The purpose of this letter is to provide the necessary information for the City of Portland to
provide an occupancy permit for the Creekview Business Park site. The site is located
approximately 500 feet north of the intersection between SW Durham Road and SW 74
Avenue in Tigard, Oregon. The City of Tigard permit numbers for the project were BUP 98-
0227/0228 and SIT 98 -0020.
We completed a geotechnical engineering report for the site, dated April 30, 1998, and
observed construction from August 1998 to February 1999. The project included 2 single-
story structures, Buildings A and B. Building A has a floor plate of approximately 9,570
square feet and Building B has a floor plate of approximately 33,500 square feet. Building A
is located approximately 5 feet from the top of a slope heading down to Fenno Creek_ Large
portions of the site were found to contain undocumented fill. We recommended founding the
building footings on granular pad and embedding the footings for Building .A up to 6 feet
below finished grade.
Members of our geotechnical staff monitored the compaction of structural fill, and the
preparation of footing, floor slab, and pavement subgrade. Our work was completed on a
part -time and on -call basis. The results of our site visits were summarized in a field report.
Copies of the -field reports were provided to Pacific Realty Ventures, inc., the contractor, and
the City of Tigard_ Based on our observations, the structural fills and subgrade preparation
was completed in general accordance with the plans and specifications and the geotechnical
recommendations.
