The location of the siu and the gena�al <br /> configuration of the property aze shown on the Vicinity Map and the Site Plan, Figures 1 and 2, <br /> respectively. ' <br /> Our understanding of the project is based on discussions with and site inforni�tion provided <br /> � by Mr. Chandler Stever with the Malvanny Partnership. The proposed development consists of <br /> an approximately 156,000-squaze-foot Costco wazehouse along the west side of the property,and <br /> , the remainder of the site will be for pazking, landscaping, and storm water management. 14e <br /> ' understand the wazehouse will be of steel frame and meta] clad construction. Design loads for � <br /> �� the proposed waze,tiouse aze expec;ted to include wall loads on the order of 3 klf (kips per <br /> � lineaz foot), column loads on the order of 100 kips, and floor loads up to 500 psf(pounds per <br /> I ' square foot). Finished fleor elevation for the warehouse will be at Elevation 570 feet, which will <br /> � <br /> require cuts on the order of 10 feet along the south side of the �roposed building footprint and <br />' fills up to 6 feet in height near the noitheast corner of the building fuc;forint. Preliminary p12ns <br /> 1 , indicate that storm water witl be managed with the use of detentic�n and water quality ireatment <br /> ponds. 11�ese ponds wiU be locatefl south of the proposed building footpeint as noted �n <br /> Figure 2. <br /> • Several small wetland azeas have been identified on the site. hiost of these wetland azeas <br /> will be left in-place and enhanced with the development as proposed. However, two wetland <br /> azeas near ti�e northern mazgin of the property and one near the northwest corner of the proposed <br /> building footprint a� •:� be filled. <br /> SCOPE <br /> The purpose of this study is to provide design level geotechnical information for <br /> development of the proposed Costco Wholesale project. Our specific scop:of services includes <br /> the following tasks: <br /> 1. Explure the subsur:acs soil and ground water conditions across the site by eaccavaring <br /> 12 test pits to depths ranging from 4 to 12 feet with a rubber-tired bac.khoe. <br /> 2. Evaluate pertinent physical and engineerir.g chazacteristics of the foundation soils bazed on <br />� � laboratory tescs performe,i on samples obiained frem the test pits. <br /> G c o E n y i n e e r � 1 Fle No.0975-0l7•R73J062997 <br />
