4745 North Shore Drive Project Construction Plans Material List - 2-3’ Boulders (Approximately 105 Yards) - 12-18’ Rip Rap Boulders (Approximately 120 Yards) - Gravel (Approximately 15 Yards) - Dirt for Erosion Control Blanket (Approximately 15 Yards) - No Mow Grass Seed (Approximately 175 Linear feet, mixture in photos) - 4’ Wide Steps (Approximately 80) - Verdana Pavers for (4) 5.5X5.5 Landings (Approximately 121 Sqft) Project/Landscape Narrative The purpose for this project is for two primary concerns; safe, secure access to the lake and a plan to better mitigate the current erosion and bluff failure in the future. I have a vested interest in the longevity of this property as the homeowner and want to ensure I am exercising a proactive rather than reactive approach to take care of issues before they become worse. Stairway Due to the desire to not remove trees from this bluff I am requesting a stone stairway to the lake rather than an elevated decking stairway. Over time, trees have died and fallen on the existing stairway deeming a need for constant repair. A stone stairway engineered by a licensed engineer in accordance with natural contours will in fact help mitigate bluff failure in this area in the future. The material will be hauled in on the driveway, the boom truck will erect the stairs and set them down and placed in the area indicated for material storage. A small crane will be used to hoist the stairs and place them in position on the hillside. As discussed before and as depicted on Chris Hagens plan, Boulders will be placed to achieve the correct elevation to work with the natural contours and the stairs to ensure they are locked in and safe. Rip Rap Retaining Walls The boulder retaining walls by the rip rap are necessary to mitigate lateral pressure issues which are causing the bluff side to fail and continue sliding into 16
