Body
Dear Sir:
On September 17, 1998, the District granted to the City of Evanston (“Evanston”) a 25-year, non-exclusive easement to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, and remove a storm sewer and appurtenances thereto on the north and south banks of the North Shore Channel where Green Bay Road intersects with Noyes Street and McCormick Boulevard in Evanston, Illinois; North Shore Channel Parcels 2.08, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13. The easement term commenced October 15, 1998, and expires October 14, 2023. Evanston has requested to renew its sewer easement. The easement traverses parcels which are all under lease to Evanston for public recreational use.
The District’s technical departments have reviewed Evanston’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 City of Evanston a 75-year, non-exclusive easement to continue to construct, reconstruct, operate, maintain, repair, and remove a storm sewer and appurtenances thereto on the north and south banks of the North Shore Channel where Green Bay Road intersects with Noyes Street and McCormick Boulevard in Evanston, Illinois; North Shore Channel Parcels 2.08, 2.11, 2.12 and 2.13. 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:MSZ:vp
Recommended, Brian A. Perkovich, Executive Director
