OWNER-BUILDER
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
FORM
B-61
Development Services
Building Division
1635 Faraday Avenue
442-339-2719
www.carlsbadca.gov
OWNER-BUILDER ACKNOWLEDGMENT FORM
Pursuant to State of California Health and Safety Code Section 19825-19829
To: Property Owner
An application for construction permit(s) has been submitted in your name listing you as the owner-builder of the
property located at:
site Address 2275 Nob Hill Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008
The City of Carlsbad ("City") is providing you with this Owner-Builder Acknowledgment and Verification form
to inform you of the responsibilities and the possible risks associated with typical construction activities issued
in your name as the Owner-Builder.
The City will not issue a construction permit until you have read and initialed your understanding of each
provision in the Property Owner Acknowledgment section below and sign the form. An agent of the owner
cannot execute this notice unless you, the property owner, complete the Owner's Authorized Agent form and
it is accepted by the City of Carlsbad.
INSTRUCTIONS: Please read and initial each statement below to acknowledge your understanding and
verification of this information by signature at the bottom of the form. These are very important construction
related acknowledgment s designed to inform the property owner of his/her obligations related to the requested
permit activities.
I. ~ I understand a frequent practice of unlicensed contractors is to have the property owner obtain an "Owner-
Builder" building permit that erroneously implies that the property owner is providing his or her own labor and
material personally. I, as an Owner-Builder, may be held liable and subject to serious financial risk for any injuries
sustained by an unlicensed contractor and his or her employees while working on my property. My homeowner's
insurance may not provide coverage for those injuries. I am willfully acting as an Owner-Builder and am aware of
the limits of my insurance coverage for injuries to workers on my property.
II. ~I understand building permits are not required to be signed by property owners unless they are responsible
for the construction and are not hiring a licensed contract or to assume this responsibility.
111. ~I understand as an "Owner-Builder" I am the responsible party of record on the permit. I understand that I
may protect myself from potential financial risk by hiring a licensed contractor and having the permit filed in his
or her name instead of my own.
IV. lMA.,_1 understand contractors are required by law to be licensed and bonded in Ca lifornia and to list their license
numbers on permits and contracts.
V. ~ I understand if I employ or otherwise engage any persons, other than California licensed contractors, and
the total value of my construction is at least five hundred dollars ($500), including labor and materials, I may be
considered an "employer" under state and federal law.
1 REV. 08/20
Owner-Builder Acknowledgement Continued
VI. ~I understand if I am considered an "employer" under state and federal law, I must regist er with the st ate
and federal government, withhold payroll taxes, provide workers' compensation disability insurance, and
contribute to unemployment compensation for each "employee." I also understand my failure to abide by these
laws may subject me to serious financial risk.
VII. ~I understand under California Contractors' State License Law, an Owner-Builder who builds single-family
residential structures cannot legally build them with the intent to offer them for sale, unless all work is performed
by licensed subcontractors and the number of structures does not exceed four within any calendar year, or all of
the work is performed under contract with a licensed general building contractor.
VIII. t>'W'--I understand as an Owner-Builder if I sell the property for which this permit is issued, I may be held liable
for any financial or personal injuries sustained by any subsequent owner(s) which result from any latent
construction defects in the workmanship or materials.
IX. ~ I understand I may obtain more information regarding my obligations as an "employer" from the Internal
Revenue Se rvice, the United States Small Business Administration, the California Department of Benefit
Payments, and the California Division of Industrial Accidents. I also understand I may contact the California
Contractors' State License Board (CSLB) at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or www.cslb.ca.gov for more information
about licensed contractors.
X. ~ I am aware of and consent t o an Owner-Builder building permit applied for in my name, and understand
that I am the party legally and financially responsible for proposed construction activity at the following address:
2275 Nob Hill Drive, Carlsbad, CA 92008
XI. fll!M... I agree that, as the party legally and financially responsible for this proposed construction activity, I will abide
by all applicable laws and requirements that govern Owner-Builders as well as employers.
XII. ~I agree to notify the issuer of this form immediately of any additions, deletions, or changes to any of the
information I have provided on this form.
Licensed contractors are regulated by laws designed to protect the public. If you contract with someone who
does not have a license, the Contractor's State License Board may be unable to assist you with any financial loss
you may sustain as a result of a complaint. Your only remedy against unlicensed Contractors may be in civil court.
It is also important for you to understand that if an unlicensed Contractor or employee of that individual or firm
is injured while working on your property, you may be held liable for damages. If you obtain a permit as Owner-
Builder and wish to hire contractors, you will be responsible for verifying whether or not those contractors are
properly licensed and the status of their workers' compensation coverage.
Before a building permit can be issued, this form must be completed, signed by the property owner and returned
to the City of Carlsbad Building Division.
I declare under penalty af perjury that I have read and understand all af the information provided on this form and that my responses, including my
authority to sign this form, is true and correct. I am aware that I have the option to consult with legal counsel prior to signing this form, and I have
either (1) consulted with legal counsel prior ta signing this form or (2) have waived this right in signing this form without the advice of legal counsel.

Subject: Geotechnical Observations and Retaining Wall Evaluation
Mueller Property Reta ining Walls
2275 Nob Hill Drive
Carlsbad, Ca lifornia
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mueller:
In accordance with your request, a representative of Geotechnica/ Exploration,
Inc. visited the subject site and performed an evaluation of the soil conditions in the
area of the existing retaining walls in the rear yard on the east side of the existing
residence (see Figure No. I, Vicinity Map, for site location). The existing keystone
retaining walls range from 3 to 6 feet high and total approximately 150 f eet in length
utilizing a gravel leveling pad founded on compacted fill soil. As part of our
evaluation, we observed and evaluated the surficial soil cond itions on the descending
slope in the southeast corner of the lot where the keystone retaining walls were built.
It is our understanding that the existing keystone retaining walls were built without
a permit and the City of Carlsbad is requiring an evaluation of the wall construction
and soil conditions prior to inspection and finalizing the permit. See Figure No. II,
Plot Plan, for location of walls, exploratory excavations, and other information.
The field work, conducted on October 13, 2023, consist ed of excavating four
exploratory test pit s/hand auger borings adjacent to the existing retaining walls (see
Figure Nos. IIIa-d for excavation logs and Figure No. IV for soil information). Our
observations revealed that the keystone retaining walls are underlain by

approximately 1.5 to 8 feet of medium dense, silty sand fill soil over dense formation.
The retaining walls were built on an approximately 14-foot-h igh fill slope and has a
gradient of approximately 2.0:1.0 (horizontal to vertical).
Our site observations after wall construction revealed that the existing retaining walls
are underlain by good-bearing compacted fill or dense formational soil and a 10-inch-
thick, crushed rock gravel leveling pad. Based on photographs provided by the
contractor, a perforated subdrain pipe wrapped in filter fabric was placed behind the
base of the walls and outlets at the bottom of the slope at the east property boundary.
In addition, photographs show the 6-foot-high wall is backfilled with on-site silty sand
and t hree layers of 4-foot-wide geogrid. The 5-foot-high wall has t wo layers of
geogrid and the 3-foot-high wall has one layer of geogrid. According to the contractor
that built the retaining walls, the geogrid layers consisted of Miragrid 2XT that were
placed every 2 feet.
In our opinion, the existing keystone walls and silty sand backfill material appear
stable. Based on soil probing of the footing excavation and probing of the surf ace
soil behind the wall, the backfill appears to be properly compa cted. The keystone
wall provides positive drainage and protection from su rface erosion.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The following conclusions and recommendations are based on field observations
conducted by our firm in conjunction with our knowledge and experience with t he
soils in this area of the City of Carlsbad.

1. It is our opinion that the keystone walls were placed on a gravel layer and
founded on firm compacted fill or dense formational soil with adequate bearing
capacity. The walls should remain stable as long as proper surface and
subsurface drainage is provided.
2. Based on the observed depth of the foundation for the keystone walls, it is our
opinion that a setback to the slope face of at least 5 feet has been provided.
3. The existing 3-to 6 -feet-high retaining walls, built of Compact II keystone
blocks, gravel leveling pad and soil backfill, should comply with the minimum
factors of safety for bearing, overturning and sl iding per the standard design
plans provided by RCP. The so il bearing pressure produced by the keystone
r etaining wall foundation is less than 1,000 pounds per square foot (psf). The
factor of safety against soil bearing failure, safety against sliding and
overturning should be 1.5. The maximum exposed height of keystone wall is
6 feet. For review purposes, we considered the wall embedment as 1 foot and
the maximum exposed height as 6 feet, and, as such, the existing wall is
considered acceptable. We did a si milar review for the 5-foot-high and 3-foot-
high walls and found both to be acceptable as well. Refer to Appendix A, Slope
Stability Calcu lations, for more information.
4. It is our opinion t he existing wall may be left as is. Proper drainage should be
provided at the top of the walls at all times to drain water runoff away from
the walls.

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET
MIRAGRID 2XT
MIRAGRID41 2XT biaxial geogrid is composed of high molecular weight, high tenacity polyester mult itilament yarns woven in tension
and finished with a PVC coating. MIRAGRID 2XT geogrid is inert to biological degradation and resistant to naturally encountered
chemicals, alkalis, and acids.
MIRAGRID 2XT geogrid is used as soil reinf orcement in MSE structures such as segmental retaining walls, precast modular b lock walls,
wire faced walls, geosynthetic wrapped faced walls and steepened slopes. MIRAGRID 2XT is also used in MSE stabilized platforms for
voids bridging, embankments on soft soils, landfill veneer stability, reducing differential settlement and tor foundation seismic stability.
TenCate Geosynthetics Americas (A Solmax Company) is accredited by Geosynthetic Accreditation Institute -Laboratory Accreditation
Program {GAi-LAP).
