Rundquist, YE <br />RE: 1921 Mukilteo Boulevard <br />Building Setback Recommendations <br />Everett, Washington <br />NGA File No. 823310 <br />This memomndum documents our recommendations regarding the building setbacks for die planned Kure <br />residence project at 1921 Mukilteo Boulevard in Everett, Washington. We prepared a gcotcchnical <br />engineering report for the site dated October 20, 2005. <br />Based upon the conditions observed at the site, the site slope is considered stable with respect to deep- <br />seated failures. However, there is a potential for shallow sloughing and erosion events to occur on the <br />steeper portions of the slope. We recommended that flee residence foundations be designed to provide an <br />effective setback of at least 35 feet from the top of the steep slope. We also recommend that a light <br />structure setback of 25 feet from the top of the steep slope be established for lightly loaded structures such <br />as the porch roof columns and the small landscaping walls that are planned along the north side of the <br />residence. The northern footing line of the rt sidence, the porch columns, and the landscaping walls should <br />be supported on medium dense or better native soil at least three feet below the finished ground surface. <br />Our explorations indicated that the competent native soil might be encountered at approximately live feet <br />below grade at the time of our site work. <br />
