Gentlemen:
On September 15, 1999, we visually observed the excavation at Lot 3, Overlook 4th Subdivision.
(4315 Mesa View Lane), a subdivision of Fort Collins, Colorado. The purpose of this
observation was to verity that the subsurface conditions encountered in the excavation are
generally consistent with those outlined in the soils report performed by_foundation & Soils.
Engineering Inc., Job No. 1419-12-01-01 dated August 16, 1994. This letter is not intended to he
a summary of the soils report and does not meet the disclosure requirements of Colorado Senate
Bill 13, 6-6.5-101.
At the time of our inspection, the excavation had been completed. The garage level excavation
revealed sandy clay. The basement level excavation revealed silty sand. Groundwater was not
observed within the excavation.
These subsurface conditions exposed in the excavation appeared to be generally consistent with
those described in the above referenced soils report, which recommends a balanced spread footi ng
type foundation system for these subsurface conditions. It is our opinion that an exterior perimcicr
drain is required for this structure and should be installed as specified in the above referenced s 4s
report. We recommend that damp -proofing be installed at the foundation walls for all below
grade, habitable living areas per 1991 UBC Section 2915. All other recommendations provided in
the original report, which are applicable, should be adhered to.
Thank you for consulting with us on this phase of the project. If you have any questions, please
feet free to call.
Sincerely,
SCOTT, COX & ASSOCIATES, INC.
