tion. or the ssion with 21st, trial ble leaching, by Mr. A1 Olson June 28, 1976 Page two 6, The ties act as a retaining wall, replacing an old, rotten wood retaining wall. 7. I do not want riprap on my land for aesthetic purposes, nor can I afford the cost of tearing out the ties and purchasing and installing riprap, and endangering my platform and the dirt under it. As you are aware, I did not get a permit—not knowing it was required. I did not intend to do terracing or a seawall. T did not know about creosote. What started out as a very minor levelling back of several feet, with ties four feet high in the bank to give some break to the ugliness of total wild brush and poison ivy (at an estimated cost of $300-$400) turned into a $4,100 expense due to the excavator’s destruction of the whole bank. I have done the best I could with what confronted me. I am aware that there has been a violation of the Ordinance, if the Ordinance is valid. However, I feel that under these circumstances, and the beautiful terracing that has resulted, together with the considerations listed above, an exercise of power to force me to remove the seawall would be unreasonable and work an extreme hardship. I again request an appearance before the Commission. If my request! is denied, then I have no alternative but to accept your citation and contest it. I know you have a job to do, and you have been doing it conscientiously in enforcing the law. I must also protect my interests, having found myself in a very uncomfortable situation. Stewart R.
