Atty. Dubin: How about something along the line of earthen retaining, . . <br /> (i.nterrupted) <br /> Jim Milano: 1 want something to retain the fill. that is there now. The bank- <br /> ing comes down and it drops right off, <br /> Chris Costa: There is an existing rip rap wall right next door. They just <br /> want to protect the shore line. That is all that they are interested in doing. <br /> They are not interested in filling but just to protect what is there's and to <br /> keep it there. If the ocean claims it, then they can't get it back. <br /> Ken: They also knew the ocean was there before they were, too. <br /> Atty. Dubin; They understand that they can't do what they want. What they <br /> want to do is put in something protective as is permissible. We understood <br /> that if you were presented with something earthen with vegetation built into <br /> it . . . (interrupted) <br /> Ken: Do you mean like putting soil and planting roses in there? <br /> Jim Milano: Or even railroad ties. You are talking about way off the high <br /> water line. <br /> Ken: Then why would that wash out? <br /> Jim Milano: We are talking about a high water --if you have a flood. <br /> Ken: How much do you think that is washed back in the last ten years? <br /> Jim Milano: I wouldn't know. <br /> Wayne: Why are you opposed to the stone, Ken? <br /> i <br /> Ken: When people buy a lot for its natural beauty, then they want to come in <br /> a.nd change it. I think it was pretty marginal to split that lot and make two <br /> houses there to start out with. <br /> Chris Costa.: Another point to consider is if they lose the shore line, then they <br /> are in trouble. <br /> Jim Milano: And the house is right on the shore line. <br /> Ken: Do you think stone would be better than ties? <br /> Jim ;Milano: No doubt. I think stone would be better than anything. <br /> Ken: How would you get the rocks in there? <br /> Jim ;Milano: We would have to have them hauled in or set in with a crane. <br /> Chris Costa.: Regarding the construction of it, the only thing it would do is <br /> take the existing slope and trim it to a one to one. Then they take a polyex <br /> filter paper and lay it across the embankment and then they take the stone and <br /> lay the stone along that filter racer. What it does is it allo:,s the water to <br /> sass in and out and keeps the -fillfrombeing washed out <br /> between the stoles. <br /> Since the rip rap is an odd size, they would take 5 inch pieces of stone and use <br /> that to chink their larger boulders up so that they have a nice, smooth uniform <br /> f?.ce on the front of it. <br />
