COMMITTEE ON REAL ESTATE
Mr. Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Title
Authority to grant a 25-year, approximately 20’ x 1,026’ non-exclusive easement to the Village of Forest View to operate, maintain, repair, and remove a 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer along Forest View Terminal Drive in Forest View, Illinois; Main Channel Parcels 37.02 and 37.11 (portion). Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00
Body
Dear Sir:
The Village of Forest View (“Forest View”) recently undertook the Wenonah Avenue Basin Flooding Relief Improvements Project, approved by the District under WMO Permit No. 2020-017, Revision RL 24-046. As part of the approved WMO permit revision, Forest View reconstructed a 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer (originally installed under MWRD Permit No. 68-010).
Since a portion of the reconstructed sewer crosses District property, Forest View requires a 25-year, 20’ x 1,026’ non-exclusive easement to operate, maintain, repair, and remove that 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer.
The proposed easement traverses the KM Phoenix Holdings, LLC (Main Channel 37.02) and part of MAB 2 Trucking, Inc. (Main Channel Parcel 37.11) leaseholds. The tenants are aware of the Village’s project along Forest View Terminal Drive.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed Forest View’s permit request and have no objections thereto. A nominal fee of $10.00 is recommended as is customary for governmental entities using District property for a public purpose.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it issue a 25-year, approximately 20’ x 1,026’ non-exclusive easement to the Village of Forest View to operate, maintain, repair, and remove a 15-inch diameter sanitary sewer along Forest View Terminal Drive in Forest View, Illinois; Main Channel Parcels 37.02 and 37.11 (portion). Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $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 easement agreement after it is approved by the General Counsel as to form and legality.
Requested, Susan T. Morakalis, General Counsel, STM:BJD:MM:vp
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for March 6, 2025
