uXU I- <br />/ /aC'-.■ <br />JUN 819 <br />^TYOF Olv <br />Tho pi-osent condition of the stairway on the lakeshore is now <br />in an unsai'e condition. Due to an erosion problem this stairway <br />is new four feet lower then when oririnally c-nstructed. Hailir.f,s, <br />stair treads and remaining: anchors are now over-rtr'essed. Complete <br />replacement is the only means of avoidintt serious personal injury. <br />Erosion problems plapue t'r.e lakeshore. ihe ""ain property location <br />lies twenty feet' above wh'^t war or:•■'inally a ^5 derroo siote down <br />to tho lake. !'bio has cha: 'ed vith sever’l locations now ocinr; ur <br />to a dar.yercus ”0 de^tree dre: . <br />Trees and other plant rewth, necessary for s.il retention, are lent <br />a’^rjally, s’^rin ■ run eff the no.-t o-stiy :or.od. <br />rroposed is a tnree sten . ian te rerlnce -ho unrafo rtalrway and -t <br />the rr.nc rrover.h •.he future ice or thr IrKeehore -.ni 'he <br />imrot'tar.t substructure. <br />First a '*0 f ot Im' and 5? foot h.irr. railroad tie retaining wall <br />would bo built.

Instead ol a <br />dangerous ?.0 foot ntrnirht decline to the existing dock, a landing <br />would be positioned half-v.-ay down the hill. With one side supported <br />by the ret'^ining wall, six U"x4" pressure treated posts would be in­ <br />stalled to support the opposite side. Thus the landing would be selT <br />supported. The stairs would be constructed so that they are load <br />bearing not on the hill but on the landing. This feature prevents a <br />“4 foot drop" caused by any soil loss as in the present structure.
