Body
Dear Sir:
At its meeting of October 20, 2016, the Board of Commissioners (“Board”) authorized the grant of a 25-year, 2,624.20’ x 20’ (52,484 sq. ft.) non-exclusive easement to Commonwealth Edison Company (“ComEd”) to install, maintain, operate, repair and remove electrical transmission lines to provide additional electrical services to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (“Corps”) aquatic nuisance species barriers on a portion of District Main Channel Parcels 19.01 and 19.04 in Will County, Illinois, for an initial annual fee of $5,000.00.
Thereafter, ComEd re-evaluated its land use needs for this project and advised that only a 21,090 sq. ft. area on Main Channel Parcel 19.04 instead of 52,484 sq. ft. area on Parcels 19.01 and 19.04 is necessary to provide additional electrical services to the Corps’ aquatic nuisance species barriers project. The initial annual fee and all other aspects of the Board’s October 20, 2016 Orders shall remain as originally approved.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend that the Board of Commissioners amend its Orders of October 20, 2016, authorizing the grant of a 25-year, 2,624.20’ x 20’ (52,484 sq. ft.) non-exclusive easement to Commonwealth Edison Company to install, maintain, operate, repair, replace and remove electrical transmission lines and facilities on a portion of District Main Channel Parcels 19.01 and 19.04 in Will County, Illinois, to reflect a reduced area of 21,090 sq. ft. on a portion of District Main Channel Parcel 19.04.
