Background
The proposed Oak Park Avenue streetscape project includes replacing the sidewalk up to the building face along Oak Park Avenue in the Hemingway Business District. This work will disturb the two existing driveways for the parking lot for the 150 S. Oak Park building. These are the only entrances to this parking lot. This easement will allow the Village to construct two temporary entrances off of the alley to the east of the building to allow uninterrupted access to the property during construction.
The Village has been working with the property owner to secure this easement. The easement is being donated to the Village at no cost but obligates the Village to remove portions of the existing fencing along the alley frontage and construct the new entrances to the property. At the end of the project, these areas are to be returned to pre-project conditions. The estimated cost of this work is $15,000 and will be paid for by the Oak Park Avenue Project.
This resolution approves the temporary easements for the 150 S Oak Park Avenue Property. In order to comply with Federal laws, the Village is required to fairly compensate property owners based on the fair market value of the easement areas for any easements not donated.
Timing Considerations
Adoption at this time will allow for the project to advance on a s suitable timeline.
