Fill <br />slopes on Divisions IIi ind IV wae constiuctod with suuctura] fill consisting of on-site granulaz <br />aoils undu tull-time monitoring of a qualified individual from our firm. 'It�e suuctural ffi� �s <br />Icoyed into existing firm native soils and fill placed to achieve the fina] slope grades has been <br />properly benched into ezisting native materials and compacted to 95 percent of MDD (maximum <br />dry deatity) accotding to the specificadons of the ASTM D-1557 test procedure. In addition, the <br />lots are graded to si�pe away from the tops of slopes and all slopes have baen covered with jute <br />matting and hydroseeded for erosion protection. <br />In our opinion, where slopes 6ave been pla^ed. comPactal, Braded, and vegetata. at <br />described above, the minimum building secback distance can be reduced to 10 feet. Thz setback <br />distance is the horizontal distance measured from the front face of the footing to the face of the <br />siope. It should be understood that if the 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 />house foundations are increased. <br />r���,�'r:�,:,�,�s, �n <br />..,;.� . ,a� anr,... � E. <br />ked•�:l..�td.1A�d ����^� <br />lcu.� :' ��:'n I= x, � 2n�.n�. n�n. <br />�llA �:"1�I 56�+�o:n <br />�...� . ,., .... <br />
