Body
Dear Sir:
On November 15, 2001, the District granted a 25-year, 20' x 90' non-exclusive easement to the City of Palos Heights on District real estate located south of the Cal-Sag Channel and east of Southwest Highway in Palos Heights, Illinois, on a portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 8.04 to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair and remove a 15-inch storm sewer. The easement expires on September 5, 2015. The easement was granted for a nominal fee of $10.00. At the time the easement was granted in 2001, it was issued with an effective date of September 6, 1990, due to a sewer permit issue.
The City of Palos Heights has requested a new 25-year, non-exclusive easement to continue to operate, maintain, repair and remove its 15-inch storm sewer.
The District's technical departments have no objections to the requested easement. Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 8.04 is under lease to the City of Palos Heights for a public walking trail and public recreational purposes until 2038. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary for governmental entities that use District property for public purposes.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the grant of a 25-year, 20' x 90' non-exclusive easement to the City of Palos Heights on District real estate located south of the Cal-Sag Channel and east of Southwest Highway in Palos Heights, Illinois, on a portion of Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 8.04 to continue to maintain, operate, repair and remove a 15-inch storm sewer. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is also 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 easement agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:NPE:ss
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development
