MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: City Manager
SUBJECT: Plat of Easement for Improvements
at 62 S. Geneva Street
PURPOSE: This memorandum will provide the Mayor and Council with
information to consider the acceptance of an easement for the
improvement of a retaining wall at the subject property.
BACKGROUND: The City Council approved a bid award to the low
bidder, Northwest Contractors , Inc. of Elgin, IL for the filling in
of a sidewalk vault at 62 S . Geneva Street at the City Council
meeting on June 14 , 1989 . Since that time, it was determined that
the proposed improvement could cause future problems and the
project was re-designed. The new design calls for a retaining wall
to be constructed at the site and to fill in the existing vault
with gravel.
In order to construct and maintain this wall, it is necessary to
obtain and accept a plat of easement from the owner of the proper-
ty, Paul F. Born, Jr. Mr. Born has granted the easement which is
included for your review on the attachment.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The only costs involved would be with filing the
easements with Kane County and these costs are minimal.
RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council accept the
Temporary Construction and Permanent Easements in order to con-
