The following communication was then read: March 6, 1956 ;"'''',,''''''' -"'\~ Board of Local Improvements Municipal Building Mount Prospect, Illinois '~ a,.. <~~: Re: Proposed Special Assessment Paving Project - C.T.A. #55-271 , Gentlemen: Some weeks ago we were authorized by the Board of Local Improvements to prepare detailed plans and descriptive material, with estirrlates of' cost, for the construction of' paving improvements in Russell Street, Gregory Street, and Elmhurst Avenue to be financed under the Special Assessment Law. We have completed our f'ield surveys md are in the process 0 preparing the detailed plans. Bef'ore we proceed any further in the design of the paving improvements, however, we would like the Board's approval of proposed street widths to eliminate the possibility of revisions at a later date. In all of' the streets enumerated above the proposed im- provements will connect to existing improvements which weDe constructed from one to five years ago. The width of the existing improvements varies somewhat but all fall below the 31 feet, back to back, standard established by ordinance within the last year. The widths of' pavements which we are proposing at this time in order to meet existing improvements are as follows: 1. Gregory Street f'rom one-half' block west of Elmhurst Avenue to Elmhurst Avenue 25 ft., back to back. 2. Gregory Street f'rom Elmhurst Avenue to one-half' block west of' Pine Street 26 f't., back to back. 3. Elmhurst Avenue from Memory Lane to one (1) lot south of Gregory Street 27 ft., back to back. 4. Russell Street from Memory Lane to Gregory Street 27 ft. back to back, with installation of curb and gutter sou~ of' Gregory Street to the termination of the existing curb and gutter one (1) lot south. Before we continue with the design of these improvements, we hereby request approval of the aforementioned street widths if' the Board concurs in those proposed. If the Board of Loc~ Improvements desires that all streets be 31 ft. measured from back to back of curb, it will be necessary to flare out the curbs to the new pavement widths where such proposed im- provements abut against existing improvements which in many March 6, 1956 O() cases occurs in the middle of the block. Your early reply will be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, Consoer, Townsend & Asseciates By: William w. Townsend.
