The soils to be penetrated by the proposed excavations may vary significantly across the site. The preliminary soil classifications are based solely on the materials encountered in widely spaced exploratory test borings. The contractor should verify that similar conditions exist throughout the proposed area of excavation. If different subsurface conditions are encountered at the time of construction, the actual conditions should be evaluated to determine any excavation modifications necessary to maintain safe conditions. As a safety measure, it is recommended that all vehicles and soil piles be kept to a minimum lateral distance from the crest of the slope equal to no less than the slope height. The exposed slope face should be protected against the elements. Drainage Surface Drainage: 1. Positive drainage should be provided during construction and maintained throughout the life of the proposed addition. Infiltration of water into utility or foundation excavations must be prevented during construction. Planters and other surface features which could retain water in areas adjacent to the building or pavements ou be Seale o eliminated. 2. In areas where sidewalks or paving do not immediately adjoin the structure, we recommend that protective slopes be provided with a minimum grade of _ approximately 10 percent for at least 10 feet from perimeter walls. Backfill against footings, exterior walls and in utility and sprinkler line trenches should be well compacted and free of all construction debris to reduce the possibility of moisture infiltration. 3. Downspouts, roof drains or scuppers should discharge into splash blocks or extensions when the ground surface beneath such features is not protected by exterior slabs or paving. 4. Serinkler systems should not be installed within 5 feet of foundation walls. Landscaped irrigation adjacent to the foundation system should be minimized or elim' 14 • MICHAEL BRAY ARCHITECTS .IKE L ARCHITECTURE • PLANNING ■ DESIGN September 22, 1997 Michael Ludwig Community Planning and Environmental Services 281 North College Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80522-0580 RE: King Soopers Store #9 Expansion Cedarwood Plaza Dear Michael, Attached please find our submittal of the revised site plan, exterior elevation, utility plan and drainage plan. Please also find all of your original redlined copies as requested. As stated before, we can+ofplant and irrigate along the building foundations as this is not recommended by the soils engineer. A copy is attached for your reference. We have, however, provided a similar concept but away from the building. We believe this satisfies your requirements, gives the new plantings a better chance for survival and allows for the shopping center customers to have full protection under the existing canopy. We believe this plan addresses your last concern. We also understand that we will be placed on the agenda for the November 6, 1997 Planning and Zoning nubLakaring.
