And
MOVED BUILDINGS
In order to understand the scope of the work intended under a permit application and expedite the
issuance of a permit it is important that complete information be provided. When reviewing a plan
and it's discovered that required information has not been provided by the applicant, this will result
in the delay of the permit issuance and in proceeding with building construction. The owner or
contractor shall be required to provide this information before the plan review can proceed. Other
plans that are in line for review may be given attention before the new information may be reviewed
after it has been provided to the Building Department
Please review this document to determine if you have enough information to design your
project and provide adequate information to facilitate a plan review. Also, please consider
using a design professional for assistance in your design and a construction professional for
construction of your project. Any project with more than ten (10) occupants requires the
plans to be sealed by a Colorado Registered Design Professional.
To provide for a more understandable plan in order to determine compliance with the building,
plumbing and mechanical codes, applicants are requested to review the following checklist prior to
and during design. Applicants are required to indicate appropriately and to submit the
completed checklist at time of application for a permit.
Plans to be included for a Building Permit, must be on drafting paper at least 18"x24" and
drawn to scale.
Plans must include a floor plan, a concrete footing and foundation plan, elevations all sides with
decks, balcony, steps, hand rails and guard rails, windows and doors, including the finish grade line
and original grade. A section showing in detail, from the bottom of the footing to the top of the roof,
including re-bar, anchor bolts, pressure treated plates, floor joists, wall studs and spacing, insulation,
sheeting, house-rap, (which is required), siding or any approved building material. Engineered
foundations p:~ay be required.
A window schedule. A door schedule. A floor framing plan, a roof framing plan, roof must be
·designed to withstand a 40 pound per square foot up to 7,000 feet in elevation, a 90 M.P.H. wind
speed, wind exposure B or C, and a 36 inch frost depth.

Subject: Subsoil Study for Foundation Design, Proposed Residence, Lot 13, Filing
6, Elk Springs Subdivision, 0773 Wood Nymph Lane, Garfield County,
Colorado
Dear Mr. Reyna:
As requested, Hepworth-Pawlak Geotechnical, Inc. performed a subsoil study for design
of foundations at the subject site. The study was conducted in accordance with our
agreement for geotechnical engineering services to Jordan Architecture dated January 22,
2007. The data obtained and our recommendations based on the proposed construction
and subsurface conditions encountered are presented in thisreport. Hepworth-Pawlak
Geotechnical, Inc., previously performed a preliminary geotechnical study for Filings 6
through 9, Elk Springs (formerly Los Amigos Ranch PUD) and reported our findings on
February 14, 1997, Job No. 196 617.
Proposed Construction: The proposed residence will be a one story wood frame
structure over a walkout basement located in the building envelope shown on Figure I.
The attached garage and basement floors will be slab-on-grade. Cut depths are expected
to range between about 3 to 8 feet. Foundation loadings for this type of construction are
assumed to be relatively light and typical of the proposed type of construction.
If building conditions or foundation loadings are significantly different from those
described above, we should be notified to re-evaluate the recommendations presented in
this report.
Parker 303-841-7119 • Colorado Springs 719-633-5562 • Silverthorne 970A68-1989
-2 -
Site Conditions: The site was vacant and covered with about 4 to 6 inches of snow at the
time of our field exploration. There is a relatively shallow drainage in the northeast end
of the building envelope. The ground surface is relatively flat with a gentle slope down to.
the west-southwest. Vegetation consists of sagebrush, grass and weeds.
Subsurface Conditions: The subsurface conditions at the site were evaluated by
excavating two exploratory pits at the approximate locations shown on Figure 1. The
logs of the pits are presented on Figure 2. The subsoils encountered, below about 1 Yz feet
of topsoil, consist of relatively dense, basalt gravel, cobbles and boulders in a sand and
clay matrix. The results of a gradation analysis performed on a sample of the silty sand
with gravel matrix (minus 3 inch fraction) obtained from the site are presented on· Figure
3. No free water was observed in the pits at the time of excavation and the soils were
slightly moist to moist.
Foundation Recommendations: Considering the subsoil conditions encountered in the
exploratory pits and the nature of the proposed construction, we recommend spread
footings placed on the undisturbed natural basalt rock soil designed for an allowable soil
bearing pressure of2,000 psffor support of the proposed residence. The matrix soils may
tend to compress after wetting and there could be some post-construction foundation
settlement. Footings should be a minimum width of 16 inches for continuous walls and 2
feet for columns. Utility trenches and deep cut areas may require rock excavating
techniques such as chipping or blasting. Loose and disturbed soils encountered at the
foundation bearing level within the excavation should be removed and the footing bearing
level extended down to the undisturbed natural basalt rock soils. Voids created from the
removal of large rocks should be backfilled with compacted sand and gravel, such as road
base, or with concrete. Exterior footings should be provided with adequate cover above
their bearing elevations for frost protection. Placement of footings at least 36 inches
below the exterior grade is typically used in this area. Continuous foundation walls
should be reinforced top and bottom to span local anomalies such as by assuming an
unsupported length of at least 12 feet. Foundation walls acting as retaining structures
should be designed to resist a lateral earth pressure based on an equivalent fluid unit
weight of at least 50 pcf for the on-site soil as backfill.
Job No.1 07 0043
- 3 -
Floor Slabs: The natural on-site soils, exclusive of topsoil, are suitable to support lightly
loaded slab-on-grade construction. The matrix soils may be compressible when wetted
which could result in some slab settlement and distress if the bearing soils become wet.
To reduce the effects of some differential movement, floor slabs should be separated from
all bearing walls and columns with expansion joints which allow unrestrained vertical
movement. Floor slab control joints should be used to reduce daruage due to shrinkage
cracking. The requirements for joint spacing and slab reinforcement should be
. established by the designer based on experience and the intended slab use. A minimum 4
inch layer of free-draining gravel should be placed beneath basement level slabs to
facilitate drainage. This material should consist of minus 2 inch aggregate with less than
50% passing the No. 4 sieve and less than 2% passing the No. 200 sieve.
All fill materials for support of floor slabs should be compacted to at least 95% of
maximum standard Proctor density at a moisture content near optimum. Required fill can
consist of the on-site soils devoid of vegetation, topsoil and oversized rock.
Underdrain System: Although free water was not encountered during our exploration, it
has been our experience in the area that local perched groundwater can develop during
times of heavy precipitation or seasonal runoff .. Frozen ground during spring runoff can
· create a perched condition. We recommend below-grade construction, such as retaining
walls, crawlspace and basement areas, be protected from wetting and hydrostatic pressure
buildup by an underdrain system.
The drains should consist of drainpipe placed in the bottom of the wall backfill
surrounded above the invert level with free-draining granular material. The drain should
be placed at each level of excavation and at least I foot below lowest adjacent finish
grade and sloped at a minimum I% to a suitable gravity outlet. Free-draining granular
material used in the underdrain system should contain less than 2% passing the No. 200
sieve, Jess than 50% passing the No.4 sieve and have a maximum size of2 inches. The
drain gravel backfill should be at least 1 Y, feet deep.
Job No.I 07 0043
-4-
Surface Drainage: The following drainage precautions should be observed during
construction and maintained at all times after the residence has been completed:
1) Inundation of the foundation excavations and underslab areas should be
avoided during construction.
2) Exterior backfill should be adjusted to near optimum moisture and
compacted to at least 95% of the maximum standard Proctor density in
pavement and slab areas and to at least 90% of the maximum standard
Proctor density in landscape areas. Free-draining wall backfill should be
capped with about 2 feet of the on-site, finer graded soils to reduce surface
water infiltration.
3) The ground surface surrounding the exterior of the building should be
sloped to drain away from the foundation in all directions. We
recommend a minimum slope of 12 inches in the first 10 feet in unpaved
areas and a minimum slope: of 3 inches in the first 1 0 feet in pavement and
walkway areas.
4) Roof downspouts and drains should discharge well beyond the limits of all
backfill.
Limitations: This study has been conducted in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering principles and practices in this area at this time. We make no
warranty either express or implied. The conclusions and recommendations submitted in
this report are based upon the data obtained from the exploratory pits excavated at the
locations indicated on Figure 1 and to the depths shown on Figure 2, the proposed type of
construction, and our experience in the area. Our services do not include determining the
presence, prevention or possibility of mold or other biological contaminants (MOBC)
developing in the future. If the client is concerned about MOBC, then a professional in
this special field of practice should be consulted. Our findings include interpolation and
extrapolation of the subsurface conditions identified at the exploratory pits and variations
in the subsurface conditions may not become evident until excavation is performed. If
conditions encountered during construction appear different from those described in this
report, we should be notified at once so re-evaluation of the recommendations may be
made.

This report has been prepared for the exclusive use by our client for design purposes. We
are not responsible for technical interpretations by others of our information. As the
project evolves, we should provide continued consultation and field services during
construction to review and monitor the implementation of our recommendations, and to
verifY that the recommendations have been appropriately interpreted. Significant design
changes may require additional analysis or modifications to the recommendations
presented herein. We recommend on-site observation of excavations and foundation
bearing strata and testing of structural fill by a representative of the geotechnical
engineer.
If you have any questions or if we may be of further assistance, please let us know.
Respectfully Submitted,

NOTES:
1. Exploratory pits were excavated on January 24, 2007 with a backhoe.
2. Locations of exploratory pits were measured approximately by pacing from features shown on 'the site plan
provided. ·
3. Elevations of exploratory pits were not measured and the logs of exploratory pits are drawn to depth.
4. The exploratory pit locations should be considered accurate only to the degree implied by the method used.
5. The lines between materials shown on the exploratory pit logs represent the approximate boundaries between
material types and transitions may be gradual.
6. No free water was encountered in the pits at the time of excavating. Fluctuation in water level may occur with time.
7. Laboratory Testing Results:
+4 = Percent retained on the No. 4 sieve
-200 = Percent passing No. 200 sieve
