To help elevate this pre-existing problem we would like to <br />construct a boulder wall at the base of the hill. The wall will be placed eight feet <br />back from the west end of the bottom landing of the steps This point is also 20* <br />fi^om the water level of 929 06' as it was on July 26, 1995 The created flair at the <br />base of the hill to the top of the boulders will help slow the runoff imo the take, <br />thus lessening the effects of erosion. The base will extend a maximum of 40* <br />to the north of the steps and 24’ to the south. Neither wail wiU exceed 3.5 ’ in <br />height.Custom Design <br />& installation <br />(612) 473-6649 <br />We propose to build the second wall at the top of the hill to slow the slide of the <br />lawn down the hill. This w^l will be 34 ’ toward the lake shore from the edge of <br />the patio. To the north of the steps shall be a straight wail along the existing edge <br />of the hill The south side will angle back towards the comer of the house. This <br />wall will extend 32’ to the north from the steps and continue all the way back past <br />the 75' set back on the south side tying in with two walls to be constructed on the <br />southwest side of the house. This wall will never exceed 3.5 ’ and normally run <br />between 2.0' and 3.0' <br />The actual construction of these boulder walls is to be done through Landscape <br />Junction Inc. by Fiiud Grade Inc. A MCWD permit will also be applied for this <br />project. <br />If you have any further questions please feel fi-ee to call me at any time. <br />Office; 473-6M9 Mobile 720-6691 Home: 473-8988 <br />Sincere <br />P.O.
