Body
Dear Sir:
At its October 15, 2015, meeting, the Board of Commissioners authorized the grant to the Northwest Municipal Joint Action Water Agency (“JAWA”) a 50-year easement on 31,521± sq. ft. of District real estate and a one (1) year temporary construction easement on 11,688± sq. ft. on District real estate located within the Majewski Reservoir site west of Elmhurst Road and south of I-90 in unincorporated Elk Grove Village to relocate its 72” water main as a result of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority’s (“ISTHA”), Elgin O’Hare Western Access Project.
Subsequent to the Board’s October 15, 2015 Orders, JAWA re-evaluated its land use needs under the subject easements and has now requested that the dimensions of the easements be changed by reducing the size of the 50-year easement from 31,521± sq. ft. to 10,849± sq. ft. and by increasing the size of the temporary easement from 11,688± sq. ft. to 14,080± sq. ft. The easement areas will result in adjusted easement fees under each easement.
An adjusted initial annual fee of $12,476.00 is recommended for the 50-year easement and an adjusted fee of $16,192.00 is recommended for the one (1) year temporary construction easement. These fees represent 10% of the fair market value of the land based upon appraisals used to establish the purchase price of the adjacent land recently purchased by ISTHA.
The technical departments have reviewed this request and have no objections thereto.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it amend its Orders of October 15, 2015, granting to the Northwest Suburban Municipal Joint Action Water Agency a 50-year, non-exclusive easement on 31,521± sq. ft. of District real estate and a one (1) year temporary construction easement on 11,688± sq. ft. of District real estate located within the Majewski Reservoir site in unincorporated Elk Grove Village to construct a 72” water main by reducing the size of the 50-year easement to 10,849± sq. ft., by increasing the size of the temporary easement to 14,080± sq. ft., reducing the consideration of the 50-year easement from an annual fee of $36,250.00 to $12,476.00 and increasing the consideration of the one (1) year temporary construction easement from $13,418.00 to $16,192.00
Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board order of October 15, 2015 be amended to effect the changes set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.
