(Deck and Steps approved by Trustees - Permit #5970) 3.)Protect native vegetation on the bluff and upland areas that are currently damaged, destabilized by Sandy erosion. 4.)Achieve bluff stabilization for this property as well as the adjacent properties that have also sustained substantial erosion and damage. (The property adjacent to the West, (John Scopaz, 6300 Indian Neck Lane) has recently received approvals and installed a secondary bulkhead/retaining wall designed to achieve the same desired outcome of bluff and property protection. 5.)Bluff revegetation with appropriate native vegetation within the proposed fill areas and throughout the bluff where needed. Current Status of bluff and upland structures: 1 .)The deck above and stairs along the bluff have been badly damaged by Super Storm Sandy leaving them unusable and more import: dangerous and gravely susceptible to further storm damage. Further storm damage would clearly result in not only more degradation of the bluff and vegetation but also result in additional severe damage to the upland structures including the house itself. Prooosed Scooe of Work and Construction Details: 1 .)Retaining Wall: Construct a retaining wall the width (approximately 90') of the property upland of the bulkhead. The west end of the retaining wall to tie into the recently constructed "Scopaz" retaining wall. The Eastern end of the retaining wall will have an upland retum 6'-8' in length. Retaining Wall Construction Material Specifics: .) Pilings: 10"x 12' .) Sheeting: 14' Vinyl Sheet Pile .) Stringers 6" x 6" timber stringers - Top and bottom .) Clamp: 4" x 6" timber .) Cap: flow through grating or wood decking .) Backing System: 10" deadmen, 10' lay-logs and %" galvanized steel tie-rods. .) Fill: Clean fill - approximately 200 cubic yards 2.)Stabilize Deck: Upon Completion of retaining wall the deck will be stabilized with new footings, stations and cross beams 3.)Repair Steps: Upon completion of the retaining wall and deck stabilization the steps aill be repaired and possibly rerouted slightly to account for the new retaining wall. More steps will not be added and will not require building beyond the current total area of the existing steps. If anything, the area required to re-construct the damaged steps will be less than currently used. Access to site: Access to conduct the proposed work will be from the upland area of the property and from the property adjacent to the East. ! N/O/F LAND OF KOZ~OWSK~ ROBINSON RD.
