Summary: The Forest Preserves owns and maintains an existing access road on the north side of Schaumburg Road west of Bartlett Road that provides access to a former watchman residence in the Arthur L. Janura Preserve, also known as Poplar Creek. The Park District acquired adjoining property for a variety of improvements including a new community garden facility located behind other office and maintenance facilities and is seeking more direct access to the garden facilities via shared use of the Forest Preserves access road. In addition to proposed roadway improvements described above, the Park District will demolish a former watchman residence as part of a larger construction package for improvements on adjacent Park District land. The Park District will be responsible for design, construction and future maintenance costs associated with the project and for opening and closing the new access gate to the community garden area. No trees are proposed to be removed. The license fee, license application fee, and the YELAR fee will be waived in consideration of the proposed improvements at no cost to the Forest Preserves. The IGA constitutes a license for the Streamwood Park District to construct and maintain the access road for thirty (30) years, with successive automatic one (1) year renewal terms until terminated. Final agreement is subject to legal review and approval.
