According to one of the recorded plat notes for this subdivision, you are required to submit an Engineering report by a Geolog¡st supporting the placement of your house location on the síte, including any possible mitigation for potential rock fall (if applicable). More specifically, the language included on the subdivision plat reads as follows: o prior to buitding permit, owners of Lots 63-66 ond 70-87 sholl retain on engineering geologist to ossrst in the siting of units with the building envelopes of those tots in attempt to avoid potentiol for rock foll hazards on those lots. This shoutd be completed prior to construction because if unstable rock feotures ore locoted, they may be more eosily removed and at lesser cost. Although we have essentially completed our plan review of your project - pending submittal to our office of the soils report and geologist report described above - we will place your building plans "on hold" until we receive these outstanding items. Thank you for your attent¡on to this matter.

We talked about the double normal reinforcing in the footing comment. Hesaidthathisintentwastoremindusoftheneedforadditional beamactionduethedifferenceinbearing material. What I understand is that the original 14 feet anomaly span requirement in the first report was the requirement that addressed that issue. Since we designed the foundation for that span as part of our design process, I don't believe a revision is required on our part. James is going to revise the letter to state the requirement more clearly for everyone's records. Regarding the moisture conditioning and compaction of the below footing soils, I suggested to James that he reach out to the owner/builder for clarification of what had been done and make the appropriate recommendations.

I wasn't sure if Albright Associates was sending to you or not. 1 Permit # BLRE-06 -17 -47 57 ,\LöruLrI1 t SLASSO'CIATES',! t:l'1 Memorandum To From Date Re : Trevor Ruonavaara, Terry Ruonavaara : Michael Petaisto, PE :. Septembet tL,2AL7 :'. Lot 7ó Springridge rü(/e have been asked to review rwo items on the Lat76 Springridge Resen¡e project to see if any structural revisions are necessary. The first item was a revision to part of the building's footing elevation. it is our understanding that a section of footing was lowered roughly 10" from what we had indicated in order to bear on suitalrle soils. The section begins roughly L2' kom the building's northwest corner and is along the remainder of the 'iyest 'ú/a11s to the southwest cotner. It continues the length of the building's south wall to the southeast corner and along the east wall to just south of the 7'4 7 /8" wall ¡og for the Entry. No structural changes are necessary as a result of the lowering of the footing. In order to prorect the wood columns, the crawlspace grade shall be below all top of footing elevations. The second irem was HP-Kurnar's repoft, dated June 29, ZOIT,regarding the obsen¿ation of the exposed soils to be used for the foundation support. The report indicated that the foundation should be designed ro span an unsupported length of 14'where the foundation transitions from being supported on native soils to fractured bedrock. The concrete foundation walls have been reinforced in such a manner as to span over this 14' length. After reviewing these two items, the buildiny's foundation can be constructed using the information shown on our 'Construction Set', dated A6/08/17. Please feel free to contact us if the¡e are any additional questions or concerns.
