�I Pr vi n Famil Services Center 9-9�M-�ZM3-0 <br /> o de ce y <br /> � August 25, 1999 Page 3 <br /> l <br /> IKromer Avenue on the west,by Pacific Avenue on the north,by the main hospital structures on the <br /> east, and by a wooded r2vine on the south. The enclosed Site & Exploration P/an (Figure 2) <br /> illustrates these site boundaries and adjacent existing features. <br /> Development plans call for constructing a new Family Services Center at the p�oject site. <br /> According to drawings prepared by The Robinson Company, this development will comprise a <br /> four-story or five-story, at-grade building with a footprint measuring about 250 feet by 130 feet <br /> overall,and long-range plans involve the possibie construction of one or two additional stories atap <br /> this proposed building. Regardless of its fin21 size, the building will be composed of concrete or <br /> steel framing members with a masonry exteiiar. No basement or other below-�;rade rooms are <br /> currently planned,but such options ar�still being considered. We anticipate that the building walls <br /> and columns will impose relatively high foundatic,n loads. Figure 2 iilustrates the proposed building <br /> � footprint in relation to the existing structures to tf:e east. New asphalt concrete or cement concrete <br /> pavements will be piaced around the building, along with underground utilities. <br /> IThe conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are based on our understanding <br /> of the currently proposed utilization of the preject site, as derived from layout drawinqs, written <br /> I information, and verbal information supplied to us. Consequently, if any changes are ma�e in the <br /> currently proposed project, we may need to modify our conclusions and recommendations <br /> contained herein to reflect those changes. <br /> I 3.0 EXPLORATORY METHOD:i <br /> I We explored surface and subsurface conditions at the project site during January 1999. Our <br /> exploration and testing program co�nprised the following elements: <br /> I • A visual surtace reconnaissance of the site; <br /> • Ten borings (designated B-1 through B-10) with Standard Penetration Tests, <br /> i advanced at strategic locations across the site; <br /> • A review of the logs of eleven borings previously advanced at the adjacer�t medical <br /> center, as detailed in our Subsurtace Exploration and Geotechnical Enyineering <br /> �i Report(W-7503-0) dated 17 June 1991; <br /> I • Three grain size analyses, pertormed on selected soil samples obtained from <br /> strategic locations beneath the site; and <br /> f • A review of published geologic and seismologic maps and literature. <br /> � <br /> Table 1 summarizes the approximate functional locations, surface elevations, and tertnination <br /> ( depths of our subsurface explorations, and Figure 2 depicts their approximate relative locations. <br /> � <br /> 5'�.N'ORDPROC;°9 Proiecls�5eanle\ROOOs\I272J Ro��nsomPim+Emce MospRGt wpE Q <br /> I <br />
