PROPOSED LICENSE REQUEST
Request: Requesting authorization for the Forest Preserves of Cook County (the “Forest Preserves”), as Licensor to grant a License to the Village of Morton Grove, Grantee, to locate, operate and maintain a 1,290 linear foot 12” water main in Linne Woods. The line would be directionally bored underground, but construction of the east bore pit would impact the roots of five (5) living trees, resulting in tree mitigation fees. In practice, more trees may need to be removed than originally estimated. Any increase in the tree mitigation fee will be in accordance with the Tree Mitigation Plan (see Board Item No. 20-0279), and if such increase is more than 20% of the original estimate, then approval will be sought from the Forest Preserves of Cook County Board of Commissioners. Construction will also require intermittent closures of the North Branch Bicycle Trail during the winter months. The Village of Morton Grove will provide Forest Preserves staff with advanced notice of trail closures and post advanced warning signs.
