Exact same material and design of existing door (including any replacement trim). b) Construction of an ADA compliant ramp with wood ramp with wood detailing and metal balusters, connecting the ADA Parking in the rear of the building along the side of the building to the front entrance. This work will include the required striping of the concrete. c) New concrete work to construct one ADA compliant parking space with a striped loading area for handicap at the rear of the access driveway behind the building. d) Removing the rear stairs, and railing at rear of the building to avoid conflict with the new ADA parking. Door will remain. e) 4’x5’x4’ wood fence with 36” wood gate waste can enclosure in the rear yard (not visible from the street). 5.
