COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to issue a five (5) month permit to Rausch Infrastructure LLC to use a District roadway traversing Main Channel Parcels 30.05, 30.06, 31.01, 31.05 and 31.06 in Willow Springs, Illinois to access Old Willow Springs Road. Consideration shall be $5,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
Rausch Infrastructure LLC (“Rausch”) has requested a five (5) month permit to use a District roadway traversing Main Channel Parcels 30.05, 30.06, 31.01, 31.05 and 31.06 in Willow Springs, Illinois to access Old Willow Springs Road. Rausch is working on an Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) project to remove and reconstruct the Old Willow Springs Road Bridge (“Bridge”) crossing the Des Plaines River for use in connection with the Centennial Trail. As part of the Bridge’s reconstruction, Rausch requires use of the District’s roadway to deliver materials and equipment to a staging area located south of the Bridge on the Old Willow Springs Road IDOT right-of-way.
Main Channel Parcels 30.06, 31.05, and 31.06 contain the District’s drying beds and Main Channel Parcel 31.01 is currently vacant. Main Channel Parcel 30.05 is leased to Valvoline, Inc. and Valvoline, LLC.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objections thereto. A permit fee in the amount of $5,000.00 is recommended, as this amount represents 10% of the fair market value of the land based upon recent appraisals of nearby comparable sites.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a five (5) month permit to Rausch Infrastructure LLC to use a District roadway traversing Main Channel Parcels 30.05, 30.06, 31.01, 31.05 and 31.06 in Willow Springs, Illinois to access Old Willow Springs Road. Consideration shall be $5,000.00.
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 permit agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:CMM:BJD:vp
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Respectfully Submitted, Kari K. Steele, Vice 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 December 20, 2018
