The tan lean clay is undisturbed glacial till and was found to be quite stiff. <br /> The map below shows the subject property outlined in light blue on an aerial photograph. Also <br /> superimposed on the map are the boundaries of soil types taken from the April 1974 edition of the Soil <br /> Survey of Hennepin County Minnesota. The soil type names have been updated to conform to more <br /> current editions of said soil survey. <br /> ,it <br /> y <br /> -14 <br /> IF <br /> Z <br /> ^: <br /> ,,f <br /> ` . . <br /> y <br /> Figure 2— Soil boundaries around 4731 North Shore Drive <br /> The subject property lies within a soil mapping unit named Lester- Kilkenny complex. These soils are <br /> competent for home construction and provide adequate soil bearing quality for single family structures <br /> such as the one you are considering for this site. These soil units were formed from glacial moraine <br /> consisting of glacial till which is an undifferentiated mix of sand, silt and clay. Locally, Lester— Kilkenny <br /> soils are lean clay and clay loam. The physical locations of the soil boundaries are somewhat <br /> approximate however because the soil unit is surrounded by similar units differing only by the degree of <br /> surface slope, they can be expected to be accurate for soil composition. <br />
