If you have any questions or <br /> need additional information please contact me. <br /> Backqround <br /> 3535 Ivy Place is lakeshore property. It has a steep slope down to the lake. In the <br /> summer of 2006 the Bazils hired a contractor to remove the buckthorn from the slope. <br /> Unfortunately the contractor used mechanized equipment and removed virtually all the <br /> vegetation from the slope. A replanting plan was required. There was a steep pathway <br /> to a terraced area about half way down the slope. Between the terraced area and the <br /> bottom the slope was a stone stairway. There were issues with how well the replanting <br /> plan was implemented. We were monitoring the success of the slope restoration and <br /> have photographs of the property. <br /> In October, 2007, Lyle Oman found a wooden staircase approximately six feet wide had <br /> been constructed between the top of the slope and the terraced area. A deck <br /> approximately eight feet wide had been constructed between the bottom of the lower <br /> stairs and the dock. They had been constructed without the required "building permiY' <br /> and were wider than the maximum allowed 4 feet. Before and after photos are <br /> attached. <br /> Pete Bazil filed an application for a permit on October 23, 2007, but did not provide a <br /> valuation for the project so the permit could not be issued. There were also questions <br /> about what part of the deck could be retained. The initially we told him he could only <br /> keep a four foot wide section running depth of the deck. Later I told him he could keep <br /> a four foot wide section running its length. A copy of the permit application is attached. <br />
