TEMPORARY EASEMENT AMENDMENT REQUEST
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County (“the Preserves”) to amend a grant of a temporary easement to the Illinois Department of Transportation (“IDOT”) at Winnetka Road at the Skokie River for 0.171 acres or 7,450 square feet.
Reason: IDOT plans to remove and replace the existing deck and superstructure of the Winnetka Road Bridge over the Skokie River. Permanent and temporary easements were granted for the project in 2012. The temporary easements expired in March 2017. As construction has not yet started, IDOT seeks a five (5) year extension on the temporary easements.
No structures are proposed to be built on the temporary easement.
The area for the temporary easement is 0.171 acres. IDOT indicates that a minimal number of trees are expected to be removed for this project.
Term: Five (5) years
Easement Fee: $1,200.00
Tree Mitigation Fee: Per the current Tree Mitigation Plan
Concurrence(s):
The Chief Financial Officer and Chief Attorney have approved this item.
The Preserves staff has reviewed this easement extension request and plans and have found them to be acceptable; therefore, it is recommended that the Forest Preserve District Board of Commissioners approve the issuance of this temporary easement extension.
District(s): 13
