Surrounding this <br /> area ;s a top-of-sloDe, which breaks doN�n to steep sloves directed toward the <br /> north, east and south. The steep sloDe along the northerly and easterly sides <br /> continues down to the base-of-slope, where an exlsting stream and res[dential <br /> development occur. The steeD slope along the southerly side is not as tong, <br /> and slopes down into a eastr.rly trendina dratnage swale. Vegetation consists <br /> prlmarily of various sized evergreen and deciduous trees, brush and grasses. <br /> Soils exposures, and fnformation derived from past information, ind[cate the � <br /> site to be c+robably underlain by compact glacial soils within the upper I <br /> elevation areas (such as the residence area) and interglacial soils near the <br /> base-of-slope. The area of the proposed residence placement aDPears to be � <br /> either dense glacial till or advance glacial outwash sands. Areas alona the <br /> sloDe aDPear to be underlain by the compact outwash sands, with exposures of <br /> compact (stiff) silty fine sand and flne sandy silt (Whidbey Formation) near � <br /> the loHer elevations of the 51oDe. <br /> Outcroppina around water aDoears to occur near the contact within the advance <br /> sands and interglacial silts, near the base-of-slope area <br /> Slope conditions observed fndicate the slope area to be relatively stable, ` <br /> with locat areas of instabfllty. The uCDer portions of the s1oDe appear I <br /> stable, wtth few sians of soil slipDage. The lower portions of the slope � <br /> apDear less stzble, with aoparent slide scarps, or slumping, occurring near <br /> the s1oDe toe. Outcropping ground water and local erosion appear to have <br /> created the less stable conditions. <br /> CONCLUDING OPINIONS <br /> General <br /> Residence development within the lot area fs understood to occur within the <br /> upland area just back from the top-of-s]oDe• Building setbacks of about 18 <br /> feet from the easterly and northerly s'.oee, and about 5 feet from the <br />
