FROM: Joyce A. Parker, City Manager
SUBJECT: Roadway License Agreement with Commonwealth Edison
Company Associated with the Otter Creek Lift Station
PURPOSE
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members
of the City Council with information to consider executing a
Roadway License Agreement with Commonwealth Edison Company for the
purpose of installing an access roadway within their right-of-way.
BACKGROUND
In order to provide sanitary sewer service to future developments
west of Randall Road, a sanitary sewer lift station must be
constructed to pump sewage to the Bowes Road Interceptor Sewer at
Bowes and Randall Roads . The City acquired a parcel of property
located north of Hopps Road and east of the Union Pacific Railroad
tracks for the location of the proposed Otter Creek Lift Station.
There are no exiting roads adjacent to the property. Until the area
to the east develops, temporary access to the site must be provided
with a temporary road across adjacent property. After
unsuccessfully pursuing several alternatives, a road south from the
site to Hopps Road was determined to be the best one . Using this
route results in the road crossing Commonwealth Edison right-of-way
to create the entrance off of Hopps Road. A map (Exhibit A) is
attached showing the location of the lift station and entrance.
A request was submitted to Commonwealth Edison to construct the
lift station roadway entrance across their right-of-way.
Commonwealth Edison has agreed to allow the entrance within their
right-of-way and has provided the attached Roadway License
Agreement (Exhibit B) for City Council consideration. The agreement
allows the entrance to serve the site for ten years by which time
development in the area should have provided closer, alternate
access .

Subsequent to negotiations with Commonwealth Edison for this access
agreement, the City was approached by several potential developers
of the far west planning area with a request to consider an
alternate location along Bowes Road for the sewage pumping station
and associated force main. The developers felt that the proposed
Bowes Road site would have a lesser impact on future land planning
and it would also be easier to obtain required easements for the
force main. At that time the City agreed to consider the Bowes
Road site, thus eliminating the need for the access agreement with
Commonwealth Edison. However, after several recent meetings
between City staff, land owners and developer representatives, it
has been determined that the original proposed Hopps Road site
would best serve the majority of involved parties' needs .
Therefore, the subject access agreement needs to be executed. The
landowners/developers have also agreed to expedite acquisition of
easements for the sewer force main. These easements could be in
place by mid-July 2001 .
COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED
None .
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the Roadway License Agreement is $1, 500 and is
consistent with other easement agreements the City has entered into
with Commonwealth Edison. This expenditure will be charged to
account number 395-4200-795 . 92-32, project number 339505, Otter
Creek Lift Station. Sufficient monies are available to fund this
expenditure.
AVLEGAL IMPACT
