Lawson & Associates Geotechnical Consulting, Inc. <br />August 29, 2007 <br />Mr. Ryan Bean <br />Urban West <br />936 E. Santa Ana Blvd. <br />Santa Ana, California 92701 <br />Project No. 071104-O1 <br />Subject: Proposal for Geology Analysis, Proposed West End Lofts Development, 320 West Fourth <br />Street, Santa Ana, California <br />Introduction <br />In accordance with your request, Lawson & Associates Geotechnical Consulting, Inc. (LGC) has prepared <br />this proposal to perform an analysis of the site geologic and geotechnical conditions for the proposed West <br />End Lofts development to be located at 320 West Fourth Street in Santa Ana, Califomia. We understand that <br />the proposed development will ultimately include construction of aone-story, at street-level gallery/retail <br />space, with five stories of residential units above and one-story of subterranean parking below. <br />In order to ascertain the suitability of the site for the proposed development, we propose to review available <br />geotechnical and geologic data for the site and to perform a site reconnaissance visit. Our findings and <br />conclusions will be summarized in a brief report formatted to serve as the geology/soils chapter of the project <br />Environmental Impact Report (EIR). Our report will highlight the potential geotechnical constraints and <br />advantages of the site for the proposed development. <br />Scone of Geotechnical Services <br />We propose to conduct a geotechnical literature review and reconnaissance site visit to provide a cursory <br />evaluation of the geotechnical characteristics of the site and to identify readily apparent geotechnical <br />constraints and advantages to the proposed development. <br />The following is a list of our proposed services: <br />Review readily available published geotechnical reports and maps pertinent to the site. <br />• Site reconnaissance visit. <br />Based on the information obtained from our study, we will prepare awrite-up for the geology/soils <br />chapter of the project EIR. This text will discuss the feasibility of development of the site with, respect to <br />the onsite geotechnical conditions. The text will address anticipated geotechnical constraints and <br />advantages associated with development of the site, including provisional conclusions with regard to the <br />geotechnical impact on the proposed development and provisional recommendations for appropriate <br />mitigation measures. Specifically, the text will include a discussion of the following: <br />1319 Calle Avanzado .San Clemente . CA 92673-6351 • (949) 369.6141 . Fax (949) 369-6142 <br />'`EXH6~' I . ~, <br />
