Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a 2-year permit to the Village of Crestwood on 41.22+/- acres of District real estate located between Cicero Avenue and Kostner Avenue in Crestwood, Illinois and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 12.05 to remove excess soil, rock and spoil. Consideration shall be $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Village of Crestwood ("Crestwood") has requested a 2-year permit on 41.22+/- acres of District real estate located between Cicero Avenue and Kostner Avenue in Crestwood, Illinois and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 12.05 ("Property") to remove excess soil, rock and spoil therefrom. The materials were placed on site during the widening of the Cal-Sag Channel. The Property currently contains approximately 706,000 cubic yards of such materials. In 2003, the District issued a permit to Illinois Mining, now known as IM Crushing, LLC ("IM"), to remove all of the rock and spoil from the Property. As extended, IM's permit expired October 31, 2014. During its permit term, IM removed approximately 600,000 cubic yards of spoil and rock.
Crestwood has requested to enter the Property to remove the spoil, rock and dirt therefrom so that it can ultimately be made available for leasing pursuant to the statutory bidding process. Crestwood is proposing to bring the Property to grade level.
A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Crestwood is a municipal entity utilizing the Property for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 2-year permit to the Village of Crestwood on 41.22+/- acres of District real estate located between Cicero Avenue and Kostner Avenue in Crestwood, Illinois and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 12.05 to remove excess soil, rock and spoil. Consideration shall be $10.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute the permit agreement 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:STM:ss
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
