I. PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project proposes to subdivide a 0.53-acre parcel into two single-family residential lots and a
shared driveway tract. The site is bound by single-family residential homes to the north, south,
Jones Avenue to the east, and Interstate 405 to the west. Currently, there is an existing house on
the site and the house will remain in the western lot (lot I) The site generally slopes to the south
and southwest at approximately 5 to IO percent. There are rockery walls ranging from 2 to 4 feet
along northern and southern property lines. The soil of the site is mapped as Glacial Till (Qvt)
per the Preliminary Geotechnical Report by Ages Engineering, LLC.
Proposed Drainage Controls
The site storm drainage system has been designed according to the standards set forth by the
2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual (KCSWDM) and as amended by the City of
Renton. The total impervious area created for Lot 2 and the shared driveway is approximately
6,185 sf (See Area Calculations in the Appendix A). Since the project creates more than 5,000 sf
of impervious area, Full Drainage Review is required.
Flow control facility will not be required since the project doesn't generate O 1-cfs increase in the
existing site conditions I 00-year peak flow. Basic flow control BMP will be utilized for the
proposed lot
The project is exempt from the water quality requirement since it generates less than 5,000 sf of
new pollution generating impervious surface (PGIS).
II. CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS SUMMARY
CORE REQUIREMENTS

the 2009 King County Surface Water Design Manual.
Ill. OFF-SITE ANALYSIS
Existing Conditions:
Runoff from the western portion of the site generally sheet flows to southwest corner of the
property. The runoff eventually falls off steep embankment and enters the Highway 405 drainage
system. Based on the King County aerial topography, the flow then travels down south along the
east side of the Highway 405 and ends up in a wetland/pond located near the NE Park Drive
Interchange. The runoff is eventually discharged to the Lake Washington via series of storm
drain systems. (See Downstream Map)
Runoff from the eastern portion of the site generally sheet flows to southern neighbor and Jones
Avenue NE. There is a 12 storm system that begins with a Type I Catch Basin located near the
southeast corner of the property, across the Jones Avenue NE. (Photo I) This system captures the
developed street flows from the Jones Avenue NE and routes it down to NE 16th Street via series
of storm drain system. (Photos 2-10) The existing system continues down south on Jones Avenue
to the NE 12th Street where the runoff outfalls to a steep ravine. The runoff then ends up in a
wetland/pond near Highway 405 and NE Park Drive Interchange and eventually routed to Lake
Washington via series of storm systems in NE Park Drive and Lake Washington Blvd. (See
Downstream Map)
Developed Conditions
Runoff from the proposed roof area of Lot I will be dispersed to the natural discharged points
with the roof splash blocks and gravel filled trenches. Proposed access driveway runoff will be
collected via private storm system, and routed to the existing storm system in Jones Avenue NE.

IV. FLOW CONTROL AND WATER QUALITY FACILITY ANALYSIS AND
DESIGN
Flow Control BMPs
Based on the geotechnical report, infiltration is not feasible for the site. Full dispersion BMPs
are also not feasible due to the long native vegetated flow path requirements. Basic dispersion
BMPs are only options for the site.
Proposed Lot 1 :
Flow control BMPs for the proposed lot will be with gravel-filled dispersion trenches and roof
splash blocks. Two I 0-foot long trenches are proposed on southeast and southwest comers of
proposed lot I. All trenches will be at least IO feet from the proposed building and 5 feet from
the property line. Three roof splash blocks with 50' minimum vegetated flowpath segments are
also proposed around the building area.
For the proposed driveway in lot 2, basic sheet flow dispersion BMP will be utilized. A 2-foot-
wide, 4-inch-deep strip of crushed rock along with I 0-foot vegetated flow path will be provided
along the proposed driveway edge.
Shared Driveway:
Basic dispersion BMPs will not work due the location and size of the driveway. A private 6"
PVC storm system is designed to collect the runoff from the shared driveway and route it to the
existing catch basin in Jones Avenue NE near the southeast corner of the property.
All flow control BMPs proposed above are conceptual options for the approval of short plat and
they need to be finalized in the Building Permit/Construction Application Process.
Water Quality BMPs
Water quality BMPs are not required, since the overall pollution generating impervious area is
less than 5,000 square feet. (Shared Driveway 2,187 sf+ Driveway for Lot 2 500 sf= 2,687 sf)
V. CONVEYANCE SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Since the storm drain system is private and only serves for the shared driveway, a conveyance
system analysis is not required.
VI. SPECIAL REPORTS AND STUDIES

Arborist Report
September 2016 Page 9
Dylan Short Plat Preliminary Technical Information Report
VII. OTHER PERMITS
Building permits will be required.
VIII. CSWPPP ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
The potential for erosion within the site will be mitigated by use of erosion control measures
during clearing, grading, and site development activities. Filter fences will be installed along the
downhill perimeter of the site to protect adjacent properties from sediment-laden water.
Stockpiles and exposed disturbed areas will be covered to protect from erosion and sediment
runoff
Element I: Mark Clearing Limits.
All clearing, grading, sensitive areas, and buffers will be clearly marked in the field prior to
construction in accordance to the plans and specifications. Prior to beginning land disturbing
activities, including clearing and grading, clearly mark all clearing limits, sensitive areas and
their buffers, and trees that are to be preserved within the construction area. These shall be
clearly marked, both in the field and on the plans, to prevent damage and offsite impacts. Plastic,
metal, or stake wire fence may be used to mark the clearing limits.
Element 2: Establish Construction Access.
Construction access will be provided for the site. Driveway re-alignment should be completed
after all other construction is complete. Stabilize the construction access with rock per the storm
water plans if the driveway is disturbed. Access points shall be stabilized with a pad of quarry
spalls, crushed rock, or equivalent BMP prior to traffic leaving the construction site to minimize
the tracking of sediment onto all roads and accesses.
Element 3: Control Flow Rates.
Flow rates from the construction site are not expected to negatively impact the downstream
corridor. At all times, flow rates shall be controlled for this project. Natural drainage patterns
shall be protected as much as possible during construction, and concentrated flow should not be
permitted. Properties and waterways downstream from development sites shall be protected from
erosion due to increases in the volume, velocity, and peak flow rate of stormwater runoff from
the project site.
Element 4: Install Sediment Controls.
Silt fence should be used to protect all sensitive area slopes. Soils should be covered if not
worked for 7 days during the dry season or 2 days during the wet season. The street should be
swept each night or as required. If the minimum BMPs fail to retain sediment to the sight,
additional BMPs will be used.
September 2016 Page 10
Dylan Short Plat Preliminary Technical Information Report
Element 5: Stabilize Soils.
Soils shall be covered if not worked for 7 days during the dry season or 2 days during the wet
season. Soil stockpiles will be covered unless worked. Soil stockpiles shall be located away from
drain inlets and surface water discharge locations. Soil stockpiles shall be stabilized and covered
as needed or removed to an approved disposal site. Soils shall be stabilized at the end of the shift
before holidays or weekends if needed based on weather forecast.
Element 6: Protect Slopes.
The site does not contain any steep slope areas; however, it borders a steep slope to the west.
(Highway 405 embankment) Flows are dispersed exiting the site to the west so no slope
protection is anticipated.
Element 7: Protect Drain Inlets.
There are existing catch basins located downstream of the project. Filter fabric protection shall
be used for sediment control.
Element 8: Stabilize Channels and Outlets.
Existing or proposed channels or drainage outlets are not components of this project, thus
stabilization of these elements are not required.
Element 9: Control Pollutants.
Pollution generated from construction must be controlled at all times. Control of pollutants other
than sediments include the following:
•
•
•
•
All pollutants other than sediments shall be handled and disposed of in a manner that
does not cause contamination of stormwater.
Cover, containment and protection from vandalism shall be provided for all chemicals,
liquid products, petroleum products, and non-inert wastes present on the project site.
Maintenance and repair of heavy equipment and vehicles involving oil changes, hydraulic
system drain down, solvent and de-greasing cleaning operations, fuel tank drain down
and removal, and other activities which may result in discharge or spillage of pollutants
to the ground or into stormwater runoff must be conducted using spill prevention
measures, such as drip pans. Contaminated surfaces shall be cleaned immediately
following any discharge or spill incident. Emergency repairs may be performed on-site
using temporary plastic placed beneath and, if raining, over the vehicle.
Wheel wash or tire bath wastewater shall be discharged to a separate on-site treatment
system or to the sanitary sewer, if available.
Element 10: Control De-Watering.
De-watering is not anticipated for the site. In the event that dewatering is necessary, storm shall
be treated such that sediment remains on site. This shall be done by routing the storm water
through a straw filter, silt fence, and/or sediment trap.
September 2016 Page l l
Dylan Short Plat Preliminary Technical Information Report
Element 11: Maintain BMPs.
BMPs shall be inspected monthly and after every significant storm event, sediment shall be
removed from the BMPs as necessary for them to continue operating at the required performance
level. In the event that a BMPs has been damaged, it shall be replaced immediately.
Element 12: Manage the Project.
Construction activities shall be phased such that the impact to the area will be kept at a
minimum. Coordination will occur with all utility agencies that are affected by this project.
BMPs shall be inspected regularly and after each significant storm event. The Contractor will
provide a Certified Erosion and Sediment Control Specialist. If for any reason a BMPs is not
sufficient for the project, additional BMPs will be installed.

Project No. A-1278
As requested, we have conducted a prehmmary geotechnical study for the sub_Ject project. The
attached report presents our findmgs and recommendations for the geotechnical aspects of project
design and construction.
Our field exploration indicates the site is generally underlam by silty sand with gravel cons!Stent
with glacial till. The 1111 became dense and unweathered at a depth of 4.0 feet below surface
grades. We did not encounter groundwater seepage m any of the test holes excavated on site.
In our opm10n, the soil and groundwater condltlons at the site are suitable for the planned
development. The new structures can be supported on conventional spread fooung foundations
bearing on the ex1stmg orgaruc-free nari ve soils observed at a depth of 1.5 feet below surface
grades, or on structural fill placed above these native soils. Floor slabs and pavements can be
,1milarly supported. Due to the low permeability and relative density of the soils underlying the
site. the development stom1 water should discharge off of the site.
Detailed recommendations addressmg these issues and other geotechnical design considerations
are presented in the attached report. We trust the mformat1on presented is sufficient for your
current needs. If you have any questions or require additional information, please call.

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project will consist of dividing the existing residential lot into two residential lots. We
discussed the project with the site owner, and were provided with a notice from the City of
Renton that had a Storm Water Comments section indicating a geotechnical report is required to
provide information on the water table and soil permeability, with recommendations of
appropriate flow control BMP options with typical designs for the site. Based on our
conversation and review of the notice provided to us, we understand the existing residence on the
site will remain and a new single family residential lot will be established along the western end
of the site.
The eastern end of the site is currently occupied with an existing single-fam1ly residence.
Access to the existing residence is currently provided by a driveway that enters the lot at the NE
comer and curves back to exit the lot at the SE comer. We expect access to the new lot will be
by a driveway constructed along the north property line.
Detailed buildmg plans are currently not available. However. based on our experience with
similar projects m the vicinity of the site, we expect the new residence will be a two-to three-
story wood-framed structure with the main floor constructed with raised floors over a crawl
space. The attached garage will likely have a slab-on-grade floor. Foundation loads should be
relatively light on the order of l to 3 kips per lineal foot for connnuous footings, and up to 25
kips for column loads.
Due to the site being underlam with dense, relatively impermeable glacial till, and with a steep
slope immediately down gradient of the site. we expect the infiltration of the development storm
water will not be possible. Therefore, development storm water will discharge off of the site.
The conclusions and recommendations presented in this report are based on our understanding of
the above stated site and the planned project design features. If actual site conditions differ, the
planned project design features are different than we expect or if changes are made, we should
review them in order to modify or supplement our conclusions and recommendations as
necessary.
2.0 SCOPE
On June 29, 2016, we advanced three hand-augured Test Holes to a maximum depth of 5.5 feet
below surface grades. Using the information obtained from our subsurface exploration, we

3.0 SITE CONDITIONS
3.1 Surface
The sub1ect site is a residential parcel located at 1909 Jones Avenue '-IE m the Renton Highlands
area of Renton, Washmgton. The site 1s currently occupied with a single-family residence located
in the eastern end of the site. A driveway enters the lot at the NE corner and curves back to exit
the lot at the SE comer A gravel parking area exists along the north side of the existing
residence. A garden area has been delineated along the center of the sites' southern property line.
A rockery ranging in height from 2.0 to 5.0 feet exists between the existing residence and the
garden area. The site is bordered with existing residential lots to the north and south, Jones
Avenue NE to the easl and a slope down to Interstate 405 to the west.
Surface grades on the site slope down to the west at surface inclinations ranging from 5 to I 0
percent. There are flat areas along the eastern end of the site and in the garden area. .A slope
down to Interstate 405 exists beyond the sites· western property line. The lower portions of the
slope were graded during development of the interstate and were engineered to a surface
inclination of 100 percent (also referred to as a l: l (Horizontal:Vertical) slope). The upper
portions of the slope were graded to less steep mclmations. For a horizontal distance of 25 feeL
surface grades slope down to the west from the sites' NW comer at surface mclinat1ons of
approximately 62 percent. or a hotizontal distance of 25 feet. surtace grades slope down to the
Aile-Enµ:mt't'rm!l, LLC
~:,1_q:,_ ..,non
west from the sites· SW corner at surface inclinations of approximately 21 percent. Along the
center of the sites· western margin. the surface is relatively flat for a horizontal distance of
approximately 25 feet. Site vegetation consists of grass and typical landscape bushes and trees
around the existing single-family residence. The location of the site is shown on the Site Vicinity
Map provided in Figure l.
3.2 Soils
The soils we observed in the test holes generally consist of a thin layer of topsoil overlying native
silty sand with gravel consistent with glacial till.
ln all three of the test holes excavated on the site, we encountered 6 inches of grass roots and
topsoil overlying tan and orange, moist, medium dense silty sand with gravel to a depth of 1.5
feet below surface grades. Below 1.5 feet. the soils became tan. moist. and medium dense. At a
depth of 4.0 feet below surface grades. the native silty sand with gravel became dense. These
native soils are consistent with glacial till.
Figures A-I and A-2 present more detailed descriptions of the subsurface conditions encountered
in the test holes. The approximate test hole locations are shown on the Exploration Location Plan
provided in Figure 2.
3.3 Mapped Soils
According to the Geologic ,Hap of King Cmmfv. the soils in the vicinity of the site are mapped as
Glacial Till (Qvt). The glacial till was deposited during the Vashon stade of the Fraser Glaciation
approximately I 0.000 years ago. The glacial till was deposited along the base of the advancing
glacial ice and was consequently overrun by the continental ice mass. The glacial till soils are
described as a relatively impenneable well-graded mixture of sand, silt and gravel. The glacial
till. and all units under the glacial till soils, will typically be found in a very dense condition, and
will exhibit a high shear strength and low compressibility where undisturbed. The near surface
soils at the site have been disturbed by natural weathering processes that have occurred since their
deposition. No spnngs or grmmdwater seepage was observed on the surface of the site at the time
of our site visit. A copy of the Geologic ~fap for the subject site is provided in Figure 3.
3.4 Groundwater
We did not encounter groundwater seepage in any of the test holes excavated at the site.
However. we expect a perched water table may develop above the dense glacial till soils duting
the wet wmter months. The groundwater levels and flow rates will fluctuate seasonally and
typically reach their highest levels dunng and shortly following the wet winter months (October
through May).

CRITICAL AREAS
General
According to Section 4-11-030 in the City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC). Critical Areas are
defined as. ··wetlands. aquifer protection areas, fish and wildlife habitat, frequently flooded and
geologically hazardous areas as defined by the Growth Management Act and RMC 4-3-050 ...
According to Section 4-3-050 in the RMC. geologically hazardous areas that are considered
Critical Areas include steep slopes. landslide hazards, erosion hazards. seismic hazards. andior
coal mine hazards
4.2 Steep Slopes
According to Section 4-3-050-G.Sa in the City of Renton Municipal Code ( RM('). Steep Slope
Hazard Areas are defined according to two slope types. Sensitive Slopes and Protected Slopes.
Specifically the RMC defines these two slope types as follows:
"i. Sensitive Slopes: A hillside, or portion thereof, characterized by: (a) an average slope of
twenty five percent {25%) to less than forty percent (40%) as identified in the City of Renton
Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City; or (b) an average slope of forty percent
(40%) or greater with a vertical rise of less than fifteen feet ( 15") as identified in the City of
Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City: (c) abutting an average slope of
twenty five percent (25%) to forty percent (40%) as identified in the City of Renton Steep Slope
Atlas or in a method approved by the City. This definition exdudes engineered retaining walls.
ii. Protected Slopes: A hillside, or portion thereof. characterized by an average slope of forty
percent {40%) or greater grade and having a minimum vertical rise of fifteen feet (l S') as
identified in the City of Renton Steep Slope Atlas or in a method approved by the City."
Based on our site observations. the surface grades on the slope to the west of the site exceed 40
percent and therefore meet the critena for Protected Slopes. According to Section 4-3-050-G.2 in
the RMC. Protected Slopes do not require a Cnncal Area Buffer. However, they do require a 15-
foot strucn,ral setback.
4.3 Landslide
According to Section 4-3-050-G.Sb in the City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC), Landslide
Hazards are divided into four categories, Low, Medium, High, and Very High. Specifically the
RMC defines these four categories as follows:
"i. Low Landslide Hazard (LL): Areas with slopes Jess than fifteen percent ( 15%).
ii. Medium Landslide Hazard (LM): Areas with slopes between fifteen percent ( 15%) and forty
percent (40'!o) and underlain by soils that consist largely of sand. gravel or glacial tdl.
iii. High Landslide Hazards (LH): Areas with slopes greater than forty percent (40°,o). and areas
with slopes between fifteen percent ( 15°'0) and forty percent (40%) and underlain by soils
consisting largely of silt and clay.
Ag~ Engmt'>.!nng. LL(
~'.'1-845-7l)l)I)
Page 4
iv. Very High Landdide Hazards (LV): Areas of known mapped or identified landshde
deposits."
Based on the current site grades, the subject site is classified as having a Low Landslide Hazard.
The slope to the west of the subject site is classified as having a High Landsltde Hazard.
According to Section 4-3-050-G.2 in the RMC, High Landslide Hazard areas may not require a
Critical Area Buffer or Structural Setback, based on the results of a geotechnical report.
In our opinion, due to the site being underlain with medium dense to dense silty sand with gravel
consistent with glacial till. no Critical Area Setback or Structural Setback is necessary. Provided
surface water is controlled on the site, and all structures are provided with proper subsurface
drainage measures, the potential for a landslide to occur at this site should be considered low.
4.4 Erosion
According to Section 4-3-050-G.5c m the City of Renton Mumcipal Code (RMC), Erosion
Hazards are divided into two categories, Low and High. Specifically the RMC defines these two
categones as follows:
··;. Low Erosion Hazard (EL): Areas with soils characterized by the Natural Resource
Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as having slight or moderate
erosion potential, and a slope less than fifteen percent ( 15%).
ii. High Erosion Hazard (EH): Areas with soils characterized by the Natural Resource
Conser,ation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation Service) as having severe or very severe
erosion potential, and a slope more than fifteen percent 115%)."
According to the Natural Resource Conservation Service (formerly U.S. Soil Conservation
Service), the soils on the subject site have a slight erosion potential. The soils on the slope to the
"est of the site will have a severe potential for erosion. No development 1s planned on the slope
to the west oftbe site. Typical Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) measures must
be in place pnor to and maintained durmg construction activity at the slle. In our opmion, the
potential for erosmn is not a lim1tmg factor in slle development. Erosion hazards can be
mitigated by applying Best Management Practices (BMPs) outlined in the Washington State
Department of Ecology·s (Ecology) Slonmmler Mana1<emenl Ham,a//ur Wes/em Washing/on.
Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) measures, as required by the City of Renton,
should be in place prior to the start of construction activities at the site.
4.5 Seismic
According to Section 4-3-050-G.5d in the City of Renton Municipal Code (RMC), Seismic
Hazards are cti,~ded into two categories. Low and High. Specifically the R,'v!C defines these two
categories as follows:
'"i. Low Seismic Hazard (SL): Areas underlain by dense soils or bedrock. These soils generally
have site classifications of A through D. as defined in the lnternational Building Code, 2012
Ag¢-. Engmcxnng, I..LC
251-84~-700(!
Page 5
ii. High Seismic Hazard (SH): Areas underlain by soft or loose. saturated soils. These soils
generally have site classifications E or F. as defined in the International Building Code, 2012."
Due to the site being underlain with medium dense to dense silty sand with gravel consistent with
glacial till, according to the RMC, the site is considered a low Seismic Hazard Area.
liquefaction is a phenomenon where there is a reduction or complete loss of soil strength due to
an increase in pore water pressure. The increase in water pressure is typically induced by
vibrations. liquefaction mainly affects geologically recent deposits of loose, fine-grained sands
that are below the groundwater table. Based on the relative density and well-graded nature of the
glacial till soils underlying the site, the risk for liquefaction to occur at the site should be
considered negligible.
The state of Washington has adopted the International Building Code (!BC). Based on the soil
conditions encountered and the local geology, per chapter 16 of the (!BC) site class "C" can be
used in structural design. This correlates to Soil Profile Type Sc in the older Uruform Building
Code (l/BC). This is based on the inferred range of SPT (Standard Penetration Test) blow counts
for the upper I 00 feet of the site relative to hand excavation progress and probing with a ,'.:-inch
diameter steel probe rod. The presence of glacially consolidated soil conditions were assumed to
be representative for the site conditions beyond the depths explored.
5.0 CONCLUSIONS Al'I/D RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 General
Based on our study. in our opinion, soil and groundwater conditions at the site are suitable for the
proposed development The new structures can be supported on conventional spread footings
beanng on the existing native orgamc-free soils observed below a depth of l .5 feet on the site, or
on structural fill placed above these native soils. Floor slabs and pavements can be similarly
supported. No buffer will be required along the western property margin. However, a
structural setback of 15 feet will be necessary from the crest of the slopes to the west of
the site that exceed 40 percent for a vertical height of 15 feet. Based on our site
observations, the structural setback may encroach on the NW and SW site comers. Due
to the low permeability and relative density of the native soils underlying the site, the
development storm water should discharge off of the site.
The native soils encountered at the site contain a high enough percentage of fines (silt and clay-
size particles) that will make them difficult to compact as structural fill when too wet
Accordingly. the ability to use the soils from site excavations as structural fill will depend on
their moisnire content and the prevailing weather conditions at the time of construction. ff
gradmg activities will take place during the winter season. the owner should be prepared to
import free-<lraining granular matenal for use as structural fill and backfill.
The following sections provide detailed recommendations regarding these issues and other
geotcchnical design considerations. These recommendations should be incorporated into the final
design drawings and construction specifications.

~51-845-7()()!1 Page h
5.2 Site Preparation and Grading
To prepare the site for construction, all vegetation. organic surface soils, and other deleterious
materials including any existing structures, foundations or abandoned utility lines should be
stripped and removed from the new development areas.
Once clearing and stripping operations are complete, cut and fill operations can be initiated to
establish desired grades. Io order to achieve proper compaction of structural fill. and to provide
adequate foundation and floor slab suppot1, the native subgrade must be in a stable condition.
Prior to placing structural fill, and to prepare the foundation subgrade, all exposed surfaces should
be compacted with heavy vibratory compaction equipment to determine if any isolated soft and
yielding areas are present
If excessively soft or yielding areas are present and cannot be stabilized in place by compaction,
they should be cut to firm bearing soil and filled to grade with structural fill. [f the depth to
remove the unsuitable soil is excessive, using a geotextile fabric can be considered, such as
Mirafi HP270 or an approved equivalent, in conjunction with strnctural fill. In general. a
minimum of 18-inches of clean, granular strnctural fill over the geotextile fabric should establish
a stable bearing surface.
A representative of Ages Engineering, LLC should observe the foundation subgrade compaction
operations to verify that stable subgrades are achieved for support of structural elements.
Our study indicates the native surface soils encountered at the site contain a sufficient enough
percentage of fines (silt and clay-size particles) that will make them difficult to compact as
strnctural fill when too wet. Accordingly, the ability to use the soils from site excavations as
structural fill will depend on their moisture content and the prevailing weather conditions at the
time of construction. If grading activities are planned during the wet winter months. or the on-
site soils become too wet to achieve adequate compaction. the owner should be prepared to
import a wet-weather structural fill. For wet weather structural till, we recommend importing a
granular soil that meets the following gradation requirements:

*" Ba:-.t::d 11n the i,;, mch frad1<in
Prior to use, Ages Engineering, LLC should examine and test all materials to be imported to the
site for llSe as strnctural fill.
Strnctural fill should be placed in uniform loose layers not exceeding 12 inches and compacted to
a minimum of 95 percent of the soils' laboratory maximum d,y density as determined by
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Test Designation D-1557 (Modified
Proctor). The moisture content of the soil at the time of compaction should be within two percent
Agt....., Eng.mei::nng. LLC
251-84:'i-11)00
Page'"'
of its optimum, as detemuned by this same ASTM standard. In non-structural areas. the degree
of compacuon can be reduced to 90 percent.
5.3 Excavations
All excavations at the site associated with confined spaces, such as utility trenches and lower
level building and retaining walls. must be completed in accordance with local, state, and/or
federal requirements. Based on current Washington State Safety and Health Administration
(WSHA) regulations. the existing near-surface loose to medium dense weathered soils are
classified as Type C soils. The deeper unweathered dense to very dense soils would be classified
as Type A soils.
According to WSHA. for temporary excavations of less than 20 teet m depth, the side slopes in
Type C soils should be laid back at a slope inclination of 1.5: I (Horizontal:Vertical) or flatter
from the toe IO the crest of the slope and the side slopes in Type A soils should be laid back at a
slope inclination of 0.75: l (Horizontal:Vertical) or flatter from the toe to the crest of the slope.
All exposed slope faces should be covered with a durable reinforced plastic membrane during
construction to prevent slope raveling and rutting during periods of precipitation. These
guidelines assume that all surface loads are kept at a minimum distance of at least one half the
depth of the cut away from the top of the excavation slope and that significant seepage is not
present on the slope face. Flatter cut slopes will be necessary where significant raveling or
seepage occurs, or if construction materials will be stockpiled along the slope crest. lf these safe
temporary slope inclinations cannot be achieved due to property line constraints. shoring may be
necessary.
This information is provided solely for the benefit of the owner and other design consultants, and
should not be construed to imply that Ages Engineering. LLC assumes responsibility for job site
safety. It is understood that Job SJte safety 1s the sole respons1b1lity of the proJect contractor.
5.4 Foundations
The new foundations may be supponed on convent10nal spread footing foundations bearing on
the competent native organic-free native soils or on structural fills placed above these native soils.
Foundation subgrades should be prepared as recommended in the "Site Preparation and Grading"
section of this repon.
Perimeter foundations exposed to the weather should bear at a minimum depth of 1.5 feet below
final exterior grades for frost protection. Interior foundations can be constructed at any
convement depth below the floor slab. We recommend designing new foundations for a net
allowable bearing capacity of 2j00 pounds per square foot (psf). For short-term loads, such as
wind and seismic. a one-third increase in this allowable capacity can be used. With the
anticipated loads and this bearing stress applied, building settlements should be less than one-half
inch rota] and one-quarter inch differential.
For designing foundat,ons to resist lateral loads. a base friction coefficient of 0.35 can be used.
Passive earth pressures acting on the sides of the footings can also be considered. We
.'\~L-., Ellgmeermg. U.C Page~
~51-.':IA5-7000
recommend calculating this lateral resistance using an equivalent fluid weight of 325 pounds per
cubic foot (pct). We recommend not including the upper 12 inches of soil in this computation
because it can be affected by weather or disturbed by future grading activity. This value assumes

as described in the ··Site Preparation and Grading" section of this report. The values

5.5 Slab-On-Crade
Slab-on-grade t1oors should be supported on subgrades prepared as recommended in the "Site
Preparation and Grading" section of this report.
Immediately below the floor slab, we recommend placing a four-,nch thick capillary break layer
of clean, free-draining, coarse sand or fine gravel that has less than three percent passing the No.
200 sieve. This material will reduce the potential for upward capillary movement of water
through the underlying soil and subsequent wetting of the floor slabs. The drainage material
should be placed in one lift and compacted lO a firm and unyielding condition.
The capillary break layer will not prevent moisrure intrusion through the slab caused by water
vapor transmission. Where moisture by vapor ~-ansmission is undesirable, such as covered floor
areas. a common practice is ro place a durable plastic membrane on the capillary break layer and
then cover the membrane with a layer of clean sand or fine gravel ro protect it from damage
during construction, and aid in uniform curing of the concrete slab. It should be noted that if the
sand or gravel layer overlying the membrane is saturated piior to pouring the slab. it will not
assist in unifom1 curing of the slab, and may serve as a water supply for moisture transmission
through the slab and affecting floor covenngs. Additionally. if the sand is too dry, it can
effectively drain the fresh concrete. thereby lowenng its strength. Therefore. ,n our opm10n,
covering the membrane with a layer of sand or gravel should be avoided.
5.6 Lower Level Building and Concrete Retaining Walls
The magnitude of earth pressure development on below-grade walls. such as basement or
retaining walls. will greatly depend on the quality of the wall backfill and the wall drainage. We
recommend placing and compact,ng wall backfill as structural fill. Wall backfill below
structurally loaded areas. such as pavements or floor slabs, should be compacted to a minimum of
Agt.--s EngmL>enng. 1..LC
2),1-:-{45-7000
95 percent of its maximum dry density, as detennined by ASTM Test Designation D-1557
(Modified Proctor). In unimproved areas, the relative compaction can be reduced to 90 percent.
To guard against hydrostatic pressure development, drainage must be installed behind the wall.
We recommend that wall drainage consist of a minimum 12 inches of clean sand and/or gravel with
less than three percent fines placed against the back of the wall. In addition, a drainage collector
system consisting of 4-inch perfurated PVC pipe should be placed behind the wall to p1mide an
outlet for any accmnulated water. The drains should be provided with cleanouts at easily
accessible locations. These cleanouts should be serviced at least once every year. The wall
drainage material should be capped at the ground surface with I-foot of relatively impermeable soil
to prevent surface intrusion into the dramage zone. Alternatively, the 12-inch wide drainage layer
placed against the back of the wall can be replaced with a Mirafi GI OON Drainage Board, or an
approved equivalent If drainage board is used, the 4-inch perforated PVC pipe should be covered
with at least l 2 inches of clean washed gravel and the drainage board should be hydraulically
connected to drainpipe and surrounding gravel.
With wall backfill placed and compacted as recommended and the wall drainage properly
installed, unrestrained walls can be designed for an active earth pressure equivalent to a fluid
weighing 35 pcf. For restrained walls, an additional uniform lateral pressure of I 00 psf should be
included. These values assume a horizontal backfill condition and that no orher surcharge
loading, such as traffic, sloping embankments, or adjacent buildings, will act on the wall. If such
conditions exist. then the imposed loading must be included in the wall design. Friction at the
base of the wall foundation and passive earth pressure will provide resistance to these lateral
loads. Values for these parameters are provided in the "Foundations" section of this report.

5.7 Storm Water
According to the Core Requirements provided in Secnon4-6-030-E.3 in the RMC, the primary
option for the discharge of the storm water collected in the roof downspouts and foundation
drains is at its natural location. If the discharge cannot occur without impacting the downhill
properties or drainage systems, the collected storm water should discharge off of the site. A
downstream analysis and flow control will be needed pnor to approval from the City.
Based on our evaluation, the site is underlain with medium dense to dense silty sand with gravel
consistent with glacial till. Due to the low permeability and relative density of the native soils
underlying the site. the infiltration of the collected storm water will not be feasible. If discharged

on site, we expect the slope to the west (downhill) of the site may be adversely impacted.
Therefore. the development storm water should discharge off of the site.
5.8 Site Drainage
Surface,
Final exterior grades should promote free and positive drainage away from the building area. All
ground surfaces. pavements, and sidewalks should be sloped away from the structure. We
recommend providing a gradient of at least three percent for a minimum distance of ten feet from
the building perimeter. except in paved locations. In paved locations. a minimum gradient of one
percent should be provided. unless provisions are included for collection and disposal of surface
water adjacent to the structure.
Subsurface,
We recommend installing a continuous drain along the lower outside edge of the perimeter
building foundation. The fowidation drain should be tightlined to an approved point of conrrolled
discharge. The roof drain should not be connected to the footing drains unless a backflow device
will be installed, or an adequate gradient will prevent backflow into the footing drains.
Subsurface drains must be laid with a gradient sufficient to promote positive flow to the point of
discharge. All drains should be provided with cleanouts at easily accessible locations. These
cleanouts should be serviced at least once every year.
6.0 ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Ages Engineering, LLC should review the final pro3ect designs and specifications in order to
verify that earthwork and foundation recomme.ndanons have been properly interpreted and
incorporated into project design. If changes are made in the loads. grades. locations, configura·
lions or types of facilities to be constructed. the conclusions and recommendations presented in
this report may not be fully applicable. If such changes are made. we should be given the
opportunity to review our recommendations and provide written modifications or verifications. as
necessary.
We should also provide geotechnical services during construction to observe compliance with our
design concepts, specifications. and recommendations. This will allow for expedient design
changes if subsurface conditions differ from those anticipated prior to the start of construction.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION AND LABORATORY TESTING
Dylan Short Plat
Renton~ Washington
On June 29, 2016 we explored subsurface conditions at the site by excavating three hand-augured test holes to a
maximum depth of 5.5 feet below surface grades. The approximate test hole locations are shown on the
Exploration location Plan provided in Figure 2. The test hole logs are presented on Figure A-2. '
A geotechnical engineering representative from our office conducted the field exploration, maintained a log of
each test hole and, classified the soils encountered, collected representative soil samples, and observed pertinent
site features. All soil samples were visually classified in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System
(USCS) described on Figure A-1.
Representative soil samples obtained from the test holes were placed in sealed containers and taken to our
laboratory for further examination and testing. The moisture content of each sample was measured and is
reported on the test hole logs.
