COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a one (1) year permit to the Village of Crestwood on 18 acres of District real estate located west of Cicero Avenue and south of the Cal-Sag Channel in Crestwood, Illinois; Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 11.04, to remove excess soil, rock, and spoil. Consideration shall be $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Village of Crestwood (“Crestwood”) has requested a one (1) year permit on 18 acres of District real estate located west of Cicero Avenue and south of the Cal-Sag Channel in Crestwood, Illinois, and known as Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 11.04 to remove excess soil, rock, and spoil therefrom. The materials were placed on the parcel during the widening of the Cal-Sag Channel. Approximately 25,000 cubic yards of spoil exits on the site.
Crestwood is undertaking this project so that most of the parcel can ultimately be made available for leasing pursuant to the statutory bidding process. Additionally, Crestwood has requested to lease an 8 acre portion of the parcel for public recreational use. A companion board letter is on today’s agenda seeking authority to enter into a 60-year lease with Crestwood on this 8 acre section.
The District’s technical departments have no objections to issuing a one (1) year permit to Crestwood to remove spoil from the site. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as Crestwood is a municipal agency utilizing the property for public purposes.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a one (1) year permit to the Village of Crestwood on 18 acres of District real estate located west of Cicero Avenue and south of the Cal-Sag Channel in Crestwood, Illinois; Cal-Sag Channel Parcel 11.04, 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 after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Ronald M. Hill, General Counsel, RMH:STM:CMM:vp
Recommended, David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, David J. Walsh, 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 April 6, 2017
