The site consists of one <br /> rectangular shaped parcel(No.00567900200902)with a total area of about 0.22 acres. <br /> The central portion of the site is developed with a residence and driveway. The remainder of the <br /> property is vegetated with grasses, bushes, and sparse trees. The site slopes downward from <br /> south to north at magnitudes of 5 to 20 percent and relief of about 9 feet. <br /> The site is bordered to the north, south, and east by residences, and to the west by 27th Avenue <br /> West. <br /> We understand that portions of the residence have settled about 2.5 inches over time, likely <br /> beginning after construction and potentially continuing today. The most significant settlement is <br /> in the northern margin of the house. <br /> The project includes installation of at least 11 helical anchors and 3 driven piers. Anchors will be <br /> P <br /> attached with steel brackets and angle iron if necessary. Anchors are anticipated to be driven to <br /> refusal below foundation elements. Lifting may be performed as allowed by the structure. <br /> Additional composite pads will be used for crawlspace column areas. <br /> Area Geology <br /> The site lies within the Puget Lowland. The lowland is part of a regional north-south trending <br /> trough that extends from southwestern British Columbia to near Eugene, Oregon. North of <br /> Olympia, Washington, this lowland is glacially carved,with a depositional and erosional history <br /> including at least four separate glacial advances/retreats. The Puget Lowland is bounded to the <br /> west by the Olympic Mountains and to the east by the Cascade Range. The lowland is filled with <br /> glacial and non-glacial sediments consisting of interbedded gravel,sand,silt,till,and peat lenses. <br /> The Geologic Map of the Everett Quadrangle, indicates that the site is underlain by Vashon <br /> Glacial Till. <br /> The till consists of a nonsorted mixture of silt, sand, clay, gravel, and cobbles. These deposits <br /> typically become dense within the upper 15 feet,below a weathered zone. <br /> www.cobaltgeo.com (206)331-1097 <br /> lB <br />
