Geotechnical Engineering Evaluation <br />Everett Elks Club <br />Everett, Washington <br />INTRODUCTION <br />This report presents the results of our geotechnical engineering investigation and evaluation of the <br />planned Everett Elks Club building in Everett, Washington. The project site is located at 2802 Hoyt <br />Avenue, on the southwestem comer of California Avenue and Hoyt Avenue, as shown on the Vicinity <br />Map in Figure 1. The purpose of this ,tudy is to explore and characterize the site's surface and subsurface <br />conditions and to provide geotechnical recommendations for site development. For our use in preparing <br />this report, we have been provided with a site plan showing proposed improvements titled "A New Lodge <br />#479 for: Everett Elks Club — 2802 Hoyt Avenue — Everett, Washington;' dated April 4, 2006, prepared <br />by Gary Parkinson Architects. <br />Development on the site is proposed to consist of a five -story structure with underground parking and a <br />slab -on -grade, as well as associated pavement utilities. A sky bridge will connect an existing parking <br />garage across Hoyt Avenue to an upper floor on the eastern side of the new building. The height of the <br />wall associated with the underground garage will be approximately 10 Net. It is also our understanding <br />that the existing retaining walls for the old building may be incorporated into the new building to reduce <br />the need for shoring walls for the underground garage. Shoring walls will likely be needed to retain the <br />planned cuts on the southern, eastern, and northern sides of the site to protect the existing building or "" <br />southern side and the. existing sidewalks and streets on the eastern and northern sides. The garage will be <br />entered from an existing alley on the western side of the site. Stormwater is planned to be directed to an <br />existing system. The proposed site layout is shown on the Site Plan in Figure 2. <br />SCOPE <br />The purpose of this study is to explore and characterize the site surface and subsurface conditions, and <br />provide general recommendations for site development. Specifically, our scope of services includes the <br />following: <br />1. Review existing soils and geologic maps of the area. <br />2. Explore the site subsurface soil and groundwater conditions with three 15-foot to 35-fcor <br />geotechnical borings with a limited -access drill rig. Drill rig was subcontracted by NGA. <br />SOCIATES, INC. <br />NELSON GEOTECHNICAL AS <br />
