RE: Perimeter Drain Consultation
Parcel D, a Resubdivision of Parcels C and D,
Streamside Duplexes,
4284 Columbine Drive, Vail
Eagle County, Colorado
Project No. 14-2955
Dear Michael,
Following is a summary of our review of the documents you sent and the soil’s report for
the site, our project number 05152, dated September 13, 2005 for the proposed duplexes at 4284
Columbine Drive, Parcel D, a Resubdivision of Parcels C and D, Streamside Duplexes, Vail,
Eagle County, Colorado. The purpose of our review was to determine, based on the available
information, if additional lateral pressures would be imposed on the foundation.
As shown on your drawings, the footing in question is the southernmost footing, that is
closest to the confluence of Bighorn Creek with Gore Creek. Between the footing and the creek
there is also a sewer line. The sewer line is about 8 feet away and four feet below the bottom of
footing elevation, and the creek is about 30 feet away. Also, on these maps, they show the limit
of the 100-year flood. The horizontal distance from the 100-year flood to the bottom of footing is
about 25 feet and at that particular area the 100-year flood line is at contour 8434, while the
bottom of footing is slightly above that elevation. In the three test borings, described in the
above-named soil’s report, ground water was not encountered.
Based on the above review, the footing in question is not subject to additional hydrostatic
lateral pressure.
Ground water conditions and flood elevation can change in the future. The above findings
and conclusions are valid for present conditions only. There is no other warranty either expressed
or implied.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
