Project Description
The purpose of this report is to present a preliminary drainage and downstream review
for the proposed Bellamonte in the Highlands Mixed-use project in accordance with the
City of Renton requirements. The project is located at 316 Union Avenue NE within the
City limits of Renton.
The Bellamonte in the Highlands project is a proposal to create 26 town house units and
two retail/condo buildings on the existing property comprising of 1.00 acres. The
project is currently consists of three single-family homes with outbuildings and lawn.
These existing structures will be removed as part of the site construction.
The parcel is bounded to the North by retail/business use; to the east and south by
vacant un-developed property; and to the west across Union Ave by single-family units.
Review of Resources
Critical Drainage Area Map
• Maplewood Creek / Cedar River / Lake Washington Watershed
Flood plain/floodway (FEMA) Maps
• There is no mapped floodplain in the immediate area per the available FEMA
map.
Sensitive Areas
• Wetlands -There are no known wetlands located on the project. To the east
along Maplewood Creek is a wetland associated with the creek. This is
approximately 120 feet to the east.
• Streams and 100 Year Flood Plains -There are no streams or floodplains on
the property. Maplewood Creek is located approximately 150 feet to the east.
• Erosion Hazard Areas -There are no landslide hazard areas on this project.
• Landslide HaZilrd Areas -There are no designated sensitive slopes on or
adjoining the property.
• Seismic HaZilrd Areas -The area is not mapped as a seismic hazard area.
• Coal Mine HaZilrd Areas -The property does not appear to be located within
a designed coalmine hazard area.

• The underlining soils have been classified by Geospectrum Consultants, Inc. as
Glacial Till.
Flow Control Application
• The flow control for the project will comply with the 2005 KC Drainage Manual.
A proposed detention / water quality vault is located to the easterly side of the
project. The vault will discharge into the wetland (not within the wetland) on the
property to the east. The conceptual vault shown on the Drainage Plan is sized
to meet this standard for detention (flow control).
Water Quality Application
• The proposed project will trigger the threshold for water quality requirements.
The proposed vault will be sized to meet this requirement of the 2005 KC
Drainage Manual.
Landslide Hazard Drainage Area Map
• The site is not located in a landslide hazard drainage area.
Field Inspection
Offe Engineers has visited the site on several occasions. The most resent visit occurred
the morning of August 2, 2007. The site is vacant with houses and heavy weeds
growing near the houses. In the back (to the east) the property is over-grown by
blackberries and hard to access to the east. The site currently drains from west (Union)
to the east via sheet flow. Union Avenue NE is a fully improved roadway with storm
drainage facilities within the existing curb and gutter. A very minor amount (400 sq. ft.)
of Union Ave. will contribute to the on-site drainage facility when the new curb and
gutter is installed. The flow from the property sheet flows east approximately 150 feet
to Maplewood Creek. The Creek was dry on August 2, 2007 during a site review.
Maplewood Creek then flows south and east in a well-defined channel. There were no
visible signs of overflow or capacity issues with Maplewood Creek.

Dear Daniel,
This report presents the results of our geotechnical investigations and evaluations of
the feasibility of storm water infiltration within the subject properties. Our work was
performed in accordance with the scope and conditions of our proposal letter dated
October 9, 2004 and your authorization dated 10/20/04.
The proposed development is located on the east side of Union Avenue SE, south of
NE 4th Street in the city of Renton. An undated conceptual site development plan
prepared by Scott Dahlin was provided to us and .used as a reference for our
evaluations. Subsequently a site survey and development plan prepared by
GeoDatum, Inc., printed December 1s;2004was provided to' us for use in oui'i'eport.
We understand, based on discussions with Scott Dahlin, that the proposed infiltration
system would be most likely be a gra11ity infiltration tank (pipe) located adjacent and
parallel to the east property line. ·

SCOPE OF WORK
Our geotechnical services included subsurface exploration, engineering evaluations,
consultation with Scott Dahlin and the preparation of this report. The scope of 11VOrk
included the following specific tasks:
o Reviewed published geologic mapping of site vicinity.
o Observed the excavation of 4 test pits to depths ranging from 2.5 to 9 feet
below the ground surface to observe the subsurface soil conditions.
Locations of the test pits are shown on Figure 2.
o Continuously logged the subsurface conditions, as encountered in the
test pits at the time of excavation. Logs of the test pits are presented on
the summary sheets of Appendix A.
o Performed engineering evaluations of the site conditions and their impact
on the feasibility of onsite storm water infiltration.
o Prepared this geotechnical report summarizing our preliminary findings
and evaluations of storm water infiltration and (at Scott Dahlin's request)
recommendations for foundation design, site grading and site drainage.
EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS
The proposed development is located on the east side of Union Avenue SE, south of
41
h Street in the city of Renton as approximately shown on Figure 1.
The properties are currently developed with residential structures as shown in Figure 2.
Topography on the properties slopes down very gently to the east as shown on Figure
2. The contours of Figure 2 indicate a maximum elevation difference across the site
from the southwest comer to the southeast comer to be about 6 feet. The existing site
surface gradients are indicated to range from about 10% to less than 5%.
The properties to the north and south have similar topography but the property to the
east slopes down gently to moderately to a low area which we understand has been
designated a wetlands area.

Our test pits encountered a sequence of debris fill over loose weathered surface soils
becoming dense to very dense and hard/cemented relatively un-weathered glacial till at
shallow depths (below the natural surface).
Fill soil depth ranged :friilm about 1+ feet in Test Pit 4 to 5.5J~et in both Test Pits 1
arid 3. : The Ifill was generally sjlty sand with gravel but included, brick, plastic, metal,
asph~lt •and concrete debris. ' In general the fill depth was greatest at the east end of
the properties and diminished westward.
Natural subsoils encountered in our test pits indicate that the site is generally underlain
by weathered to fresh glacial till soils. The glacial till soils encountered at the site were
generally found to consist of silty fine sand with gravel. A dark brown layer of topsoil
was observed at the top of the natural soils at all test pit locations. The underlying
weathered glacial till soils 'N8f'e loose to medium dense to depths of about 1 to 3 feet
below the surface. The weathered soils ranged from moist to very moist and were
brown and red--brown. The less weathered to fresh glacial till soils underlying the
weathered soils were generally very dense/hard and cemented, moist and gray or gray-
t,rrn.,/11 \'.~th red"brown.

Durrng·excavation of the test pits, -rr~'ffll'.ter--or·!t~!,leFwas· btfstlt'Ved Soils
were generally classified as moist but moist to very moist soils were encountered 1n
Test Pit 1. Measures soil moisture content ranged from about 10 to 14 percent in the
moist soils and up to 28.9 percent in the very moist soils.
Subsurface Variations
Based on our experience, it is our opinion that some variation in the continuity and
depth of subsoil deposits and ground water levels should be anticipated. Due to the
depositional characteristics of the natural soils and seasonal ground water variations,
care should be exercised 1M1en interpolating or extrapolating subsurface soils and
ground water conditions betvveen or beyond the test pit locations.
Fill depths are expected to vary over the site, depending on the original natural ground
surface,.previous .gr,adiflg-ana--aRy-othera,previous onsite structures.

EVALUATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Geology
Review of published surface geologic mapping of the site vicinity (see Figure 1)
indicates that the site surface soils were mapped as glacial till soils (Qgt). These
glacial soils were deposited during the Vashon glaciation, the last glacial advance into
the Puget Sound area which ended approximately 13,500 years ago. Glacial till soils
are typically a compact mixture of clay, silt, sand and gravel which were deposited at
the base of the glacial ice.
Based on our subsurface explorations on the site, in our opinion the natural soils
encountered at the site are glacial till soils (Qgt) consistent with the referenced
geologic map.
Infiltration System Feasibility
Based on the subsurface conditions observed in the test pits it is our opinion that the
natural glacial till subsoils are not suitable for storm water infiltration. Although the
glacial till soils are technically sands, they contain a high percentage of fines and the
un-weathered soils are very dense and cemented and in our experience they have very
low permeability. The existing·fill>·and weathered soils are much less dense and have
higher permeability, however'their higher permeability and ability to infiltrate would for
the most part be negated by the presence of the very low permeability natural soils that
exist at relatively shallow depths
We understand that your proposed storm water infiltration system IM'.lUld likely be a
gravity infiltration tank (pipe) running parallel to the east property line. The system
IM'.lUld most likely be established within the existing fill soils encountered in the test pits
in the eastern site area.
Based on our experience and judgment, in our opinion, vertical downward infiltration of
water entering the existing fill and weathered soils will be limited to the depth of the
very dense/hard cemented natural glacial till soils. Due to the much lower permeability
of the very dense/hard natural soils, vertically infiltrating water will be forced to migrate
laterally away from !h_ec.sys_tep:and .doWA-ihe buried nati.lral ground surf-ace whiQh
appearsJo slope down.to.tbe.oeasL .. Lateral seepage IM'.luld then occur at much lower
seepage gradients which would resylt in much lower infiltration rates for the system,
likely below practical limits. In addition, the laterally infiltrating water would most liKely
emerge on the adjacent neiqhborinq property to the east ·with potential irnpacls nn
slope stab ii ity,
Page 4
j .:; .
Redhawk Constructio, ,, Inc. December i7, 2004
Therefore, considering all of the above, the feasibility of the proposed storm water
infiltration system at this site is, in our 01,>imion, unlikely and would likely have impacts
on the adjoinif')g property to the east. If further evaluation of the feasibility is
requested, we will need specific design plans for the system and will need to perform
infiltration tests within the fill/weathered soils and perform modeling analyses of the
seepage conditions (both of 'Nhich are beyond the scope of this preliminary study).
Structure Foundations
Conventional spread footings founded on undisturbed dense to very dense natural soils
should provide good support for the proposed stru9(ures. AH footings should be
founded at least 18 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade but should be
deepened as required to penetrate existing fill and weathered soils to bear on the
undisturbed dense to very dense natural soils. Sqware footings should be at least 24
inclies -wide and continuous wall footings should be ;:it least 1 S inches wide; Fnotings
constructed as recommended may be designed based on an allowable vertical bearing
pressure of2000 psf. ·
Where fill soils and/or unsuitable loose/medium dense natural are encountered,
footings should be deepened as required to penetrate the fill and unsuitable soils to
bear on undisturbed dense natural soils. To provide a level bearing surface, footings
should be stepped in areas where the dense bearing soil surface slopes. An average
step ratio no !;te'ic!pei'' fha'H 1'.5'.'1'-{lit\'riZontal:vertical) should be used to reduce
overlapping of foundation stresses .
As an alternative to deep spread footings to penetrate fill and unsuitable soils and/or
satisfy slope setback requirements, foundation loads may be transferred from the
recommended minimum foundation depths to the recommended bearing . soils by a
monolith of lean concrete having a minimum compressive strength of 1000 psi. The
width of an unreinforced lean concrete monolith should be at least as wide as the
footing or at least one-third of the monolith height, 'Nhichever is greater. Reinforced
monoliths should be designed by a structural engineer. A suitable width trench should
be excavated with a smooth edged excavator bucket (no teeth) to expose the
dense/very dense bearing soils under observation by our office and backfilled as soon
as possible with the lean concrete to the footing elevation .

expected to occur primarily during construction.

For lateral design, resistance to lateral loads can be assumed to be provided by friction
acting at the base of foundations and by passive earth pressure. A coefficient of friction
of 0.4 may be assumed with the dead load forces in contact with onsite soils. An
allowable static passive earth pressure of 250 psf per foot of depth may be used for the
sides of footings poured against undisturbed natural soils or properly compacted
structural fill.
The bearing values indicated above are for the total dead load plus frequently applied
live loads. If normal code requirements are applied for design, the vertical bearing
values may be increased by 50% for short durations of loading which will include the
effects of wind or seismic forces. Allowable lateral passive pressures may be increased
by 33% for wind and seismic forces.
Site Grading
Site grading is expected to be limited primarily to excavation for foundations and
subgrade preparation for slab floors and driveway.
Site Preparation: Existing vegetation, debris, existing fil I and/or loose or medium dense ··
soils should be stripped from the areas that are to be graded. During rough grading,
excess soils should be hauled off site and no material should be placed on slopes.
Soils containing more than 1 % by weight of organics may be used in planter areas, but
should not be used for, fill-beneath·b-uildtng · OF pavement areas Stumps, deb·r1s and
trash should be removed from the site. Subsoil conditions on the site may vary from
those encountered in the test pits. Therefore, the soils engineer should observe the
prepared areas prior to placement of any new fills.
Temporary Excavations: Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in our test
pits, it is our opinion that sloped temporary excavations in natural soils above the
ground water may be made vertically to depths less than 4 feet. Deeper temporary
excavations should be made at slope gradients no steeper than 1:1
(horizontal:vertical). It should be noted that the contractor is responsible for safety and
maintenance of construction slopes.
Structural Fill: Excavated onsite silty sand soils cleaned of debris are considered
suitable for general structural fill but not adequately free-draining for use as retaining

Subgrade Preparation: Existir,g fill and loose or otherwise unsuitable soils should be
stripped from areas for support of pavements or)ilabsson-grade and structural fill
shQuld be placed to the final · subgrades, Concrete slabs-on-grade and pavements
should be supported directly on dense natural soils or structural fill over dense natural
soils. The top 6 inches of subgrade fill should be compacted to at least 95 percent of
the ASTM D1557 maximum dry density.
Concrete slabs and pavements should have 2-way reinforcement and should have
frequent construction joints to reduce the potential for cracking. If a floor covering is to
be placed over an interior concrete slab the slab should be underlain by a capillary
break consisting of at least 4 inches of crushed gravel or a polyethylene vapor barrier
of at least 6 mil thickness. If a vapor barrier is used it should be covered with 2 inches
of clean sand to reduce punctures and aid in concrete curing.
Utility Trenches: Buried utility conduits should be bedded and backfilled around the
conduit in accordance with the project specifications. Where conduit underlies
concrete pavement or slabs-on-grade, the backfill above the pipe should be placed and
compacted in accordance with the recommendations for structural fill. If clean granular
fill is used for trench backfill it should be capped with 6 inches of onsite silty soils in
non-paved areas.
DfainageGontrol
Adequate positive drainage should be provided away from the structures and on the
site in general to prevent water from ponding and to reduce percolation of water into
subsoils. Granular backfill should be capped with paving or 6 inches of onsite silt soils.
A desirable slope for surface drainage is 2% in landscaped areas and 1 % in paved
areas.
Roof drains should be tightlined into the street storm drain system or other appropriate
discharge point (no surface discharge adjacent to structures). A permanent perimeter
drain, independent of the roof drain system, should be placed adjacent to the base of
the continuous exterior foundations. The drain should consist of a four-inch diameter
perforated PVC drain pipe placed in at least one cubic foot of drain gravel per lineal
foot along the base of the foundations. The drain gravel zone around the pipe should
be encapsul~~d with 8 membrana of Mirafi 140,filtercfabric-or. eq1,1ivalent,between the
:draiAagezone mater.ial . .a~Q0Stf&:S~iFbackfiiE;A.tleast one interior drain· should be
provided in the subfloor area connecting to the perimeter drain on the downslope side
at the lowest point.

Plan Review
This report has been prepared lo aid in the evaluation of this site and to assist the
owners and their consultants in the design and construction of the proposed
development. It is recommended that this office be requested to review the final design
drawings and specifications to determine if the recommendations of this report have
been properly implemented and to make any supplemental design recommendations
v.tiich may be required.
Observations and Testing During Construction
Recommendations presented in this report are based on the assumption that soil
conditions exposed during construction will be observed by our office so that any
necessary design changes or supplements may be made. All footing excavations
should be observed prior to placement of steel and concrete to see that they have
penetrated into bearing soils and that excavations are free of loose and disturbed
materials. Drainage control systems should be observed to ver.ify proper construction.
Proper fill placement and compaction should be verified with field and laboratory
density testing by a qualified testing laboratory

CLOSURE
This report was prepared for specific application to the subject site and for the
exclusive use of Redhawk Construction, Inc. and their representatives. Our 'NOrk was
pertormed directly by or under the supervision of the undersigned. The findings and
conclusions of this report were prepared with the skill and care ordinarily exercised by
local members of the geotechnical profession practicing under similar conditions in the
same locality. We make no other warranty, either express or implied.
Variations may exist in site conditions between those described in this report and
actual conditions encountered during construction. Unanticipated subsurtace
conditions commonly occur and cannot be prevented by merely making explorations
and pertorming reconnaissance. Such unexpected conditions frequently require
additional expenditures to achieve a properly constructed project. If conditions
encountered during construction appear to be different from those indicated in this
report, our office should be notified.

APPENDIX A
FIELD EXPLORATION
Our field exploration included a site reconnaissance and subsurface exploration
program. During the site reconnaissance, the surface site conditions were
noted, and the locations of the test pits were approximately determined.
The test pits were approximately located using existing features as a guide.
Elevations at the test pits locations were estimated from the site plan prepared
by GeoDatum combined with our own site measurements.
Test pits were advanced using a tractor-mounted backhoe. Soils were
continuously logged and classified in the field by visual examination, in
accordance with the ASTM Soil Classification system.
Logs of the test pits are presented on the test pit summaries sheets A-1 and A-2.
The test pit summaries include descriptions of the soils and pertinent field data.
Soil consistency and moisture conditions indicated on the logs are
interpretations based on the conditions observed in the field. Boundaries
between soil strata indicated on the logs are approximate and actual transitions
between strata may be gradual
