PROPOSED AGREEMENT
Vendor: Kar Rack Corp. D/B/A Eden Lanes Bowling Alley, Westchester, Illinois
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the "Forest Preserves") to enter into an agreement
Reason: Eden Lanes Bowling Alley ("Eden Lanes") currently sits on a parcel surrounded by the Forest Preserves' Westchester Woods. A portion of Eden Lanes' parking lot and driveway pavement rests on a part of the Forest Preserves' parcel to the east of the business. In the Fall of 2012, the Forest Preserves' Board of Commissioners authorized the Forest Preserves to accept a donation of land from the owner of Eden Lanes in exchange for the granting of a license to operate and maintain that driveway and parking lot on Forest Preserves property (See Board Communication No. 12REAL0005). That license expired.
The Forest Preserves requests the authority to issue a new agreement for Eden Lanes to continue to utilize the portion of the parking lot and driveway over Forest Preserves land. The proposed agreement would allow for this nonexclusive parking, access, and maintenance by Eden Lanes after the payment of the one-time parking permit fee below. The agreement would not be assignable, and Eden Lanes would indemnify the Forest Preserves and maintain proper insurance throughout the agreement's term.
The Forest Preserves would also reserve the right to terminate the agreement for any public safety and nuisance issues occurring on the parking lot and driveway. The Forest Preserves has a right of first refusal for the property on which Eden Lanes currently sits, as the Forest Preserves had the same right under the license authorized in 2012.
