Geotechnical•Engineering Evaluation <br />Everett Elks Club <br />November 2, 2006 <br />NGA File No. 751106 <br />Page 2 <br />3. Perform laboratory classification and analyses on selected soils samples obtained in the <br />explorations, as necessary. <br />4. Provide recommendations for site grading and earthwork, including structural fill. <br />5. Provide recommendations for foundation support and slabs -on -grade subgrade. <br />6. Provide recommendations for retaining walls. <br />7. Provide recommendations for shoring of the cuts and the existing neighboring structure. <br />g. Provide recommendations for site drainage and erosion control. <br />9. Document the results of our explorations, findings, conclusions, and recommendations in <br />a written geotechnical engineering report. <br />SITE CONDITIONS <br />Surface Conditions <br />The new building will occupy the entire property and will have dimensions of approximately 50 feet in <br />the north -south direction and 120 feet in the cast -west direction. The proposed development area is <br />bounded to the north by California Avenue, to the west by an alley, to the south by an existing building, <br />and to the east by Hoyt Avenue, as shown on the Site Plan in Figure 2. <br />The site is currently occupied by a multi -story building that has a daylight basement on the western side <br />of the building. The existing building occupies the entire property and was damaged in a previous fire. <br />The exterior walls are in place, but the interior of the building was destroyed. The sidewalk on the <br />northern side of the building is moderately sloping from Hoyt Avenue down towards the alley. We did <br />not observe surface water on the sidewalks or the alley during our visit on October 17, 2006. <br />Subsurface Conditions <br />Geology: The Geologic Man of the Everett 7 5 Minute Quadrangle Snohomish County, Washington, by <br />James P. Minard (U.S.G.S., 1985) was referenced for the geologic conditions at the site. The site is <br />mapped as Till (Qvt), but Advance Outwash (Qva) is mapped in the area. The Till is described as a non - <br />sorted mixture of clay, silt, sand, and gravel with a thin veneer of sand. The Advance Outwash is <br />described as being clean well -stratified sand with some gravel and cobbles. Our explorations generally <br />NELSON GEOTECHNICAL ASSOCIATES, <br />
