TRANSMITTAL LETTER FOR BOARD MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 1, 2016

 

COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE

 

Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director

 

Title

Authority to issue a 90-day permit to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to conduct soil borings on District Main Channel Parcels 31.01, 31.02 and 31.03 located adjacent to a segment of I-294 known as the Mile-Long Bridge in Willow Springs.  Consideration shall be $10.00

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

The Illinois State Toll Highway Authority (“ISTHA”) is planning to rehabilitate the Mile-Long Bridge, which is a segment of I-294 from 95th Street to Balmoral Avenue.  The District owned land located within this stretch of highway are Main Channel Parcels 31.01, 31.02 and 31.03.  To prepare for the rehabilitation work, ISTHA has requested to access District Main Channel Parcels 31.01, 31.02 and 31.03 to conduct soil borings.  Main Channel Parcel 31.01 is currently vacant.  Main Channel Parcels 31.02 and 31.03 are currently under lease to the Cook County Forest Preserve District for public recreational use.  This permit will therefore be subject to the Cook County Forest Preserve District’s consent. 

 

The technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objections to ISTHA’s proposed soil borings.  A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as ISTHA is a governmental entity utilizing the property in furtherance of 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 90-day permit to the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority to conduct soil borings on District Main Channel Parcels 31.01, 31.02 and 31.03 located adjacent to a segment of
I-294 known as the Mile-Long Bridge in Willow Springs.  Consideration shall be $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 after same is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.

 

Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:NHB:vp

Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director

Respectfully Submitted, Mariyana T. Spyropoulos, Chairman Committee on Real Estate Development

Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for September 1, 2016
