Apple Creek Lane
City Engineer Oakley stated the residents of Apple Creek

Committee) recommends:
PAGE FIVE
44.
9/3/96
STREET - The residents obtain ownership of the single lot which
IMPROVEMENTS contains the road; and
(Cont'd.) - The residents pay the first cost of improving Apple
Creek Lane by pavement patching and resurfacing with
an estimated cost ranging from $70,000 to $131,000
depending on the extent of drainage improvements
necessary; a Special Service Area could be created
to fund the construction of the street improvements;
and
- Then the residents could dedicate the property to the
City as right -of -way.
Mr. Cal Elliott, 1003 Apple Creek Lane, addressed the
City Council stating that the residents are asking the
City for help in finding out who owns Apple Creek Lane;
they have gone downtown to various Cook County
departments but would like the City to help them verify
the ownership. City Attorney Wiltse will follow up on
this matter for the residents.
CRABTREE LANE
City Engineer Oakley stated that residents of Crabtree
Lane are also asking the City to share half the cost of
resurfacing of their street; Crabtree Lane is an
unimproved street with a total length of approximately
910'; the north 250' of Crabtree Lane is City dedicated
right -of -way while the south 450' is private; the middle
210' runs east -west and the jurisdiction is split: the
north half is City right -of -way while the south half is
private; the residents are not interested in dedicating
the private portion of the street to the City as right -
of -way as they want to retain control of the street.
Ms. Elaine Pastnack, 1053 Crabtree Lane, addressed the
City Council stating that 20 years ago the City paid half
the cost of repairing Crabtree Lane with the residents;
nothing has been done since; she has obtained a patching
and resurfacing proposal for the entire 910' of roadway
in the amount of $22,984; they don't want the more
extensive repairs that the City is proposing; they just
want a simple little road.
Mrs. Susan Grish, 980 Crabtree Lane, addressed the City
Council and read a letter from Emily Grudzien, 981
Crabtree Lane, who states that the City should pay the
bulk of the the repair costs because their trucks are
causing the problems.
Ms. Irene Serwa, 1011 Crabtree Lane, addressed the City
Council asking why the City can't cooperate with the
residents; they pay very high taxes with no benefits; the
area still floods; they have no lights, no sewers, no
street.
Mr. Julius Rothchild, 1053 Crabtree Lane, addressed the
City Council asking why the City needs to do the work;
they would like to use their contractor and the City pay
half the cost.
Ms. Sumrell Eiland, 1010 Crabtree Lane, addressed the
City Council stating that she has children with special
needs; one is in a wheelchair; urges the City to help
repair the road.
Moved by Beauvais, seconded by Sarlo, to recommend to the
City Council that City share the cost of resurfacing of
Crabtree Lane (half owned by the City) with the residents
using proposal solicited by the residents from Dean and
Sons, Inc., 100 S. Dee Road, Park Ridge, IL 60068, in the
total amount of $22,984 with the City's share being
$11,492; and it would be in the best interest of the City
that usual bid procedures be waived.
