July 27, 1994 <br />Project No. G94188A <br />Sam R. Porter <br />P.O. Box 972 <br />La Conner, Washington 98257 <br />S,jbject: Beckonwood Home <br />Brentwood Place and Fowler Ave. <br />Everett, Washington <br />Dear Mr. Porter: <br />ASSOCIATED <br />EARTH <br />SCIENCES, INC <br />AUG -5 1994 <br />CITY 6F..EyERETT <br />Public Works Dept. <br />Per your request, Associated Earth Sciences, Inc., completed a visual geotechnical site <br />assessment at the above subject residential property. The purpose of our assessment was to <br />address slope stability issues that relate to the construction of a new home along the west and <br />north side of an existing slope on this property. We understand that the City of Everett <br />requested that a geotechnical firm review the existing slope and assess its overall stability as it <br />relates to the construction of the new home. <br />We completed our site visit with you on July 27, 1994 to evaluate the slope, vegetation and <br />surrounding development. In order to better understand the proposed project, you provided our <br />firm with a copy of the site plan and house drawings completed by Erich Raudebaugh, dated <br />JOy 21, 1994. Based on these provided plans, we understand that the home will be constructed <br />• pith a daylight basement that faces to the west. The daylight basement will only be under <br />one-half of the home (west side). The eastern half of the home will be constructed over a crawl <br />space that is adjacent to the basement. The garage will be along the north side of the home and <br />at the same elevation as the basement. This type of design will allow the structure to step up <br />the existing slope and reduce the impacts to the slope during construction. <br />The subject site is located east of the intersection of Fowler Avenue and Brentwood Place in <br />Everett, Washington. An approximate one hundred foot long utility easement off from Fowler <br />Avenue will be used as the driveway access to the irregular shaped lot. The lot is surrounded <br />by single family homes on all sides. <br />Topographically, the site is nearly level on its eastern half. From the nearly level area the site <br />drops downward to the north and west at an approximate 30 degree angle over r, vertical <br />elevation change of approximately 20 feet. <br />The vegetative cover consists of several second growth fir trees on the upper elevations of the <br />site, and salal and grasses along the understory and side slopes. <br />We did not observe any ground water seepages on the site during our site reconnaissance. <br />911 - 5th Avenue Suite 100 Kirkland, Washington 98033 (206) 827-7701 <br />—"."�t�.:.::y:'=;=:: `.—'Y��e.mcio�ii�=++�.�7:?Y7itigf�-- •. <br />FAX (206) 827-5424 <br />
