JT:
Pursuant to your request, we have prepared this letter to address the concerns of the local building department for the above
referenced community in regard to design soil bearing capacity. It is our understanding that the city has noted that our structural plans
specify a minimum 2000 PSF soil bearing capacity, and the city has requested that soil testing is to be submitted to ensure conformance
to the specifications. As you have relayed to us, all lots in the community were excavated and then backfilled and compacted (Cut and
Filled) with controlled engineered fill. A third party geotechnical engineering firm, Universal Engineering Sciences, was tasked with
conducting soil tests on several lots within the above referenced community to determine the soil bearing capacity. Please note, Mulhem
+ Kulp has not visited the site, but information was provided for our review.
The third party lot soils reports referenced above have indicated that the soils meet the 2000 PSF soil bearnq capacity specified on
our structural plans. It is our professional engineerng judgement that all lots designed by
Mulhem + Kulp in the community of
Lakewood Park, FL adequately meet the 2000 PSF soil bearing capacity, provided that the sites have been prepared similarly to that
of the lots listed above.
Please feel free to call if you have any questions.
G.
