The proposal is to place the two new office buildings at the southeast corner of Euclid and Elmhurst Road into their own lots of record, Lots 2 and 3, with the balance of Randhurst Shopping Center as Lot 1. As part of a subdivision, it is required that rights-of-way be dedicated, and approximately 17 feet of Lot 1 along Kensington Road is required to be dedicated. The petitioner stated that a hardship would Page 4 - March 17, 1987 be created for the tenants of the.~buildings along Kensington Road if 17 feet 6f thei~ '~r°Perty was taken. It was also stated that at such time as the Illinois Department of Transportation schedules the widening of Kensington Road, then condemnation by that entity would be in order. A 10 foot area at the northwest corner of Rand and Elmhurst Roads is also required in order to improve that intersection. Mr. Conlon stated that the petitioner would be willing to dedicate that specific area.

The Village Manager, John Dixon, stated that if the Board did not ~cquire the ne~n~ary right-of-way for Kensington Road, that when that improvement is scheduled IDOT could interpret the Village's action as not interested in the project and might delay the improvement.
