We also understand that the new deck will be at the same location and maintain the same configuration and size of the one to be replaced. Because the subject residence site is mapped in steep slope area or buffer zone, City of Edmonds is concerned about potential impact from construction of the new deck on stability of the Slope and adjacent properties. At your request, we, have completed a geotechnical evaluation in this regard. Presented in this report are our findings and conclusion. RECEIVED AUG 25 2011 DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CTR. CITY OF EDMONDS 19213 Kenlake Place NE • Kenmore, Washington 98028 Phone (425) 483-9134 - Fax (425) 486-2746 August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A Job No. 11-058 Page 2 REFERENCE REPORT A previous geotechnical investigation had been performed by Pacific Test. Laboratories on the subject residence site, with their findings and conclusion presented in' their 04/27/1993 report titled "Inspection of Slope at the Residence Located at 1036 Bell Street, Edmonds, Washington," (referred hereinafter as the PTi., report) a copy of which was provided to us for our use in this evaluation SITE CONDITIONS Surface Condition The general location of the subject residence is shown on Plate .l — Vicinity Map, attached hereto. It is situated on the upper slope of a moderate to steep, southwesterly -declining hillside which is the north valley wall of the nearby Shell Creek. The residence is bounded by Bell Street to the north, adjoined by single-family residences to the east and west, and backs to the south into a moderate to steep, wooded slope which extends to the neighboring properties. The terrain within the residence site initially slopes down very .gently southerly to the fxont of the house, then moderately to steeply to the back of the house. A narrow, level bench area extends from the back of the house to about 10 to 12 feet past it, with the downhill edge of this bench lined by a rockery wall about 2 feet tall. The ground then slopes down. gently southerly from the rockery to a fence before dropping steeply onto the neighboring properties. The backyard behind the house is covered with lawn grass and the slope beyond is dotted with medium dense, mature, evergreen trees with occasional deciduous trees mixed in between and covered by underbrush. `these trees are straight with no discernable downhill lean or bent in the LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A. Job No. 11-058 Page 3 trunks. This indicates that the slope has been stable for at least the past several tens of years. Geologic Setting and Soil Condition The Geologic Map of the Edmonds East and Tart of the Edmonds West Quadrangles Washing by :lames P. Minard, published by U. S. Geological survey in 1983, was referenced for the geologic and soil conditions at the residence site. According to this publication, the surficial soil unit at and in the vicinity of the subject lot is mapped as an Advance Outwash (Qva) soil unit. The advance outwash soil unit is composed of stratified sand and gravel with very minor amount of silt and cloy, deposited by the meltwater of advancing glacial ice of the last glacier. The "sands with cobbles and a trace of silt" encountered in a shallow test pit excavated on the subject residence site as described in the PTL report appears to confirm this soil unit. Due to their generally granular composition, the advance outwash deposits are of moderately high permeability and drains fairly well. The advance outwash deposits had been glacially overridden and are generally dense to very dense in their natural; undisturbed state, except the top 2 to 3 feet of soils exposed on steep slopes which are normally weathered to a loose to medium -dense state. The advance outwash deposits can stand in natural slopes or steep cuts for extended period when undisturbed. Where exposed on slopes with poor vegetation cover and subjected to storm runoff or groundwater seepage, the advance outwash deposits can be gradually eroded and may slough and redeposit to a flatter inclination The underlying fresh advance outwash LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A Job No. 11-058 Page 4 deposits in their native, undisturbed state are quite stable and can provide good foundation support with little settlement expected for light to moderately heavy structures. Groundwater Condition The advance outwash soil unit mantling the subject residence site and the steep slope below it is composed of fine to medium sand with various amount of gravel and occasional cobble. This soil unit is of high permeability and would allow stormwater to seep through easily. Stormwatcr infiltrating into the surficial advance outwash soil unit would be perched on practically impervious fine sandy to clayey silt deposits of a Transitional Beds soil unit underlying the advance outwash soil unit. According to the above -referenced geologic map, the transitional beds soil unit should be tens of feet below the ground surface within the subject residence site. WOOD DECK The existing wood deck (see Photo l attached hereto) off the back of the house, about 6 feet by 32 feet in plan dimensions, is 'at the main floor level, elevated at some 15 feet above the ground. The north side of this deck is attached to the back of the house and its south side supported on three timber posts. "phis deck has a open floor without an impervious membrane cover. The deck has shown signs of decay and will be demolished and reconstructed. The new deck, to be constructed with treated wood, will be at. the same location and of the same configuration and dimension as the old deck, except that two more timber posts will be added (to make a total of 5 posts) under its south side. Just LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A Job No. 11 -058 Page 5 like the old deck, the new deck will have an open floor not covered by an impervious membrane. GEOLOGIC HAZARDS Landslide Hazard According to the above -referenced geologic map,, the residence site and the steep. slope below it is underlain at shallow depth by dense advance outwash soil of high shear strength. Therefore, deep-seated landslides are unlikely to occur on the residence site or the slope below it. Erosion Hazard The slope below the residence site is most likely draped by a layer of topsoil and loose to medium -dense weathered soil up to about 2 to 3 feet thick. This surficial layer of weak soils is of low resistance against erosion and there is a remote chance that it may be, gradually eroded if stripped of vegetation cover. Progressive erosion may result in shallow skin -type mudflows during prolonged heavy rainstorms. This hazard can be minimized by maintaining the vegetation on the slope and prohibiting discharge of concentrated stormwater onto the slope. Erosion may also occur from groundwater seepage out of the slope at the contact of the advance outwash soil unit and the underlying transitional beds, soil unit. The soil within and above this seepage zone can be eroded and when erosion gets to the point the soil mass within and above the seepage zone can no longer sustain its weight slough or slide may occur. The above -referenced geologic map shows that the contact of the two soil LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A Job No. 1.1-058 Page b units is at quite a distance from the subject residence site and the slope below it. Therefore, the seepage erosion hazard should also be minimal within. the subject residence site or the slope below it. Seismic' Hazard The Puget Sound region is in an active seismic zone. The residence site and the slope below it are underlain at shallow depth by dense advance outwash deposits of high shear strength. Therefore, the potential for seismic hazards, such as landslides, liquefaction, lateral soil spreading, to occur on the site and the slope below it provided that necessary erosion mitigation measures are fully implemented and observed. CONCLUSION Based on the above, the slope below the subject residence site should be stable if the proposed new deck does not cause significant disturbance, impose heavy load or discharge concentrated stormwater onto the slope. The proposed new deck will be constructed to replace an existing deck which is already there. T'he new deck, which is a very light structure, will maintain the same location and dimensions of the existing deck. Except.the addition of two timber posts along its south.side, the loading of the new deck will be same as that of the old. Like the existing deck, the new deck will have an open floor with no impervious membrane cover. Therefore, there will be no concentrated stormwater to be discharged from the new deck onto the slope below. The foundation support to the new deck will require excavation of five small footing pits which would cause little or no disturbance to the slope. It is, therefore, our conclusion that LIU & ASSOCIATES, INC. 0 August 24, 2011 Mrs. Ann Bradford L&A Job No. 11-058 Page 7 construction of the proposed new deck will not increase stormwater discharge or transportation of sediment onto adjacent properties, will not decrease stability of the slope or adjacent properties, and will not adversely impact other critical areas.

Bradford DEVELOPMENT SERVICES CTR. 1130 5th Avenue. South #205 CITY OF EDMONDS Edmonds, WA 98020 Subject: Inspection of slope at the Residence Located at 1036 Bell Street, Edmonds, Washington Dear Ms. Bradford: At your request a representative from Pacific Testing Laboratories was at the above mentioned site to inspect the slope at the back of the residence..with regards to.stability. The lot is located on the south side of Bell. Street.. with :a .relatively: level front yard. However, the home appears to. be benched into a slope as .the.bacicyard slopes to the south at a grade of approximately 40%. . Beginning at, the south foundation wall of the home there is a small bench that extends approximately 8 feet. At this point there is a small 2 to 3 foot rockery, then the remaining southern portion of the lot slopes at 40% to the adjacent property before the topography levels out some 200 feet away to the south. The slope is heavily vegetated with blackberry bushes and small vine maple. There is an 18 inch fir tree on the adjacent lot to the east that has a slight curve to the trunk, however it appears the movement has taken place some time ago. No excess seepage was noted on the slope, that would indicate any instability. Soils in the area are sands with cobbles and a trace of silt. The type of soil found on the site would appear to be a well drained therefore, reducing the risk of overloading the slope with excess moisture.

At this time they are draining on the ground at the corner of the foundation. These shall be repaired, and preferably tightlined to the"base of the slope, as to not cause any instability to the area. The downspout at the southwest corner should also be directed away from the fill slope on the adjacent property. Based upon the visual inspection of the slope and soil classification from a shallow test pit on the slope, we feel that there is no apparent indications of instability on the southern facing slope at the subject lot. The home has been there for nearly 30 years and no signs of movement are present at this time. LZHrATIONS This report is provided for the information of the client only.

Since the proposed deck replacement includes new footings that are within 65 feet of the landslide hazard area, a geotechnical report is required pursuant to Edmonds Community Development Code (ECDC) 23.80.040.A. This report must be prepared by a licensed engineer or geologist licensed in the state of Washington according to ECDC 23.80.050.A. pursuant to ECDC 23.80.070.A.2, alterations within a landslide hazard area or landslide hazard buffer the geotechnical report must make the following findings: a. The development will not increase surface water discharge or sedimentation to adjacent properties beyond predevelopment conditions; b. The development will not decrease slope stability on adjacent properties; and c. Such alterations will not adversely impact other critical areas; The application for the deck replacement assessed existing slope stability but did not discuss nor make any findings on the proposed deck consistent with ECDC 23.80. Additionally, the report was prepared by and Engineer in Training which does not meet this City's definition of a qualified professional according to ECDC 23.80.070.A.2. Please submit a geotechnical report prepared by a qualified professional which makes the specific finds in ECDC 23.80.070.A.2 as outlined above. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
