A. Introduction <br /> A.1. Project Information <br /> A.1.a. Project Description <br /> Project information, including site plans titled Orono Senior Housing dated March 3, 2011 prepared by <br /> RHO Development Consulting,was provided to us prior to the start of this project.The project site is <br /> located on the southwestern corner of the intersection of Wayzata Boulevard West and the Luce Line <br /> Trail in Orono, Minnesota. <br /> The proposed construction will include a two-story residential structure and associated surface parking <br /> lots, drive ways, utilities, and biofiltration basins. Structural details for the proposed building have not <br /> been provided at this time.We understand that the building will be wood-framed construction <br /> supported on conventional spread foundations and a concrete slab-on-grade. In addition, a modular <br /> block retaining wall is proposed to the north of the building. <br /> A.1.b. Available Information <br /> Braun Intertec has performed Geotechnical Evaluations on this property in the past for other <br /> development attempts.The results of these explorations were reported in A Geotechnical Evaluation <br /> Report—Proposed Senior Housing Development dated October 27, 2004 (Braun Intertec Project No. <br /> BL-04-05907)and A Geotechnical Evaluation Report—Proposed Orono Villas Residential Development <br /> dated July 10, 2007 (Braun Intertec Project No. BL-07-02022A).The results of these previous projects are <br /> not discussed herein;we are just informing the reader of their existence. However, we have utilized the <br /> previous soil borings in our analysis of this site. <br /> A.1.c. Purpose <br /> The purpose of this geotechnical evaluation was to characterize subsurface conditions at selected <br /> exploration locations and evaluate their impact on design and construction of the proposed senior <br /> housing development. <br /> A.2. Scope of Services <br /> Our scope of services for this project was outlined in our Proposal for Geotechnical Evaluation dated <br /> March 8, 2011 as authorized by you.
