All necessary fill will be provided and installed in <br />accordance with the recommended material specifications and compaction requirements <br />as per the Geotechnical Investigation by Foundation Engineering, Inc., (FEI) completed <br />th <br />February 12, 2013.All fill will be contained on site, and will not encroach onto City <br />Park Land. The approximate anticipated fill depth is 3 feet.FEI, in their investigative <br />report, has statedthat all footings excavation, foundation subgrade, compaction <br />verification,back-filling, sub-grade pumping, density tests,and allother necessary <br />geotechnical work on site will be evaluated and verified by FEI representatives. <br />Second,pertainingtoconcernsabout traffic on Oakleigh, our transportation engineer <br />th <br />(Access Engineering LLC) has verified that theirSeptember 27, 2013letter on record <br />concurs with staff findings that the proposed OMC development will not require further <br />Traffic Impact Analysis or reduce safety or service levels in thearea.
