Body
Dear Sir:
On November 1, 1990, the District granted a 25-year easement to the City of Evanston ("Evanston") to construct, maintain, operate, repair, and remove three (3) storm sewer outfalls to the North Shore Channel through North Shore Channel Parcels 2.07 and 2.09 in Evanston, Illinois. The subject easement expires October 31, 2015, and is subject to a $10.00 fee. The subject parcels are under lease to Evanston for public recreational purposes.
The easement comprises the following three areas: (1) a 20' x 60' area for a 36" storm sewer outfall located south of Colfax Street at Jackson Street; (2) a 20' x 170' area for a 36" storm sewer outfall located east of Bryant Avenue and north of Central Street and; (3) a 20' x 120' area for a 42" storm sewer outfall located east of Asbury Avenue and north of Lincoln Avenue.
Evanston has requested a new 25-year easement to continue to operate the outfalls. The District's technical departments have no objections to granting the easement for Evanston's continued operation of the outfalls. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary for governmental entities occupying District land for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it grant a 25-year, non-exclusive easement to the City of Evanston for the continued operation, maintenance, and repair of three (3) storm sewer outfalls to the North Shore Channel through North Shore Channel Parcels 2.07 and 2.09 in Evanston, Illinois. 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 easement agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:BEB:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
