DAVID L. NELSON AND ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Cunsulting Enginecring Gcology <br /> December 5, 1987 <br /> Project No. 14187 <br /> Page 4 <br /> Residence foundations, consisting of conventional spread or continuous type, <br /> should be placed a minimum of 12 inches into the dense basal glacial soils, or <br /> about 4.5 feet below grade, within 50 feet of the top-of-slope or utility <br /> easement. Areas behind the 50 foot area could utilize footings placed <br /> directly upon the basal glacial soils, or about 3.5 feet below grade. All <br /> footing areas should be clean, dry and compact prior to placement of footing <br /> concrete. Footings should be sure to occur within the dense basai soils, and <br /> not within loose surface soils or artificial fill. <br /> Adequate drainage should be provided around the structure and site area. We <br /> suggest the use of foundation and roof drain systems, independently directed � <br /> into the main storm drainage system. Site grading should be performed so that � <br /> no surface waters are allowe6 to freely flow over the top-of-slope, but are � <br /> directed into the main drainage system. � <br /> W2 suggest the drainage and backfilling procedures shown on the enclosed � <br /> f <br /> Subdrain & Backfill Schemes (sheets S-1 and S-2) be utilized within this site. i <br /> Absolutely no filling should be perf�ormed within the building setback areas, ! <br /> including temporary excavation soils. Landscaping with9n the setback could be <br /> performed, but should be limited to ex:sting grade with no filling. <br /> Observation of the site earth��ork phase of development should be performed, to <br /> determine that footing ;oils are adequate. Although we do expect site soil <br /> types, conditions ard distributions to be as stated, some variations could <br /> occur. Should conditions other than those discussed herein be encountered, <br /> the geotechnical consultant should be notified for review and comment. <br /> Additional or alternative r�commendations may be required. <br />
