Dear Mr. Roosendaal,
This report confirms my site and slope evaluations concerning existing steep slopes on
this property. There is a gradual slope from the rear of the property toward Bell Street.
Existing slopes created by the original site excavation are supported by low rockery walls
that are standing without stability problems. This property is underlain by dense glacial
outwash soils (Qva) deposits that provide competent soil strength to prevent excessive
surficial soil erosion and deep seated landslide movement.
Based on my geotechnical evaluation of the onsite dense glacial deposits and steep slope
conditions on this property, it was recommended that all new foundations remain at
least 15 feet away from the top of the slopes. This 15 foot buffer zone will be more than
adequate for protection of the proposed house foundations. These recommendations
are in accordance with EDC 23.4o and EDC 23.8o in the Edmonds code.
From a geotechnical standpoint the proposed new residence will not be impacted
whatsoever from any possible slope instability or surficial soil erosion resulting from
groundwater or heavy rainfall on these slope areas.
Respectfully,
