Adams Street, Carlsbad I. . Introduction We have received and reviewed.· the most current project plans prepared by Sowards & Brown Engineering (9 marked up sheets, no date), and the Site Plan prepared by Howard Anderson & Associates Architects (sheet A0.1) for the· above referenced residential development. Copies of the Grading Plari (sheets 4 and 5 of 9 by Sowards & Brown Engineering) are reproduced and-included as Plates 1 and 2 .respectively. We are also in receipt of the City of Carlsbad 1st Review for HMP 15-01..:Martin residence dated February 25, 2015. A copy of the pertinent review page is attached. Geotechnical conditions at the project property were previously studied by this office in regards to soil and geotechnical conditions. Our conclusions and recommendations for the site development were outlined in the following technical reports: A "Geotechnical Plan Review Update, . Proposed Single;.family Residential Development.Adams Street, Carlsbad, (A.P.N. 206-200-03)," Job#13-234-P, report dated November 7, 2013. • B. "Preliminary Soil and Geotechnical Investigation, Parcels A, B, C, APN # 260-200- 03, 04, & 05, Adams Street, Carlsbad, California," Job #98-257-P, report dated August 10, 1998. The above-referenced reports were reviewed in connection with this letter, and are on file with our office. Copies may be obtained upon request. As part of the update and plan review, the site was visited by our project geologist on April 28, 2015. The purpose of this transmittal is to review the attached grading plans and ensure their compatibility to site indicated geotechnical conditions and current codes of standards. Also included are responses to the City of Carlsbad review letter dated February 25, 2015. Mr. Neil Martin May 5, 2015 Page 2 II. Development Plan Review Based on our review, the project Grading Plans (Plates 1 and 2) are in substantial compliance with the referenced Geotechnical Investigation Reports, and depict a feasible development design from a geotechnical point of view. Additionally, the attached plans are substantially unchanged from those used for our most recent Geotechnical Plan Review Update Report (Reference A), dated November 7, 2013. The property is underlain by stable and competent Pleistocene Age sandstone terrace deposits (Qt) atop Eocene Age formational sandstone rocks with shallow surficial soils. The project Grading Plan (Plate 2) depicts the construction of a multi-level, single-family residential structure in the central portion of the property. An S-shaped driveway will connect the residence to Adams Street. Driveway gradients will approach 20% maximum that terminates at a level motor court and garage. Retaining and basement walls will be utilized for ground transitioning from the garage to the adjacent dwelling basement and for achieving the upper driveway profiles and lower motor court/garage pad grades. Retaining walls/ basement walls will approach 13 feet high maximum. The residence will consist of split level construction with a lower basement type floor proposed at 33.9 feet in the east section of the dwelling, ascending to 35.0 feet in the central portion of the dwelling, and then to 37.4 feet in the west section of the dwelling. Vertical cut excavations on the order of 12 feet and transition retaining walls on the order of 15 feet high are proposed for establishing residence's lower basement grades and upper floor levels planned at 51 feet elevation (MSL). Associated improvements will consist of a swimming pool and spa with surrounding concrete decking proposed south of the dwelling at elevations ranging from near 34 feet to 38 feet (MSL) connected by stairways. The pool water level is planned at 34.1 feet. Bioretention basins are planned along the eastern and western property margins. Exposed graded cut or fill embankments are not planned with all ground transitions achieved by retaining and building basement type walls. Project earthworks associated with development of level building surfaces will chiefly consist of cut excavations and wall backfilling operations. Earthwork quantities shown on the plans indicate there will be 990 yds. of cutting, 560 yds. filling, leaving 430 yds. to be exported. Ill. Seismic Ground Motion Values Seismic ground motion values were determined as part of this investig~tion in accordance· with Chapter 16, Section 1613 of the 2013 California Buiiding Code (CBC) and ASCE 7-10 Standard using the web-based United States Geological Survey (USGS) ground motion V!NJE & MIDDLETON ENGINEERING, INC. • 2450 Auto Park Way• Escondido, California 92029-1229 • Phone· (760) 743-1214 Mr. Neil Martin May 5, 2015 Page 3. calculator.

Physical and geotechnical conditions at the project site remain substantially unchanged • from those reported in the referenced reports. Landslides, geologic instability, or other major.hazards which could preclude site development are not present·at the property. The attached grading plan (Plate 2) represents a feasible.design for site developmentfrom a geotechnical viewpoint. All conclusions -and • recommendations provided in the referenced reports. remain valid. The following amende~ and updated conclusions and • recommendations are also consistent with the currentPlans and should also be considered where appropriate and as applicable: • 1. Grading operations for building pad preparation prior to construction should be completed as specified in the referenced reports. In generai, vertical cuts approaching 12 feet are planned in connection. with the . bujlding pad and garage pad construction. Very hard rock or unusual grading problems are not expected. Excavations to complete grading will likely be achieved · with moderate efforts using medium·size bulldozers or trackhoes All excavations, grading, earthworks, construction, and bearing soil preparation should be completed in accordance with Chapter 18 (Soils and Foundations) and Appendix "J" (Grading) of the 2013 California Building Code (CBC), the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction, City of Carlsbad Grading Ordinances, the requirements of the governing agencies and following sections, wherever . appropriate and as applicable: • • • 2. All fill materials, processing, placement and compaction requirements remain the same as specified. Geotechnical foundation requirements .and soil design parameters will also remain unchanged.

All new backfills should be appropriately keyed-in and benched into competent Terrace Deposits, as directed in the field. All new fills should be compacted to a minimum 90% of the laboratory standard out to the slope face, unless otherwise specified. 4. All temporary construction slopes should be constructed as outlined in the referenced reports and as directed in thefjeld. Face of temporary slopes should be protected from excessive runoff or rainfall and stockpiling the excavated materials near the top of construction embankments should be disallowed. Construction . should be completed in a timely manner minimizing unsuppor,:ed slope cc;>nditions for a prolonged period of time. All temporary construction. slopes will require continuous .monitoring and • geotephnical • inspections during the excavation operations. • Additional recommendations including revised slope gradients, greater set backs, completing excavations in limited sections and temporary shoring/trench shield support should be given at that time as necessary. The project contractor shall also obtain appropriate permits, as needed for grading works near adjacent properties and conform . to Cal-OSHA and local governing agencies' • requirements for trenc:hing/open excavations and safety of the workmen during construction. Hard hats shall be worn at all time. 5. All retaining walls I basement walls should be provided with well performing backdrain systems as shown on a Retaining Wall Drain Detail, attached as Plate 3. V. Response to City·of Carlsbad 1·st Review for HNiP 15-01-Martin Residence The following comments are in response to the City of Carlsbad review letter dated February 25, 2015 under the Engineering section, issue number 6, a through d. • a. Factoring the grading quantities shown on the current plans (990 yds. cut, 560 yds. fill, and 430 yds. export), our soil analysis of the property remains unchanged. b. Revised in the previous section to the 2013 California Building Code. . c. • Typically, drainage ditches are oniy recommended for graded embankments. Based on the grading plan included herein as Plate 1, exposed graded embankments are not planned. Therefore, drainage ditches are currently not warranted.
