86-200 <br />Honeywell, Inc. -2- May 14, 1986 <br />approximate dimensions of 2 <br />1 <br />A subdivision platt showing the lot location and property lines <br />was provided to us in addition to an architectural drawing of the <br />house floor plan showing plan dimensions. We understand that <br />proposed plans are preliminary. Proposed floor, footing, and <br />exterior grades have not been finalized. Proposed foundation <br />loads were not available however, we anticipate that the foun- <br />dation loads are light. <br />ENGINEERING OBSERVATIONS <br />No staking has been provided at the site as a reference for <br />determining locations or elevations. Therefore, it should be <br />understood that the locations and elevations given in this report <br />are very approximate. <br />Our observation was made on May 5, 1986. In general, the pro- <br />perty consititutes the top of a hill. Existing grades slope <br />downward from the center of the property. A relief ranging from <br />approximately 5 feet to 14 feet exists to the perimeter of the <br />property. We understand that the house is to be located near the <br />top of the hill. <br />To help evaluate soil and apparent ground water conditions, <br />several hand auger probes were taken to depths of. 3 to 4 feet <br />below existing grades. These probes generally encountered 1 to 2 <br />feet of topsoil underlain by lean clays and sandy lean clays. <br />The clays were noted to have a mottled coloration and, in some <br />cases, slightly rust stained. Based on the soils' resistance to <br />angering, the clays were estimated to be in a medium to rather <br />stiff condition. The clays were also generally noted to be in a <br />very moist to wet condition. <br />At the lowest elevations of the property, near the southeast pro- <br />perty corner, some apparent ground water seepage was noted on the <br />road pavement at the perimeter of the property. <br />The mottled coloration and rust staining noted within the soils <br />encountered a: our hand auger probe locations indicates that <br />ground water has fluctuated to within 4 feet of ground surface. <br />It should be noted that we have not performed long-term water <br />level readings. To determi., : current static ground water <br />table, a deep test boring or est pit would be required to <br />periodically monitor the groun1 water levels. It should be <br />
