Geo�Engineers <br />Select Homes <br />237 Elm Sueet <br />Everett, Wathington 98203 <br />Aaendon: Mr. Randy Clark <br />April 19, 1993 fcotechnical. <br />f eocncirunmcntal :mA <br />Building Setback Conditions <br />Hanabroolc Development <br />Divisions III and IV <br />Evaett, Wuhington <br />File No. 2670-005-R06 <br />Geologic Scn icc. <br />'!be purpose of this leuer is to outline reduced building setback c.�cditionti for location of <br />homes at tha tops of slopes on Divisioas III and I'' of the Hana6rook �evelopment in Everea, <br />Wu6ington. 1Tiis has been discussed with Mr. Randy Ciazk of Select Hom�, Mr. Pat McCo�ut <br />of Univert,ai Brolcuage Corporation, and Mr. Michad Crowson of W&H Pacific. <br />We 6c �e obsaved no sigat of instability on native slopes in Divisions III and N. Fill <br />slopea on Divisions III anti N wae coatuvcted with swctural fill coasisting of on-site granulaz <br />soils undrr tull-time meni:orirt of a qualified individual from our firm. 'Ihe stcuctural fill is <br />keyad inu� e�i-dng firm nadve soils and fill placed to achieve the final slope grades has becn <br />properly benchai into existing native materials and compacted to 95 peccent of MDD (maximum <br />dry density) accordinq W the specificadons of the ASTM D-1557 test procedure. In addition, the <br />lots are gra�ied ro slope away from the tops of slopes and all stopes have been wvered with jute <br />matting and 6ydroseeded for erosion protection. <br />In our opinion, where siopes have been placed, compacted, graded, and vegetated as <br />described above, the minimum building setback distance can be reduced to 10 feet. The setback <br />distauce is the borizontal distance measured from the tront fa:e of the footing to the face of the <br />siope. It shouid be understood that if ihe setback distance is reduced to 10 feet, the risks of <br />losing access, reducing the design life of the foundations and having slope movement impact the <br />heuse foundationc are increued. <br />i.r�:r�<<�� In� <br />I�' I�!'!� 1',�I'�urA � <br />.,�:ri�� n.LAAS1 0>��;_ <br />,ucpl��.,;,�i:..�•Y,;� ��,.� <br />i.i� � `u,� ..,; ���i9n <br />
