(GTS) visited the subject site on October 17, 2014 in order to <br /> view the project site for the proposed deck and garage improvements at 2223 Taylor <br /> Drive in Everett, Washington. The purpose of our site visit and this report is to comply <br /> with current City of Everett Municipal Code for Geologically Hazardous Areas. <br /> It, is our understanding that the City of Everett is requesting this letter to address the <br /> potential impacts to the property as a result of the proposed improvements. <br /> PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br /> The subject property contains an existing single-family residence located within a <br /> residential subdivision. GTS understands that proposed improvements at this property <br /> will consist of improvements to an existing deck, improvements to the kitchen area that <br /> may include a slight extension of the kitchen floor area, and improvements to the <br /> existing garage. The planned improvements are expected to include a partial removal <br /> and expansion of existing deck elements on the north side of the house and a rebuild of <br /> the garage on the southwest side of the house. <br /> The property contains a two story structure with a basement that has existed on site <br /> since the 1930's. The property appears to have been previously graded with most of the <br /> on-site slopes on the upper portion of the property being relatively flat, but sloping gently <br /> down toward the north. A steep slope exists on the property in the northern portion of <br /> the site, with a steep slope descending down from the upper portion of the property to <br /> the BNSF railroad tracks that run along the northern property boundary. <br /> The planned improvements for the garage on the south side of the house will not be <br /> extended any closer to slopes or critical areas on the property. The planned <br /> improvements to the deck and kitchen area may require new foundations, but it is not <br /> expected that resulting structural loads and/or the distribution of these loads will be <br /> significantly different than existing structural loads. <br /> Page 1 of% �- <br />
