Project Description: The applicant proposes to remove and replace the rear 48 feet of retaining wall along the western boundary line to the northwest corner of the property. The existing wall is masonry, comprised of cut stone and is visibly bulging.  The replacement will be a poured concrete wall with a flat surface, which will tie into the existing walls. The remaining stone wall will be parge coated with concrete to match the new concrete wall to present a more uniform appearance.
