FOUNDATION EXCAVATION REVIEW /qio S LOT 11 — HIGHLAND HILLS CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON GeoPacific Engineering Inc. visited the site today to review the single family home foundation layout on Lot 11. We understand that the proposed building is a two -story home. In our opinion, the observed subgrade is generally adequate for support to an allowable bearing pressure of 1,500 psf. The expected maximum anticipated total and differential footing movements (generally from soil expansion and /or settlement) are 1 inch and 3/ inch, respectively, over a span of 20 feet. At the time of our site visit, soils exposed in foundation excavation consisted of predominantly moderately compact silt fill that could be probed less than about 1 inch with medium pressure using a steel "T" bar probe. These soils are considered adequate to support the planned foundation loads. Footing -to -slope setbacks were not an issue. Crawlspaces should be provided with a low -point drain and pass through pipes should be installed through footings which would otherwise restrict water flow to the low -point drain. 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. Within the limitations of scope, schedule and budget, GeoPacific attempted to execute these services in accordance with generally accepted professional principles and practices in the fields of geotechnical engineering and engineering geology at the time the report was prepared. No warranty, express or implied, is made. If you have any questions, please call. Sincerely, GeoPacific Engineering, Inc. . ---ate 7, - ci__. 0 ?
