Geotechnical Engineering Report . _ 51 17 23"�Ave W January 2, 2009 RMl Filc No. 50909 1'ag�9 This report is issued with the una�rs�anding that it is the responsibility of the owner or his representative to ensure that the infortna[ion and recommendations contained in this report are called to the attention of al! concerned parties and incorporated into the plans and that the necessary steps are taken tn see that the contractors or subcontractors carry out such recommendations in the field. All pcople who own or occupy homes on or below hillsides should realize that landslide movements are always a possibility, although the likclihood is low that such an event will actually occur. The landowner should periodiailly inspect the slope,especially after a winter storm. If distress is evident, a geotechnical engineer shoi:ld be contacted for advice oa remedial/preventative measures. The probability that landsliding will occur is substantially reduced by the proper maintenance of drainage measures at the site. Therefore, the homcowner should recognize the responsibility for performing 5uch maintenance. Consequendy, we recommend lhat a copy of our report be provided to any future homeowners of the property if the home is sold. We suggest that we provid� observation of the earthwork phases of any proposed construction project. This should include grading, foundation construction, and aetbacks, drainage inctallation, and erosion control measures. Although we expect sitc geology, soil types, conditions, and distributions to be as discussed herein, some variations in subsurface conditions could occur. Should conditions other than those discussed above be encountered, the gcotechnical consultant should be notified for review and commenL Additional or alternative recommendations may be required.
