PROJECT NUMBER: 07-4320
SUBJECT: Excavation Inspection of 812 Sitka Street,
City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado
REFERENCED SOIL REPORT: Kiva Engineering #5936-01-01-01
SOILS EXPOSED IN EXCAVATION: Clayey, slightly gravelly sands
On January 29, 2007, we visually observed the excavation for the proposed residence at the above
referenced site. At the time of our observation the excavation was complete. The excavation ranged
in depth from two (2) to three (3) feet below original grade.
Based on our observation the soils appear consistent with the above referenced soils report which
recommends that the structure be supported by a continuous spread footing foundation bearing on
native, undisturbed soils.
It is further advised that backfill around the foundation should be compacted to reduce settlement
and slope at a 10% grade away from the foundation walls. Downspouts and sill cocks should.
discharge into splash blocks or long downspout extensions that extend beyond backfill limits.

RE: Sill Plate and crawl space bearing wall observation for the residence under construction at
812 Sitka Street, City of Fort Collins, Larimer County, Colorado
CDS Project No. 07-4320
Dear Joe:
On February 8, 2007, we visually observed the sill plate and the crawl space bearing wall at the
above referenced site. At the time of our observation, these items appeared to be in general conformance
with the foundation plan by Kiva Engineering (Project No. 5936-01-01-02, dated December 12, 2006).
The. LSTA straps were not installed at the crawl space bearing wall at the time of this inspection;
however, we were informed they would be installed after the house is in place.
Furthermore, we observed that the STHD10 holdowns had not been installed at the required
locations around the garage door opening. It is our opinion that Simpson HTT22's, or equal, could be
used in lieu of the Simpson STHD10's. This tie shall be installed per manufacturer's specifications.
Please contact our office if you have any questions concerning this information.
