Re: Building Permit: 2004-0698
Site Address: 925 8"' Ave S
Expiration Date: 8/20/05
Dear Michel Construction,
The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the last remaining inspection oil your
project is a final inspection(s). The final inspection(s) deteirnines that there are no
outstanding life -safety issues and approval allows the City to close YOLir perillit file.
The City considers the final inspection to be one of the rilost important inspections
conducted on a project. In order to grant final approval the following must be complete:
smoke detectors, house numbers, guardrails, handrails, self -close doors between garage
and residence, egress from sleeping rooms, safety glazing, weather-stripping, any
Engineering department requirements etc. Of course not all of these things may
specifically apply to your project but it does give you an idea about the kinds of things
that must be complete as well as some items that do not need to be installed such as:
paint, carpet, moldings, wallpaper, etc. Please be advised permits expire one year from
the date of issuance. If you will need more time to complete the work, permits can be
renewed prior to expiration for one half fees. If the permit expires without a final
approval granted by the Building Inspector, full fees are required in order to renew the
permit. This can be very costly to you and we strongly encourage You to check your
pen -nit expiration date and call for the required final inspection(s). Note: If more than
one department is required to final your project, this is noted on your Job Card.
Please feel free to contact me at 425-771-0220 ifyou have any questions.
Sincerely,
JoAnne ZuIaLlf

Fill Material: No significant quantities of fill material were requir
geotechnical purposes. Contractor brought in localized amounts (less than 10
cubic yards per lot) and placed as a sub -base in order to optimize foundation
formwork procedures. All placement of fill material is in accordance with this --
engineer's geotechnical inspections. Approved.
Rockery Construction: This project required a number of rockeries both between
lots and at the up -slope east portion of the project (see Project Plans and
photographs).
This engineer verified the following: Base rock embeddment in dense sub -grade
soil, rock linkage, rock size, rock chinking, drainage zone, face batter, and final
"blending in" with existing grades.
All project rockeries; comply with approved Project Plans, this engineees on -site
recommendations and normal good practices. All rockeries are approved as
constructed.
Subsurface Drainage: This engineer inspected and verified placement of
subsurface drains in accordance with City of Edmonds approved Plans and good
practices. All subsurface drainage is geotechnically approved.
Erosion Control: Contractor properly established temporary erosion control
measures consisting of: Rocked construction entrance, siltation fencing, straw
bales as required, inlet catch basin filter socks, and diligent. cleanup. All
temporary erosion control measures were properly maintained throughout the
project.
Permanent Erosion Control Measures: Permanent erosion control measures
have been properly established for the entire 8-horne project: Final surficial
grading has been completed, all driveways have been paved, rocke6es
completed, landscaping consisting of lawn, shrubbery and small trees have been
properly installed. Additionally, the native growth zone at the southwest portion
of the overall property appears to comply with City of Edmonds approved Plans.

CHARACTERISTI
A survey of the subject property was conducted on June 12, 2004 by
L.S.A. The property is rectangular, and consists of approximately 62,510
frontage feet along the east side of 8" Ave. S and 179.26 frontage feet along the
north side of Pine Street. The adjoining properties, as well as the neighborhood,
consist of single family residences on similar size lots.
The subject property contains mature trees, shrubs, and lowland grassy
areas. The property is moderately sloped (less than 14%), and drains
southwesterly to the existing wetland
_EVALUATION:
of 81h Ave. S and
Visual assessments of the property at the N.E. corner
Pine Street revealed no evidence of any geotechnical distress. No slides, no
settlements, no creep, nor any significant erosional degradation were observed.
This engineer has considerable experience in the immediate vicinity and
understands the foundation subgrade conditions.
Experience has proven that the subgrade soils are fully capable of
properly supporting the proposed 8 new single family residences.
This engineer evaluated the 8" Ave. S & Pine Street property on July 1,
2004. Significant clearing, grading, and drainage work had already occurred
(see photographs).
The S.W. corner of the property is understood to be designated a W.Z., in
accordance with drainage plans by Donna Breske, P.E.
The utility work has exposed a large number of "soil test trenches"
throughout the property. Subgrade conditions were uniform.

Ground water was present in the southern portion of the property. See
photographs.
This engineer has reviewed drainage plans by Donna Breske, P.E. and
concurs with the system of drains and detention for geotechnical integrity.
The very dense subgrade soils will provide excellent foundation bearing
with proper drainage controls.
CONCLUSIONS RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the findings of this investigation, and experience with similar
1h
sites in the area, the property at 8 Ave. S and Pine Street is geotechnically
approved for the proposed Michel Construction 8 lot S.F.R. development,
subject to the following:
0 Standard reinforcing continuous and spread footings. Allowable bearing
pressure: 2,000 p.s.f.
0 Equivalent fluid pressure of 35 p.c.f. is recommended for any retaining
wall design provided drainage zone is inspected and verified by this
engineer.
0 For retaining wall design, use friction factor of 0.55 and passive pressure
of 350 p.c.f.
0 Geotechnical inspection by this engineer prior to any foundation concrete
placement.
The proposed structures can be supported on conventional continuous
and spread footings bearing on undisturbed native soils or on structural fill placed
above native soils. See the later sub -section entitled General Earthwork and
Structural Fill for structural fill placement and compaction recommendations.
Continuous and individual spread footings should have minimum widths of
Michel Construction, inc. / 8" Ave. S & Pine Street
Page four
eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) inches, respectively, and should be bottomed
at least eighteen (18) inches below the lower adjacent finish ground surface.
Depending on the final site grades, some overexcavation may be required
below footings to expose competent native soils. Unless lean concrete is used to
fill the over excavated hole, the width of the overexcavation at the bottom must
be at least as wide as the sum of two times the depth of the overexcavation and
two feet below the
the footing width. For example, an overexcavation extending
bottom of a three-foot wide footing must be at least seven feet wide at the base
of the excavation.
Footings constructed according to the above recommendations may be
designed for an allowable soil bearing pressure of two thousand (2,000) pounds
per square foot (p.s.f.). A one-third increase in this design bearing pressure may
be used when considering short-term wind or seismic loads. For the above
design criteria, it is anticipated that total post -construction settlement of footings
founded on competent, native soils (or on structural fill up to five (5) feet in
thickness) will be about one-half inch, with differential settlements on the order of
one -quarter inch.
Lateral loads due to wind or seismic forces may be resisted by friction
between the foundations and the bearing soils, or by passive earth pressure
acting on the vertical, embedded portions of the foundations. For the latter
condition, the foundations must either be poured directly against undisturbed soil
or the backfill placed around the outside of the foundation must be level structural
fill. We recommend the following design values be used for the foundation's
resistance to lateral loading:
Parameter Desicin Value
Coefficient of Friction 0.55
Passive Earth Pressure 350 p.c.f.
Where:
p.c.f. is pounds per cubic foot.
(2) Passive earth pressure is computed using the equivalent fluid
density.

A safety factor of at least 1.5 is recommended for design of the
foundation's resistance to lateral loading.
SLABS -ON -GRADE:
Slab -on -grade floors may be supported on undisturbed, competent native
soils or on structural fill. The slabs may be supported on the existing soils
provided these soils can be recompacted prior to placement of the free -draining
sand or gravel underneath the slab. This sand and gravel layer should be a
minimum of four (4) inches thick. We also recommend using a vapor barrier
such as 6-mil. plastic membrane beneath the slab with minimum overlaps of 12
inches for sealing purposes.
PERIVIANENTFOUNDATION AND RETAINING WALLS:
Retaining walls backfilled on one side only should be designed to resist
lateral earth pressures imposed by the soils retained by these structures. The
following recommended design parameters are for walls less than twelve (12)
feet in height which restrain level backfill:
Parameter Design Value
Active Earth Pressure* 35 p.c.f.
Passive Earth Pressure 350 p.c.f.
Coefficient of Friction 0.55
Soil Unit Weight 125 p.c.f.
Where:
(1) p.c.f. is pounds per cubic foot
(2) Active and passive earth pressures are computed using equivalent
fluid densities.
For restrained walls which cannot deflect at least 0.002 times the wall
height, a uniform lateral pressure of one hundred (100 p.s.f. should be
added to the active equivalent fluid pressure).

The values given above are to be used for design of permanent
foundation and retaining walls only. An appropriate safety factor should be
applied when designing the walls. We recommend using a safety factor of at
least 1.5 for overturning and sliding.
The above design values do- not include the effects of any hydrostatic
pressures behind the walls and assume that no surcharge slopes or loads will be
placed above the walls. If these conditions exist, then those pressures should be
added to the above lateral pressures. Also, if sloping backfill is desired behind
the walls, then we will need to be given the wall dimensions and slope of the
backfill in order to provide the appropriate design earth pressures.
Heavy co * nstruction equipment should not be operated behind retaining
and foundation walls within a distance equal to the height of the wall, unless the
walls are designed for the additional lateral pressures resulting from the
equipment. Placement and compaction of retaining wall backfill should be
accomplished with hand -operated equipment.
Retaining Wall Backfill
Backfill placed within eighteen (18) inches of any retaining or foundation
walls should be free -draining structural fill containing no organics. This backfill
should contain no more than five (5) percent silt or clay particles and have no
particles greater than four (4) inches in diameter. The percentage of particles
passing the No. 4 sieve should be between twenty-five (25) and seventy (70)
percent. Due to their high silt content, if the native soils are used as backfill, a
drainage composite, such as Mirafi and Enkadrain, should be placed against the
retaining walls. The drainage composites should be hydraulically connected to
the foundation drain system. the purpose of these backfill requirements is to
assure that the design criteria for the retaining wall as not exceeded because of a
build-up of hydrostatic pressure behind the wall. The subsection entitled General
Earthwork and Structural Fill contains recommendations regarding placement
and compaction of structural fill behind retaining and foundation walls.

EXCAVATION AND SLOPES:
In no case should excavation slopes be greater than the limits specified in
local, state and national government safety regulations. Temporary cuts up to a
height of four (4) feet deep in unsaturated soils may be vertical. For temporary
cuts having a height greater than four (4) feet, the cut should have an inclination
no steeper than 1:1 (Horizontal:Vertical) from the top of the slope to the bottom of
the excavation. Under specific recommendations by the geotechnicall
engineer, excavation cuts may be modified for site conditions. All permanent
cuts into native soils should be inclined no steeper than 2:1 (H:V). Fill slopes
should not exceed 1:1 (H:V). it is important to note that sands do cave suddenly,
and without warning. The contractors should be made aware of this potential
hazard.
Water should not be allowed to flow uncontrolled over the top of any
temporary or permanent slope. All permanently exposed slopes should be
seeded with an appropriate species of vegetation to reduce erosion and improve
stability of the surficial layer of soil.
DRAINAGE CONSIDERATIONS:
Footing drains are recommended at the base of all footings and retaining
walls. These drains should be surrounded by at least six (6) inches of one -inch -
minus washed rock wrapped in non -woven geotextile filter fabric (Mirafi 140N,
Supac 4NP, or similar material). At the highest point, the perforated pipe invert
should be at least as low as the bottom of the footing and it should be sloped for
drainage. All roof and surface water drains must be kept separate from the
foundation drain system.
The excavation and site should be graded so that surface water is directed
off the site and away from the tops of slopes. Water should not be allowed to
stand in any area where foundations, slabs, or pavements are to be constructed.
Any exposed slopes to be covered with plastic to minimize erosion. Final site
grading in areas adjacent to buildings should be sloped at least two (2) percent
away from the building, except where the area adjacent to the building is paved.

GENERAL EARTHWORK AND STRUCTURAL FILL:
The proposed building and pavement areas should be stripped and
cleared of all surface vegetation, all organic matter, and other deleterious
material. The stripped or removed materials should not be mixed with any
materials to be used as structural fill.
Structural fill is defined as any fill placed under the building, behind
permanent retaining or foundation walls, or in other areas where the underlying
soils needs to support loads. This engineer should observe site conditions
during and after excavation prior to placement of any structural fill.
All structural fill should be placed in horizontal lifts with a moisture content
at or near the optimum moisture content. The optimum moisture content is that
moisture content which results in the greatest compacted dry density. The
moisture content of fill soils is very important and must be closely controlled
during the filling and compaction process.
The allowable thickness of the fill lift will depend on the material type,
compaction equipment, and the number of passes made to compact the lift. In
no case should the lifts exceed twelve (12) inches in loose thickness. The
following table presents recommended relative compaction for structural fill:
Location of Fill Placement Minimum. RelativeCompaction
Beneath footings, slabs or walkways 95%
Behind retaining walls
90%
Beneath pavements 95% for upper 12
inches of subgrade, 90% below that level
Where: Minimum relative 6ornpaction is the ratio, expressed in percentages, of
the compacted dry density to the maximum dry density, as determined in
accordance with ASTM Test Designation D-1 557-78 (Modified Proctor).
Use of On -Site Soils
If grading activities take place during wet weather, or when on -site soils
are wet, site preparation costs may be higher because of delays due to rains and

the potential need to import granular fill. The on -site soils are generally silty and
thus are moisture sensitive. Grading operations will be difficult when the
moisture content of these soils exceeds the optimum moisture content.
Moisture sensitive soils will also be susceptible to excessive softening and
"pumping" from construction equipment traffic when the moisture content is
greater than the optimum moisture content.
Ideally, structural fill which is to be placed in wet weather should consist of
a granular soil having no more than five (5) percent silt or clay particles. The
percentage of particles passing the No. 200 sieve should be measured from that
portion of the soil passing the three -quarter -inch sieve.
The use of "some" on -site soils for fill material may be acceptabl if the
upper organic materials is segregated and moisture contents are monitored by
engineering inspection.
DRAINAGE CONTROLS -
The overall property at 81h & Pine contains upslope seepage. The road (81h
Ave. S.) has created a long term historical "dam". Thus, the S.W. corner of the
property has become a man-made "moisture -zone".
Drainage plans by Donna Breske, P.E. have incorporated intercept drains,
tightlines and detention/ orifice mitigations.
Geotechnically, this engineer will provide onsite inspections to verify
proper foundation subgrade conditions exist prior to any concrete placement.
CONCRETE:
All foundation concrete (footings, stem walls, slabs, any retaining walls,
etc.) shall have a minim cement content of 5-1/2 sacks per cubic yard of
concrete mix.
INSPECTION:
The recommendations of this report are only valid when key geotechnical
aspects are inspected by this engineer during construction:

'SUMMARY:
The proposed Michel Construction 8 lot SFR project at 8 1h & Pine
Edmonds, is geotechnically viable when constructed in accordance with the
recommendations herein, compliance with City of Edmonds approved plans and
requirements, and key geotechnical inspection during construction.
CLOSURE:
The findings and recommendations of this report were prepared in
accordance with generally accepted professional engineering principles and
practice. No other warranty, either express or implied, is made. The conclusions
are based on the results of the field exploration and interpolation of subsurface
conditions between explored locations. If conditions are encountered during
construction that appear to be different than those described in this report, this
engineer should be notified to observe the situation and review and verify or
modify the recommendations.
If there are any questions, do not hesitate to call.
