Table 1.Reasons for tree work <br />Tree stumps for two of the eight trees being removed will have stump grinding.These <br />stumps would be located on the inside of the fence and present a potential safety hazard to <br />children in the park. <br />All work will be done by Nick Simons,owner and operator of HartWood Tree Care.He is <br />an ISA Certified Arborist (Certification ID:IN-3678A),making him capable to deem the state of <br />tree health and find the best solution for tree care with minimum removal. <br />Slope Remediation/Retaining Wall <br />As the edges of the property on Leland Avenue and Pierce Street are currently creeping <br />onto the sidewalk,the plan is to excavate the slope and build a retaining wall (very similar to <br />Figure 2 below)to prevent further slope creep.In this process,Jim Boyles of Selge Construction <br />will use an excavator claw to remove a foot of dirt back from the sidewalk to build the retaining <br />wall and insert backfill for drainage.The remaining slope above the wall will be excavated to <br />ensure that the dirt level does not exceed the height of the wall. <br />Our retaining wall will extend 50 feet across on Leland Avenue and 170 feet across on <br />Pierce Street (see Figure 3 below).In accordance with zoning regulations,the retaining wall will <br />be under 3 feet,at a height of 19.375 inches.The wall will be 2 blocks high with a cap block <br />attached to the top with landscaping block adhesive (see Figure 4).A total of 300 blocks and <br />150 caps will be used:116 stretching across the 170 foot Pierce Street side in one layer and 34 <br />stretching across the 50 foot Leland Ave side in one layer.There will be infilled crushed <br />aggregate stones in each block as well the previously mentioned backfill.
