Please find attached a letter from T.I.N. Engineering Company, the geotechnical engineer on the above referenced project. We are proposing to mix the drier footing soil, approximately 250 yards. from # 14 Outrider with the moist soil at # 0 Buggy Whip Drive. The mixing of the two (2) soils will provide a suitable moisture content which should be between 26% and 34% In lieu of the present 41%. The soil is only being placed at the over excavated area under the proposed slab at # 0 Buggy Whip Drive. The finish floor elevations will remain the same. 27,sK n thony Infel21- Architect 4918 CAMERINO ST. LAKEWOOD, CA 90712 ST.

The existing on -site piled fill soil was generated from over -excavation at the subject site. This ill soil consisted of a silty clay and abundant bedrock fragments with high moisture content. Moisture content of the clayey soil was approximately 41% high (suitable moisture content should be between /6 to 34%) after drying for one week, The on -she wet soli may take additional 3 to 4 weeks to dry emcees moisture out. Over -excavation, approximately ti to 6 feet deep, was perforated in the slab area bf the proposed residential building. Once rain comes, this over -excavation area will be filled with water and the fill grading will almost be impossible to pruperly complete within months. In additional, ante the wet soll soaked with additional water, the wet soil will need more time to dry excess moisture out. Therefbre, It Is practical to import drier soil from outside to mis with the on -site wet sail in order to obtain the fill material with an adequate moisture content to complete the fill grading at the subject site. It is our understanding that this import is intern to complete the an grading. It is not intent to increase tbotage of the proposed residential building. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. Wyatt have any questions regarding this letter, please contact the undersigned at the letterhead location. • No. 44045 Eap, ?

The grandson had gone to sleep with a candle burning on the table. When he awoke to the fire he went and awoke his grandparents. There was a delay due to the occupants trying to extinguish the fire with garden hoses before calling 911. The other contributing factor was they had left numerous doors open in their attempts causing the fire to spread to the entry area and living room. There were no reported injuries to.fire fighters or civilians.
