Lindenhurst OKs easement with Lake County Forest Preserve District to fix Rose Tree stormwater outfall
Summary
The board approved an easement agreement with the Lake County Forest Preserve District to repair a sunken stormwater outfall north of Rose Tree Lane in McDonald Woods, including a temporary construction easement, a 50/50 grant match (estimated not-to-exceed $50,000) and a permanent non-exclusive maintenance easement.
The Lindenhurst Village Board approved an easement agreement with the Lake County Forest Preserve District to allow repair of a sunken stormwater outfall north of Rose Tree Lane within McDonald Woods.
According to the minutes, the village's storm sewer structure extends into Forest Preserve property but lacked an easement. The agreement remedies that by providing a temporary construction easement for contractors, a permanent non-exclusive easement to the Village for maintenance of the repaired outfall, and an allocation of grant match costs split 50/50 between the parties with an estimated cost not to exceed $50,000.
Trustee Pat Dunham moved to approve the agreement and Trustee Ron Grace seconded. A roll call vote recorded ayes from Trustees Pat Dickson, Pat Dunham, Patty Chybowski, Dawn Suchy, Heath Rosten and Ron Grace; the motion carried 6-0.
The minutes do not record contractor selection or a construction schedule; the agreement sets roles and cost share but subsequent project steps will determine timing and budget execution.
