Administrative Reports: City Manager Linares reported on the tax reform meeting and
thanked citizens for participation. He noted Park City mayor Andy Beerman also attended and
spoke on behalf of resort communities.
Citizens To Be Heard:
John McQueen spoke regarding fire danger posed by weeds and cheatgrass. He suggested there
may be a better way to mitigate weed hazards than basing enforcement on neighbor complaints
through a lengthy process. He offered that the City could take action and bill the offending
landowner.
Sara Melnicoff stated she is very concerned about recycling. She noted the definitions had
changed in the proposed ordinance. She mentioned the greenhouse gases related to transporting
recycling to Denver and said she was confused by what changes were being voted on by Council
and related ramifications. She stated the Recycling Center has been in operation since 1991.
Barbara Hicks encouraged Council to vote yes on the Overnight Accommodations changes. She
said the County has paved the road and noted she felt relieved with the ordinance the County
passed. She encouraged Council to be bold and courageous as well.
Robert Hines spoke about private property rights and stated he felt pigeonholed. He said the
County Planning Commission told him he was not allowed to build long-term rentals and that
he was told he could build nightly rentals. He urged Council to not do what the County did and
added bad business decisions couldn’t be legislated. He said affordable housing is a myth and
explained it is too expensive to build apartments in the local economy.
Kevin Walker encouraged Council to vote yes on the Overnight Accommodations ordinance. He
said the public comment was overwhelming that growth is happening too fast in Moab. He
stated his interest in making Moab more livable for all of us and he urged Council to vote yes.

beacon to be funded and installed by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), a future

Councilmember Duncan stated he felt the two-minute limit was excessive and overly
authoritative. Councilmember Knuteson-Boyd mentioned the difficulty of enforcement. Dr.
Russo explained it was common to issue warnings rather than citations and that an educational
effort was indicated. It was noted that ground-level ozone is a hazard. Signs at both ends of town
discouraging idling were discussed. Councilmember Guzman-Newton brought up the
prominence of idling issues in Salt Lake City. Councilmember Derasary stated her support for
the ordinance and noted both Logan and Salt Lake City had passed idling ordinances. She
indicated that asthma is exacerbated by idling vehicles. Councilmember Jones agreed with
Councilmember Duncan that a two-minute limit seems excessive and recommended lowering
the limit to twenty minutes to account for semi-truck problems. Councilmember Guzman-
Page 4 of 4 – July 23, 2019
Newton brought up the three million visitors, many of whom visit from idle-free communities.
Motion and Vote: Councilmember Guzman-Newton moved to approve Ordinance 2019-17,

parking, idling or camping, 8B and 8C. Councilmember Derasary seconded the motion. The

Title: A RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE ACCELARATED GOAL OF 100% RENEWABLE ELECTRICITY BY 2030
Disposition: Discussion and adoption
Staff Presenter: Rosemarie Russo
Attachment(s): - Attachment 1: Proposed Resolution XX-2019
Recommended Motion: I move to adopt Resolution XX- 2019 adopting the accelerated 100% renewable electricity goal by 2030.
Background/Summary: The City has been collaborating with Rocky Mountain Power, Park City and Salt Lake City regarding a pathway to achieve a “net-100% renewable electricity supply for the entire community. Our recent participation in the Solar Energy Innovation Network over 18 months has centered on modeling cost effective strategies based on valuable feedback from leading scientists, engineers and sustainability directors and working with state representatives to pass enabling legislation. In March 2019, the Utah Legislature passed the Community Renewable Energy Act, Utah Code ⸹⸹54-17-901 to -909 (the “Act”), and Governor Herbert has signed this legislation into law. The Act enables a future filing at the Utah Public Service Commission (the commission) that establishes rules and rates for a community renewable energy program. The Act also requires that communities desiring to participate adopt a resolution prior to December 31, 2019 that establishes a goal of being powered by net-100% renewable electricity on an annual basis by 2030. This requirement was put in place to ensure that communities desiring to transition to a net-100% renewable electricity portfolio all have a similar goal
so that a single portfolio can be created and administered for all participants in Utah. Rocky Mountain Power would be the facilitator of the program for participating communities in their service territory. Some key category areas within the legislation are listed below: • Program participation requirements for a municipality or county • Authority and requirements of the Utah Public Service Commission • Isolation of financial impacts to participating communities and customers • Customer participation and minimum noticing requirements, including customer opt-out ability • Customer billing and rate considerations • Competitive solicitation expectations for procurement of renewable energy resources; and a passage of a second resolution to agree to proposed rates.

Moab City Council Agenda Item Meeting Date: July 23, 2019
Title: Update City of Moab’s Municipal Code, Chapter 8.04 - Solid Waste
Disposition: Discussion and adoption
Staff Presenter: Rosemarie Russo
Attachment(s): - Attachment 1: MCC Chapter 8.04- Solid Waste
Recommended Motion(s):
For Option 1: I move to approve the MCC Chapter 8.04- Solid Waste code revisions that reflect the opt-out option for residential recycling service that was approved by Resolution 07-2019 and revised definitions for organic material, recyclable commodities and construction debris.
“Construction debris” includes asphalt, wood, porcelain, and concrete used in remodels or new buildings. “Contractor” means the person authorized by contract with the city to collect and dispose of solid waste and recycling generated within the city limits. “Organic waste” means food scraps, organic waste and yard debris that can be used to amend soils as compost to absorb storm water, resist droughts and add nutrients to lawns and gardens. “Recyclable” refers to material that can be reused and repurposed including cardboard, glass, paper, plastic or wood.
8.04.020 Mandatory collection. As defined in this chapter, every residence or commercial establishment shall be required to receive and pay for solid waste
collection services including residential recycling with an opt out provision from the city effective June 1, 2019.
For Option 2: I move to approve the following code revisions:
8.04.020 Mandatory collection. New construction and remodels over 5,000 square feet will be required to recycle 50% of asphalt, concrete, cardboard, metal and wood from construction sites.
Background/Summary: The City Council received a briefing and approved Resolution 07-2019 establishing a mandatory residential recycling program with an opt-out option on February 12, 2019. Option 1 reflects the Code revisions previously approved. Additionally, the definitions for waste have been changed to reclassify the terms food scraps, cardboard, yard waste, glass, plastic, paper and wood from solid waste into new categories of construction debris, recyclable and compostable material. Additional code revisions were discussed during the City Council meetings in November and February 2018 and July 2019, including:
• Recycling for commercial accounts
• Construction debris recycling for projects above 5,000 sq. feet
• Cardboard recycling for commercial or all accounts Option 2 This option addresses a provision for mandatory construction recycling of 50% of asphalt, wood, porcelain, and concrete used in remodels or new buildings over 5,000 sq. feet. The Special Waste Service District is interested in establishing a re-use site for building material so this would align with their plans. Le Grand, Monument Waste and the CRC accept this type of material. This material could be sold to residents to lower their building and remodeling costs. The provision includes an effective date of 1/1/2020 to allow for infrastructure set-up.
Recycling Progress & Challenges
The new collection contract has been very successful in terms of high volume and low contamination rates among residents. Public sites are improving. Initial changes included posting “No Bags” and “Recycling” symbol decals on the front of containers. The City plans to post signs as a reminder about illegal dumping of special waste (i.e., septage) in the recycling containers due to a continuous problem at Swanny Park. See language below: 8.04.090 Dumping prohibited. No person shall knowing dump, leave, deposit, or release solid waste or special waste upon any real property within the city, except in conformity with local zoning requirements and applicable state and federal regulations. (Ord. 04-06 (part), 2004). A fine of $250 will be assessed for illegal dumping in accordance with procedures outlined in 8.04.065.

8.04.020 Mandatory collection.
Solid waste shall only be collected within the city limits by the approved contractor pursuant
to the terms of a solid waste collection franchise agreement with the city. As defined in this
chapter, every residence or commercial establishment shall be required to receive and pay
for solid waste collection services including residential recycling with an opt out provision
from the city.
Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit a person from hauling residential or
commercial solid waste or special waste generated from a location owned by that person to
an authorized disposal facility, provided that the owner shall at all times remain liable for
solid waste collection service charges assessed by the city pursuant to this chapter. (Ord.
04-06 (part), 2004)
New construction and remodels over 5,000 square feet will be required to recycle 50% of
asphalt, concrete, cardboard, metal and wood from construction sites, effective January 1,

Rates for solid waste collection shall be established and modified from time to time by the
City Council. Every solid waste customer within city limits, whether residential or
commercial, receiving culinary water or sewer service from the city, shall be billed for solid
waste service (i.e., trash and recycling) together with water or sewer service charges. As
provided for water and sewer service charges, the owner of every property required to
receive solid waste collection services shall be required to execute an application agreeing
to be liable for all charges for service. In the event that a property owner fails or refuses to
pay for solid waste service, the city shall be authorized to discontinue providing solid waste

Recommended Motion:
I move to adopt Ordinance 2019-03 Amending the Moab Municipal Code to add
Chapters 17.09.060.060 and 17.09.465 establishing outdoor lighting and sign
illumination standards
Background/Summary:

17.09.465 Of The Moab Municipal Code Establishing Outdoor Lighting And Sign
Illumination Standards. The resolution is Attachment A. The Draft Ordinance is
Attachment B.
Grand County adopted a similar ordinance meaning that the region will have similar
regulations. When the County adopted the ordinance, they eliminated paragraph C
(government audits of all outdoor lighting) of 17.09.069 Outdoor Lighting - Amortization
of Nonconforming Outdoor Lighting. The section was eliminated at the request of the
County Attorney. In the attached draft, that section has been highlighted.
The County also simplified the language for paragraphs A and B of 17.09.069 as
follows:
“6.6.10 Amortization of Nonconforming Outdoor Lighting
A. The County shall require the termination of use of any and all
nonconforming outdoor lighting fixtures, structures, lamps, bulbs or other devices
that emit or generate light which are not otherwise exempted by this section,
pursuant to the amortization schedule contained in subsection B of this section.
B. All outdoor lighting legally existing and installed prior to the effective date of
this section, and which is not otherwise exempted, shall be considered
nonconforming and shall be brought into compliance by the property owner as
follows:
1. Immediately as a condition for approval upon application for a building
permit, sign permit, conditional use permit, new (nonrenewal) business
license, site plan review or similar County permit or review.
2. Immediately in the case of damaged or inoperative nonconforming
lighting upon replacement or repair.
3. Within five years from the effective date of this section for all other
outdoor lighting.”
The draft attached is what was recommended by the Planning Commission, with some
additional language added by the City Attorney, Chris McAnany, to ensure consistency
throughout the Code.
Items for Discussion:
The City Staff is asking for direction on 17.09.069.

17.09.062 Outdoor Lighting - Definitions
A. For the purpose of this section Sections 060 through 069 and Section 465 of this Chapter, certain
words, phrases and terms shall have the meaning assigned to them by this section.the following
definitions apply:
“Accent or Architectural Lighting” means lighting of building surfaces, landscape features, statues, and
similar items for the purpose of decoration, ornamentation, creation of visual hierarchy, sense of
liveliness, or other purpose unrelated to safety, business operation, or essential lighting function.
“Backlight” means all the light emanating behind a luminaire.
“B.U.G. Rating” means backlight, up-light, and glare rating, which exists on a scale of zero to five (0 to
5) and describes the light output of a luminaire.

“Correlated Color Temperature” (CCT) is a specification of the color appearance of the light emitted by
a lamp, relating its color to the color of light from a reference source when heated to a particular
temperature, measured in degrees Kelvin (K). The CCT rating for a lamp is a general "warmth" or
"coolness" measure of its appearance. Lamps with a CCT rating below 3,000 K are usually considered
"warm" sources, while those with a CCT above 3,000 K are usually considered "cool" in appearance.
“Direct Illumination” means illumination resulting from light emitted directly from a bulb, luminary, or
reflector. This does not include light reflected from other surfaces such as the ground or building faces.
“Floodlight” means a fixture or bulb designed to "flood" an area with light. A specific form of bulb or
fixture designed to direct its output in a specific direction. Such bulbs are often designated by the
manufacturer and are commonly used in residential outdoor lighting.
“Fully Shielded Fixture” means an outdoor light fixture constructed and mounted so that the installed
fixture emits no light above the horizontal plane. Where a light manufacturer provides a BUG rating, the
uplight rating (U) must equal zero (0). Fully shielded light fixtures must be shielded in and of
themselves. Surrounding structures, like canopies, are not to be considered when determining if the
fixture is fully shielded. Fully shielded fixtures must be appropriately mounted so that the shielding
prevents light from escaping above the horizontal and all light is directed downward.
Examples of fully shielded light fixtures.
“Glare” means the visual sensation caused by excessive brightness and which causes annoyance,
discomfort, or a disability loss in visual performance or visibility.
“Internally Illuminated” as it relates to signs, means any sign which has a light source entirely enclosed
within the sign and not directly visible to the eye.
“Light Pollution” means any adverse effect of manmade light. Often used to denote "sk y glow" from
developed areas, but also includes glare, light trespass, visual clutter and other adverse effects of
lighting.
“Light Source” means the part of a lighting fixture that produces light, e.g. the bulb, lamp, or chips on
board.
“Light Trespass” means any light that falls beyond the legal boundaries of the property it is intended to
illuminate.
4
“Lumen” means a unit of luminous flux equal to the light emitted by a uniform point source of one
candle intensity. Lumens refers to the amount of light emitted by a bulb (more lumens equates to
brighter light).
Common Relationships between bulb types, wattages and lumen levels
Brightness
in Lumens 220+ 400+ 700+ 900+ 1300+
Standard 25W 40W 60W 75W 100W
Halogen 18W 28W 42W 53W 70W
CFL 6W 9W 12W 15W 20W
LED 4W 6W 10W 13W 18W
“Manufacturer's Catalog Cuts” means a publication or other printed material of a bulb or lighting
manufacturer offering visual and technical information about a lighting fixture or bulb.
“Net Acre” means a gross acre excluding: public rights-of-way, lands with natural slopes greater than 30
percent, jurisdictional wetlands, lands in the 100 year floodplain, public drinking water supply water
sources (recharge areas for the aquifer in the Glen Canyon Formation), lands affected by immitigable
geo-hazards, riparian habitats, archeological sites, and required open space.
“Outdoor Light Fixture” means a complete lighting unit consisting of a lamp(s) and ballast(s) (when
applicable), together with the parts designed to distribute the light, to position and protect the lamps, and
to connect the lamps to the power supply. Also known as a luminaire, or simply as a fixture.
“Partially Shielded Light Fixture” means an outdoor light fixture constructed and mounted so that the
installed fixture emits most of its light above the horizontal plane. Where a light manufacturer provides
a BUG rating, the uplight (U) and backlight (B) ratings are greater than zero (0). Light emitted at or
above the horizontal plane (sideways or upwards) shall arise solely from incidental decorative elements
or strongly colored or diffusing materials such as colored glass or plastic. Fixtures using spot or flood
lamps are considered partially shielded if the lamps are aimed no higher than 45 degrees abo ve the
vertical plane beneath the fixture.
Examples of partially shielded lighting fixtures
“Recreational Lighting” means lighting used to illuminate sports fields, ball courts, playgrounds, or
similar outdoor recreational facilities.
5
“Skyglow” means the brightening of the nighttime sky resulting from the scattering and reflection of
artificial light by moisture and dust particles in the atmosphere. Skyglow is caused by light directed or
reflected upwards or sideways and reduces one’s ability to view the nighttime sky.
“Spotlight” means a fixture or bulb designed to light a small area very brightly. See definition of
Floodlight.
"Total" means the sum of shielded and unshielded light.
"Total outdoor light output" means the total amount of light measured in lumens from all bulbs installed
in outdoor lighting fixtures. For bulb types that vary in light output as they age (such as fluorescent and
high intensity discharge (HID) bulbs), the initial lumen output as defined by the manufacturer shall be
the lumen value used.
“Tower” means any monopole, antenna, or the like that exceeds eighteen feet (18') in height.
“Unshielded Fixture” means a fixture that has no shielding at all that would otherwise specifically
prevent light emission above the horizontal.
Examples of unshielded light fixtures.
“Uplight” means all the light emanating above the horizontal plane of a luminaire.
17.09.063 Outdoor Lighting - Fully Shielded Fixture Requirements
A. Unless specifically exempted by this section, all outdoor lighting shall use fully shielded fixtures

the fixture. Where a light manufacturer provides a BUG rating, the uplight rating (U) must equal zero
(0).
B. In order to qualify as a "fully shielded" fixture, a light fixture must have the top and sides made
of completely opaque material such that light only escapes through the bottom of the fixture. Fixtures
with translucent or transparent sides, or sides with perforations or slits, do not qualify as fully shielded.
Any glass or diffuser on the bottom of the fixture must be flush with the fixture (no drop lenses). Merely
placing a light fixture under an eave, canopy, patio cover, or other similar cover does not qualify as fully
shielded.
6

upwards.
b. The fixture has sides that completely cover the light source and are made of
opaque or semi-opaque material. Fixtures with opaque sides may have incidental
decorative perforations that emit small amounts of light. Semi-opaque material
such as dark tinted glass or translucent plastic may be used if the light source is
not discernable behind the material. Completely transparent materials, such as
clear or lightly tinted colored glass, are not allowed.
c. The light source must not be visible from any point outside the property on which
the fixture is located.
3. Spotlights controlled by motion sensors having a light output less than one thousand
(1,000) lumens per lamp are exempted from the fully shielded requirement provided:

On May 10, 2019, the City was notified that the applicant had decided not to pursue
the site plan application at this time and submitted a revised subdivision plat for review.
On July 25, 2019, the Planning Commission forwarded a positive recommendation to
the Council as follows:
Motion by Jeanette Kopell to forward a positive recommendation to City Council for
the Moab Tramway Minor Subdivision subject to conditions 1 and 2:
1. All engineering comments shall be addressed to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer prior to review by City Council.
2. Site Plan Review and approval is required prior to site development for
either newly created lot.
Second by Marianne Becnel
Motion passed unanimously
Project Summary:
This subdivision plat splits 1 parcel into 2. The intent of the property owner is to sell off
the portion of the property that contains the tram. The potential buyers plan to move
forward with their site plan application once the property is divided. At the time of Site
Plan review and development, the new owners will have to address a number of utility
and engineering that will be necessary to improve the site.
Both parcels will have adequate frontage on Hwy 191. There is a shared parking and
access easement across Lot 1 that allows the historic access to be used and provides
for shared parking between the 2 parcels in the future.
Process:
MMC Section 16.08.020 allows for exceptions to the final plat hearing process for minor
subdivisions of five lots or less. These applications must be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and referred to Council with a recommendation, as noted below.
“MMC Section 16.08.020, Exceptions--Final plat, discusses the process and
required documents
In subdivisions of less than five lots, land may be sold after recording of a plat, if all
the following conditions are met:
A. The subdivision plan shall have been approved by the planning commission,
the planning coordinator, the city engineer, the city attorney, other agencies
the zoning administrator deems necessary, and the city council;
B. The subdivision is not traversed by lines of a proposed street, and does
not require the dedication of any land for street or other purposes;
C. Each lot within the subdivision meets the frontage width and area
requirements of the zoning title or has been granted a variance from such
requirements by the appeal authority;
D. All final plat requirements shall be complied with;
E. All provisions of Chapter 16.20 of this title shall be complied with; and
F. The water supply and sewage disposal shall have been approved by the
utility supervisor.

Re. Moab Tram Development —Amended Site Flan Application, Request for Approval
of an Amended Pre -Annexation Agreement, and Subdivision Application
Dear Sommar,
Attached, on behalf of my clients, Salt Lake Accomdation No. 338, LLC, aka Salt Lake
Exchange Accommodations No. 338, L.L.C. (the "Owner") and Michael Duehrssen, President of
the Tramway to Moab, Inc. (the "Agent"), please find an Amended Site Plan Application,
Request for Approval of the First Amendment to the Pre -Annexation Agreement dated
December 19, 2006, and 2-Lot Subdivision Application. We further request placement on the
March 14 Planning Commission agenda for its consideration and recommendation. Owner and
Agent are collectively referred to herein as the Applicants.
As you know, I have worked on this project for several years. Thus, please note that my
involvement is individual, on behalf of the Sloan law Firm and my Clients, as are all statements I
make herein.
Agent is under contract to buy Lot 2, Tram Subdivision, contingent on the City approving
this redevelopment of the Tramway. Agent desires to revitalize the Moab Tram in a manner
similar to the original approvals but in an updated form that harmonizes with Moab's unique and
dramatic landscape. Agent has worked hard to create a project that will improve the corridor
into Moab from the North and provide visual connectivity to the 360-degree stunning views to
passersby.
The Tramway redevelopment plan will create a welcome visual improvement for both
locals and visitors. Specifically, the Lower Terminal Building would be remodeled and expanded
to include a gift shop, tourist information center (with ticket counter), bike rental shop, and patio
that connects to the Moab Pathway. The Moab Tram would run to the existing Upper Terminal
Building, which would be remodeled to accommodate a cafe and snack shop (no open flames) in
the current footprint below the terminal.
Development Application
Moab Tram
Page 2 of 3
The Applicants wish to improve the Moab Tram in a manner which causes minimal
impact to the hillside and scenic views. To this end, Applicants are willing to terminate their
right to build the 3,600 square foot "Mountain House" on the southern end of the Upper Site in
exchange for transferring that square footage to the Lower Terminal Building.
As a final note, the First Amendment to the Pre -Annexation Agreement is drafted for
Agent's signature alone as we request the City require its recording prior to its issuance of
building permits but after the closing on the Property by Agent. Applicants agree to stipulate as a
Site Plan Condition that in the event the First Amendment to the Pre -Annexation Agreement is
not recorded in the real property records of Grand County, Utah for any reason, the Amended
Site Plan shall be void and of no further force or effect.
In support of these requests, the following documentation is attached hereto:
1. Amended Site Plan Application Form (original);
2. 2-Lot Subdivision Application Form (original);
3. $525 in Application Fees ($375 amended site plan + $250 subdivision - $100 paid
upon pre -conference meeting);
4. Proposed First Amendment to the Pre -Annexation Agreement;
5, Architectural drawings, including floor plans and elevations prepared by Retail
Design Collaborative;
b. Site and Civil Plan Drawings, including Grading, Drainage, and Utility Plans
prepared by SET Engineering;
7. Lighting Plan prepared by GPW & Associates;
S. Landscaping and Irrigation Plans prepared by Bijan Landscape Design ± Build;
9. Preliminary Drainage Study prepared by SET Engineering;
10. Geotechnical Engineering Study prepared by Trautner Geotech LLC;

according to the official plat thereof recorded in the real property records of Grand County,
Utah (the “Tramway” or the “Property”);
B. Historically, development of the Tramway by Owner’s predecessor, Grandview Land LLC
and William Jewett (“Grandview) was governed by the Pre-Annexation Agreement

serve the Property. At such time as the City extends its North Trunkline within two hundred (200)
feet of the Property, Owner shall connect all development on the Property to the City sewer system

provided that Owner may elect to pay said fees over twenty (20) years at an interest rate of 4.5%
per year as arranged through the City Treasurer.

generated by the Tramway, all future development approved on the Site Plan shown in Exhibit A,
and any future development defined by a site plan approved by the Moab City Planning
Commission.

with the construction, engineering, testing, and permitting of said temporary vault system.
3. Section Two is hereby amended and modified to read in its entirety as follows:

Plan are both contractual and deemed vested rights under Utah common law.
3.2 Future development, uses, signs, and structures not included or approved in the Site Plan
shall proceed under applicable City codes in effect at the time of request for approval of the same.
3.3 In the event the Moab Tramway is not operated within three (3) years of the Effective Date,

towers, cables and passenger carries within two (2) years of written request by the City.
3.4 Prior to the City issuing building permits for the structures contemplated in the Site Plan,

approval of the City Manager.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Moab Tramway project is located at 1750 N. Main St., City of Moab, State of Utah Parcel ID No. 0-
0126-0012. The scope of this project involves revitalizing the Moab Tramway facility along with
constructing a 7,500 sf building addition and associated site and infrastructure improvements. The
building addition will be used for retail. The proposed development will include improvements on both
Lot 1 and Lot 2 of the Tram Subdivision. Lot 1 is approximately 10.48 acres and will remain undeveloped
except for some shared parking improvements. The Moab Tramway project includes improvements to
Lot 2 which is 14.59 acres. There are proposed grading and access improvement on the County owned
property to the north. There are no planned improvements to the upper tram facility as part of this
project, other than what is required by the building department for general operations. See the
attached Site Plan for additional detail on the scope of Moab Tramway project improvements.
Drainage and grading improvements are required to provide a functional site. This includes over-lot
grading, storm drain collection system improvements, and the installation of detention and water
quality facilities. The site hydrology and required detention volume was analyzed using the NRCS TR-55
method. Hydraulics were analyzed using industry standard methods.
Under developed conditions runoff from the site will increase due to the development. Runoff will be
detained on site to meet City requirements. See the attached Overall Drainage Plan for additional detail
on the drainage improvements and location of the detention and Water Quality facilities.
BACKGROUND
The City of Moab requires a drainage analysis be completed to demonstrate grading and drainage
improvements for this project will be completed per City of Moab Code requirements.
The intent of this report is to analyze the proposed development against historic conditions and to
provide mitigation for the impacts of the project to the stormwater runoff process accordingly.
The project is located at the north end of the City of Moab and bound by State Hwy 191 to the west,
Lions Park to the north, undeveloped areas to the south, and federal lands to the east.
Existing Conditions
The Moab Tramway project site was previously developed but is not in operation. The site
includes the base tram building along with site and parking improvements. The parking area
includes curb and gutter but was not paved and remains a gravel surface. Based on Google
Earth imagery, prior to the Tram project, the site was native undeveloped land.
Proposed Conditions
Moab Tramway – Preliminary Drainage Report
4 |Page
The project site includes improvements of approximately 1.5 acres of land. The project will
include the following improvements. See the attached project construction drawings for
additional detail.
•7,500 sf building addition (see arch. plans)
•Improvements to the existing Moab Tram building (see arch plans)
•Installation of utility services
•Installation of parking facilities and site amenities
•Landscaping and Lighting improvements
•Drainage facilities to convey and control Stormwater runoff
OFFSITE FLOWS
The site is located at the bottom of a relatively steep ridge. Unconcentrated runoff from the ridge
above the site is generally directed towards the project. No major drainageways which create areas of
focused runoff were evident, however unconcentrated run-on from the hillside to the east can be
expected.
ONSITE FLOWS
For the purpose of this study, The portion of the project site which will be developed was divided into 3
drainage basins:
Basin 1 generally includes the improvements within the northern portion of Lot 2 and is 0.50 acres in
size. Basin 2 includes the proposed improvements within the southern portion of Lot 2 and is 0.86 acres
in size. Basin 3 includes the developed portion of Lot 2 and is 0.36 acres in size.
Because Lot 1 and Lot 2 will have different owners, the grading design has been developed to separate
the runoff into separate points of discharge. For all three basins, Runoff will follow historic patterns
which generally flows east to west towards HWY 191.
Runoff from each basin will be conveyed to decentralized Detention and Water Quality facilities. Facility
1 is located at the NW corner of the project which will collect runoff from the building and adjacent site.
Facility 2 is located between UDOT Right of Way and the main parking area. Facility 3 is located west of
the parking area on Lot 1. Facility 3 is temporary in nature and may require removal and/or
replacement when Lot 1 is developed.
The following table displays calculated runoff for existing and historic conditions using the NRCS TR-55
method. TR-55 Input and Output reports can be found in the Appendix.

ONSITE DETENTION
The NRCS TR-55 method was used to determine the required capacity of the detention facilities.
Detention volume calculations are shown below. Much of the runoff from the site will infiltrate into
the detention pond for minor events. Assumed infiltration rates for the Type A soil are between 2
and 6 minutes per inch which would allow the full pond volumes to drain through infiltration in just
over 6 hours Runoff which does not infiltrate during the larger events will be discharged through
the overflow structure which is either a grated in inlet for Facilities 1 and 2, and a rip rap weir for
Facility 3. Infiltration calculations are attached in the appendix.
Moab Tramway – Preliminary Drainage Report
6 |Page
STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
The proposed storm drain system for the project was developed to increase connected impervious
areas by conveying runoff overland rather than through inlets and pipes. The grading plan and
concept was developed to convey run-on from the hillside above around the building.
The north side of the building and site area will be conveyed to Facility 1. An inlet is proposed along
the east side of the walk to capture runoff prior to it crossing the sidewalk. This inlet will also
capture run-on from the hillside above and runoff from the north side of the building and patio
areas. Facility 1 includes a proposed 24” dia. inlet and 12” HDPE pipe which connects to the existing
storm drain system in HWY 191 at historic rates. This inlet will convey runoff not contained in Facility
1 to the storm drain system.
Runoff from the south side of the south side of the building, adjacent patio areas, and major parking
area will generally be directed towards Facility 2 through the curb and gutter system. Three curb
cuts are proposed along the west side of the parking area to distribute runoff to Facility 2. Facility 2
includes a proposed 24” dia. inlet and 12” HDPE pipe which connects to the existing catch basin. This
inlet will convey runoff not contained in Facility 2 to the storm drain system at historic rates. In
addition, an overflow weir is proposed in the case that the inlet is clogged. The overflow will direct
runoff to an existing catch basin on the east side of the bike path.

Runoff from the Lot 1 improvements will be directed to Facility 3. This facility is temporary in nature
and may require removal and replacement when Lot 1 develops. Unconcentrated Runoff is
conveyed to this facility through overland flow. A rip rap overflow weir is proposed to convey runoff
beyond the 100 yr event at historic rates.
EROSION CONTROL
The contractor shall obtain a permit for construction phase Stormwater management as required by
the City of Moab and/or State of Utah.
METHODOLOGY
In order to be consistent with the City of Moab drainage policies, the NRCS Technical Release No. 55
or Technical Release No. 20 was used for determining the quantity of storm runoff for the project.
Manning’s Equation was used to analyze culvert and ditch hydraulics in accordance with standard
engineering principles.
Volumes and storage release design for regional Glacier Club detention facilities were developed using
the NRCS method. The detention facility will utilize a simple weir structure to control releases from
the detention facility.

Map Unit Descriptions
The map units delineated on the detailed soil maps in a soil survey represent the
soils or miscellaneous areas in the survey area. The map unit descriptions, along
with the maps, can be used to determine the composition and properties of a unit.
A map unit delineation on a soil map represents an area dominated by one or more
major kinds of soil or miscellaneous areas. A map unit is identified and named
according to the taxonomic classification of the dominant soils. Within a taxonomic
class there are precisely defined limits for the properties of the soils. On the
landscape, however, the soils are natural phenomena, and they have the
characteristic variability of all natural phenomena. Thus, the range of some
observed properties may extend beyond the limits defined for a taxonomic class.
Areas of soils of a single taxonomic class rarely, if ever, can be mapped without
including areas of other taxonomic classes. Consequently, every map unit is made
up of the soils or miscellaneous areas for which it is named and some minor
components that belong to taxonomic classes other than those of the major soils.
Most minor soils have properties similar to those of the dominant soil or soils in the
map unit, and thus they do not affect use and management. These are called
noncontrasting, or similar, components. They may or may not be mentioned in a
particular map unit description. Other minor components, however, have properties
and behavioral characteristics divergent enough to affect use or to require different
management. These are called contrasting, or dissimilar, components. They
generally are in small areas and could not be mapped separately because of the
scale used. Some small areas of strongly contrasting soils or miscellaneous areas
are identified by a special symbol on the maps. If included in the database for a
given area, the contrasting minor components are identified in the map unit
descriptions along with some characteristics of each. A few areas of minor
components may not have been observed, and consequently they are not
mentioned in the descriptions, especially where the pattern was so complex that it
was impractical to make enough observations to identify all the soils and
miscellaneous areas on the landscape.
The presence of minor components in a map unit in no way diminishes the
usefulness or accuracy of the data. The objective of mapping is not to delineate
pure taxonomic classes but rather to separate the landscape into landforms or
landform segments that have similar use and management requirements. The
delineation of such segments on the map provides sufficient information for the
development of resource plans. If intensive use of small areas is planned, however,
Custom Soil Resource Report
12
onsite investigation is needed to define and locate the soils and miscellaneous
areas.
An identifying symbol precedes the map unit name in the map unit descriptions.
Each description includes general facts about the unit and gives important soil
properties and qualities.
Soils that have profiles that are almost alike make up a soil series. Except for
differences in texture of the surface layer, all the soils of a series have major
horizons that are similar in composition, thickness, and arrangement.
Soils of one series can differ in texture of the surface layer, slope, stoniness,
salinity, degree of erosion, and other characteristics that affect their use. On the
basis of such differences, a soil series is divided into soil phases. Most of the areas
shown on the detailed soil maps are phases of soil series. The name of a soil phase
commonly indicates a feature that affects use or management. For example, Alpha
silt loam, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is a phase of the Alpha series.
Some map units are made up of two or more major soils or miscellaneous areas.
These map units are complexes, associations, or undifferentiated groups.
A complex consists of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas in such an intricate
pattern or in such small areas that they cannot be shown separately on the maps.
The pattern and proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat similar
in all areas. Alpha-Beta complex, 0 to 6 percent slopes, is an example.
An association is made up of two or more geographically associated soils or
miscellaneous areas that are shown as one unit on the maps. Because of present
or anticipated uses of the map units in the survey area, it was not considered
practical or necessary to map the soils or miscellaneous areas separately. The
pattern and relative proportion of the soils or miscellaneous areas are somewhat
similar. Alpha-Beta association, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
An undifferentiated group is made up of two or more soils or miscellaneous areas
that could be mapped individually but are mapped as one unit because similar
interpretations can be made for use and management. The pattern and proportion
of the soils or miscellaneous areas in a mapped area are not uniform. An area can
be made up of only one of the major soils or miscellaneous areas, or it can be made
up of all of them. Alpha and Beta soils, 0 to 2 percent slopes, is an example.
Some surveys include miscellaneous areas. Such areas have little or no soil
material and support little or no vegetation. Rock outcrop is an example.

1.0 REPORT INTRODUCTION
This report presents our geotechnical engineering recommendations for the proposed Moab
Aerial Tramway Addition Project. This report was requested by Michael Duehrssen, project
owner. The field study was completed on January 9, 2019. The laboratory study was completed
on January 28, 2019.
This report provides geotechnical engineering recommendations that may include comments
regarding the site geology as it pertains to the geotechnical engineering evaluation and associated
recommendations for this site. We have also performed limited scope slope stability analyses
and associated recommendations for the proposed unreinforced excavation cut slopes associated
with the project addition. This report should not be misinterpreted as a geological report or
geologic hazard report, and does not provide in depth analyses for potential geological hazards
such as potential rock fall or debris flow activity. We are available to provide a geological
hazard study for the project at your request.
Geotechnical engineering is a discipline which provides insight into natural conditions and site
characteristics such as; subsurface soil and water conditions, soil strength, swell (expansion)
potential, consolidation (settlement) potential, and slope stability considerations. The
information provided by the geotechnical engineer is utilized by many people including the
project owner, architect or designer, structural engineer, civil engineer, the project builder and
others. The information is used to help develop a design and subsequently implement
construction strategies that are appropriate for the subsurface soil and water conditions, and slope
stability considerations. It is important that the geotechnical engineer be consulted throughout
the design and construction process to verify the implementation of the geotechnical engineering
recommendations provided in this report. The recommendations and technical aspects of this
report are intended for design and construction personnel who are familiar with construction
concepts and techniques, and understand the terminology presented below.
The geotechnical engineering report is the beginning of a process involving the geotechnical
engineering consultant on any project. It is common for unforeseen, or otherwise variable
subsurface soil and water conditions to be encountered during construction. As discussed in our
proposal for our services, it is imperative that we be contacted during the foundation excavation
stage of the project to verify that the conditions encountered in our field exploration are
representative of those encountered during construction. Compaction testing of fill material and
testing of foundation concrete are equally important tasks that should be performed by the
geotechnical engineering consultant during construction. We should be contacted during the
construction phase of the project and/or if any questions or comments arise as a result of the
information presented below.

The following outline provides a synopsis of the various portions of this report;
Sections 1.0 and 2.0 provide an introduction and an establishment of our scope of
service.
Sections 3.0 and 4.0 of this report present our geotechnical engineering field and
laboratory studies
Sections 5.0 through 11.0 presents our geotechnical engineering design parameters and
recommendations which are based on our engineering analysis of the data obtained.
Section 12.0 provides a brief discussion of construction sequencing and strategies which
may influence the geotechnical engineering characteristics of the site.
The discussion and construction recommendations presented in Section 12.0 are intended to
help develop site soil conditions that are consistent with the geotechnical engineering
recommendations presented previously in the report. Ancillary information such as some
background information regarding soil corrosion and radon considerations are presented as
general reference. The construction considerations section is not intended to address all of the
construction planning and needs for the project site, but is intended to provide an overview to
aid the owner, design team, and contractor in understanding some construction concepts that
may influence some of the geotechnical engineering aspects of the site and proposed
development.
The data used to generate our recommendations are presented throughout this report and in the
attached figures.
1.1 Scope of Project
We understand that the proposed project will consist of designing and constructing an addition
that will be located immediately adjacent to the northwest corner of the existing aerial tramway
building (referred to as tram for the remainder of this report). We are not currently aware of the
particular foundation design details for the existing tram building, however we suspect that the
existing structure is supported by spread footings that bear at approximate code frost depth
elevation. We suspect that the existing components that support the aerial tram such as the tram
poles and motor/cable bases are anchored in some fashion into the formational materials that
underlie the project site.
As discussed in Section 5.0 of this report, it is likely that the portion of the existing tram
building foundation system that will be located above and adjacent to the new proposed addition
will need to be temporarily underpinned/stabilized during the construction of the new addition.
We have provided a discussion regarding potential shoring elements that may be considered to
temporarily support the existing structure foundation system. The project structural engineer
and/or shoring design engineer will need to provide the specific details for the existing tram
building shoring design.

Figure 3.3 presented in Section 3.3 of this report may be referenced to help clarify the following
discussion. The new addition is proposed to be two levels. The finished floor elevation for the
upper level of the addition will be at the same approximate ground surface elevation that
presently surrounds the existing tram building. The lower level will consist of walk out
basement with a finished floor elevation about 12 feet below the ground surface elevation that
presently surrounds the existing tram building. The walkout basement level retaining walls will
retain up to about 12 feet of soil backfill materials.
The walk-out level of the new addition will access a patio area that will provide access to the
existing bike path located around the southern side of the Lions Club Park. Unrestrained
excavation cut slopes are proposed above portions of the patio area. We understand that the
proposed unrestrained excavation cut slopes have been designed with a slope inclination of 2:1;
horizontal to vertical (h:v) with a vertical relief of about 14 feet.
We understand that a portion of the existing gravel surface parking area located to the southeast
of the existing tram building will be paved as part of the project. We have provided asphalt
pavement recommendations for the new proposed parking area in Section 11.0 below.
2.0 GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING STUDY
Our services include a geotechnical engineering study of the subsurface soil and water
conditions of this site for development of a foundation design for the new addition, and
pavement section thickness designs for the project parking area.
2.1 Geotechnical Engineering Study Scope of Service
The scope of our study which was delineated in our proposal for services, and the order of
presentation of the information within this report, is outlined below.
Field Study
• We advanced four continuous flight auger test borings within the areas we understand are
planned for construction of the proposed addition structure, and six shallow auger test
borings in select areas of the existing gravel surfaced parking area.
• Select driven sleeve and bulk soil samples were obtained from the test borings and
returned to our laboratory for testing.
Laboratory Study
• The laboratory testing and analysis of the samples obtained included;
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019

Moisture content and dry density,
Estimates of soil strength parameters based on laboratory testing, including direct
shear strength tests, to help establish a basis for development of lateral earth
pressure values for the site soil materials,
Swell/consolidation tests to help assess the expansion and consolidation potential
of the support materials on this site to help estimate potential uplift associated
with expansive soil/formational conditions, and to help estimate settlement of the
foundation system,
Plastic and liquid limit tests to determine the Plasticity Index of the soil,
Sieve analysis tests,
Moisture content/dry density relationship (Proctor) tests for the subgrade soils
encountered below the existing parking area aggregate materials, and,
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests to assess the strength characteristics of the
subgrade soils that underlie the existing parking area aggregate materials.
Geotechnical Engineering Recommendations

contacted to provide a design based on the information presented in this report.
• Our subsurface exploration, laboratory study and engineering analysis do not address
environmental or geologic hazard issues other than expansive soil conditions and
basic level slope stability modeling.
3.0 FIELD STUDY
3.1 Project Location
We understand that the project site address is designated as 1750 North Highway 191. The
project site is located adjacent to the northeast side of North Highway 191, about 400 feet
southeast of the intersection of North Highway 191 and Highway 128. The project site is located
within Grand County Limits, just south of the Lions Club Park recreation area. The approximate
location of the project site is provided on Figure 3.1 presented below. The imagery used for
Figure 3.1 was obtained from Google Earth. A more detailed aerial view of the project site is
presented on Figure 3.2 in Section 3.2 below.

Figure 3.1: Approximate Project Location
3.2 Site Description and Geomorphology
We understand that the existing tram facility was constructed about 20 years ago, but was never
fully operational. The existing development includes the tram building and other related tram
infrastructure, a gravel surface parking area that we suspect was proposed to be paved as part of
the original project, and concrete flatwork such as sidewalks and curb and gutter. In general, the
existing concrete flatwork appears to be relatively sound with minimal evidence of past
movement. We observed evidence of some movement (likely settlement) of the concrete
flatwork associated with entryway into the existing tram structure.
The ground surface across the existing improved portions of the facility is relatively flat,
created in part by past excavations and likely limited placement of fill materials. Extensive steep
sloped surfaces and cliff outcrops composed of the Chinle, Wingate Sandstone, and Kayenta
Formations are located above and to the east-northeast of the existing tram building and parking
area.

PN: 55530GE

The Chinle Formation is located/exposed at the approximate project elevation. We encountered
the Chinle Formation in our test borings advanced for the proposed addition structure. The Chile
Formation is generally composed of interbedded layers of red to brown colored sandstone,
siltstone, and mudstone/claystone materials. The claystone materials exhibit a moderate to high
swell potential.
We observed existing excavation cut slope surfaces associated with the past project
development within the formational materials in areas above and to the northeast of the existing
tram building and parking area. The inclination of these cut slope surfaces is in the range of
about 2:1 to 1½:1 h:v. We did not observe evidence of deep-seated slope movement within the
existing excavation cut slopes, however we did observe evidence of past erosion on the slope
surfaces. Erosional deposits of soil materials were noted at the base areas of the existing
excavation cut slope surfaces above the tram building and existing parking area. Some of these
erosional soil deposits are apparent on Google Earth aerial imagery. Figure 3.2 presented below
indicates obvious areas where past erosional and possibly limited debris flow depositions have
occurred in the past (Google Earth imagery date: 6/8/2013). We also noted evidence of rockfall
activity on the slope surfaces above the project site.

It should be noted that continued soil deposition from general erosional activity and possible
future debris flow and/or rockfall activity will likely continue to occur in the areas noted above
as well as other sloped surfaces in areas adjacent to the project site (such as the slope surfaces
between the existing bike path and the subject property). Periodic maintenance including
removal of debris will likely need to be performed in the future. If possible, we recommend that
access be maintained for equipment to aid in the excavation of potential accumulated debris and
maintenance of the slope surfaces that surround the project site. Based on our cursory review of
the preliminary project civil plans developed by SET Engineering, it appears that access for
maintenance type equipment can be maintained.
3.3 Subsurface Soil and Water Conditions
We advanced four continuous flight auger test borings in the vicinity of the proposed addition
structure (Test Borings TB-1 through TB-4), and six shallow auger test borings in select
locations of the existing parking area (Test Borings TB-5 through TB-10). The approximate
locations of our test borings shown on Figure 3.3 below are indicated on the preliminary site plan
developed by SET Engineering. We have also provided the approximate test boring locations
relative to Google Earth imagery on Figure 3.4 below (imagery date: 7/27/2015). The logs of the
soils encountered in our test borings are presented in Appendix A. The location of Test Boring
TB-2 was influenced by a suspected subsurface sewer line outside the northwest corner of the
existing tram building.

General Description of Subsurface Conditions in Test Borings TB-1 through TB-4
Test Borings TB-1 through TB-4 were advanced in the vicinity of the proposed addition
structure. In Test Borings TB-1, TB-2 and TB-4 we generally encountered a mixture of medium
dense to dense sand and gravel with a clay soil matrix from the ground surface to a depth ranging
from about 1 to 2½ feet below the ground surface where we encountered the Chinle Formation.
In Test Boring TB-3 we encountered dense sand and gravel with a clay soil matrix to a depth of
about 6 feet below the ground surface elevation where we encountered the Chinle Formation.
The formational materials encountered generally consisted of sandy claystone and siltstone
materials with interbedded layers of very hard sandstone. Standard penetration tests within the
formational materials varied from as low as about N=21 to as high as no penetration (refusal of
the sampling barrel). We experienced near auger refusal in some of the harder sandstone layers,
however these layers were typically only about 1 to 2 feet thick with softer underlying claystone
materials, allowing us to “break through” the harder sandstone layers with our auger drilling
equipment. Test Borings TB-1 through TB-4 were advanced to depths ranging from about 16 to
34 feet below the ground surface elevation.
The claystone materials encountered in Test Boring TB-1 at depths ranging from about 6 to 13
feet below the ground surface elevation exhibits a very high swell potential. The sandier
claystone materials encountered in our other test borings exhibit a low to moderate swell
potential.
We anticipate that the formational materials can generally be excavated with conventional large
excavation equipment to our understanding of the project excavation depths. This may require
substantial effort in some of the harder sandstone layers. We anticipate that excavator mounted
hydraulic or pneumatic hammers may be needed to excavate through the more competent
formational materials. Based on our limited subsurface data we do not anticipate that mass
blasting will be necessary for the project excavation. If needed, we recommend that less
invasive excavation concepts be explored such as expansion grouts or lower energy and more
confined blasts to excavate through the harder sandstone layers that may be encountered. The
very hard sandstone layers encountered in our borings to our understanding of the project
excavation depths, exhibit limited thickness with softer claystone materials underlying the harder
sandstone layers.
General Description of Subsurface Conditions in Test Borings TB-5 through TB-10
Test Borings TB-5 though TB-10 were advanced in select areas of the existing gravel surfaced
parking area. In general, we encountered about 6 to 7 inches of existing 1-inch minus aggregate
base course material overlying the site subgrade soils. Some of the aggregate materials were
contaminated with sandy clay soil materials from past erosional activity. Up to about 2 inches of
sandy clay soil associated with past erosional deposition was encountered over the existing
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
13
aggregate materials in Test Borings TB-6 and TB-7. As discussed in Section 11.0 below, we do
not recommend reusing the existing aggregate base course materials for the proposed asphalt
pavement parking area section due to the contaminated nature of some of the existing aggregate
materials.
The subgrade soils encountered varied from being composed of dense silty sand materials to
stiff sandy clay soil materials with varying quantities of gravel and cobbles. We encountered
weathered formational claystone materials in Test Boring TB-6 and TB-10 at depths ranging
from about 2 to 3 feet below the ground surface elevation. Test Borings TB-5 through TB-10
were advanced to depths ranging from about 3 to 4 feet below the ground surface elevation.
We did not encounter free subsurface water in our test borings at the time of the advancement
of our test borings at the project site. We suspect that the subsurface water elevation and soil
moisture conditions will be influenced by snow melt and/or precipitation and local future
landscape irrigation.
The logs of the subsurface soil conditions encountered in our test borings are presented in
Appendix A. The logs present our interpretation of the subsurface conditions encountered
exposed in the test borings at the time of our field work. Subsurface soil and water conditions
are often variable across relatively short distances. It is likely that variable subsurface soil and
water conditions will be encountered during construction. Laboratory soil classifications of
samples obtained may differ from field classifications.
3.4 Site Seismic Classification
The seismic site class as defined by the 2015 International Building Code and Chapter 20 of
ASCE 7 is based on some average values of select soil characteristics such as shear wave
velocity, standard penetration test result values, undrained shear strength, and plasticity index.
Based on our standard penetration field tests and laboratory test results we feel that the
subsurface conditions for the project are consistent with the criteria for a Site Class C
designation.
4.0 LABORATORY STUDY
The laboratory study included tests to determine soils types, estimate the strength potential of
the site soil materials, and swell and consolidation potential of the site soil/formational materials.
We performed the following tests on select samples obtained from the test borings.
Moisture content and dry density; the moisture content and in-situ dry density of some of the
soil/formational material samples waw assessed. The results of these tests are tabulated in Table
4.1 below.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
14
Sieve Analysis and Atterberg Limits; the plastic limit, liquid limit and plasticity index as well
as the material grading of select soil samples was determined. The results of the sieve analysis
and Atterberg Limits tests are presented on Figures 4.1 through 4.5 of Appendix B.
The soil samples that overlie the formational materials that were tested classify as a USCS type
SC clayey sand. The subgrade soils encountered in the existing parking area generally classify
as a USCS type CL or AASHTO type A-4 sandy lean clay. The samples of the existing
aggregate materials that were encountered and tested from the existing gravel surfaced parking
area generally classify as USCS type GM to GP or AASHTO type A-2-4 silty gravel with sand.
Swell-Consolidation Tests; the one dimensional swell-consolidation potential of some of the
samples obtained from the formational claystone materials was determined in general accordance
with constant volume methodology. The soil samples tested were exposed to varying loads and
inundated with water at surcharge loads of 100 and 500 pounds per square foot. The one-
dimensional swell-consolidation response of the soil sample to the loads and water are
represented graphically on Figures 4.6 through 4.9 of Appendix B. The samples tested exhibited
a highly variable swell potential, ranging from a low to high swell potential.
A synopsis of some of the laboratory information obtained from the swell-consolidation tests is
tabulated below.

determined swell pressure may be different from that measured in the laboratory.
Direct Shear Strength tests; Direct shear strength tests were performed on the soil materials
that overlie the formational materials obtained from Test Boring TB-3. The results of the direct
shear strength tests are presented on Figure 4.10 of Appendix B. We used an angle of internal
friction (phi) of 32 degrees and a cohesion of about 50 pounds per square foot in our analyses.
PN: 55530GE

Moisture content-dry density relationship (Proctor) tests; We performed laboratory moisture
content-dry density tests (modified Proctor) to assess the relationship between the soil moisture
content and dry density. The tests were performed on bulk soil samples obtained from the
subgrade materials from Test Borings TB-7 and TB-8, as the subgrade soils encountered in these
test borings represent the lower strength subgrade materials within the project parking area. The
Proctor tests were performed in general accordance with ASTM D1557. The results of the
laboratory Proctor tests are presented on Figure 4.11 of Appendix B. We obtained a maximum
dry density of about 132.0 pounds per cubic foot at an optimum moisture content of about 10.0
percent.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Tests; We assessed the pavement section support
characteristics of the subgrade soils encountered in Test Borings TB-7 and TB-8. The CBR tests
were performed in general accordance with ASTM D1883. The results of the CBR tests are
presented on Figure 4.12 of Appendix B. We obtained a CBR of about 4.0 when the subgrade
soils are compacted to 90 percent of the maximum dry density as defined by the modified
Proctor test.
5.0 GENERAL DISCUSSION FOR STABILIZING THE EXISTING TRAM BUILDING
FOUNDATION SYSTEM
As previously discussed, we anticipate that a portion of the existing tram building foundation
system (northwest corner) may need to be underpinned/stabilized based on our understanding of
the location and bearing elevation of the basement level of the proposed addition relative to the
existing tram building. The need to underpin/stabilize the existing tram building foundation
system will be partially dependent on the type and bearing elevation of the foundation system
that was used to support the existing structure, and nature of the formational materials that
underlie the structure such as fractures/bedding planes within the formational materials. We
anticipate that a conventional shallow bearing (frost depth elevation) spread footing was used to
support this area of the existing tram building.
As part of the project design and development, we recommend that the existing foundation
system be exposed to verify the type and bearing elevation of the foundation system that was
used to support the existing tram building. We should be contacted to observe the
excavation/exploration of the existing tram building foundation system. The portion of the
proposed basement level excavation adjacent to the existing structure must not occur until a
foundation support strategy/design is obtained for the existing building.
The project shoring design engineer should be consulted for the project shoring needs. There
are likely a number of shoring solutions to stabilize the existing tram building foundation system.
If the formational materials below the existing structure are relatively competent with minimal
fracturing, it may be possible to construct a top-down excavation that is stabilized with a steel
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
16
reinforced shotcrete surface. However, we recommend that the project budget for a more
substantial and robust underpinning strategy such as a micropile type of curtain wall that is
generally discussed below.
Based on the subsurface conditions encountered in our test borings, we recommend
considering a micropile type of underpinning foundation system to stabilize the existing tram
building foundation system. Oftentimes, a multi-row micropile curtain wall is constructed for
this type of underpinning/stabilization application. Gaining additional lateral capacity to the
micropile curtain wall can be achieved by utilizing battered micropiles and/or soil nails that
structurally connect to the curtain wall in key locations. The structural connectivity of the
battered micropile or soil nail components to the vertical micropile elements can be achieved by
using a steel reinforced shotcrete facing that is applied against the outside face of the micropile
curtain wall.
We have provided anticipated allowable grout bond capacities for micropile elements in Section
6.2 below. We are available to provide capacities for alternative underpinning type foundation
elements that are applicable for the project at your request. The project shoring design engineer
will need to provide the structural design for the project shoring needs, and in particular will
need to evaluate the lateral capacity of the chosen foundation underpinning elements.
6.0 FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on our understanding of the proposed addition structure, the lower finished floor
elevation of the addition will extend into the Chinle Formation. We anticipate that portions of
the building excavation will extend to relatively competent formational sandstone materials with
low associated swell potential, while other portions of the building excavation will extend to less
competent claystone materials that do exhibit swell potential. The swell potential of the
formational claystone materials encountered and tested in our test borings varies substantially,
ranging from a relatively low to high swell potential.
It is extremely difficult to predict the potential for movement of a conventional spread footing
type of foundation system on this project site due to the highly variable nature of the formational
materials and associated variable swell potential of the claystone materials. We have opted to
provide recommendations for both a conventional spread footing foundation system and deep
foundation systems with grade beams and floor slabs supported over void. The project owner
must understand that substantial post construction movement (uplift) of a spread footing
foundation system and concrete flatwork may occur if the formational claystone materials below
the structure become wetted (take on additional moisture), this is discussed in more detail in
Section 6.3 below. The foundation system with the least potential for post construction
movement is a deep foundation system such as drilled piers or micropiles with the structure
grade beams supported over void. Deep foundation system design concepts which include
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
17
isolation of shallow components including floor systems supported over void are less likely to
experience post-construction movement due to volume changes in the site soil. Our
recommendations for drilled piers and micropiles are provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 below.
Our recommendations for spread footings are presented in Section 6.3 below.
The following details must be addressed to help minimize the potential for surface water to
migrate to the foundation and concrete flatwork support materials regardless of the type of
foundation system that is chosen to support the structure;
• Surface drainage around the structure must be carefully designed to limit the potential
for surface water to pond around the structure.
• We recommend that all drainage features be lined with a relatively robust impermeable
liner material (pond liner type material) to limit migration of moisture into the soils
below and around the drainage features.
• The shallow drain system concept discussed in Section 12.5 below should be
incorporated around the structure to further reduce surface water from accessing the
foundation support soils.
• A foundation drain must be constructed, not only to help limit the potential for
hydrostatic pressures to accumulate against the basement level retaining walls, but also
to help limit subsurface water from accumulating in the foundation support area of the
structure.
The integrity and long-term performance of each type of foundation system is influenced by the
quality of workmanship which is implemented during construction. It is imperative that all
excavation and fill placement operations be conducted by qualified personnel using appropriate
equipment and techniques to provide suitable support conditions for the foundation system.
6.1 Drilled Piers
Section 6.2.2 below should be referenced for recommendations regarding the placement of void
form below the structure grade beams for the drilled pier foundation system.
Drilled piers which are designed as end bearing and supported by the clean competent
unweathered formational material underlying the site are a viable foundation system option for
this project. The drilled pier borings should be advanced a minimum of 14 feet into the
formational materials below the grade beam support elevation, and should be advanced to the
very hard and competent formational materials. We recommend that a minimum pier diameter
of 16 to 18 inches be selected for the project to help aid with the placement of the pier
reinforcement steel. An allowable end bearing capacity of 25,000 pounds per square foot may be
used for the drilled piers.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
18
The drilled piers should be designed to resist uplift associated with swelling of the formational
claystone materials. The top of the piers should not be flared, which can allow the soils to
“grab” the pier and cause uplift. The claystone materials encountered and tested from our test
borings have the ability to exert uplift forces on the drilled piers if the claystone materials around
the drilled piers become wetted. We estimate that the site soils may imposed an uplift force of
about 3,500 pounds per square foot of pier circumference surface area for the depth of the soils
that could become wetted (perhaps the upper 3 to 4 feet of the soil materials surrounding the
piers).
We encountered near auger refusal in the harder sandstone layers at some of our test boring
locations. An experienced pier driller should be selected that has a variety of cutting bit styles
and techniques available to advance the borings through the very hard sandstone layers. The
piers should be installed using drilling equipment which is good working order and intended for
advancing large diameter borings. Proper performance of the drilled piers requires appropriate
drilling and installation techniques. All drilled piers must be installed by a contractor who is
familiar with pier construction. The piers should be cased, as required by the site soil conditions
so that no flares or “mushrooms” exist at the tops of the piers. Flares allow for increased uplift
forces to develop in the piers and subsequent movement which may cause damage to the
structure.
Proper performance of the drilled pier is partially influenced by the character and quality of the
concrete used to construct the pier. The particular mix design of the pier concrete should be
specified by the project structural engineer. The pier concrete should exhibit a maximum water
to cement ratio of 0.45. It may be necessary to use mid- or high-range water reducing concrete
admixtures to obtain concrete with both a suitable slump and acceptable concrete compressive
strength characteristics. Use of a tremmie and/or pumping equipment should be used to place
concrete in drilled pier borings deeper than about 10 feet.
We did not encounter free subsurface water in our test borings at the time of our field work. It
has been our experience that subsurface water is often encountered along fractures, fissures and
joints within the formational material. Occasionally the drilling operations will increase the pore
pressures within the adjacent material to produce a small amount of water access to the drilled
pier excavation. If water and/or caving soils are encountered during the pier installation
operation it may be necessary to dewater the pier excavations and remove any caved soils. Pier
concrete should not be conventionally placed if more than a few inches of water exists in the
bottom of the pier boring. If the water cannot be pumped out of the boring prior effectively then
the pier concrete may be placed with a tremmie or pump placed in the bottom of the boring so
that the concrete displaces the collected water.
The support elevation of the pier must be thoroughly cleaned prior to placement of the pier
concrete. Loose material in the bottom of the pier borings will cause settlement of the pier. The
pier support elevation may be cleaned using clean-out tools attached to the drill rig, hand
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
19
equipment, excavation suction equipment, or a combination of these. Under no circumstances
should the pier foundation concrete be placed when loose material exists in the bottom of the
borings.
The interface between the weathered formational and the underlying competent formational
material was relatively obscure in some of our test borings and was a transitional contact in other
borings. We should be contacted during construction to aid in determining the appropriate pier
support elevation. We should be contacted to measure the depth of the piers, verify the
competency of the support materials, and check the plumbness of the piers.
6.2 Drilled Micropiles
Micropiles generally consist of a relatively small diameter boring (typically in the range of
about 3½ to 6 inches for common applications in the area), with a single reinforcement element
(generally with a minimum diameter of about 32 millimeters) centralized within the depth of the
boring. The reinforcement steel is then bonded to the surrounding strata with the placement of
Portland cement grout. The grout may be pumped through a grouting tube placed to the bottom
of the boring for conventional predrilled type micropiles, or may be pumped as the micropile
steel is being advanced for injection type anchors that utilize sacrificial cutting heads attached to
the bottom of the reinforcement steel. The majority of the load carrying capacity (tension or
compression) of a micropile element is gained from the adhesion characteristics of the grout
material to the surrounding soil/formational strata. Contribution from end bearing capacity for
compressional forces is generally neglected due to the relatively small diameter of the element.
Micropiles generally exhibit little capacity to resolve shear or moment forces due to the slender
and minimally reinforced nature of the elements. Battered micropiles are often installed to resist
lateral/shear forces, or heavier section steel cased micropiles may be used that rely on the steel
casing to provide the structural resistance to lateral forces.
The micropile elements should be embedded to a minimum depth of at least 20 feet below the
structure grade beam elevation. An estimated allowable capacity of 1.5 kips per foot of
embedment may be used for the initial micropile design for boring diameters ranging from 3.5 to
4.0 inches. This estimated allowable capacity may be used for both tensional and compression
forces. We recommend that the upper 3 feet of the micropile embedment be discounted from the
load carrying capacity calculations. We are available to provide estimated tensional and
compression capacities for larger diameter micropile elements at your request. The estimated
allowable capacity must be verified with testing performed on both sacrificial and production
anchors. This micropile testing is discussed in more detain later in this section of the report.
We recommend that the following general design and construction procedures be used for
micropiles;
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
20
• The project structural engineer should be contacted to provide specifications regarding
the yield capacity and diameter of the reinforcement steel. We generally recommend a
minimum bar diameter of at least 32 millimeters and grade 75 steel.
• A minimum boring diameter of 3.5 inches should be used to construct the micropiles.
• We encountered near auger refusal in some of the harder sandstone layers. The selected
drilling equipment/drilling type must be capable of advancing the micropile borings
through very hard sandstone materials.
• The boring diameter must be appropriately sized for the selected reinforcement steel
such that a minimum 1-inch thick grout column between the steel reinforcement and
circumference of the boring exists.
• Either injection type anchors or predrilled borings with solid bar reinforcement (Type
A1 micropiles) may be considered for the project.
• For predrilled micropiles, the micropile reinforcement steel should be placed in the
boring with appropriately sized centralizers to ensure that the steel reinforcement is
centered within the boring.
• For predrilled micropiles, the cement grout should be pumped through a tremie tube that
is located at the bottom of the micropile boring to verify that the grout column extends
from the bottom of the boring to the surface of the boring.
• The cement grout should exhibit a maximum water to cement ratio of 0.45 and achieve a
minimum compressive strength of at least 5,000 psi at 28 days. The project structural
engineer may have additional grout related requirements. Sufficient grout should be
pumped into the borings such that the exiting grout exhibits the appropriate water to
cement ratio.
• The micropile center-to-center spacing should be at least 30 inches or 3 micropile
boring diameters, whichever is greater.
We recommend that at least two sacrificial micropiles be tested for creep and failure at a load of
at least 200 percent of the determined design load for the micropiles. It will likely be necessary
to only grout a portion of the sacrificial micropile within the design bond length to achieve
failure of the element. The sacrificial test load must not exceed 80 percent of the yield strength
of the reinforcement steel.
We recommend that proof testing be performed on about 5 percent of the production piles for
the project, and that the proof test load schedule to at least 160 percent of the micropile design
load. The project structural engineer should determine the actual load testing criteria for the
micropiles. We are available to assist with the development of the load testing schedule for the
project.
We are available to install test micropiles at your request. The test piles will provide additional
insight regarding the grout bond strength characteristics of the formational materials.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
21
The project structural engineer should be contacted to assess the lateral capacity of the
micropile reinforcement steel for temporary shoring applications. We do not recommend
accounting for any resistance to lateral forces for the production micropiles that permanently
support the structure. Either battered micropile components or heavy section steel cased
micropiles may be used to resolve lateral forces that may act on the structure.
6.2.2 Void Form Recommendations for Deep Foundation Systems
Grade beams are utilized in a deep foundation system to distribute the structure loads to each of
the deep foundation elements. The grade beam reinforcement and associated span distance is
developed by the project structural engineer. The structural considerations of the grade beam in
association with an assessment of the structure being supported will, in part, determine the
spacing between each of the deep foundation elements (drilled piers or micropiles). Regardless
of the type of deep foundation being considered, it is imperative that an appropriate void be
developed below the grade beam so that swelling soils do not create uplift of the supported
structure.
Voids are most commonly developed with commercially available cardboard “void forms” that
are placed at the bottom of the concrete forms prior to placement of reinforcement steel and the
grade beam concrete. If the soils below the grade beam become moistened and expand, the
cardboard void form will collapse without the soils having the ability to impose uplift forces on
the bottom of the grade beam. The height of the void is often related to the expansion potential
of the site soils and anticipated depth of wetting that will develop within the soils below the
grade beam. We recommend that minimum void height of at least 4 inches be established for
this project.
We are available to provide additional information in regard to void forms and associated
conditions if additional information is needed.
6.3 Spread Footings
As discussed in Section 6.0 above, it is extremely difficult to predict the potential for movement
of a conventional spread footing t ype of foundation system on this project site due to the highly
variable nature of the formational materials and associated variable swell potential of the
clays tone materials. The project owner must understand that regardless of the expansive soil
mitigation design concepts that are presented in this report, if the swell pressure generated by the
expansive formational materials on this site exceeds the minimum dead load which is imposed
by the spread footing or other structural components, and the expansive formational materials
become wetted, uplift of the foundation system and other structural components is likely. A
deep foundation system such as drilled piers or micropiles (recommendations provided above),
will provide the foundation system with the least likelihood of post construction movement
associated with soil volume changes.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
22
The actual magnitude of the potential uplift of the foundation system depends on the volume (or
depth) of the support materials which become moistened after construction. It is difficult to
predict the extent and depth of formational support materials that could become moistened
during the life of the structure. Based on our experience in the area we feel that it is possible for
at least a 2 to 3 foot depth of the formational materials to become moistened if water accesses the
support materials. Based on the assumed depth of moistened soil and laboratory test data for the
swell-consolidation test sample obtained from Test Boring TB-1, we estimate that the magnitude
of the potential uplift of the foundation system could be at least 1½ to 2 inches. Based on the
data obtained from the other swell-consolidation test samples (much lower swell potential) we
anticipate that the magnitude of potential uplift of the foundation system could be in the range of
about ½ to ¾ inch.
If a spread footing foundation system is used to support the structure, we recommend that the
formational claystone materials encountered in the project excavation in the vicinity of our Test
Boring TB-1 location be identified during the project excavation phase. These materials must be
completely removed from this area of the structure foundation system excavation. Observations
of other portions of the foundation excavation should be made in an attempt to identify other
areas where the highly expansive claystone materials are present, and should be removed as
necessary. The owner is cautioned that the highly expansive claystone materials that we
encountered at our Test Boring TB-1 location may be present in additional areas below the
structure footprint area, but below the foundation excavation depth where they cannot be
identified and removed, potentially causing future movement of the structure foundation system
or concrete flatwork associated with the project.
Typically uplift associated with swelling soils occurs only where the foundation support soils
have been exposed to water; therefore the uplift may impose shear stresses in the foundation
system. The magnitude of the imposed shear stress is related to the swell pressure of the support
soil, but is difficult to estimate. Properly designed and constructed continuous spread footings
with stem walls (or beams) have the ability to help distribute the forces associated with swelling
of the support materials. The rigidity of the system helps reduce differential movement and
associated damage to the overlying structure. Swelling of the support materials below isolated
pad footings will result in direct uplift of the columns and structural components supported by
the columns. Damage to the structure due to this type of movement can be severe. We
recommend that isolated pad footings be avoided and that the foundation system be designed as
rigid as is reasonably possible.
High foundation dead load, careful preparation of the support soils, and careful placement and
compaction of stem wall backfill and positive surface drainage adjacent to the foundation system
all help reduce the influence of swelling soils on the performance of the spread footing
foundation system. We recommend that the footings be designed with a minimum dead load of
at least 750 pounds per square foot. If structurally possible, we recommend that a greater dead
load in the range of 1,000 pounds per square foot be designed for.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
23
The footings should be supported directly by the clean, competent formational materials. If
needed a layer of compacted structural fill may be placed between the footings and formational
materials in areas that are over-excavated from the removal of claystone materials. We
recommend that the maximum depth of structural fill of 30 inches be used, and that the structural
fill material consist of well graded granular material. Clean gap-graded aggregate such as
concrete aggregate must not be used for structural fill due to the potential to store water within
the aggregate void space. Footings supported directly on the formational material may be
designed using a bearing capacity of 5,000 pounds per square foot. Footings supported by a
blanket of compacted structural fill placed on the formational material may be designed using a
soil bearing capacity of 3,500 pounds per square foot. The bearing capacity may be increased by
20 percent due to transient loads. We estimate that the footings designed and constructed above
will have a total post construction settlement of about ½ inch of less.
If used, the compacted structural fill should be placed and compacted as discussed in the
Construction Considerations, “Fill Placement Recommendations” section of this report, below.
The zone of influence of the footing (at elevations close to the bottom of the footing) is often
approximated as being between two lines subtended at 45 degree angles from each bottom corner
of the footing. The compacted structural fill should extend beyond the zone of influence of the
footing as shown in the sketch below.
A general and simple rule to apply to the geometry of the compacted structural fill blanket is
that it should extend beyond each edge of the footing a distance which is equal to the fill
thickness.

The footing embedment is a relatively critical, yet often overlooked, aspect of foundation
construction. The embedment helps develop the soil bearing capacity, increases resistance of the
footing to lateral movement and decreases the potential for rapid moisture changes in the footing
support soils, particularly in crawl space areas. Interior footing embedment reduces the exposure
of the crawl space support soils to dry crawl space air. Reduction in drying of the support soil
helps reduce downward movement of interior footings due to soil shrinkage. All footings should
have a minimum depth of embedment of at least 1 foot. The embedment concept is shown
below.
Footings located on, or near slopes (including excavation cut slopes) may need to have an
additional embedment to establish a suitable footing/slope stability condition for the system. We
should be contacted to provide additional information for footings located on, or near, sloped
areas.
Footings for the addition (new structure) must be designed and constructed to reduce the
influence of the new footings on the support characteristics of the soils supporting the existing
tram building foundation system, and/or that the existing tram footings do not negatively
influence the new addition structure foundation system or retaining structures. Particular care
must be taken to verify that the existing tram building foundation system is not compromised,
both for temporary excavation and long-term performance scenarios (generally discussed in
Section 5.0 above). We are available to review the foundation design geometry for the new
addition structure and existing tram building foundation system as the project plans are
developed.

All footings should be support at an elevation deeper than the maximum depth of frost
penetration for the area. This recommendation includes exterior isolated footings and column
supports. Please contact the local building department for specific frost depth requirements.
The post construction differential settlement may be reduced by designing footings that will
apply relatively uniform loads on the support soils. Concentrated loads should be supported by
footings that have been designed to impose similar loads as those imposed by adjacent footings.
Under no circumstances should any footing be supported by more than 30 inches of compacted
structural fill material unless we are contacted to review the specific conditions supporting these
footing locations.
The design concepts and parameters presented above are based on the soil conditions
encountered in our test borings. We should be contacted during the initial phases of the
foundation excavation at the site to assess the soil support conditions and to verify our
recommendations.
7.0 RETAINING STRUCTURES
We understand that laterally loaded walls will be constructed as part of this site development.
Lateral loads will be imposed on the retaining structures by the adjacent soils and, in some cases,
surcharge loads on the retained soils. The loads imposed by the soil are commonly referred to as
lateral earth pressures. The magnitude of the lateral earth pressure forces is partially dependent
on the soil strength characteristics, the geometry of the ground surface adjacent to the retaining
structure, the subsurface water conditions and on surcharge loads.
Due to the expansive nature of the site soils we do not recommend that the natural
clay/claystone materials associated with the project excavation be used for retaining wall
backfill. The retaining walls may be designed using the lateral earth pressure values for
imported granular soil that are tabulated below.

The granular soil that is used for the retaining wall backfill may be permeable and may allow
water migration to the foundation support soils. There are several options available to help
reduce water migration to the foundation soils, two of which are discussed here.
• An impervious geotextile layer and shallow drain system should be incorporated into the
backfill, as discussed in Section 12.5 below.
• The site clayey soil materials should be placed and be well compacted for a depth of
about 1½ to 2 feet, above the shallow drain system. It should be noted that if the site
clay soils are used volume changes may occur which will influence the performance of
overlying concrete flatwork, if present.
The values tabulated above are for well drained backfill soils. The values provided above do
not include any forces due to adjacent surcharge loads or sloped soils. If the backfill soils
become saturated the imposed lateral earth pressures will be significantly higher than those
tabulated above.
The granular imported soil backfill values tabulated above are appropriate for material with an
angle of internal friction of 35 degrees, or greater. The granular backfill must be placed within
the retaining structure zone of influence as shown below in order for the lateral earth pressure
values tabulated above for the granular material to be appropriate.
Backfill should not be placed and compacted behind the retaining structure unless approved by
the project structural engineer. Backfill placed prior to construction of all appropriate structural
members such as floors, or prior to appropriate curing of the retaining wall concrete (if used)
may result in severe damage and/or failure of the retaining structure.

8.0 SUBSURFACE DRAIN SYSTEM
A subsurface drain system and/or weep holes should be included in the retaining structure
design. Exterior retaining structures may be constructed with weep holes to allow subsurface
water migration through the retaining structures. A drain system constructed with a free draining
aggregate material and a perforated pipe should be constructed adjacent to retaining structures or
adjacent to foundation walls on sites with expansive soil conditions. We suggest that the system
consist of a fabric-wrapped aggregate, or a sand material (some sands may not need fabric, we
are available to discuss this with you) which surrounds a rigid perforated pipe. We do not
recommend use of flexible corrugated perforated pipe since it is not readily possible to establish
a uniform gradient of the flexible pipe throughout the drain system alignment.
The drain system pipe should be graded to surface outlets or a sump vault. Typically, a
minimum gradient of about 2 percent is preferred for subsurface drain systems, but site geometry
and topography may influence the actual installed pipe gradient. Water must not be allowed to
pool along any portion of the subsurface drain system. An improperly constructed subsurface
drain system may actually promote water access to undesirable locations. The drain system pipe
should be surrounded by about 2 to 4 cubic feet per lineal foot of free draining aggregate or sand.
If a sump vault and pump are incorporated into the subsurface drain system, care should be taken
so that the water pumped from the vault does not recirculate through pervious soils and obtain
access to the basement or crawl space areas. A generalized subsurface drain system concept is
shown below.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
28
There are often aspects of each site and structure which require some tailoring of the subsurface
drain system to meet the needs of individual projects. We are available to provide consultation
for the subsurface drain system for this project, if desired.
Water often will migrate along utility trench excavations in formational material. If the utility
trench extends from areas above the site, this trench may be a source for subsurface water within
the proposed basements. The utility trench backfill must be thoroughly compacted to help
reduce the amount of water migration. The subsurface drain system should be designed to
collect subsurface water from the utility trench and fractures within the formational material and
direct it to surface discharge points.

9.0 CONCRETE FLATWORK
We anticipate that both interior and exterior concrete flatwork will be included in the project
design. Concrete flatwork is typically lightly loaded and has a limited capability to resist shear
forces associated with uplift from swelling soils and/or frost heave. It is prudent for the design
and construction of concrete flatwork on this project to be able to accommodate some movement
associated with volume changes in the support soils.
Interior floors supported over a crawl space or void are less likely to experience movement than
are concrete slabs support on grade due to the measured swell potential and swell pressure of the
formational claystone materials. The following recommendations are appropriate for interior
floor slabs if the owner is willing to accept the risk of potential movement of interior floor slabs
supported on grade.
9.1 Interior Concrete Slab-on-Grade Floors
Due to the high swell potential of some of the claystone materials that underlie this project site,
interior floor slabs should be avoided if possible. Development of sites with walk-out style
basements typically utilize the basement floor concrete slab-on-grade to help resolve lateral loads
imposed on the basement walls. There are techniques, such as placement of grade beams below
a structurally supported floor system to help resolve these loads to allow for construction of a
crawl space or void below the lower level floor. The structural engineer should be contacted to
provide these recommendations, if they are feasible for the development of this site. If a floor
slab is chosen for the lower level floor it is imperative that interior walls are isolated from the
lower level floor slab so that movement of the slab associated with swelling soils does not cause
uplift of the interior walls and subsequently upper potions of the structure.
A primary goal in the design and construction of interior concrete slab-on-grade floors is to
reduce the amount of post construction uplift associated with swelling soils, or downward
movement due to consolidation of soft soils. A parallel goal is to reduce the potential for
damage to the structure associated with any movement of the slab-on-grade which may occur.
There are limited options available to help mitigate the influence of volume changes in the
support soil for concrete slab-on-grade floors, these include;
• Preconstruction scarification, moisture conditioning and re-compaction of the natural
soils in areas proposed for support of concrete flatwork, and/or,
• Placement and compaction of granular compacted structural fill material.
Damage associated with movement of interior concrete slab-on-grade floor can be reduced by
designing the floors as “floating” slabs. The concrete slabs should not be structurally tied to the
foundations or the overlying structure. Interior walls or columns should not be supported on the
interior floor slabs. Movement of interior walls or columns due to uplift of the floor slab can
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
30
cause severe damage throughout the structure. Interior walls may be structurally supported from
framing above the floor, or interior walls and support columns may be supported on interior
portions of the foundation system. Partition walls should be designed and constructed with voids
above, and/or below, to allow independent movement of the floor slab.
The only means to completely mitigate the influence of volume changes on the performance of
interior floors is to structurally support the floors. Floors that are suspended by the foundation
system will not be influenced by volume changes in the site soils. The suggestions and
recommendations presented below are intended to help reduce the influence of swelling soils on
the performance of the concrete slab-on-grade floors.
Interior concrete flatwork, or concrete slab-on-grade floors, should be underlain by a 1-foot
thick layer of compacted structural fill that is placed and compacted as discussed in the
Construction Considerations, “Fill Placement Recommendations” section of this report, below.
Capillary and vapor moisture rise through the slab support soil may provide a source for
moisture in the concrete slab-on-grade floor. This moisture may promote development of mold
or mildew in poorly ventilated areas and may influence the performance of floor coverings and
mastic placed directly on the floor slabs. The type of floor covering, adhesives used, and other
considerations that are not related to the geotechnical engineering practice will influence the
design. The architect, builder and particularly the floor covering/adhesive manufacturer should
be contacted regarding the appropriate level of protection required for their products.
Comments for Reduction of Capillary Rise
One option to stop capillary rise through the floor slab is to place a layer of clean aggregate
material, such as washed concrete aggregate for the upper 4 to 6 inches of fill material
supporting the concrete slabs.
Comments for Reduction of Vapor Rise
To reduce vapor rise through the floors slab a moisture barrier such as a 6 mil (or thicker)
plastic, or similar impervious geotextile material is often be placed below the floor slab. The
material used should be protected from punctures that will occur during the construction process.
There are proprietary barriers that are puncture resistant that may not need the underlying layer
of protective material. Some of these barriers are robust material that may be placed below the
compacted structural fill layer. We do not recommend placement of the concrete directly on a
moisture barrier unless the concrete contractor has had previous experience with curing of
concrete placed in this manner. As mentioned above, the architect, builder and particularly the
floor covering/adhesive manufacturer should be contacted regarding the appropriate level of
moisture and vapor protection required for their products.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
31
The project structural engineer should be contacted to provide steel reinforcement design
considerations for the proposed floor slabs. Any steel reinforcement placed in the slab should be
placed at the appropriate elevations to allow for proper interaction of the reinforcement with
tensile stresses in the slab. Reinforcement steel that is allowed to cure at the bottom of the slab
will not provide adequate reinforcement.
9.2 Exterior Concrete Flatwork Considerations
Exterior concrete flatwork includes concrete driveway slabs, aprons, patios, and walkways.
The desired performance of exterior flatwork typically varies depending on the proposed use of
the site and each owner’s individual expectations. As with interior flatwork, exterior flatwork is
particularly prone to movement and potential damage due to movement of the support soils.
This movement and associated damage may be reduced by following the recommendations
discussed under interior flatwork, above. Unlike interior flatwork, exterior flatwork may be
exposed to frost heave, particularly on sites with high silt-content soils. It may be prudent to
remove silt soils from exterior flatwork support areas where movement of exterior flatwork will
adversely affect the project, such as near the interface between the driveway and the interior
garage floor slab. If silt soils are encountered, they should be removed to the maximum depth of
frost penetration for the area where movement of exterior flatwork is undesirable.
If some movement of exterior flatwork is acceptable, we suggest that the support areas be
prepared by scarification, moisture conditioning and re-compaction of about 4 inches of the
natural soils followed by placement of about 4 to 6 inches of compacted granular fill material.
The scarified material and granular fill materials should be placed as discussed under the
Construction Considerations, “Fill Placement Recommendations” section of this report, below.
It is important that exterior flatwork be separated from exterior column supports, masonry
veneer, finishes and siding. No support columns, for the structure or exterior decks, should be
placed on exterior concrete unless movement of the columns will not adversely affect the
supported structural components. Movement of exterior flatwork may cause damage if it is in
contact with portions of the structure exterior.
Exterior flatwork should not be placed on soils prepared for support of landscaping vegetation.
Cultivated soils will not provide suitable support for concrete flatwork.
9.3 General Concrete Flatwork Comments
It is relatively common that both interior and exterior concrete flatwork is supported by areas of
fill adjacent to either shallow foundation walls or basement retaining walls. A typical sketch of
this condition is shown below.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
32
Settlement of the backfill shown above will create a void and lack of soil support for the
portions of the slab over the backfill. Settlement of the fill supporting the concrete flatwork is
likely to cause damage to the slab-on-grade. Settlement and associated damage to the concrete
flatwork may occur when the backfill is relatively deep, even if the backfill is compacted.
If this condition is likely to exist on this site it may be prudent to design the slab to be
structurally supported on the retaining or foundation wall and designed to span to areas away
from the backfill area as designed by the project structural engineer. We are available to discuss
this with you.
10.0 BASIC LEVEL SLOPE STABILITY ANALYSES
This section of the report provides a general slope stability analysis for the more extensive
proposed excavation cut slope surfaces associated with the project. Our stability modeling is
local to the proposed excavation cut slopes, and does not address other areas of the extensive
slope surfaces above the project site. The slope geometry analyzed is based on the current
preliminary project grading plans.
Our analyses do not include the influence of subsurface water within the slope mass, as
evidence of historic subsurface water within the slope surfaces surrounding the project site was
not observed. Measures should be taken to ensure that surface water cannot pond or collect on or
above the slope surfaces associated with the project. Accumulation of subsurface water within
slope surfaces will greatly reduce the stability of the slopes.

The cross section shown on Figure 10.1 below was used as a basis for the slope surface
geometry used in our analyses. The project preliminary grading plans developed by SET
Engineering was used for Figure 10.1, and used to establish the geometry of our slope stability
model. The geometry of the slope surface above the excavation cut slope contours shown on the
figure below was estimated.

There are numerous methods and techniques available for slope stability analysis. Most
methods include an evaluation of;
• the strength of the soil materials within the slope,
• anisotropies within the slope materials, such as formational material bedding planes, and
anomalous soil contacts,
• the subsurface water and soil moisture conditions, and,
• the pre-construction and post-construction geometry of the slope areas where
development and construction are proposed.
The data developed during the analysis is condensed and used to estimate the forces within a
soil mass that tend to drive movement and the forces that tend to resist movement. The ratio of
resisting forces to driving forces is often referred to as the “theoretical slope factor of safety”
(FOS) which is a somewhat misleading term to describe this ratio. The ratio is not a true factor
of safety, but is a useful mathematical characterization of the forces within a soil mass and the
associated stability condition of the slope being analyzed.
A ratio of less than 1.0 indicates that the driving forces within a soil mass are greater than the
resisting forces, therefore movement of the slope is occurring. A ratio of 1.0 indicates that the
driving forces are equal to the resisting forces, which indicates that movement within the slope
surfaces can be triggered by only slight increases in the driving forces or slight reductions in the
resisting forces. A ratio of greater than 1.0 is an indication that the driving forces are less than
the resisting forces and the slope is not moving. Since there are numerous variables and
incongruities within most soil masses, a slope is generally not considered as stable unless the
ratio is about 1.5 or greater. Generally, slopes or slope/structure combinations with a theoretical
factor of safety that is greater than 1.5 are considered appropriate for sites where structures are
planned.
We used SLIDE 7.0 slope stability software to evaluate the stability of computer modeled slope
cross sections of select portions of this site. We primarily used the Modified Bishop’s Method of
slices to analyze the computer modeled slopes. The Modified Bishop’s Method of Slices
evaluates the resisting and driving forces within slices of the sloped soil mass along a theoretical
semi-circular failure plane. The semicircular failure plane with the lowest theoretical factor of
safety is labeled the critical circle.
We have utilized two soil regions in the slope stability analyses presented below. The exact
geometry of the regions has been estimated.
• We have used an angle of internal friction (phi) of 32 degrees with no cohesional
properties for the shallow soil materials that overlie the formational claystone and
sandstone materials. This small sliver region is shown with the color yellow in the
analyses below.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
35
• The region shown with the color orange indicates the formational sandstone and
claystone materials, and comprises the majority of the slope surface. We have assumed
an undrained shear strength of about 10,000 pounds per square foot for the formational
sandstone and claystone materials. The assumed undrained shear strength is likely more
representative of the weaker claystone materials. The interbedded sandstone layers will
exhibit a much high undrained shear strength.
The analysis presented on Figure 10.2 below indicates the theoretical factor of safety for the
proposed 2:1, h:v excavation cut slope surfaces based on the geometr y modelled and
soil/formational material parameters used in our analysis. We obtained a factor of safety well
above 5.0.

slopes, FOS>5
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
36
The stability characteristics of the proposed excavation cut slope inclination may be regarded as
stable, primarily due to the fact that relatively high strength formational materials will comprise
the bulk of the excavation cut slope surface. Even though the factor of safety is high for the
proposed 2:1, h:v excavation cut slope we do not recommend constructing the project excavation
cut slopes steeper than 2:1, h:v if possible, as erosion of the cut slope surfaces will increase with
steeper cut slope surfaces. In addition, potential rockfall will gain increased velocity and
associated energy if rockfall occurs down steeper cut slope surfaces.
We anticipate that the toe area of the unreinforced excavation cut slopes will need to be
maintained periodically to clean debris from the toe area of the slopes. The development should
include an area between the structures and the toe of the slope surfaces that can be accessed with
excavation equipment to periodically remove accumulated debris.
Slope Stability Conclusions
We understand that at this time, conventional unreinforced excavation cut slope surfaces are
proposed for the project. The following discussion provides itemized
conclusions/recommendations based on our slope stability analyses and site observations
performed to date.
• We recommend that an inclination of 2:1; h:v (27 degrees) or flatter be established for
the proposed unreinforced excavation cut slopes associated with the project, primarily to
help minimize erosional and potential rockfall activity.
• Accumulation of debris from erosional activity will likely occur at the toe areas of the
unreinforced excavation cut slope surfaces. The project design should include access
areas for excavation equipment between the structures and toe areas of the slope
surfaces to remove accumulated debris.
• The ground surface topography above the excavation cut slope surfaces should be
observed for potential areas that are prone to drain water down towards the excavation
cut slope surfaces. If possible, drainage features such as a shallow brow ditch may be
constructed near the crest area above the slope surfaces to facilitate water flow away
from the project excavation cut slope surfaces. Surface water should not be allowed to
pond on or in areas above the excavation cut slope surfaces.
• We should be contacted to observe the slope excavations during construction to verify
that potential rockfall is minimized. It may be prudent to construct a small rockfall
barrier such as an earthen berm or short rock wall adjacent to the toe area of the slopes
to further reduce the potential for rockfall to influence the project site. We have not
performed a detailed rockfall study for the existing and extensive slope surfaces above
the project site. This report does not address these potential rockfall hazards. We are
available to perform a detailed rockfall study for the project at your request.

11.0 PAVEMENT SECTION THICKNESS DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS
We performed a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test on a composite sample of soil obtained
from the project site. Based on the results of the CBR test we used an estimated subgrade
resilient modulus MR of about 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
We recommend that the subgrade soils be proof-rolled prior to the scarification and processing
operations. Any soft areas observed during the proof-rolling operations should be removed and
replaced with properly processed materials and/or granular aggregate materials as part of the
subgrade preparation.
The site subgrade pavement section support soils must be scarified to a depth of 12 inches,
moisture conditioned and compacted prior to placement of the overlying aggregate pavement
section materials. The material should be moisture conditioned to within about 2 percent of the
optimum moisture content and compacted to at least ninety 90 percent of maximum dry density
as determined by the modified Proctor test, ASTM D1557. The surface of the subgrade soil
should be graded and contoured to be approximately parallel to the finished grade of the
pavement surface.
We recommend that the aggregate materials comply with the following specifications:
Percent Passing Each Sieve
1” Aggregate 3” Aggregate
Base Course Sub-Base-Course
Sieve Size
4” -- 100
3” -- 95-100

#200 3-12 3-15
Liquid Limit less than 30 less than 35
Plasticity Index Less than 6 Less than 9
Aggregate base-course and sub-base course locally available that do not meet the above
specifications may be suitable for this project. We are available to review other aggregate
gradations produced by local gravel producers to insure the suitability of the gravel products for
the project. The aggregate base course should have a minimum R-value of 72, and the aggregate
sub-base course should have a minimum R-Value of 65.
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
38
The existing aggregate materials that comprise the existing gravel surfaced parking area are
contaminated with clay/silt soils in some areas of the project, and exhibit moderate weed growth.
We do not recommend reusing the existing aggregate materials for the new asphalt pavement
section. As discussed in Section 7.0 above, the existing parking aggregate materials may be used
for retaining wall backfill materials associated with the structure or possibly structural fill to
support footings (if used to support the additional structure).
11.1 Asphalt Pavement Recommendations
We recommend that the asphalt concrete used on this project be mixed in accordance with a
design prepared by a licensed professional engineer, or an asphalt concrete specialist. We should
be contacted to review the mix design prior to placement at the project site. We recommend that
the asphalt concrete be compacted to between 92 and 96 percent of the maximum theoretical
density.
We have provided several pavement section design thicknesses below. The structural support
characteristics of each section are approximately equal. The project civil engineer, or contractor
can evaluate the best combination of materials for economic considerations.
We have provided pavement section thicknesses for both 50,000 (standard vehicle use section)
and 125,000 (heavy vehicle use section) - 18,000 pound equivalent single axle loads (18k
ESAL). We are available to provide additional design sections, if these are desired.

The pavement section thicknesses tabulated above are appropriate for the post-construction
traffic use associated with the project. Heavy construction equipment traffic will have a
significant influence on the quality, character, and design life of the pavement sections tabulated
above. If possible, we recommend that the asphalt pavement not be placed until completion of
the major construction activity. We are available to discuss this with you as the project
progresses.
11.2 Rigid Concrete Pavement Recommendations
We anticipate that rigid concrete pavement will likely be used for portions of the project
including exterior aprons, and possibly exterior driveway/parking areas. The following
recommendations are based on the American Concrete Institute (ACI) Guide for Design and
Construction of Concrete Parking Lots report 330R-01, strength characteristics (CBR-value) of
the native subgrade soils, and on our experience with concrete paved parking lots in the region.
A modulus of subgrade reaction of 100 pounds per cubic inch may be used for design purposes.
Our recommendations are as follows;
• For the proposed main parking area that will service light vehicular traffic only, a
minimum concrete mat thickness of 5 inches should be used. This section is valid for an
average daily truck (ADTT) of less than 10.
• For areas that will be exposed to heavy truck traffic on a regular basis a minimum
concrete mat thickness of 6 inches should be used.
The concrete mat should be supported by a minimum thickness of 8 inches of 1-inch minus
aggregate base course material that meets the specifications tabulated in section 11.0 above. We
are available to review aggregate gradations produced by local gravel producers to insure the
suitability of the gravel products for the project. The aggregate materials should be compacted to
at least 95 percent of maximum dry density as defined by AASHTO T-180 or ASTM D 1557,
Modified Proctor test. The upper 12 inches of subgrade support soils should be scarified and
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
40
compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density as defined by AASHTO T-180 or
ASTM D1557, Modified Proctor test prior to placement of the aggregate base course.
A concrete with a minimum 28-day compressive strength of 4,500 pounds per square inch (psi)
should be used. Joint spacing should not exceed 12½ feet for a slab thickness of 5 inches and
should not exceed 15 feet for a slab thickness of 6 inches. The recommendations for minimum
concrete strength presented here are based on the ACI recommendations. The site specific
structural engineering design recommendations should take precedent over those listed in this
report. The project structural engineer should be contacted for steel reinforcement design. We
are available to discuss our recommendations with the project structural engineer as needed.
11.3 General Parking Area Considerations
Water intrusion into the pavement section support materials will negatively influence the
performance of the parking lot surface. Water from irrigation, water from natural sources that
migrates into the soils beneath landscapes surface and water from any source that gains access to
the support materials can all decrease the life of the parking lot surface. Care should be taken
along curbs and any edge of the parking lot to develop an interface between the material that will
reduce subsurface and surface water migration into the support soil and pavement section
materials. Landscape islands and other irrigated features often promote water migration since
no surface flow from these features typically occurs. The same can occur along perimeter curb
areas.
Water will often migrate along the interface of concrete curbs and gutter and underlying support
materials areas early in the life of any parking area. The tendency for this type of migration
often decreases with time, but can be reduced by compaction of materials along the outside base
of curb areas, adjacent to the interface of the concrete curb and the underlying soil prior to
placement of landscaping materials.
12.0 CONSTRUCTION CONSIDERATIONS
This section of the report provides comments, considerations and recommendations for aspects
of the site construction which may influence, or be influenced by the geotechnical engineering
considerations discussed above. The information presented below is not intended to discuss all
aspects of the site construction conditions and considerations that may be encountered as the
project progresses. If any questions arise as a result of our recommendations presented above, or
if unexpected subsurface conditions are encountered during construction we should be contacted
immediately.

12.1 Fill Placement Recommendations
There are several references throughout this report regarding both natural soil and compacted
structural fill recommendations. The recommendations presented below are appropriate for the
fill placement considerations discussed throughout the report above.
All areas to receive fill, structural components, or other site improvements should be properly
prepared and grubbed at the initiation of the project construction. The grubbing operations
should include scarification and removal of organic material and soil. No fill material or
concrete should be placed in areas where existing vegetation or fill material exist.
We suspect that man-placed fill and subterranean structures may be encountered as the project
construction progresses. All existing fill material should be removed from areas planned for
support of structural components. Excavated areas and subterranean voids should be backfilled
with properly compacted fill material as discussed below.
12.1.1 Natural Soil Fill
Any natural soil used for any fill purpose should be free of all deleterious material, such as
organic material and construction debris. Natural soil fill includes excavated and replaced
material or in-place scarified material.
Due to the expansive characteristics of the natural soil we do not recommend that it be used as
fill material for direct support of structural components. The natural soils may be used to
establish general site elevation.
The natural soils should be moisture conditioned, either by addition of water to dry soils, or by
processing to allow drying of wet soils. The proposed fill materials should be moisture
conditioned to between about optimum and about 2 percent above optimum soil moisture
content. This moisture content can be estimated in the field by squeezing a sample of the soil in
the palm of the hand. If the material easily makes a cast of soil which remains in-tact, and a
minor amount of surface moisture develops on the cast, the material is close to the desired
moisture content. Material testing during construction is the best means to assess the soil
moisture content.
Moisture conditioning of clay or silt soils may require many hours of processing. If possible,
water should be added and thoroughly mixed into fine grained soil such as clay or silt the day
prior to use of the material. This technique will allow for development of a more uniform
moisture content and will allow for better compaction of the moisture conditioned materials.
The moisture conditioned soil should be placed in lifts that do not exceed the capabilities of the
compaction equipment used and compacted to at least 90 percent of maximum dry density as
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
42
defined by ASTM D1557, modified Proctor test. We typically recommend a maximum fill lift
thickness of 6 inches for hand operated equipment and 8 to 10 inches for larger equipment. Care
should be exercised in placement of utility trench backfill so that the compaction operations do
not damage the underlying utilities. The maximum rock size for new fill materials should be less
than 3 inches.
12.1.2 Granular Compacted Structural Fill
Granular compacted structural fill is referenced in numerous locations throughout the text of
this report. Granular compacted structural fill should be constructed using an imported
commercially produced rock product such as aggregate road base. Many products other than
road base, such as clean aggregate or select crusher fines may be suitable, depending on the
intended use. If a specification is needed by the design professional for development of project
specifications, a material conforming to the gradation presented below may be used.

All compacted structural fill should be moisture conditioned and compacted to at least 90
percent of maximum dry density as defined by ASTM D1557, modified Proctor test. Areas
where the structural fill will support traffic loads under concrete slabs or asphalt concrete should
be compacted to at least 95 percent of maximum dry density as defined by ASTM D1557,
modified Proctor test.
12.2 Excavation Considerations
Unless a specific classification is performed, the site soils should be considered as an
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Type C soil and should be sloped
and/or benched according to the current OSHA regulations. Excavations should be sloped and
benched to prevent wall collapse. Any soil can release suddenly and cave unexpectedly from
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
43
excavation walls, particularly if the soils is very moist, or if fractures within the soil are present.
Daily observations of the excavations should be conducted by OSHA competent site personnel to
assess safety considerations.
We encountered very h ard formational materials in our test borings. We must be contacted if
blasting is proposed for removal/excavation of the formational materials.
If possible excavations should be constructed to allow for water flow from the excavation the
event of precipitation during construction. If this is not possible it may be necessary to remove
water from snowmelt or precipitation from the foundation excavations to help reduce the
influence of this water on the soil support conditions and the site construction characteristics.
12.2.1 Excavation Cut Slopes
We anticipate that some permanent excavation cut slopes may be included in the site
development. Temporary cut slopes should not exceed about 12 feet in height and should not be
steeper than 1:1, horizontal to vertical. Permanent cut slopes of greater than 5 feet or steeper
than 2:1, h:v must be analyzed on a site specific basis.
Particular attention must be used during the excavation process of excavation cut slopes to
remove rocks that could potentially become dislodged and cause a rock fall hazard.
We did not observe evidence of existing unstable slope areas influencing the site, but due to the
steepness and extent of the slopes in the area we suggest that the magnitude of the proposed
excavation slopes be minimized and/or supported by retaining structures.
12.3 Utility Considerations
Subsurface utility trenches will be constructed as part of the site development. Utility line
backfill often becomes a conduit for post construction water migration. If utility line trenches
approach the proposed project site from above, water migrating along the utility line and/or
backfill may have direct access to the portions of the proposed structure where the utility line
penetrations are made through the foundation system. The foundation soils in the vicinity of the
utility line penetration may be influenced by t he additional subsurface water. There are a few
options to help mitigate water migration along utility line backfill. Backfill bulkheads
constructed with high clay content soils and/or placement of subsurface drains to promote utility
line water discharge away from the foundation support soil.
Some movement of all structural components is normal and expected. The amount of
movement may be greater on sites with problematic soil conditions. Utility line penetrations
through any walls or floor slabs should be sleeved so that movement of the walls or slabs does
not induce movement or stress in the utility line. Utility connections should be flexible to allow
PN: 55530GE
January 29, 2019
44
for some movement of the floor slab.
12.4 Exterior Grading/Drainage Comments and General Landscape Comments
The ground surface adjacent to the structure should be sloped to promote water flow away from
the foundation system and flatwork. Snow storage areas should not be located in areas which
will allow for snowmelt water access to support soils for the foundation system or flatwork.
Water flow from the roof of the structure should be captured and directed away from the
structure. If the roof water is collected in an eave gutter system, or similar, the discharge points
of the system must be located away from areas where the water will have access to the
foundation backfill or any structure support soils. If downspouts are used, provisions should be
made to either collect or direct the water away from the structure.
The project civil engineering consultant or builder should develop a drainage scheme for the
site. We typically suggest a minimum fall of about 8 to 10 percent away from the structure, in the
absence of design criteria from others. Care should be taken to not direct water onto adjacent
property or to areas that would negatively influence existing structures or improvements.
We recommend against construction of landscaping which requires excessive irrigation. Excess
water from landscaped areas near the structure can migrate to the foundation system or flatwork
support soils, which can result in volume changes in these soils.
12.5 Shallow Drain System
A relatively common concept used to collect and subsequently reduce the potential for surface
water to access structure backfill materials is to glue or attach an impermeable geotextile fabric
or heavy mill plastic to the foundation wall and extend it below the upper soil backfill materials.
A thin layer of sand can be placed on top of the geotextile material to both protect the geotextile
from punctures and to serve as a medium to promote water migration to the collection trench and
perforated pipe. The project civil engineer should be contacted for additional information
regarding specific construction considerations for this concept which is shown in the sketch
below.
A free draining aggregate or sand should be placed in the collection trench around the
perforated pipe. The perforated pipe should be graded to allow for positive flow of excess water
away from the structure or other area where additional subsurface water is undesired. Preferably
the geotextile material should extend at least 10 or more feet from the foundation system, and
should extend beyond the limits of the foundation excavation if possible.

12.6 Soil Sulfate Content, Corrosion Issues
The requested scope of our services did not include assessment of the chemical constituents of
corrosion potential of the site soils. Most soils in southwest Colorado are not typically corrosive
to concrete. There has not been a history of damage to concrete due to sulfate corrosion in the
area.
We are available to perform soluble sulfate content tests to assess the corrosion potential of the
soils on concrete if desired.
12.7 Radon Issues
The requested scope of service of this report did not include assessment of the site soils for
radon production. Many soils and formational materials in western Colorado produce Radon
gas. The structure should be appropriately ventilated to reduce the accumulation of Radon gas in
the structure. Several Federal Government agencies including the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) have information and guidelines available for Radon considerations and home
construction. If a radon survey of the site soils is desired, please contact us.
13.0 CONSTRUCTION MONITORING AND TESTING
Construction monitoring including engineering observations and materials testing during
construction is a critical aspect of the geotechnical engineering contribution to any project.
Unexpected subsurface conditions are often encountered during construction. The site foundation
excavation should be observed by the geotechnical engineer or a representative during the early
stages of the site construction to verify that the actual subsurface soil and water conditions were
properly characterized as part of field exploration, laboratory testing and engineering analysis. If
the subsurface conditions encountered during construction are different than those that were the
basis of the geotechnical engineering report then modifications to the design may be
implemented prior to placement of fill materials or foundation concrete.
Compaction testing of fill material should be performed throughout the project construction so
that the engineer and contractor may monitor the quality of the fill placement techniques being
used at the site. We recommend that compaction testing be performed for any fill material that is
placed as part of the site development. Compaction tests should be performed on each lift of
material placed in areas proposed for support of structural components. In addition to
compaction testing we recommend that the grain size distribution, clay content and swell
potential be evaluated for any imported materials that are planned for use on the site. Concrete
tests should be performed on foundation concrete and flatwork. We are also available to provide
testing for asphalt pavement materials. We are available to develop a testing program for soil,
aggregate materials, concrete and asphaltic concrete for this project.

CITY OF MOAB, UTAH

SET Engineering
Moab Tramway – Preliminary Traffic Analysis
Set Engineering, LLC
Introduction
The purpose of this preliminary traffic analysis is to assess proposed development of Moab Tram site from a
traffic circulation and safety standpoint, as required by the City of Moab Site Plan Application process. All
potential developments and impacted intersections are within City of Moab limits. The site will be accessed
using the existing entrance to the Moab Tram site from US Hwy 191, As part of this study, traffic was analyzed
in terms of projected level of service at the AM and PM peak hour traffic volume. The study assesses projected
traffic loading (Full Build-out Traffic) based on the proposed development of the Moab Tram project. Projected
traffic was calculated using the Institute of Traffic Engineer’s Trips Generation Manual, 8th Ed. (ITE Manual).
Background
The Moab Tram site is located on the eastern side of US Hwy 191 just south of the pass-over bridge that crosses
Colorado River and Lion’s Park. The project site is broken up in to two lots: Lot 2 includes an existing tram
facility, which will remain in operation, and proposed development of retail space (ITE Land Use Code#876
and #879) and restaurant space (ITE Land Use Code#931). Lot 1 will be developed in the future and is not
included in this analysis. Figure 1 shows a site map.
Figure 1: A site map of the Moab Tram site is shown. Lot 1, analyzed in this study, is approximately 14.59 ± acres.
US Hwy 191 adjacent the site is an Access Category 7 (Community Rural) as defined by UDOT and is posted at
45 MPH speed limit. The project is located approximately 2.5 miles south of the City center and is in a
developing/urbanizing part of the City. Currently US Hwy 191. is striped for two through lanes and a shared
center turn lane along the project frontage. The pavement along the property frontage is approximately 60’ ±
Moab Tramway – Preliminary Traffic Analysis
Set Engineering, LLC
wide. The US Hwy 191 widening project will extend through this project site. Improvements adjacent to the
project generally include two through lanes in each direction and a center turn lane.
Currently, the Moab Tram site provides access to the existing Tram facility. The site access only serves the Tram
site no through traffic is planned.
Proposed Access Improvement Information
The improved access location for the project site is from US Hwy 191 using the existing entrance to the Moab
Tram site. The existing Moab Tram entrance drive is over 50’ in width at the throat and tapers to a min. of 40’
wide (from curb line to curb line) to provide one 16’ ingress lane and two 12’ egress lanes. The entrance apron
provides approximately 75’ of stacking for turning vehicles. The existing geometry of the entrance will not be
modified.
The spacing along US Hwy 191 and between the proposed Moab Tram access improvement and the nearest
intersecting access to the north, State Hwy 128, is approximately 835’ ± CL to CL. Across US Hwy 191 from the
Moab Tram access, a frontage road intersects the highway. To the south, the closest cross street is that same
frontage road on the opposite side of US Hwy 191 at approximately 1700’ ± from the Moab Tram CL.
Parking
The project will provide 76 off-street parking spaces meeting City of Moab parking requirements. 60 spaces
will be provided on the Lot 2 Tram site while 16 spaces will be located on the Lot 1 parcel of the property
through an access easement. The following table was developed using City of Moab Parking Code criteria and
proposed development to clearly display project parking requirements.

Moab Tramway – Preliminary Traffic Analysis
Set Engineering, LLC
Full Build-out Traffic
Using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Manual, 8th Edition, trip generation rates were calculated
based on specified land uses. As stated previously, 7.5 thousand square feet of the site will be developed as
retail space (ITE Land Use Code#876 and #879), and 2.5 thousand square feet will be developed as restaurant
space (ITE Land Use Code#931). The existing tram facility will remain in operation (ITE Land Use Code #466
– Ski Lift). This land use information was input into the ITE Trip Generation Manual’s rates worksheet, and
projected AM and PM peak hour traffic generation counts from this development were calculated, as shown in
Table 1 (Institute of Traffic Engineers, 2017).
Table 1: Total Tram project site trip generation calculations were calculated daily factors as well as
AM and PM peak hours. Entering/exiting traffic distributions were calculated based on ITE rates as
well. Orange cells represent projected turning movements in to Moab Tram, whereas blue cells
represent projected turning movements out of Moab Tram.
The proportion of cars making certain turning movements into or out of the Moab Tram site in the Full Build-
out peak hour data set was calculated and is shown in Table 2. These distributions are estimates based on the
project location in relation to the city center of Moab. In this case, 30% of vehicles are estimated to travel
to/from the north (towards Canyonlands and Arches National Parks), whereas 70% are estimated to travel
to/from the south (towards the city center).
Table 2: Right-turn out is north-bound (NB), left-turn out is south-bound (SB), right-turn in is north-bound (NB),
and left-turn in is south-bound (SB). Orange cells represent projected turning movements in to the Moab Tram
site, whereas blue cells represent projected turning movements out of the Moab Tram site.
The directional split data from Table 2 were assigned to the projected traffic generation distributions. These
resulting data, shown in Table 3, show total traffic generation after full build-out of the improvements to the
Moab Tram project.

Table 3: Total projected trips during AM and PM peak hours were calculated to inform turning and storage lane
warrants per UDOT Access Code. Orange cells represent projected turning movements in to the Moab Tram site,
whereas blue cells represent projected turning movements out of the Moab Tram site.
Turn Lane Warrants
Based on Section 7 – Design Requirements, of Utah rule R930-6, auxiliary lane requirements for an Access
Category 4, no widening of US Highway 191 was warranted in its existing or proposed condition (US Hwy 191
widening project. The data is summarized in Table 4.
Table 4: Warrants for a left turn lane with storage and a right turn lane (acceleration and deceleration) were
analyzed with projected AM and PM peak hour traffic loading scenarios at the US Highway 191 and the Moab
Tram site entrance.
SET Engineering met with UDOT staff as part of the Access Permit Application process. SET and UDOT did
discuss the possibility of using the center turn lane as a shared turn lane rather than a dedicated left turn
lane south of the Moab Tram entrance.
Conclusion
The analysis determined that US Highway 191 will not need to be widened to accommodate a left-turn
acceleration lane in order to provide reasonable access to and from the Moab Tram development. However,
SET Engineering is coordinating with UDOT to finalize the striping plan along the project frontage. In our
opinion, a shared center turn lane south of the project, in lieu of the dedicated left turn lane serving the
frontage road could benefit the Moab Tram project and provide a safer facility for US Hwy 191 and Moab
Tram users.

The projected turn movements at the intersection are shown schematically in Appendix A. The re-striping
plan of this section of US Highway 191 proposed by UDOT, shown in Appendix B, will provide reasonable
access to and from the Moab Tram site (I.e. the triggered left-turn acceleration lane will be accommodated
by a two-way left-turn lane along US Hwy 191).

and
c. The property is in the RC Resort Commercial Zone and the proposed uses are allowed as

e. The proposed lots satisfy the dimensional requirements of the RC Zone; and
f. The Moab Planning Commission reviewed the application for the Moab Tramway Minor
Subdivision in a regularly scheduled meeting held on July 25, 2019, to review the application and

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date:
August 13, 2019
Title: Consideration and Possible Approval of the HooDoo Village Three Lot
Minor Subdivision on Property Located at 201 Walnut Lane.
Staff Presenter: Nora Shepard, Planning Director
Attachment(s):
Attachment 1: Application
Attachment 2: Draft Plat
Options:
1. Approve the Minor Subdivision Plat with or without
revisions
2. Continue action on the item and give specific
direction to the applicant and staff as to additional
information needed.
3. Deny the Minor Subdivision
Applicant: Amy Weiser for Moab Development Trust –
Business Resolutions, LLC
Recommended Motion: I move to approve the HooDoo Village Minor Subdivision,
subject to the following conditions:
1. All engineering comments shall be addressed to the satisfaction of the
City Engineer prior to review by City Council.
2. Site Plan Review and approval is required prior to site development for
either newly created lot.
Background:
On June 12, 2019, a complete application was submitted for the HooDoo Village
Subdivision. The application was reviewed by the Development Review Team (DRT)
and comments sent to the applicant.
Project Summary:
This subdivision plat splits 1 parcel into 3 parcels, Lot 1 for the existing apartments, Lot
2 for the proposed second apartment building and Lot 3 for future development.
This subdivision simply creates the larger parcels for the different types of development
in the HooDoo. A plat such as this would allow each parcel to be sold and developed by
different owners. The approvals for the HooDoo Hotel and Village remain in place and
will apply to any new owners.
There are some engineering and utility issues related to the development of lots 2 and
3. Those issues will be addressed at the time of Site Plan review and approval.
Process:
Because this is a minor subdivision, no public hearing is required. MMC Section
16.08.020 allows for exceptions to the final plat hearing process for minor subdivisions of
five lots or less. These applications must be reviewed by the Planning Commission and
referred to Council with a recommendation, as noted below.
“MMC Section 16.08.020, Exceptions--Final plat, discusses the process and required
documents
In subdivisions of less than five lots, land may be sold after recording of a plat, if all the
following conditions are met:
A. The subdivision plan shall have been approved by the planning commission,
the planning coordinator, the city engineer, the city attorney, other agencies the
zoning administrator deems necessary, and the city council;
B. The subdivision is not traversed by lines of a proposed street, and does
not require the dedication of any land for street or other purposes;
C. Each lot within the subdivision meets the frontage width and area requirements
of the zoning title or has been granted a variance from such requirements by the
appeal authority;
D. All final plat requirements shall be complied with;
E. All provisions of Chapter 16.20 of this title shall be complied with; and
F. The water supply and sewage disposal shall have been approved by the
utility supervisor.

Narrative — HooDoo Village Subdivision
The HooDoo Hotel is nearing completion and the owners are moving forward with phase two of the
project. Phase 2 will consist of thirteen (13) casitas on the same lot as the hotel and an additional 24-unit
HooDoo Employee housing apartment building on its own lot. The owners are ready to submit the site
plan application for the new 24-unit employee housing apartment, called HooDoo Village East.
In order to secure financing for the additional employee housing building the owners need to get the
minor subdivision completed. The result of the subdivision will be three (3) lots.
Lot 1 — Existing 18-unit HooDoo Village Employee Housing
Lot 2 — Future 24-unit HooDoo Village East Employee Housing
Lot 3 — HooDoo Hotel and future Casitas
The ownership structure will remain the same; but for financing purposes the apartment buildings need
to be on their own lots. The HooDoo Village apartments is in the process of turning over units to new
HooDoo hotel employees and it is such a benefit in the hiring process to be able to provide affordable
housing in close proximity to the hotel. The owners are looking forward to starting construction of the
second employee housing apartment.

Moab City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: July 11, 2017
Title: Ordinance 2019-22: Authorizing the City to require a traffic control plan
and authorizing the City to recover its costs for traffic control associated with
events, construction activities, or other activities affecting public rights-of-
way.
Disposition: Discussion and possible action
Staff Presenter: Chuck Williams, City Engineer
Attachment(s):
-Attachment 1: Ordinance No. 2019-22
Recommended Motion:
I move to adopt the “Ordinance 2019-22 authorizing the City to require a
traffic control plan and authorizing the City to recover its costs for traffic
control associated with events, construction activities, or other activities
affecting public rights-of-way.”
Background/Summary:
There has been an increase in activities that are likely to impact public rights-
of-way, such as large construction projects and public events. These activities
can have a significant impact to the flow of traffic or may affect the safety of
other road users, including drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians . In these cases, it
may be necessary to develop and implement a Traffic Control Plan (TCP),
which can involve but is not limited to: changing road signage, striping, speed
limits, or parking conditions. The City has a compelling public interest to
assure safety for all people travelling within its rights-of-way, and to prevent
dangerous conditions from affecting them. Pursuant to U.C.A. § 10-8-11 and §
10-8-69 municipalities have the authority to regulate activities that affect
public streets. This ordinance creates a mechanism by which a TCP may be
developed and its requirements enforced, and makes the responsible party or
parties liable for costs. If passed, it may be used in the near future for
changing road signing and striping to accommodate impactful activities. Staff
recommends approval to Council of the Ordinanc e.

CITY OF MOAB ORDINANCE NO. 2019-22
An ordinance authorizing the City to require a traffic control plan and authorizing the
City to recover its costs for traffic control associated with events, construction activities, or
other activities affecting public rights-of-way
The following describe the intent and purpose of this ordinance:
a.The City has seen an increase in activities that are likely to impact public rights-of-way.
As construction and public events have increased, so too have traffic impacts.
b.The City has a compelling public interest to assure pedestrian, bicyclist, and motorist
safety, and to prevent dangerous conditions from affecting public rights-of-way.
c.Pursuant to U.C.A. § 10-8-11 and § 10-8-69 municipalities have the authority to regulate
activities that affect public streets.
d.The City finds that this ordinance is necessary to prevent traffic hazards and threats to
public safety.
THEREFORE, the Moab Municipal Code is amended with the adoption of the following new
section.
10.04.260 Traffic Control Plan, Cost Reimbursement.
A.As used in this section, a responsible person means a property owner,
contractor, developer, event sponsor, or other person engaging in activity that is likely to
impact public rights-of-way or likely to cause pedestrian, bicycle, or motor vehicle safety
problems.
B.If, in the judgment of the City, construction activities, events, or other activities
are likely to generate significant impacts on traffic, public safety, or public rights-of-way the City
may require that responsible persons submit a Traffic Control Plan (TCP), or City staff may
generate its own TCP. If applicable, a TCP may be combined with an encroachment or
excavation permit, as authorized by MMC 13.08.090, special event permits under MMC Title 4,
or with other permits issued by the City.
C.TCP requirements may include, but are not limited to: flaggers; signage; parking
restrictions; barricades; striping; altered speed limits; one-way streets; traffic signals; lighting;
limitations upon access or turning movements; limitations on the timing of activities; or such
other measures or requirements as may reasonably address the impacts of any activity within
or adjacent to public rights-of-way.
2
D. The City Engineer may review, modify, or approve a TCP as dictated by the
circumstances. An approved TCP shall be in writing and issued to the responsible person. Once
approved, responsible persons performing activities within or adjacent to public rights-of-way
shall comply with all requirements of the TCP.
E.Responsible persons performing activities within or adjacent to public rights-of-
way shall procure and continuously maintain those traffic control measures mandated by the
TCP. If a responsible person subject to a TCP should fail or refuse to comply with its terms the
City, in addition to all other remedies provided in this Chapter, may: i) elect to implement traffic
control measures and the responsible person(s) shall be liable to reimburse the City for all such
implementation costs; and/or ii) if applicable, issue notice and revoke other permits (e.g.
building permits, special event permits, or the like) associated with the activity. Prior to
invoking such remedies the City shall deliver written notice to the responsible person(s)
identifying the violation(s) and allowing that party a reasonable period of time of not less than
five (5) days in which to cure or abate the problem. No written notice or cure period is required
in the case of conditions that present an immediate risk to public health or safety.
F.In addition to, or in lieu of other remedies under this Chapter, the City may
maintain a civil action against all responsible persons to recover all of its actual costs associated
with implementing or assuring compliance with a TCP. In any civil action the City shall be
entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and court costs in addition to monetary or other
relief.
This ordinance was approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the City Council. This
ordinance will take effect immediately upon passage.
