GeoPacific Engineer, Jim Imbrie, visited Lot 111 Tuesday to review the foundation excavation subgrade. The
observed fill soils are compact clayey silt with rocks that probed firm. Some mucking may be required if the
subgrade is left exposed to wet weather for a long duration, however the current subgredo is oonsidcred
adequate. .8®secron - our observations,`It ` i ouroff'ibn rtii'e- current= foundatkrr- subgrade=ts saitable:Rr* —
spread foundation support to a maximum allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. Minimum reinforcement has
been recommended in the above Reference 2. Setbacks on the rear yard rockery well are adequate.
Also Reviewed the keystone wall removal at the back of Lot 7e. the new nonenglneered wall is being property
founded on adequate fill soils and is now appropriately setback from the rear yard rockery wall. GeoPacific also
reviewed the footing drain outletted to the rock beckfill on the rock wall. This Is acceptable since the anticipated
flow is very small.
Our work scope pertains to a geotechnical engineer's foundation excavation review only and the conditions
existing and exposed at the time of our site visit. No deck footing, patio, or other appurtenant structure
Subgrades were observed. Our work was performed to the current local standards of practice. No other
warranty is herein expressed or implied. If you have any questions, please call.

GeoPacific Engineer, Jim Imbrie, visited the site Monday today to review the foundation excavation subgrade.
The observed native soils are stiff clayey silt. Some mucking may be required if the subgrade is left exposed
to wet weather for a long duration, however the current subgrade is Based on our observations, it is our
opinion that the current foundation subgrade is adequate for spread foundation support to a maximum allowable
bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. Minimum reinforcement has been recommended in the above Reference 2. The
existing rockery wall along the side of the garage has been lowered and the grade excavated to the bottom of the
wall such that it is not surcharging the wall.
Our work scope pertains to a geotechnical engineer's foundation excavation review only and the conditions
existing and exposed at the time of site visit. No deck footing, patio, o 'other appurtenant structure
subgrades were observed. Our work was performed to the current local sta dards of practice. No other
