Also approved metal seawall <br /> for east shoreline of channel and lagoon and riprap <br /> of north shoreline of lagoon. Deferred action on <br /> shoreline protection as proposed for west wall <br /> because several members of association did not <br /> agree with proposal as submitted. Council also <br /> concerned with proposed west wall protection <br /> because of necessity for use of City right of <br /> ways for anchoring seawall. Conflicts with <br /> City regulations for use of public lands for <br /> �rivate improvements and benefit. <br /> The City Council directed the City Engineer <br /> continue reviewing proposal and report back with <br /> most logical solution. <br /> Letter from Greg Frank, City Engineer, dated <br /> May 16, 1977: <br /> On April 12, 1977, I met with Mr. & Mrs. Arthur <br /> S. Ellis, Mr. Dick DeGregery, and Mr. H.R. Hartman . " <br /> to discuss the subject dredging and riprap/seawall <br /> application for the west side of the lagoon. <br /> During the discussion, three basic proposals were <br /> offered for the improvement and maintenance of <br /> the west lagoon wall. They were as follows: <br /> A. Construct an aluminum seawall: On �April 18, <br /> 1977, we discussed our concerns relative to <br /> this proposal. Mr. Hartman has since had pH <br /> and electrical resistivity measurements taken <br /> and presented me the results. Based on these <br /> tests, the seawall should not experience <br /> corrosion. However, we still have concerns � <br /> regarding the structural stability of the design <br /> and would recommend that (1) soil borings be <br /> taken to determine earth pressures,� and (2) detailed <br /> structural design information be submitted to verify <br /> the adequacy of sheeting length and anchors.
