MIMNFSOTA <br />Ideal Construction <br />Attn: Blair George <br />723 Pierce Street Northeast <br />Mj nnesota—5S413i <br />December 22» 1988 <br />LABORATORY No.4220 89-464 <br />IKTROOUCTION <br />This report concerns the recent soil observations and testing services we performed for <br />the addition to the Weihe residence at 1376 Balder Park Road in Orono. Minnesota. This <br />work was requested by Mr Blair George of Ideal Construction on November 9, 1988. The <br />scope of our work was as follows: <br />1. Observe the soils exposed in the perimeter footing excavation for the <br />addition. <br />2. Perform shallow hand auger borings to further explore localized subsurface <br />soil conditions. <br />3. Provide judgments regarding the suitability of the soils observed within <br />the excavations for support of the anticipated footing loads. <br />COMaUSIOMS <br />Based on our visual observations and hand auger borings# it is our opinion that naturally <br />occurring sandy lean clay to clayey sand and silty sand soils were present in the <br />majority of the footing excavation. These natural soils were judged suitable for support <br />of the proposed loadings. <br />Approximately 8’ west of the southeast addition corner# and at the southwest adiiiticn <br />corner# two small areas of disturlec) soils were encountered. These disturbed soils were <br />associated with trench backfill from a previous utility lines servicing the existing <br />house. At the southwest corner# a small grade beam will be constructed to span over the <br />utility trench. At the location 8» west of the southeast addition corner# we recommended <br />an additional 2’ of soils be subcut to allow the new footing to step underneath the <br />existing sewer pipe In this area. <br />The above recommendations were verbally given to Blair George at the time of our visit <br />and he Indicated he would follow our recommendations. <br />MITinTilfi AMI PBMECT IMFOBMATIOM <br />The addition will be wood-framed and constructed to abut the southwest building line of <br />the existing two-story house at 1376 Balder Park Road In Orono# Minnesota. The addition <br />will generally be two-stories in height with a stairwell extending approximately two and <br />ASAMIUTUAI.
