DAVID L.NELSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Consulting Engineering Geulogy <br /> qe,:e;nber 5, 1987 <br /> Project No. 14187 <br /> Page 3 <br /> Slope Stebility <br /> Observation of the top-of-slope and steep slope areas was performed. We did <br /> not observe specificaily unstable areas, slides or slumps within the area just ` <br /> below the site area, but some of these conditions can be seen further <br /> downslope. Excavation for the utility lina across thP steep slope area did <br /> undermine the apparent slope stability somewhat, as evidenced by small, local M <br /> surface slumps. These appear to have generally stabilized with time and 3 <br /> vegetation growth. The proposed residence placement area does not show any � <br /> signs of instability. <br /> Conclusions/Opinions <br /> Based upon our observations, review and understanding of proposed residence <br /> siting, we believe that development and construction of the residence can be <br /> performed as anticipated, provided that recommendations as presented herein <br /> are utilized for construction. � <br /> � <br /> � <br /> i � <br /> In general, we are of the opinion that building setbacks should be established <br /> from the top-of-slope and utility line easement, shallow footings placed <br /> within the dense glacial sails should be expected, and that adequate drainage <br /> contral is required. � <br /> � <br /> Recommendations � <br /> Building setbacks should be established for the proposed residence. We <br /> � <br /> suooest a minimum 25 foot setback from the located top-of-slope, and 10 foot <br /> setback from the edae of the located utility easement. <br />
