K�hich includes the locations of the proposed lot bouudaries and an ouUine of the footprint of the proposed duplez. Additional information was also provided verbally by Mr. Jce Brown of Shockey/Brent, Inc. Prese�nt nl_ans�all for the conctniction-n�a_one_n�_twp=stgry o_v_er_dayl' hlF. t ba,sem nt u�,ex.. We andcipate that the structure will utilize conventional wood-frame construction with slab-on- grade floors plac �ed for the basement and garage areas. The subject site is located at 105 Barb:�ra Iane in Everett, Washington. The irregularly shaped pazcel occupies a reported area of 20,000 square feet. The site straddles a north-flowing drainabe ravine. An existing house is located on the east side of the rlvine. It is our undersianding that present plans calls for subdividing the property into two lots. Lot 1 would include the eaitern portion of the site in the azea of the existing house. 1'he proposed duplex would be tocated on I.ot 2, which comprises the westem purtion of the site and the area within 25 feet of either side of the drainage ditch located at the bottom of the ravine. T��ditch �vas flowing at the time of our site visit on September 8, 1998:. Proposed plsns c�ll for rese�ng' e artFi�� ea w hin ZS�feet of either side ot the drainage ditch as a native growth protection area. The westarn portion of Lot 2, in the area of the proposed duplex, consists of an east-facing slope. The gradient of the upper portion of the slope ranges from approximately 30 to 65 percent. The gradient of the slope flattens to approxunately 5 to 15 percent in the luwer portion of the slope approximately 40 to 50 feet east of the westem site boundary. The total relief between the western marein of the site and the drainage ditch below the proposed duplex is approximately 40 feet. Vegetation on Lot 2 generally consists oF scattered trees with thick natural undergrowth. Access to the proposed duplex will be provided by a driveway which will enter the site �ff of East Glen Drive, which fronts the west side of the property�. -----._._ 3.0 SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION O�r field study included excavating two exploration pits to gain infortnation about the site. The various types of sediments, as well as the depths where characteristics of the sediments changed, are indicated on the exploration logs presented in Appendix A. The depths indicalcd on �he logs where conditions changed tnay represent gradational variations between sediment 2
