Hetherington Engineering Inc., Third-Party Geotechnical Review (First Review) - Proposed New
Residence - Argonauta Street (APN:215-460-05), dated May 2, 2019.
PURPOSE
We have prepared the following addendum to our original report (Reference No. 1) to address city/third-
party comments referenced above (Reference No. 3) for the proposed new residence to be located at
Argonauta Street (APN: 215-460-05) in the City of Carlsbad (Reference No. 2). As we understand the
proposed development is consistent with that described in our original report, to consist of the
construction of a new, multi-level, single-family residence and typical hardscape/landscape
improvements. Our responses to review comments are incorporated into this addendum report.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The subject property is located at Argonauta Street (APN: 215-460-05), in the City of Carlsbad. As

described in the original report, the general topography of the site area consists of foothill terrain. The
site generally descends from south to north. Based upon review of site topography, the overall elevation
change is approximately 40 feet, with an approximate overall gradient of 15%. As stated in our original
report, the site is currently undeveloped. The subject site is covered with limited vegetative cover, a few
trees and isolated localized rock outcroppings.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development will consist of the construction of a new, multi-level, single-family residence
with basement elements, attached garage, driveway, retaining walls, hardscape/Iandscape areas and a
detention basin. We understand the residence will be founded with shallow, continuous-type
foundations. The proposed grading work will include new cut and fill slopes, including grading for
proposed driveway, excavations for basement pad, construction of new retaining walls, private storm
drain system and stormwater detention facilities.
In the developed condition, runoff is anticipated to be captured by a private storm drain system and
directed to the stormwater detention basin constructed at the northwest portion of the site. Structural
loads are anticipated to be commensurate with standard single-family residential construction with
basement elements.
SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS
Please see attached Geotechnical Map and Geologic Cross-Sections of the attachments herein, Figure A
and Figure B respectively.
S. GEOLOGIC SETTING
San Diego lies within the Peninsular Ranges of California. The Peninsular Ranges province varies
in width from approximately 30 to 100 miles and is characterized by northwest-trending mountain
range blocks separated by similarly trending northwest-trending faults (Norris and Webb, 1990).
Based upon the findings of our subsurface investigation and review of readily available pertinent
geologic and geotechnical literature the site is underlain by Jurassic-aged metamorphosed and
unmetamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks (Mzu, previously Kisp - Kennedy 2008). A
general description of each material type was presented in our original report. The general
distribution of these materials across the site is presented in figures A to C of this addendum.
As stated in our original geotechnical report, the site is not located within a currently established
Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. No active or potentially active faults with the potential for
surface rupture are known to pass directly beneath the site.. Therefore, the potential for surface
rupture due to faulting occurring beneath the site during the design life of the proposed residence

G(OTSCHNICAL CIViL. STRUCTURAL CONSULTANTS
is considered low. The site however, is in the seismically active southern California region, and
could be subjected to moderate to strong ground shaking in the event of an earthquake on one
of the many southern California faults as stated in out original report.
The proposed development's occupancy category is II. The 2016 CBC Seismic Design Parameters
provided in our original report still apply, additionally, Ss = 1.032 and Si = 0.4.
As described in the original report, foundations shall extend into competent material, as
determined in the field, to consist of competent rock material or recompacted fill.
SLOPES
We have reviewed the project's current preliminary grading plans (Reference No. 2); the proposed
improvements have been prepared in general accordance with our geotechnical recommendations. As
stated in our original report, the subject site gently slopes from south (front) to north (rear). The site does
not generally present any steep exposures or vertical geologic features. The average gradient of the
ungraded slopes is approximately 15 percent. Based upon our review of the proposed improvements,
including related grading and the subject site's geologic structure, are favorable in respect to slope
stability. The development of the subject site and proposed site improvements as identified on the
referenced plans and indicated on our cross sections, will not destabilize or negatively impact the natural
slopes that will remain.
SETTLEMENT
The maximum expected total static settlement for the proposed structure supported on.a conventional
foundation system utilizing a maximum allowable soil bearing pressure of 2,500 psf (deriving support in
competent re-compacted fill material) or up to 3,500 psf (in competent meta-volcanic material, per our
original report) is estimated to be on the order of 1 inch. Differential settlement if not expected to exceed
/2 inch over a distance of twenty (20) feet.
All design parameters and values provided in our original report (Reference No.1) remain applicable.
If you have any questions regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
