See LWRP Section Ill - Policies Pages 8 through 16 for evaluation criteria XYes[ No V1 N ca.e The project entails the ordinary and routine replacement of an existing retaining wall located landward of a primary bulkhead, which retains and supports the naturally vegetated embankment behind it and between the upland lawn area and primary bulkhead. The wall is located between a functional retaining wall on the adjacent property to the west and also a functional section of retaining wall to the east on the subject property. Without replacement of this section of wall, the embankment would be allowed to slough and in turn compromise the vegetated slopes located behind these adjacent functional walls. As part of the project, the slope behind the new wall will be revegetated and maintained as an approximately 15' wide nonturfbuffer upon project completion. Therefore, it is necessary to replace the wall, and doing so will be consistent with Policy 4. Attach additional sheets if necessary Policy 5.
