CEOTECHNICAL ENGINEFRING STUDY <br /> Proposed North Point Apartments <br /> East Marine View Drive <br /> Everett, Washinc�ton <br /> This report presenls the findings and recommendations of our geotecl�nical engineering study for <br /> the site of a proposed residential subdivision in Everett, Washington. The Vicinity Map, Plate 1, <br /> iliustrates the general location of the site. <br /> Development of the properly is in the planning slage, and detailed plans were not made available <br /> to us. The site plans provided to us prior to our explorations depicted the proposed apartment <br /> building lor.ations and floor elevations, along with topographic information. Based on this <br /> information, we understand that the project development includes three buildings, all with lower <br /> level parking mostly surrounded with surface parking. Two L-shaped buildings will be at the <br /> norlhwestern and southwestern porlions of the site, while a T-shaped building will be located near <br /> the middle. Finish floor elevations for the buildings will range from 51 feet to 70 feet. �xcavation <br /> depths of as much as 20 feet in the western portion of the site are anticipated. Several feet of fill <br /> will be required in the eastern part of the project to achieve the desired floor grade. <br /> SITE CONDITIONS <br /> Surface <br /> The nearly rectangular site covers approximately 4.5 acres and is currently vacanl. It has about <br /> 600 feet of frontage along the eastern side of East Marine View Drive and an average depth of <br /> about 335 feet. The 11th Street right-of-way, partially improved to provide access to neighboring <br /> residences, borders the southern property line. <br /> The property is relatively flat from East Marine View Drive eastward for about 30 to 40 feet then <br /> drops moderaleiy to steeply 10 to 15 feet in elevation. A second flat area that has the appearance <br /> of a former haui road extends nearly across the property from north to soulh. Continuing eastward, <br /> the ground slopes gently downward to the eastern property line and beyond. Topographic relief <br /> across the site from west to east is about 50 feet. The property is well-vegetated with trees and <br /> dense undergrowth. Concrete elements which appear to be a foundation for a small building were <br /> found near the center of the southern half of tlie site. <br /> Subsurface <br /> The subsurface conditions �vere explored by excavating ten test pits at the approximate locations <br /> shown on lhe Site Exploration Plan, Plate 2. The field expioration program was based upon the <br /> proposed construction and required design criteria, the site topography and access, the subsurface <br /> conditions revealed during excavation, and on the scope of work outlined in our proposal. <br /> The test pits were excavated on July 24, 1998, with a trackhoe. A geotechnical engineer from our <br /> staif observed the excavalion process, togged the test pits, and obtained representative samples of <br /> rn�ii�nn�..ri i.�xrs.rnc <br />
