. <br /> ► <br /> 1.0 INTRODUCTION <br /> 1.1 Project Description <br /> Mr. Hans Berg is proposing to purchase the property at 2800 Shadywood Road in Excelsior, <br /> Minnesota with the intent of constructing a new single family home. We understand that <br /> sale of the property is contingent,in part, on the suitability of site soil condition to support <br /> the proposed home. Mr. Berg retained Haugo GeoTechnical Services (HGTS) to perform a <br /> geotechnical exploration to evaluate the suitability of site soil conditions to support the <br /> proposed development. <br /> 1.2 Purpose <br /> The purpose of this geotechnical exploration was to characterize subsurface soil and <br /> groundwater conditions and provide recommendations for foundation design and <br /> construction of the proposed single family residence. <br /> 1.3 Site Description <br /> The project site is located at 2800 Shadywood Road in Excelsior,Minnesota. The property is <br /> located on the north side of the channel between Lafayette Bay and Carman Bay of Lake <br /> Minnetonka. The project site is also located adjacent to the bridge over the channel. <br /> The property contains an existing house, detached garage and several mature trees. The <br /> ground surface of the lot is relatively flat and generally slopes to Lake Minnetonka. The <br /> ground surface elevations at the soil boring locations ranged from about 9311/z to 9321/z feet <br /> mean sea level(MSL). <br /> 1.4 Scope of Services <br /> Our services were performed in accordance with the Haugo GeoTechnical Sexvices LLC <br /> (HGTS)proposal dated June 21,2016 and under the terms of our General Conditions. <br /> Our scope of services was limited to the following tasks: <br /> • Completing two(2)standard penetration test boring to a nominal depth of 21 feet. <br /> • Visually/manually classifying samples recovered from the soil boring. <br /> � Preparing soil boring logs describing the materials encountered and the results of <br /> groundwater level measurements. <br /> • Performing laboratory tests on selected samples recovered from the borings. <br /> • Preparing an engineering report describing soil and groundwater conditions, and <br /> providing recommendations for foundation support. <br /> 1.5 Documents Provided <br /> A lot survey or consiruction plans for the new house have not been prepared at this time. <br /> 1 <br />
