Dear Saima Qureshy:
Following our meeting with Mr. Don Neu and Rick Clark, I further studied the topography
and made an additional visit to the site. It appears clear to me that the area of concern (the
small slope area over 40% within the proposed building) is the result of material being pushed
onto our subject site. Please note the property to the west. It appears that, in order to achieve
a larger pad, material was placed onto our site from the lot to the west.
As a mitigative measure, I have designed corrective remedial grading to return the site to its
original surface condition. Please see the attached plan. The result is that, by returning the
surface configuration to its native state, there is no area within the building envelope that is
over 40% slope. I reviewed the above (including the corrective remedial grading) with Mr.
Jeremy Riddle, City of Carlsbad Project Engineer. Mr. Riddle indicated to me on April 15,2002
that he does not object to the plan. Additionally, it is necessary to perform the remedial
grading to insure stability for our structural walls. Please see the accompanying letter from
the project soils engineer.
Should you have any questions, or need additional information, please call.
Sincerely,
Richard B. Hill, RCE 24765
