N0. 2 CELLULAR SITE <br />2520 MADISON S7REET <br />� EVERETT, WASHINGTON <br />1.0 SITE AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The project site is an undeveloped parcel located at 2520 Madison Street. in Everett, <br />Washington, as shown on the enclosed Location Map (Figure 1). The leased parcel, which <br />is roughly rectangular and measures about 10 to 30 feet in width (east-wes:) and 60 feet <br />in length (north-south), is part of a larger parcel owned by Sunrise View Retirement Villa. <br />The proposed tower lease area is located at the southeast corner of the Sunrise View <br />Retirement Villa property. Access to the site is gained via an existing gravei access road <br />along the east and of the property for use 5y the Sunrise View Retirement Villa <br />maintenance workers. The enclosed Site & Exploration Plan (Figure 2) illustrates these site <br />boundaries and adjacent existing features. <br />� Development plans call for construction of a new 150-foot-tall monopole tower and <br />� prefabricated equipment sheiter. We anticipate that site graties will remain virtually <br />Iunchanged after clearing, stripping and grubbing operations. <br />It should be realized that the conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are <br />I based on our understanding of the currently proposed project, as deri��ed from information <br />provided to us. In addition, if any changes are made in the project, we should bo allo�ved <br />to review such changes to determine whether any modifications to our report <br />� recommendations are needed. <br />� 2.0 EXPLORATORY METHODS <br />We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site on 1 October 1997. ^��r <br />exploration and testing program comprised the following elements: <br />• A visual surface reconnaissance of the site; <br />( • One soil boring (designated B-1) advanced at a strategic location on the site, to a <br />depth of about 35 feet; <br />• A review of published geologic maps and seismologic literature. <br />The location a�d depth of our exploration was selected in relation to the proposed site <br />features, under the constraints of budget, and site access. We determined the location of <br />our exploration by measuring from existing site features with a hand-held measuring tape <br />and scalinr thesr, measurements onto a layout plan provided to us. Exploration elevations <br />were estimated by interpolating between contour lines shown on this same plan. <br />Consequently, the location and elevation data presented in this report should be considered <br />
