To be used to identify the individual acquisition parcels for property in each preserve. Useful in showing acquisitions by year or in the order in which they were acquired, or to identify a property for which additional information is required. The parcel acreage is based on the acreage of the parcel when acquired and is not reflect any reductions to the size of the parcel. For the correct areage of individual parcels, please use the Acquisition Spreadsheet at Acquisition
Spreadsheet\Acquisitions Spreadsheet.xlsEach line item in the Attribute Table is a separate acquisition, but the boundaries as shown are the current (not original) boundaries. For instance, if the District acquired a 38-acre parcel and four acres were exchanged to Lake County and one acre was dedicated as a ROW, the parcel as depicted would be 33 acres, and the Attribute Table would show a total parcel acreage of 33 acres. Every Forest Preserve District Acquisition is reflected in this layer (unless we have sold/exchanged away the property). The "APN" Column in the Table of Contents refers to the "Acquisition Parcel Number," which will be necessary to identify and link data in the Document Management System to individual parcels.The District now consists of 65 (not 66) sites, including traditional Preserves, three golf courses, the General Offices, stormwater facilities, and the Community Garden. |
