Any new construction and/or maintenance/repair of exis,,* construction which alters these stable conditions (for example installing r~ng walls too close to the slope) could affect stability in this area. ,',iR{l~fr 4l1.j%J~iS")fJir(8,' Furthermore, many of the existing impro~1i" now i~d of repair and/or waterfront property owners wish to con.
