President & Board of Trustees April 6, 1954 Village Hall Mount Prospect, Illinois Re: Northwest Meadows Subdivision Gentlemen: On August K. 1q51 we sent a 1 att-oar +-n or*h„r n.. 4 05 in connection with the construction of pavement in Memory Lane in subject development, which, to date, is the only unimproved street in this development. A copy of this letter was sent to various Board members and an additional copy is attached hereto. To date we have not been furnished propf of any such agreement between the Village of Mount Prospect and the developer for the elimination of the pavement in Memory Lane. We are taking the liberty of advising you that, as far as we can determine at this time, the McIntosh Company is attempting to eliminate this pavement construction in their development. This, we believe, is a logical assumption, inasmuch as we have received no communication from them in reply or rebuttal to our letter of August 5, 1953. Pavement construction was clearly provided for in the plans prepared by this office and approved by the Village Board. In our opinion, it would be in order for the Board to go on record and direct the Clerk to send a letter to Arthur T. McIntosh & Company requesting that this pave- ment be installed as soon as the construction season commences. If this letter does not bring results, it would be our recommendation to withhold the issuance of any further building permits in the development referred to above. r ... If we can be of any additional assistance in this matter, please advise. Very truly yours, Consoer, Townsend & Assoc. By William W. Townsend A motion was made by Trustee Lange, seconded by Hinrichs, that the Clerk be instructed to write a letter to Arthur T. McIntosh & Co., as suggested by the Village Engineers.
