Project Description
| Please describe your proposed project: | The current Cabin is 36' long and 30" wide. It has a 3 season porch attached 12' x12' We are proposing to lift the cabin and add on an addition to the east 20' x 30'. Three season porch will be removed and a poured wall foundation will be under that used for storage and the second floor will be a sun room open to the living room. The Foundation will be a poured ICF walls with full basement and walk out. The lower level of the new addition to the East will be Garage. The upper level will have 2 new bedrooms. Existing deck to be removed and new one installed much smaller than original one, 21' x 20' See plan On the North and side of the cabin is a large hill and the water runoff needs to be controlled. Currently the cabin sits at ground level on the North side and part of the West. Over the last 50 years some water has possibly created some issues with the Joists. May need to be repaired. Wont know until we lift it. In order to eliminate this issue in the future we need to raise the cabin 2 feet to get the base of the cabin off the ground. The current height of the structure from ground to the peak is about 16-17 feet. We will not increase the height of the current structure just get get it off the ground so the cabin sits on the concrete foundation and not on the ground. The current foundation is a boulder pyramid type foundation and is original. There is a crawl space under the cabin. About 4' hi on the south side and about 6" on the north side. This has to be changed and a retaining wall will be installed about 6" from the poured wall foundation. See page 2 of the design and comments in Natural Landscape protetion Plan |

| Select the erosion control methods that will be used throughout and after your project: (Check all that apply) |
|
| 6.) What will be done after construction to control erosion? |
As mentioned in other section I have a hill on the North side of the Cabin that creates water run off. Needs to be controlled. We will be installing a 6-8' retaining wall about 6 feet from the cabin on the north and west side. ( SEE PAGE 2 OF DESIGN) About 5 ' of the wall will be buried with the rest exposed . There will be drain tile installed on the North side of the retaining wall and possibly South side.. The wall will be concrete using the Pan concept. The earth between the cabin and the new wall will be removed , wall installed and removed earth put back in place between cabin and wall with natural planting in between. With raising the cabin 2' this will eliminate future water issues with the foundation. Raising the cabin is a necessity. Other erosion control will be new sod planted in the front and more natural planting to absorb more water coming off the hill. A and flatten out land in front of cabin so not as steep |
