Consuuction Co., Inc. <br />4828 W Glenhaven Drive <br />Everett, WA 98203 <br />Attn: Mr. Steve Jones <br />Re: Report—Geotechnicallnvestigation <br />Rdocation of Fisher Residence <br />4129 Grand Avenue <br />Everett, WA <br />Westem Geotechnical Consultants, Inc., is pleased to present the results of our <br />geotechnical investigation conducted at the above roferenced property. On 7uly 6, 2000, a <br />geotxhnical engineer from our firm vaveled to the site to oversee the excavation of 2 test <br />pits at the proposed site for the relocation of the Fisher Residence. <br />Steve Jones provided us with a site plan and structural foundation drawings for the house. <br />The f�ouse is a one-story, wood-&ame structure that will be relocated from 4120 Terrace <br />Drive to the referenced property. The attached site plan shows that the house is roughly <br />18 feet by 26 feet. Based on the initial foundation drawings, the structural loads for the <br />relocated house were designed to be supported on continuous footings tied into a floating <br />slab. We understand the loads on the continuous footings are on the order of 500 pounds <br />per lineal foot. <br />The property is known to be a peat bog. The purpose of our investigation was therefore to <br />evaluate the depth and condition of bearing soils below the peat at the location of the <br />house, and to provide geotechnical recommendations for the des�gn a�� �-.;;*.;��-tion of <br />the foundation. The scope of our services included evaluating the s. ' co;�diti �n� in 2 test <br />pits excavated at the site; performing engineering analyses, as deem�; ..,,. �^s ry in <br />developing ..ur conclusions and rewmmendations; and preparing this eng neering report. <br />The report includes a summary of work perfortned, a description of the su�isurface <br />wnditions encountered, and our conctusions and recommendations regardir;g foundetion <br />support for the house, as well as other geotechnical issues affecting the project. <br />SITE CONDITIONS <br />Surface Conditions <br />The property is relatively flat. There are some trees on the property and a house near the <br />easterly property line that was to be demolished at the time of our site visit. The Fisher <br />residence will be relocated near the middle of the property. <br />
