(Petra) during rough-grading operations for Park A (Lot 104) within Tract 23143-F located in the City of Temecula, California. Park A is located on the northeastern margin of the Crowne Hill Development. Conclusions and recommendations pertaining to the suitability of the grading for the proposed park are provided herein, as well as foundation design-recommendations based on the as-graded soil conditions. The purpose ofthis phase ofrough grading was to develop a relatively level park site and to prepare the park site for the construction of the proposed facilities and sidewalks. The proposed park facilities will consist of a parking lot, tot lots, restrooms, open space and sidewalks. Grading was performed from July through September 2002. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE The removal and recompaction oflow-density surface soils, processing of the exposed bottom surfaces and placement of compacted fill under the purview of this report have been completed under the observation of and with selective testing by Petra. Earthwork and grading were performed in accordance with Petra's recommendations \ PETRA GEOTECHNICAL, INC. 41640 Corning Place . Suite 107 . Murrieta . CA 92562 . Tel: (909) 600-9271 .

The completed earthwork has been reviewed and is considered adequate for the construction now planned. Because of the limited removal of the alluvium in the southern portion of Lot 104, this area is deemed to be a "Restricted-Use" area. As such, it is suitable as a landscape area because of the potential for long-term subsidence attributed to consolidation ofthe underlying alluvium. On the basis of our observations during rough grading and field and laboratory testing, the recommendations presented in this report were prepared in conformance with generally accepted professional engineering practices and no further warranty is implied nor made. ENGINEERING GEOLOGY General Geologic conditions exposed during the process of grading were frequently-observed and mapped by Petra's geologic staff. Geologic Units Earth materials within the site include topsoil, alluvium, and Pauba Formation sandstone. The topsoil mantle at the site consisted of medium brown to dark brown silty sand, sandy silt or clayey silt and was generally loose and soft. ( Recent alluvium onsite consisted oflight brown to dark brown silty sand, clayey sand or well-graded sands. These materials were generally dry to moist and firm (medium dense) to stiff (dense). Quaternary Pauba Formation bedrock underlies the alluvium at the park site and consisted of grey to yellow brown massively bedded clayey r... ~ ~ I I ! I il I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13,2002 J.N.241-01 Page 3 sandstone and silty sandstone. Pauba Formation bedrock was exposed beneath the western and eastern edges of the park site. Groundwater No groundwater was encountered during rough-grading operations. Faulting No faults were encountered during grading operations on the site. SUMMARY OF EARTHWORK OBSERVATIONS AND DENSITY TESTING Clearing and Grubbing Prior to grading, all weeds, grasses, brush and shrubs were removed from the site. Clearing operations included the removal of all trash, debris and similar unsuitable material. Ground Preparation Remedial grading for Park A within the non-structural landscape areas involved removal of low-density topsoils and alluvium to a maximum depth of 10 feet below the original ground surface. Remedial grading beneath the parking-lot area of the park site, the restroom area and structural areas within Park A were accomplished to maximum depths of approximately 10 feet below the original ground surface. The base of the overexcavations in these areas exposed Pauba Formation bedrock or dense alluvial soils. ~ ~ I II I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 4 Fill Slopes Fill slopes adjacent Pauba Road, Lot 10 (Tract 26941) and the drainage embankment located on the north, east and south perimeter were constructed at a 2: 1 (horizontal:vertical [h:v)) slope ratio to a maximum height of 20 feet. The south- facing descending fill slope, which forms the southern limit of Lot 104, was constructed to a maximum height of20 feet at a slope ration of3:1 (h:v). This slope transitions to a 2: 1 (h:v) slope ration in the vicinity ofYia del Monte along the eastern project boundary where it attains a maximum height of approximately 10 feet. Cut Slopes Cut slopes were constructed along the western and eastern boundaries of the park site at a 2:1 (h:v) slope ratio attaining a maximum height of 15 feet. Fill Placement and Testing Fill materials placed on the park site consisted of onsite-derived soils. All fills were placed in lifts restricted to approximately 6 to 8 inches in maximum thickness, watered or air-dried as necessary to achieve a moisture content equal to or slightly above or under optimum moisture content. Fill materials were then compacted in-place to a minimum relative compaction of90 percent in by wheel-rolling with an 824 rubber- tired dozer, 5x5 sheepsfoot or loaded scrapers. The approximate location of the structural fill soils is shown on the accompanying geotechnical map (Plate 2). The maximum vertical depth of compacted fill placed within the park site as result of the grading is approximately 30 feet. In cut areas, the upper 1 foot was scarified, air-dried to an acceptable moisture content and then recompacted in-place to achieve at least 90 percent relati ve compaction. Field density and moisture content tests were performed in accordance with nuclear- gauge test methods (ASTM Test Methods D2922 and D3017) and the sandcone ~ ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 5 method (ASTM Test Method D1556). Test results are presented on the attached Table I and approximate field density-test locations are shown on the enclosed grading plans (plates I and 2). Field density tests were taken at vertical intervals of approximately 1 to 2 feet. The compacted fills were tested at the time of placement to verify that the specified moisture content and minimum-required relative compaction of90 percent had been achieved. At least one in-place density test was taken for each 1,000 cubic yards of fill placed and/or for each 2 feet in vertical height of compacted fill. The actual number of tests taken per day varied with the project conditions, such as the number of earthmovers (scrapers) and availability of support equipment. Visual classification of earth materials in the field was the basis for determining which maximum dry density value was applicable for a given density test and are summarized in Appendix A. One-point checks were performed to supplement visual classification. LABORATORY TESTING Maximum Dry Density Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content for each change in soil type were determined in Petra's laboratory in accordance with Test Method ASTM D1557. Applicable test results are presented in the attached Table 1. Expansion Index Tests An expansion index test was performed on a representative sample of soil existing at or near finish-pad grade within the park. The test was performed in general accordance with ASTM Test Method D4829. Soils were found to have a LOW expansion potential. The test result is presented in Appendix A.

The test result indicated a NEGLIGIBLE sulfate content of less than 0.1 percent and is presented in Appendix A. FOUNDATION-DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS Allowable-Bearinl! Capacities An allowable-bearing value of 1 ,500 pounds per square foot (pst), including both dead and live loads, may be used for 12-inch wide continuous footings founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. This value may be increased by 20 percent for each additional foot of width or depth, to a maximum value of2,500 psf. Recommended allowable-bearing values include both dead and live loads and may be increased by one-third for short-duration wind and seismic forces. Lateral Resistance A passive earth pressure of 250 pounds per square foot per foot of depth may be used to determine lateral-bearing resistance for footings. In addition, a coefficient of friction of 0.35 times the dead-load forces may be used between concrete and the compacted-fill soils to determine lateral-sliding resistance. An increase of one-third of the above values may also be used when designing for short-duration wind or seismic forces. The above values are based on footings placed directly against compacted fill or competent bedrock materials. In the case where footing sides are formed, all backfill placed against footings should be compacted to a minimum of90 percent of maximum dry density. -5 ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 7 Footing Observations All building-footing trenches for the proposed structures should be founded into compacted fill materials and be observed by the project geotechnical consultant to verilY that they have been excavated into competent bearing soils prior to placement of forms, reinforcement or concrete. All loose, sloughed or moisture-softened soil should be removed prior to concrete placement. Excavated materials from utility and footing excavations should not be placed in slab-an-ground areas unless properly compacted and tested. Cement Type Results of the laboratory tests performed in accordance with California Test Method No. 417 indicate onsite soils contain water-soluble sulfate contents of less than 0.1 percent. Therefore, according to 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC) Table 19-A-3, a negligible exposure to sulfate can be expected and the use of Type I or II Portland cement concrete placed in contact with the onsite soils is satisfactory. Expansive Soil Considerations Results of a laboratory test performed on a representative sample of the onsite soils indicate that the foundation soils existing within the subject sight exhibit an expansion potential of LOW as classified in accordance with 1997 UBC Table 18-I-B. Based on these soil conditions, it is recommended that footings and floors be sized and reinforced in accordance with the following minimum criteria. However, additional slab thickness, footing sizes and/or reinforcement should be provided as required by the project architect or structural engineer. c.. tti ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .. I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 8 Low Expansion Potential (Expansion Index of 21 to 50) . The following recommendations pertain to as-graded building sites where the foundation soils exhibit a LOW expansion potential as classified in accordance with 1997 UBC Table 18-I-B. 1997 UBC Section 1806.2 specifies that slab-an-ground foundations resting on soils with an expansion index greater than 20 require special design considerations in accordance with 1997 UBC Chapter 18, Division ill (Sections 1815 or 1816) or an engineered design based on geotechnical recommendation as approved by the building official. The design procedures outlined in 1997 UBC Section 1815 are based on the thickness and plasticity index of each different soil type existing within the upper 15 feet of the building site. Petra recommends using an assumed effective plasticity index of5 as defined in 1997 UBC Section 1815.4.2. The design and construction recommendations that follow may be considered for minimizing the effects of slightly (LOW) expansive soils. These recommendations have been based on the previous experience of Petra on projects with similar soil conditions rather than the design criteria detailed in 1996 UBC Section 1815. Although construction performed in accordance with these recommendations has been found to minimize post-construction movement and/or cracking, they generally do not positively mitigate all potential effects of expansive soil action. The owner, architect, design civil engineer, structural engineer and contractors must be made aware of the expansive-soil conditions which exist at the site. Furthermore, it is recommended that additional slab thicknesses, footing sizes and/or reinforcement more stringent than recommended below be provided as required or specified by the project architect or structural engineer. . Footings - Exterior continuous footings may be founded at the minimum depths indicated in 1997 UBC Table 18-I-C (i.e., 12-inch minimum depth for one-story). Interior 1 tti ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 IN. 241-01 Page 9 continuous footings for one-story construction may be founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent grade. All continuous footings should have a minimum width of 12 for one-story buildings and should be reinforced with two No.4 bars, one top and one bottom. Exterior pad footings intended for the support of roof overhangs, such as second-story decks, patio covers and similar construction, should be a minimum of 24 inches square and founded at a minimum depth of 18 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. The pad footings should be reinforced with No.4 bars spaced a maximum of 18 inches on centers, both ways, near the botlom- third of the footings. . Floor Slabs Unless a more stringent design is recommended by the architect or the structural engineer, we recommend a minimum slab thickness of 4 inches and reinforcing consisting of either 6-inch by 6-inch, No.6 by No.6 welded-wire mesh (6x6- W2.9xW2.9) or NO.3 bars spaced a maximum of 18 inches on centers, both ways. All slab reinforcement should be supported on concrete chairs or bricks to ensure the desired placement near mid-height. - Moisture sensitive concrete-floor slabs should be underlain with a moisture- vapor barrier consisting of a polyvinyl chloride membrane, such as 6-mil Visqueen or equivalent. All laps within the membrane should be sealed and at least 2 inches of clean sand be placed over the membrane to promote uniform curing of the concrete. - Prior to placing concrete, the sub grade soils below all floor slabs should be pre- watered to achieve a moisture content that is at least equal to or slightly greater than optimum-moisture content. This moisture content should penetrate to a minimum depth of 12 inches into the subgrade soils. Retaining Walls Footing Embedments The base of retaining-wall footings constructed on level ground may be founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. Where retaining walls are proposed on or within 15 feet from the top of any adjacent descending fill ~ ~ ~ ., I I I I I I I I .- I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13,2002 J.N.241-01 Page 10 slope, the footings should be deepened such that a minimum horizontal clearance of Hl3 (one-third the slope height) is maintained between the outside bottom edges of the footings and the face of the slope but need not exceed 12 feel. This horizontal structural setback may be reduced to 10 feet where footings are constructed near the tops of descending cut slopes. All footing trenches should be observed by the project geotechnical consultant to verify that the footing trenches have been excavated into competent-bearing soils and/or bedrock and to the minimum embedments recommended above. These observations should be performed prior to placing forms or reinforcing steel. Active and At-Rest Earth Pressures An active lateral earth pressure equivalent to a fluid having a density of35 pounds per cubic foot (pet) is tentatively recommended for design of cantilevered walls retaining a level backfill. Where the wall backfill slopes upward at 2: 1 (h:v), the above value should be increased to 53 pcf. For walls that are restrained at the top, at-rest earth pressures of 53 and 78 pcf (equivalent fluid pressures) should be used for walls supporting a level backfill and ascending 2: 1 (h:v) backfill, respectively. The above active and at-rest lateral earth pressures are based on a well-drained backfill. All walls should also be designed to support any adjacent structural surcharge loads imposed by other nearby walls or footings in addition to the above active and at- rest earth pressures. Drainage and Moisture Proofing All retaining walls should be provided with perforated pipe-and-gravel sub drains to prevent entrapment of water in the backfill. Perforated pipe should consist of 4-inch ~ & ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13,2002 J.N.241-01 Page 11 minimum diameter PVC Schedule 40 or ABS SDR-35, with the perforations laid down. The pipe should be embedded in 1.5 cubic feet per foot of 0.75- or 1.5-inch open-graded gravel wrapped in filter fabric. Filter fabric may consist of Mirafi 140N or equal. The gravel should be at least I-foot wide and extend to a minimum height of 1.5 feet above the footing. A solid outlet pipe should be connected to the perforated pipe and then routed to a suitable area for discharge of accumulated water. These portions of the walls supporting backfill should also be coated with an approved waterproofing compound or covered with such material to inhibit infiltration of moisture through the walls. Wall Backfill All wall backfill should be placed in 6- to 8-inch-maximum lifts, watered or air-dried as necessary to achieve near optimum moisture conditions and compacted in place to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. Flooding or jelling should not be permitted. Probing and testing should be performed by the geotechnical consultant or his representative to verify the relative compaction of wall backfill. Temporary Excavations To accommodate retaining-wall construction, temporary slopes may be cut vertical, provided the vertical cut does not exceed a height of 5 feet. Where the vertical cut exceeds this height, the upper portions above a height of 5 feet should be cut-back at a maximum gradient of 1: 1 (horizontal:vertical) for the duration of construction. Temporary slopes constructed at the above configurations are expected to remain stable during construction of retaining walls; however, all temporary excavations should be observed by the geotechnical consultant for any evidence of potential instability. Depending on the results of these observations, flatter slopes may be necessary. \0 ra ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 12 Masonry Garden Walls Construction on or Near the Tops of Descending Slopes Continuous footings for masonry garden walls proposed on or within 7 feet from the top of any descending cut or fill slope should be deepened such that a minimum horizontal clearance of 5 feet is maintained between the outside bottom edge of the footing and the slope face. The footings should be reinforced with a minimum of two No.4 bars, one top and one bottom. Plans for any top-of-slope garden walls proposing pier and grade-beam footings should be reviewed by the project geotechnical consultant prior to construction. Construction on Level Ground Where masonry walls are proposed on level ground and at least 7 feet from the tops of descending slopes, the footings for these walls may be founded at a minimum depth of 12 inches below the lowest adjacent final grade. These footings should also be reinforced with a minimum of two No.4 bars, one top and one bottom. Construction Joints In order to mitigate the potential for unsightly cracking related to the effects of differential settlement, positive separations (construction joints) should be provided in the walls at horizontal intervals of approximately 25 feet and at each comer. The separations should be provided in the blocks only and not extend through the footings. The footings should be placed monolithically with continuous rebars to serve as effective "grade beams" along the full lengths of the walls. Pavement Design Representative samples of the subgrade soils were obtained after completion of rough- grading of the park site and Old Kent Road and tested for R-value in accordance with \\ ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 13 the latest revisions of California Test Method No. 301.

Final subgrade compaction should be performed prior to placing base or asphaltic concrete and after all utility-trench backfills have been compacted and tested. Base materials should consist of Class 2 aggregate base conforming to Section 26-1.02B of the State of California Standard Specifications or crushed aggregate base conforming to Section 200-2 of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (Greenbook). Base materials should be compacted to a minimum of 95 percent relative compaction based on ASTM Test Method D 1557. The base materials should be at or slightly below optimum moisture content when compacted. \f..l tt;; ~ I I I I I I I I I I i I I I I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AlTemecula September 13, 2002 J.N.241-01 Page 14 Asphaltic-concrete materials and construction should conform to Section 203 of the Greenbook. Concrete Flatwork Thickness and Joint Spacing Concrete sidewalks, patio-type slabs and concrete subs labs to be covered with decorative pavers should be at least 3.5 inches thick and provided with construction joints or expansion joints every 6 feet or less. Concrete-driveway slabs should be at least 4 inches thick and provided with construction joints or expansion joints every 10 feet or less. Subgrade Preparation As a further measure to minimize cracking of concrete flatwork, the subgrade soils should first be moisture conditioned to achieve a moisture content that is at least equal to or slightly greater than optimum moisture content and then compacted to a minimum relative compaction of 90 percent. The moisture should extend to a depth of 12 inches below subgrade and be maintained in the soils during placement of concrete. Pre-watering of the soils will promote uniform curing of the concrete and minimize the development of shrinkage cracks. The project geotechnical consultant should observe and verify the density and moisture content of the soils and the depth of moisture penetration prior to placing concrete. Drainage Drainage from flatwork areas should be directed to local area drains and/or graded- earth swales designed to carry runoff water to the adjacent streets or other approved drainage structure. The concrete flalwork should also be sloped at a minimum gradient of I percent away from building foundations, retaining walls, masonry garden walls and slope areas. \'!:> ~ ~ I I I I I I I I I I II I I I I I I I I PACIFIC CENTURY HOMES TR 23143-F Park AfTemecula September 13, 2002 IN. 241-01 Page 15 Planters Area drains should be extended into all planters that are located within 5 feet of building walls, foundations, retaining walls and masonry-block garden walls to minimize excessive infiltration ofwatef into the adjacent foundation soils. The surface ofthe ground in these areas should also be sloped at a minimum gradient of 2 percent away from the walls and foundations. Drip-irrigation systems are also recommended to prevent overwatering and subsequent saturation of the adjacent foundation soils. POST-GRADING OBSERVATIONS AND TESTING Petra should be notified at the appropriate times in order that we may provide the following observation and testing services during the various phases of post-grading construction. .
