There are <-) o l d railroad tie walls <br />existing now, one around the lindens on the east si le near the <br />lake, and one higher up, on the west side. There is a rail fence <br />now along both sides .�f the lot near the lake. <br />The existing steps on this steeply sloped lakeshore yard consist <br />of 8"x 8" railroad ties, 6' long, dlaced every three feet with <br />gravel/grass between them. These ties are starting to decay, so <br />the request to replace them is understandable. The tie .ills <br />along Ether side near the lake are intended to be about <br />high to remove the existing drop-off near the fence which is <br />dangerous to mow when the grass is wet (see exhibit F-1). <br />The tie wall enclosures around the linden trees are starting to <br />rot and appear necessary if the trees are to remain there. <br />The stairway is proposed to be constructed using stringers and <br />wooden treads, t ' ..ough it is not clear exactly what portion of <br />the steps will be hardcover. The two landings 4'xl6' and 8'x'.. ', <br />are not finalized as to surface material, according to the <br />landscape planner. This would have an effect on chQ f rcentage <br />
