Geotechnical Update Report and Plan Review and Response to City of Carlsbad
Community and Economic Development Review for Martin Residence, Proposed
Single-Family Residential Development Adams Street, Carlsbad
1. 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 AO.1) for the above referenced residential
development. Copies of the Grading Plan (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 forthe
site development were outlined in the following technical reports:
"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.
"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.

If. Development Plan Review
Based on our review, the project Grading Plans (Plates I 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 Geotéchnical 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 all 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 Iof 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 investigation in accordance
with Chapter 16, Section 1613 of the 2013 California Building Code (CBC) and ASCE 7-10
Standard using the web-based United States Geological Survey, (USGS) ground motion

IV. Conclusions and Recommendations
Physical and geotechnical conditions at the project site remain substantially unchanged
from those reported in the referenced reports Landslides, geologic instability, or other
majorhazards which could preclude site development are not present at the property.
The attached grading plan (Plate 2) represents a feasible design for site development from
a geotechnical viewpoint All conclusions and recommendations provided in the
referenced reports. remain valid. The following amended and updated conclusions and
recommendations are also consistent with the current plans and should also be considered
where appropriate and as applicable: . .
Grading operations for building pad preparation prior to construction should be
completed as specified in the referenced reports.
In general, vertical cuts approaching 12 feet are planned in connection with the
building 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.-
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. competeAt
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. .. . . .
All temporary construction slopes should be constructed as outlined in the
referenced reports and as directed in the field. 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 unsupported slope conditions
for a prolonged period of time.
All temporary construction slopes will require continuous monitoring and
geotechnical 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
trenching/open excavations and safety of the workmen during construction. Hard
hats shall be worn at all time.
All retaining walls / 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 1st Review for UMP 15-01-Martin Residence
The fol,loviing 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..
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.
Revised in the previous section to the 2013 California Building Code.
Typically, drainage ditches are only 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.

d. Site grading and earthwork construction will not impact the adjacent properties and
public right-of-way provided our recommendations are incorporated into the final
designs and implemented during the construction phase. Added recommendations,
however, may also be necessary and should be given by the project geotechnical
consultant during site grading inspections for the protection of adjacent public and
private properties and should be anticipated.
Geotechnical Engineer of Record (GER)
Vinje & Middleton Engineering, Inc. will be the geotechnical engineer of record (GER) for
providing a specific scope of work or professional service under a contractual agreement
unless it is terminated or canceled by either the client or our firm. In the event a new
geotechnical consultant or soils engineering firm is hired to provide added engineering services, grading control engineering observations and compaction testing, Vinje •&
Middleton Engineering, Inc. will no longer be the geotechnical engineer of the record.
Project transfer should be completed in accordance with the California Geotechnical
Engineering Association (CGEA) Recommended Practice for Transfer of Jobs Between
Consultants.
The new geotechnical consultant or soils engineering firm should review all previous
geotechnical documents, conduct an independent study, and provide appropriate
confirmations, revisions or design modifications to his own satisfaction The new geotechnical consultant or soils engineering firm should also notify in writing Vinje &
Middleton Engineering, Inc. and submit proper notification to the City of Carlsbad for the
assumption of responsibility in accordance with the applicable codes and standards (1 997
UBC Section 3317.8).
Limitations
This geotechnical plan review is not a "Plan Check Review" and does not relieve the
responsibility of the project design consultant(s) and contractor(s) to get completely
familiarized with the requirements of the project soil report(s) and fully incorporate its
recommendations into the project design, plans and construction works, where appropriate,
and as applicable. Our review and comments are for general geotechnical conformance
of the project plans with the intent of the project soil report and design recommendations.
Review of structural and civil engineering calculations, architectural intent and structural
and civil engineering design modeling and basis, verification of set back requirements,
easements and right-of-ways, as well as code, city and county compliance are beyond
geotechnical engineering services.
