Description
The city of Highland Park brought special assessment proceedings in the county court of Lake County for the pavement of Ridge Road. John Driscoll, an affected property owner, filed objections alleging that the city had not acquired the land necessary for the improvement, and is using his land for that purpose without compensation. After a hearing the court overruled the objection, and the assessment was confirmed. The objector appeals directly to this court. It is undisputed that the road is a public highway by prescription. The sole question relates to the width of the public easement. The portion to be improved runs in a north-south direction from Ridgelee Road on the north to County Line Road on the south, a distance of some 1423 feet. It has a gravel surface and has been used by the public for more than 15 years. The objector owns a 5-acre unsubdivided tract with a frontage of 257 feet on the west side of the road. He was assessed $4881.41. The proposed improvement calls for laying a concrete pavement, with combined curb and gutter, totaling some 31 feet in width, and installing a storm sewer which would take up an additional 3 1/2 feet. It appears that in front of the objector's property the pavement will extend 15 1/2 feet west of the center line of Ridge Road and the storm sewer will occupy an additional 3 1/2 feet of width.
