Body
Dear Sir:
At its meeting of January 3, 2008, the Board of Commissioners authorized the issuance of a 5-month permit for the Village of Wilmette to use 0.17 acres of District property located along the west bank of the North Shore Channel and near the intersection of Sheridan Road and Michigan Avenue at 831 Sheridan Road, Wilmette, Illinois, a/k/a North Shore Channel Atlas Parcel Number 1.05, for a temporary construction staging area to install storm drains. The current permit expired on May 31, 2008.
The original permit granted the Village a construction staging area for construction of the outfall storm sewers on the north side of the channel. The temporary cofferdams have been approved by the District. The Village requests a 60-day extension to make the connections and to restore the areas within the permit premises.
The subject land is leased to Wilmette Park District. The Village will be required to obtain the consent of the lessee before any extension is effective. The permit extension also will be subject to the District’s technical departments’ terms and conditions and require protection of District facilities in the area.
The previous permit was for a nominal fee, and a nominal fee is recommended for the extension.
It is requested that the General Superintendent recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the issuance of a 60-day permit extension to the Village of Wilmette for the use of District land located south of the intersection of Sheridan Road and Michigan Avenue and lying along the west bank of the North Shore Channel in Wilmette, Illinois, c/k/a part of North Shore Channel Atlas Parcel Number 1.05, for a temporary construction staging area to install storm drains. Consideration shall be $10.00.
It is further requested that the General Superintendent recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk to execute said permit extension agreement after it is approved by the Attorney as to form and legality.
Requested, Frederick M. Feldman, Attorney, FMF:CL:JCC:nm
