Body
Dear Sir:
Commonwealth Edison Company (“ComEd”) has requested a 25-year easement to relocate its existing poles, electrical transmission lines, and related facilities onto District property located west of the District’s Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant (“Hanover Park WRP”). These electrical lines are currently located within the right-of-way of Barrington Road; however, ComEd is required to move them due to a municipal sewer project in the area.
The easement premises will be relocated on a 15’ x 129’ area immediately west of the Hanover Park WRP that is leased to the Village of Hanover Park (“Hanover Park”) for public recreational purposes. Hanover Park has indicated its consent to this easement.
The District's technical departments have reviewed the request and have no objections thereto. It is recommended that an initial annual easement fee of $5,000.00 be assessed as the pro-rata share of 10% of the fair market value of the easement premises would yield a fee less than the District's minimum fee of $5,000.00.
It is requested that the Executive Director recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it authorize the grant of a 25-year, 15’ x 129’ non-exclusive easement to Commonwealth Edison Company to install, construct, operate, maintain, repair, remove, and replace poles, electrical transmission lines, and related facilities over, under, across, and through District real estate located west of the District’s Hanover Park Water Reclamation Plant and along Barrington Road in the Village of Hanover Park. Consideration shall be an initial annual fee of $5,000.00.
It is also 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 May 18, 2023
