Subject: Proposed new wheelchair ramp
`Dustin Presbyterian Church
225 W. Main St., Tustin, CA
for the:
12-4-94
The attached drawing defines the proposed new wheelchair
ramp and handrails. The handrails are identical to the
existing handrail on the church front steps except the
vertical bars are closer spaced.
The drawing also shows proposed modifications to the
courtyard where tree roots have lifted some of the concrete.
We propose removing the offer,;ling trees and the lifted and
damaged concrete. We propose replacing the two trees with
ficus benjamina which have very invasive root systems. We
will surround each root ball with a two foot deep plastic
cylinder. Outside the cylinder will be a six or eight inch
wide ditch full of crushed pock. This rock filled ditch
will be fed from an existing watering system so that the
trees will be deep watered. This will protect our new
concrete from the tree's root systems.
We propose replacing the existing wooden benches with
slumpstone walls with capping stones. The slumpstone will be
uncolored and the cap stones have a whiter tone than plain
cement. (the present planters on the west side of the
courtyard have slumpstone walls and caps that are a pale
salmon color. This color is not presently available.).
Finally we plan to paint the vertical walls of the new ramp
the same white as the walls of the church. The legs of the
handrail that overlap this wall will also be painted white.
These walls will be behind the ferns, pittosporum and
rhapiolepis that we will replace in that planter after the
new ramp is completed.
We believe this new ramp will be much safer, meet present
code requirements and still blend in well with our 65 year
old church building.
Please see three attached photos showing two views of the
courtyard/ramp area and a picture of the kind of ficus tree
we plan to plant in the courtyard.
