Whcre in conflict,the recommendations in this Icttcr supersede the recommcndations <br /> contained in that rcport. <br /> 7'hc original plan for development of a single family msidcnce on this sitc reyuircd thc <br /> consWction of a 20 to 25 foot high retnining wall in order to provide a building pad high cnough <br /> on the ptvperty ihat an access driveway ofTof Broadway Avenue was ieasiblc. In the <br /> intcrvening months, it is our understanding that you hav�had mcetings w:th both your neighbors <br /> to thc norlh and with Ihe City of Everett. The current proposal is to devclop a building pad hy <br /> cons.n�ctio��of a structural fill that will also benefit and extcnd onto the neighbors property. <br /> I�rom a gcotechnical engineering stEu�dpoint,this is n much preferreci altemauve than <br /> conslruction of the large wall. IIattennann Geotechnical Consulting,pllc is in full support of;hc <br /> grading plan to fill the old erosional ravine between the two propedies with st�vctural fill. Thc <br /> rccommendations in this addendum lerier addre�s the geotcchnical engineering considcrauons <br /> nccessary to complete ihe proposed grading. <br /> 'I hc cxisting fill soils and loose,slope colluvial soils will necd to bc removed from thc areas to <br /> reccive structural fill.The non-organic portions of these materials may be re-used in the new <br /> s(ructural till. The��ibgrade soils shall be in a medium dense condition prior to placing ncw fill. <br /> '1'hc existing culvcrt undet Broadway Avenae should be extended bcyond the plenned toc of thc <br /> ncw structurul fill body. The new culvert should be bedded on a layer of pca�vel and dicii <br /> m.�y Ue rlled over during the placement and compacGon of the ncw fill. The culvert should bc <br /> set to discharge on a rock splash pad comprised of minimum 12 inch diameter quarry spatl rock <br /> , that is embedded into native subgtade so the top surfacc of the rock is at existing grade. Thc <br /> rock pad should be a minimum of 4 feet widc and 6 fect long. <br /> Construction of the new fill should starl at the toe of the slope and work up the slo�x. Thc lill <br /> shall be placed horizontally. Fill soils shou;d bc placed in litt�not to excced 10 inches thick. <br /> I?ach liti shall be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent of thc modificd Proctor value of thc fill <br /> soil. Dcnsity testing should be performed to vcrify suitablc compaction of the fill soil. As thc _ <br /> f3GC, PLLC 14267 209°i Avenue NE Woodlnvllle, WA 9607? (425) 273-5062 /�/3 <br /> � <br />
