EASEMENT REQUEST
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”) to grant permanent and temporary easements to the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) at the intersection of Golf Road and Barrington Road for safety improvements to the intersection and construction access.

The road will be widened, and the intersection’s trail connections will be re-built to Americans with Disability Act (“ADA”) standards. The term of the temporary easement is five (5) years, or completion of construction, whichever comes first.
The area for the permanent easements is 0.089 acres, or approximately 3,876 square feet, and the area for the temporary easements is 0.854 acres, or approximately 37,200 square feet. IDOT indicates that no trees are expected to be removed for this project.
Easement Fee: $3,950.00 for permanent easements and $6,100.00 for temporary easements
Tree Mitigation Fee: $0.00
