The purpose of this letter is to address specific site conditions concerning landscaping and irrigation for the proposed transit center and to provide clarification and recommendations for the proposed development. Based on conversations with Tracy Hart of 4240 Architecture, we understand that two planter boxes will be constructed immediately adjacent to the proposed transit center. Irrigation will be included as part of the construction of the planter boxes. As irrigation systems installed next to foundation walls or brick paver plazas could cause consolidation of fill below and adjacent to these areas. To prevent consolidation of fill below and adjacent to foundations and brick pavers, we recommend that the planter boxes be designed as self - contained units. Self - contained planter boxes should not allow for the percolation of surface water into the soils below the planter boxes. In addition to planter boxes, we understand that native grasses will be incorporated into the landscaping adjacent to the walls of the proposed transit center. As part of our recommendations for irrigation in our aforementioned report, we recommend the installation of geotextile fabrics in landscaped areas to inhibit the growth of weeds and to allow normal moisture evaporation. Because we do not anticipate the use of mulch, gravel, or similar landscaping components as part of this project, we do not recommend the use of a geotextile fabric. In addition, we do not recommend that irrigation systems for the native grasses be installed within 10 feet of the proposed transit center. If we can be of further assistance in discussing the proposed development from a geotechnical view,ppint, please contact our office. KOECHLEIN CONSULTING ENGINEERS, INC. i Katie I.
