Rc: As -Built Grading Observutions for Lot 23, Block 10, Fossil Lake Ranch, 1" Filing,.(PSg Rooke;y4p
FortCollins, Colorado, SCAProject No. 3737-41-01.08
Gentlemen:
We have observed the as -built grading for the above mentioned location. During our on -site observations. our representative
measured the as -built elevations at the lot sidm, comas, window wolla, top of foundation, areas adjacent to the residence and
the drainage swale . Based on our observations, and the information available to this office, the majority of the slopes and
elevations are in general conformancewith the "Grading andErosion Control Plan"byNorthern Engineering Services, Project
Number 9812.00FLF, dated April 20, 1999.
However, ourrepresentative noted two (2) areas which either had less dean one percent (<1 %) slope or exhibited nuisance
ponding, plcuc rcfor to SCA As -Built Grading Elevations.
AREA # 1: The first area is located in the vicinity of the northwest portion of the back yard and a portion of the north
property lime. This area has less than one percent slope and may exhibit nuisance ponding during periods
of significant precipitation. The lack of slope, in this area, is mitigated by the larger lot size and available
area for the runoff flow to infiltrate into the soils.
AREA 42: The second area is located along the south property line, on line with the southeast garage. This area
exhibited indications ofnuisancepondingand has existing fencing and landscaping which makes regrading
this area very problematic. This area is also mitigated by the large lot size and is adjacent to open space.
In our opinion, these areas will probably exhibit nuisance ponding and could be landscaped with this in mind, however, we
recommend the areas be rc-graded to a slope of at least one and one-half percent (I Y: %).
It is our opinion that the subject lot, as graded on the above date, should not interfere with offsite flows unless the grades are
changed or barriers are created such as fences, garden terracing, sidewalks, and/or any landscaping which may change the
established flowpattemsbydiverting orsiowingnmoffflow. Backfill adjacent to theresidencemay settle overtime and allow
ponding to occur around the foundation walls. The backfill adjacent to the residence must be monitored and maintained to
ensure that runoff will flow away from the foundation. The grades measured were compared only to the requirements shown
on the above referenced grading plan. Other minimum grading requirements which maybe specified in the soils report or by
other construction documents are beyond the scope of this report.
Thank you for consulting with us on this phase of the project. If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
