� <br /> .�C��r <br /> Engineering Company <br /> July 3, 1997 <br /> Mr. Steve R.eus <br /> Reus-Bottema Construction Inc. <br /> 3955 Merino Ave. <br /> Watertown, MN <br /> (3�: G�rag� Addition at 2780 �hadywood Road <br /> Dear Mr. Reus: <br /> I am writing this letter to summarize my observations and recommendations for the garage <br /> addition at 2780 Shadywood Road. <br /> A 12-foot wide garage expansion is being constructed adjacent to the existing garage at the site. <br /> The existing garage structures are founded on a compacted sand fill material. Excavation of the <br /> foundation material to construct frost footings for the new garage indicated that the existing sand <br /> fill material terminated approximately 8 to 10 feet from the garage, and organic material was <br /> encountered, extending down to the water table (approximately 4 to 5 feet below grade). Further <br /> investigation with the backhoe indicated that a sound sand material is present at about 6 to 7 feet <br /> below grade. . <br /> The contractor was directed to excavate to the sand material, extending at least 3 feet beyond the <br /> footing location, place 3/4" rock material up to an elevation above the water table, and to place and <br /> compact sand material above the rock to the base of the required footing elevation. This will <br /> provide an adequate foundation to support the footings required for the garage structure. <br /> If you have any further questions, please call me. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Q�Vv � , <br /> William J.
