GEC�TECH <br />CONSULT�NTS, INC. <br />Tom Eiden <br />2414 Baker Avenue North <br />Everett, Washington 98122 <br />Subject: Geotechnical Engineering Stucly <br />Proposed Eiden Garage <br />2414 Baker Avenue North <br />Everett, Washington <br />Dear Mr. Eiden- <br />13256 NorCheast 20th Street, Suite 16 <br />Bellevue, Washiilgton 98005 <br />(425) 747-5618 FAX (425) 747-8567 <br />June 21, 2010 <br />JN 10114 <br />via email: <br />This report presents the findings and recommendations of our geotechnical engineering study for <br />the site of the proposed garage to be located in Everett, Washington. <br />No plans of the proposed garage were available for our review at the time of this report, but <br />through discussions with you, we understand that a new garage will be constructed in a similar <br />footprint to the existing garage/carport at the sife. The garage will be a single story, but will also <br />have a full basement. As a result, cuts on the order of 10 feet will be necessary to reach the <br />proposed bottom of excavation. The garage will be located a couple of feet from the alley and <br />approximately 5 feet from the northern property line. <br />If the scope of the project changes from what we have described above, we should be provided <br />with revised plans in ortler to determine if modifications to the recommendations and conclusions of <br />this report are warranted. <br />SfTE C�IVDITIDI�lS <br />SURFACE <br />The subject property is located in the central portion of Everett. The rectangular-shaped proper�y is <br />nearly flat and is ongrade with the surrounding properties. The alley that abuts the site to the west <br />is paved and the neighboring site to the north has a crushed rock parking area adjacent to the <br />proposed garage location. No neighboring structures are near the proposed garage. <br />SUBSURFACE <br />The subsurface conditions were explored by excavating a hand-auger test boring in the area just <br />south of the existing garage location. Our exploration program was based on the proposed <br />construction, anticipated subsurface conditions and those encountered during exploration, and the <br />scope of work outlined in our proposal. <br />The hand-auger boring was excavated on May 5, 2010 with a manual hand auger. A geotechnical <br />engineer from our staff observed the excavation process, logged the test borings, and obtained <br />representative samples of the soil encountered. The hand boring log is attached to this report as <br />Plate 2. <br />� <br />
