Dear Sir:
Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) requests a 5-year temporary construction staging permit across District land containing approximately 0.199 acres (“Parcel A”) and approximately 0.185 acres (“Parcel B”) located along the east and west sides of the Central Avenue Overpass south of the Main Channel in Forest View, Illinois, which are part of Main Channel Parcel No. 38.13. IDOT states that the properties are needed to stage equipment to alter the configuration of the interchange, to widen the lanes, and the embankment in the area of Central Avenue between the Main Channel and Interstate 55. The properties are vacant at this time. IDOT has also requested a right-of-way acquisition of a third parcel which is directly adjacent to Parcel B and is addressed in a separate letter to the Board of Commissioners of even date herewith.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objection to the proposed permit.
It is recommended that the permit be issued for a nominal fee of $10.00, on the basis of reciprocal courtesy, advising that IDOT issues its permits to the District for a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and approve the issuance of a 5-year temporary construction staging permit to Illinois Department of Transportation to use District land containing approximately 0.199 acres and approximately 0.185 acres located along the east and west sides of the Central Avenue Overpass south of the Main Channel in Forest View, Illinois, being a part of Main Channel Parcel No. 38.13. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
