Mr. Gary Gleason, P.E. 6 January 17, 2001 <br /> GME Project No. 9256 <br /> The general grades around the site are at about elevation 965 . The <br /> normal water elevation of Lake Minnetonka, a few blocks to the east, is <br /> at about 929 .5 . It is our opinion that they hydrostatic groundwater <br /> table on this site, although it will fluctuate in elevation seasonally <br /> and annua�ly depending on local amounts of precipitation, evaporation, <br /> and infiltration, would not rise to such a level as to detrimentally <br /> affect the construction or performance of the proposed new building. <br /> REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS <br /> Discussion <br /> Based on the conditions found in the borings, it is our opinion that the <br /> proposed x�ew building can be supported on conventional spread footing <br /> foundations, after site preparation, to include stripping of topsoil and <br /> all below-grade remnants of the razed building (including footings, <br /> foundation walls, floor slabs, and existing underground utilities) , and <br /> placement of compacted granular fill to form a building pad. Because of <br /> the sensitive nature of the high moisture sandy silt and clayey silt; we <br /> recommend placing a "mud mat" of 2 to 3 inches of lean eoncrete at the <br /> b�se of all footing excavations . This would help limit soil disturbance <br /> during fox�ming. <br /> 6Mt CONSULTANTS,INC. <br />
