Willer: The undersigned represents Associated Constructors, Inc., owner of the property on which the new post office building for Mount Prospect is now being constructed. As you are aware, an error was made by the contractor in laying the foundation for this building, with the result that certain portions of the building now encroach upon the public street. The owner, though not personally at fault, must and does accept responsibility for this error. The premises in question are to be occupied by the U. S. Post Office Department under a long terrri lease. Before executing the lease, the post Office Department, will naturally want" to assure itself that the lessor has good title to the property. Unfortunately, due to the encroacbment, the ownel'S"~ title to the building is seriously impaired inasmuch as there exists a power in the Village of Mount Prospect, acting through some future Board of Trustees, to order the removal of that portion of the building which encroaches upon the street. The Chicago Title & Trust Company will note this encroachr~ent and will list it as an ob- jection in its title reports, thereby making it impossible for the owner to give the Post Office Department the necessary assurance of good title to the land and building. This matter could be resolved if the Village of Mount Prospect would vacate so much of the public street as is now occupied by the building. Since the total area involved is measured only in inches, there would be no interference with an'jl- thoroughfare nor vii th any sewer or water pipes or other utilities, and the interest of the residents of the Village of Mount Prospect would not be injured. Associated Constructors, Inc., is willing and does hereby offer to pay all costs in connection with such vacation. It also will be willing and does hereby offer to pay to the Village of Mount .ProsDect the reasonable value of the land vacated. The sum of ~$5o.00 is slJggested as a reasonable value. ~ (I J- The completion date under the tern:s of the lease proposal with t he Post Office Department is approaching rapidly. For this reason I ask that the-matter be considered urgent. Time is of the essence. Please be assured that my client will cooperate with the Village authorities and will do anything within reason which the Board of Trustees considers necessary in order to accomplish the desired purpose. February 19~ 1957 Thank you for your courtesy and consideration. sure that this problem can be solved in a manner mutually beneficial to the Village of Mount Prospect and my client.
