BRUC INDORF ANGIE LINDORF f7 THOMAS STEW ART DANIEL AISSELL Fence Agreement C-q July 5, 1993 We the undersigned, in accordance with the modified conditions of approval for MS- 32-91 set forth June 15, 1993 by the Contra Costa Board of Supervisors elect to place the fence approximately 4 inches north of the retaining wall, on the Lindorf property. The fence shall be constructed of redwood with either 4X4 or 4X6 posts set every 8 feet. The vertical IX6 boards shall be attached to each side of the horizontal members and overlapping to prevent "gaps" as the boards shrink. To construct the fence the area behind the retaining wall shall be excavated. The posts shall then be set three feet below the retaining wall base, in natural soil. A collar of concrete will be added to each post to prevent decay. Prior to back-filling the drain pipe shall be reinstalled, and a silt barrier of fabric or plastic will be added to the retaining wall, if approved by the project engineer, Vince Cunha. Along the four inch gap between the fence and the retaining wall a weed barrier material will be installed and secured by a layer or rock or gravel. The cost of the fence and excavation mentioned above will be paid for by the Lindorfs and built by the Lindorfs and/or B.L. Williams Construction. A two foot wide concrete drainage swale shall be installed along the common property line just north of the new fence to empty into the drainage system. The swale will be reinforced with wire and will contain expansion "spacers" to prevent cracking. The swale will be built by B. L. Williams Construction prior to October 1, 1993. The swale will be paid for by Stewart & Russell to a maximum of $600.00. Any cost beyond $600.00 will be paid for by the Lindorfs.
