Special Circumstances:
EXHIBIT “A”
1900 Touhy, Elk Grove Village, IL 60007-6B Abatement
The building was built in 1975 and needs desperate repair work and restoration to compete with the newer facilities in the park. We see great potential for this property. Due to the
great amount of expenses it will take to make such repairs, we would like to request a 6B abatement to help us make this facility an appealing one for potential users.
The Special Circumstances for which I am seeking a 6B Abatement are many. The most important factors that are effecting the marketing, sale or leasing of this property are;
PARKING
EXTERIOR + STRUCTURE + AESTHETICS
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
1. PARKING
This facility suffers from inadequate parking. Therefore, ownership needs to replace and redesign the parking lot to accommodate any tenant that has an interest in leasing the facility.
2. EXTERIOR + STRUCTURE + AESTHETICS
Very low clear height in warehouse. Does not appeal to many freight forwarders, manufacturers or distributors in the O’Hare Area. Owner, may have to raise the roof another 5’ to accommodate
today’s market. In addition, the exterior of facility is very run down and has not been properly maintained over the years. Powerwashing, tuckpointing, and landscaping are the most
imminent and necessary renovations that must be completed in order to attract any potential clients.
3. DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
Mechanical Systems have not been properly maintained through the years. Ceiling Grid and tiles need to be replaced. The general appearance of the interior is very run down and “deteriorated.”
The Ordinance states “ In the case of abandoned property, if the municipality or the Board of Commissioners, as the case may be, finds that special circumstances justify finding that
the property is “abandoned” for purpose of Class 6B, even though it has been vacant and unused for less than 24 months, that finding along with the specification of the circumstances
should be included in the resolution or the ordinance supporting and consenting to the Class 6B application. Such resolution or ordinance should be filed with the eligibility application.
If the ordinance or the resolution is that of a municipality, the approval of the Board of Commissioners of Cook County is required to validate such shortened period of qualifying
abandonment, and a resolution to the effect should be included with the Class 6B eligibility application filed with the Assessor.
I thank you in advance for your help and cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Mariann Gullo
