General
► We have contacted the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and submitted an Agency
Action Report application to the Department for review. We understand the IDNR will do an
environmental audit to determine whether endangered or threatened species are present on the
subject property.
► If a reference to an inter - governmental agreement (between Village of Lemont and Lemont
Park District) is needed, we suggest the following language in the recitals: "Lessor
acknowledges Lessee intends to enter into an Inter - Governmental Agreement with the
Lemont Park District for the purposes of developing the subject property consistent with the
stated terms of the lease. Lessee agrees to provide a copy of the Lemont Park District
Agreement to the Lessor which shall be subject to their approval."
First Paragraph ( "THIS INDENTURE... ")
• "Village of Lemont" is the Lessee, with principal offices at "418 Main Street. Lemont. Illinois
60439."
1.01 DEMISED PREMISES
• Exhibit A will be a legal description of two MWRD parcels, numbered 24.05 and 25.02 in the
MWRD Channel Atlas. Please provide the complete legal descriptions and plats of survey of
these two parcels. (The Sidwell Atlas indicates that the Cook County portion includes lot 197,
lot 198, and part of lot 200, all in Sanitary District Trustees Subdivision Township 37 North,
Range 11 East, recorded March 31, 1908 as document 4180218. The Du Page County
portion appears to be lots 10 & 11 of Sanitary District of Chicago Subdivision of Secs. 1, 11,
14, 15 and 16 of Township 37 North, Range 11 East [no recording date or document
number].)
► The demised premises are in both County of Cook and County of DuPage.
1
• The subject parcels consist of 86.16 acres, according to the Charnel Atlas, or 3,753,130
square feet The area of the subject property needs to be verified.
1.02 TERM OF LEASE
• We understand the term of the lease should be 39 years.
• The beginning date will be the date of MWRDGC Board approval.
2.01 RENT AND ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION
► The basic annual rental payment is a nominal rate of $10.00.
► Sub - paragraph C. ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION - (NON- RENT), should state that
"Lessor will not engage in any `for profit' venture nor allow any sub - lessee to engage in such
activity without the express written consent of Lessor. In the event the Lessee should be
desirous of using the property for purposes of generating revenue in excess of operating
expenses. the Lessee shall pay fifty percent (50 %) of such sum to the Lessor as additional
rent."
3.06 LESSEE TO PAY TAXES...
• DuPage County currently assesses taxes on MWRD parcel number 25.02. According to the
Downers Grove Township Assessor, the 2000 taxes on parcel 10 -15- 302 -001 were $2,198.04
and parcel 10- 16- 403 -001 were $257.98, making the total tax liability $2,456.02. The Village
agrees to pay any real estate taxes owed under the existing language in paragraph 3.06.
3.07 USE OF DEMISED PREMISES
► Please insert the following project description: "It is understood that the Demised Premises
are to be used by said Lessee for the sole and exclusive purpose of public open space
preservation and recreational uses including but not limited to hiking, primitive camping,
fishing, and bicycling. in accordance with improvement plans subject to Lessor's reasonable
review and approval, and for no other purpose whatsoever.'
2
5.01 GENERAL ENGINEERING RESERVATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS
► Paragraph F requires the Lessee to "relocate or remove" improvements within 90 days if the
District determines the demised premises are needed for corporate purposes. This seems to
give MWRD the ability to reclaim all or part of the leased area on very short notice. Are there
assurances elsewhere that the Village and Park District investment will be protected?
► The term "Main Channel" should be used to complete the blanks in paragraphs J and L.
6.01 CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENT and 6.02 TIME OF CONSTRUCTION
• We request two (2) years for commencement of the project and five (5) years for completion
of the project under these paragraphs.
10.10 COMPLIANCE (ENVIRONMENTAL)
• The Village is willing to perform a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment as required under the
Lease.

Natural Heritage Database Review # 0100552
Dear Mr. Teddy:
Thank you for submitting this project located in Sections 15, 16 & 21, Township 37 North,
Range 11 East for consultation in accordance with the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act
[520 ILCS 10 /11], the Illinois Natural Areas Preservation Act [525 ILCS 30/17], and Title 17
Illinois Administrative Code Part 1075.
The Natural Heritage Database identified that Lemont East Geological Area Illinois Natural Area
is located in the eastern quarter of the proposed project area. No development or other
improvements within this Illinois Natural Area are proposed. Adverse impacts to this protected
resource area resulting from the proposed project are not likely. Consultation is terminated.
Termination does not imply the Department's authorization or endorsement. Consultation may be
re- opened if information or potential impacts, not previously considered, are brought to our attention.
Consultation is valid for no more than two years; if the project has not been implemented by then,
a new consultation will be necessary.
The Natural Heritage Database cannot provide a conclusive statement on the presence, absence, or
condition of significant natural features in any specific location; consultation cannot replace
detailed site surveys. Should a protected resource be encountered during the project's
implementation, compliance with applicable statutes and regulations is required.
Sincerely,

Form) ;"
Four copies of a "Preliminary Master Plan" entitled "Heritage Quarries of
Lemont:"
3. One copy of an Agency Action Report application sent to the Illinois Department
of Natural Resources;
One copy of the Village of Lemont's Certificate of Coverage issued by the
Intergovernmental Risk Management Agency (IRMA);
5. Two pages from the Channel Atlas identifying the subject property.
As you are aware, the Village of Lemont requests approval of a lease of the above -noted
MWRD property for use as open space and public recreation. The Village will combine
the leased parcel with adjacent property it is acquiring through eminent domain. All plans
for specific improvements will be submitted to the District for review and approval.
We have reviewed the standard MWRD governmental lease with the Village Attorney and we find
the terms to be acceptable. Most of the comments are simply completion of the open -ended
provisions of the lease, such as names, project description, and property description. We have
suggested language that will require the Village to submit an inter - governmental agreement to the
MWRD for review and approval. The Village of Lemont, as Lessee, also agrees that it will not
operate nor sub -lease for any "for- profit" operation without MWRD's prior approval. The
Mr. Frank Gardner

Lessee agrees to pay real estate taxes on the Du Page County portion of the subject property.
I believe we have addressed the leasing issues raised to date. Kindly distribute the plans and our
proposed lease for review, and advise us of the next steps in the approval process. Naturally, we
are anxious to advance the lease to an MWRD Board meeting for authorization as soon as
possible.
Thank you for your invaluable assistance on this project. We sincerely appreciate the cooperation
of MWRD to make the "Heritage Quarries" park a reality. Should you have any questions or need
additional information regarding our request, please call me at 630/257 -1595.
