Body
Dear Sir:
On August 7, 1997, the District granted a 25-year non-exclusive easement to the Village of Crestwood (“Crestwood”) to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, and remove a storm sewer located at Central Avenue and the Calumet-Sag Channel in the Village of Crestwood, Illinois, on Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 10.03 and 11.03. The easement term commenced August 7, 1997 and expires August 6, 2022.
Crestwood has requested to continue to operate the storm sewer easement for another 25-years. The easement area includes a 30-ft.-wide strip of land approximately 150 feet long, traversing under Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 10.03 and 11.03. Parcel 10.03 is under lease to Trinity Christian College, and parcel 11.03 is under lease to the Alsip Park District. Both leases reserve the right for the construction, operation, maintenance, repair, renewal, and relocation of sewers under and across the parcels.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed Crestwood’s 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 grant to the Village of Crestwood a 25-year non-exclusive easement to continue to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, and remove a storm sewer located at Central Avenue and the Calumet-Sag Channel in the Village of Crestwood, Illinois, on Cal-Sag Channel Parcels 10.03 and 11.03. Consideration shall be a nominal fee of $10.00.
It is also requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize and direct the Chairman of the Committee on Finance and the Clerk 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:MTC:NOC:vp
