'ILis has beea diaa�ssed with Mr. Randy Clark of Select Homes, Mr. Pat McCouct <br />of Univaa�l Brokaage Cocporation, and Mr. Michul Crowson of W6cE1 Pacific. <br />We hrve obaaved m aigns of iastability on nadve slopes in Divisioos III and N. Fili <br />dopea on Diviaioas III �nd IV wae conawcted with atcuctural fill consisting of on-site granular <br />aoils unda full-time monitocing of a qualifiod individual from our firm. 'ILe st:uctural fill is <br />k�Y� �� ���8 fum nuive soila and fill placed to achieve the final slope grades has been <br />propaly benched into existing native materials and compacted to 95 pucent of MDD (maximum <br />dry deosiry) ucordie�y w the specificadons of the ASTM D-i 557 tat procedure. In addition, the <br />iatt are gnded to slope away from the tops of slopes and all slopes have been covered with jute <br />mattinR aod hydroseoded for aosion protection. <br />In our opinion, where slopes have beeo placed, compacted, gradeJ, and vege•ated as <br />des�ribed above, the minimum building setback distance can be reduced to 10 fcet. The setback <br />distance is the horizontal distance measured from the front face of the footing to the face of the <br />slope. It should be understoud that if the setback distance is reduced to 10 feet, the risks uf <br />losing arcess, reducing the design life of the foundations and having slope movement impact the <br />house foundations are increased, <br />
