improvements on property adjacent to the HPWRP, it is necessary to grant a permanent easement for the construction and perpetual maintenance of two 12-inch storm sewers. Currently, stormwater runoff flows overland from the property to the north onto HPWRP property, which results in standing water on District property leased to the Village. The new storm sewers proposed by the applicant will intercept uncontrolled overland flow and direct it to an existing drainage ditch on District property. The Engineering Department has reviewed the proposed improvements and found them acceptable.
It is respectfully requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it accept and approve the easement agreement with the Village for the construction and perpetual maintenance of storm sewers on District property at the HPWRP and that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance, the Executive Director, and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute said agreement on behalf of the District, as well as any documents necessary to effectuate the agreement, after it is approved by the Director of Engineering as to technical matters and by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Catherine A. O'Connor, Director of Engineering, WSS:JPM
Respectfully Submitted, Frank Avila, Chairman Committee on Engineering
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for September 18, 2014
