<br />330 Land Company, LLC 9785.004.001 <br />Arroyo Lago October 31, 2025 <br />RESPONSE TO CITY REVIEW COMMENTS Page 5 <br /> <br />BSK Comment 13 – Geotechnical Report, Section 5.3, Differential Fill Slope Mitigation <br /> <br />ENGEO should reference Figure 2C to clarify where this condition exists. <br /> <br />ENGEO Response to Comment 13 <br /> <br />Figure 2C is now referenced in this section. <br /> <br />BSK Comment 14 – Geotechnical Report, Section 5.3.1, Option 1: Subexcavation and <br />Recompaction <br /> <br />ENGEO should state how much differential settlement is estimated to remain after this <br />overexcavation. <br /> <br />ENGEO Response to Comment 14 <br /> <br />Following subexcavation and recompaction, we estimate differential fill settlement to be less than <br />½ inch over a span of 50 feet. The geotechnical report has been revised to include a discussion <br />on differential settlement. <br /> <br />BSK Comment 15 – Geotechnical Report, Section 5.4.1, On-Site Existing Fill <br /> <br />Because particles up to 8 inches in diameter are allowed for on -site existing fill, consideration <br />should be given to providing recommendations for avoiding nesting (i.e., grouping together) of <br />large particles together during fill placement to avoid potential erosion-driven settlement. Also, <br />consideration should be given to limiting the use of larger particles up to 8 inches above the <br />planned depth of underground utilities to reduce the risk that conventional earthwork equipment <br />may not be able to dig through such material. <br /> <br />ENGEO Response to Comment 15 <br /> <br />We have revised the geotechnical report and included a recommendation to place on-site existing <br />material in a manner that prevents nesting of larger particles. <br /> <br />BSK Comment 16 – Geotechnical Report, Section 6.1, Post-Tensioned Mat Foundations <br /> <br />The comment regarding seismically induced settlement should be removed because ENGEO <br />concluded that the potential for seismically induced settlement is low. Perhaps this should be <br />revised to reference the potential for post-construction ground surface movement due to near <br />surface expansive soils and the potential for future total and differential settlement due the <br />presence of significant thicknesses of undocumented fill and compressible soil. <br /> <br />ENGEO Response to Comment 16 <br /> <br />No exceptions taken. References to seismically induced settlement in this section have been <br />removed. <br /> <br />
