- Excavate approx. 65, 3 ft deep holes for the relocated fence posts to be secured in concrete;
- Prepare the building pads and install two (2) new 48-feet by 24-feet modulars and one (1) new 36-feet by 60-feet modular; and
- Reconnect utilities, install accessible ramps to each modular, and plant native toyon trees and oleanders to screen the modulars from the tour route viewshed.
