Body
Dear Sir:
The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority ("ISTHA") has requested a six (6) month permit to access District real estate located along the east side of Elmhurst Road from Willie Road to the east end of the I-90 westbound off-ramp to fully cut drainage ditches, install a storm sewer and remove trees that conflict with the work and to access District real estate at the southeast corner of Elmhurst Road and Oakton Street for the installation of temporary traffic signals. The referenced work is being done on land, which will be transferred to ISTHA pursuant to the Intergovernmental Agreement previously approved by the District at its September 4, 2014, meeting. All work is part of the construction of the Elgin-O'Hare Western Access Project.
The District's technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objections to issuing the permit to ISTHA. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary with governmental entities using District property for public purposes.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a six (6) month permit to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to access District real estate located along the east side of Elmhurst Road from Willie Road to the east end of the I-90 westbound off-ramp to fully cut drainage ditches, install a storm sewer and remove trees that conflict with the work and to access District real estate at the southeast corner of Elmhurst Road and Oakton Street for the installation of temporary traffic signals. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is further requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk be authorized and directed to execute said permit on behalf of the District after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:SM:MLD:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
