maintained by the property owners association; and

authority determines to vacate a highway under its jurisdiction, or part thereof, established within
a subdivision by a statutory plat, that authority may vacate such highway and convey the
highway authority’s interest in such highway to any bona fide organization of property owners of
the subdivision which (1) is so organized to be able to receive, hold and convey real property, (2)
has petitioned the highway authority for the vacation of the highway, and (3) undertakes to
develop the property for the use and benefit of the public; and
WHEREAS, the River Park Place Townhome Property Owners Association is an
organization of property owners of the River Park Place subdivision, is a qualified bona fide
organization of property owners as contemplated in 605 ILCS 5/9-127(b), and has petitioned the
City of Elgin pursuant to 605 ILCS 5/9-127(b) to vacate Dawson Drive, River Walk Court and
Festival Court and to convey such vacated streets to the River Park Place Townhome Property
Owners Association to allow such association to develop such property for the use and benefit of
the public; and

Court and Festival Court within the River Park Place subdivision and said property is not
necessary as dedicated public streets to serve the public.
