The La Quinta Resort
La Quinta, Riverside County, California
File No.: 12124-01
Doc. No.: 17-01-705
As requested, Earth Systems Southwest (Earth Systems) is providing this structural plan review
submitted to Earth Systems. Our review was performed for the residence (house) and is from a
geotechnical perspective. Our conclusions are provided below.
Background
On Wednesday, January 4, 2017, Earth Systems performed a residential building structural plan
review (Reference 7; Knapp & Associates, Inc, 2016, Custom Home for Mr. and Mrs. Swenson, 77-
210 Loma Vista, La Quinta, California, 16 Sheets; 11/28/2016) for the subject lot, and had nine
(9) redline comments to be addressed by the structural engineer. On Wednesday, January 4,
2017, the redline comments referenced above were transmitted via email to Nicole Cuneo
(Architect with Prest Vuksic Architects). On Tuesday, January 10, 2017, Earth Systems received
revised sheets from Prest Vuksic (see attached) and reviewed them for conformance.
rnnrlucinn
Earth Systems comments, provided in the attachments, have been addressed, and it is our
professional opinion that, from a geotechnical standpoint, the revised plans were prepared in
substantial conformance with the intent of the recommendations in the referenced project soil
reports. Additionally, it is our opinion that the recommendations provided in the project soils
reports (see Reference Section), including updates, remain applicable to the proposed project
and should be followed.
Proper geotechnical observation and testing during construction is imperative to allow the
geotechnical engineer the opportunity to verify assumptions made during the design process and
to verify that our geotechnical recommendations have been properly interpreted and
implemented during construction and is required by the 2013 California Building Code.
Observation of grading and fill placement by the Geotechnical Eneineer of Record should be in
conformance with Section 17 of the 2013 California Building Code. California Building Code
requires full time observation by the geotechnical consultant during site grading (fill placement)
January 11, 2017 2 File No.: 12124-01
Doc. No.: 17-01-705
and in accordance with the requirements of the project plans. Therefore, we recommend that
Earth Systems be retained during the construction of the proposed improvements to observe
compliance with the geotechnical recommendations, and to allow design changes in the event
that subsurface conditions or methods of construction differ from those assumed while
completing our study. Please review the limitations presented below as they are vital to the
understanding of this letter.
Limitations
Conclusions contained in this letter are based on our previously documented field observations
and subsurface explorations, laboratory tests, and our present knowledge of the proposed
construction. Variations in soil or groundwater conditions could exist between and beyond the
exploration points. The nature and extent of these variations may not become evident until
construction. Variations in soil or groundwater may require additional studies, consultation, and
possible revisions to our recommendations. If during construction, soil conditions are
encountered which differ from those described, we should be notified immediately in order that
a review may be made and any supplemental recommendations provided.
If the scope of the proposed construction changes from that described in this report, the
conclusions and recommendations contained in this report are not considered valid unless the
changes are reviewed, and the conclusions of this report are modified or approved in writing by
Earth Systems. Additionally, this letter should be included with the project geotechnical (soils)
report and specification documents. This report is issued with the understanding that the owner
or the owner's representative has the responsibility to bring the information and
recommendations contained herein to the attention of the architect and engineers for the
project. The recommendations presented within are predicated upon the recommendations
presented in the referenced project soils reports. Information and recommendations presented
in this supplement should not be extrapolated to other areas or be used for other projects
without our prior review and response.
If Earth Systems is not retained to provide grading observation and testing during construction,
we can assume no responsibility for misinterpretation or the applicability of our
recommendations. The above services can be provided in accordance with our current Fee
Schedule. The geotechnical engineering firm providing tests and observations shall assume the
responsibility of Geotechnical Engineer of Record.
Earth Systems has striven to provide our services in accordance with generally accepted
geotechnical engineering practices in this locality at this time. No warranty or guarantee express
or implied is made. Please note that it is not within our scope of work to check the reviewed
documents for conformance to codes or other client and government requirements. As Earth
Systems does not practice architectural or structural design, we make no representation as to
the accuracy of dimensions, measurements, calculations, or any portion of the design.

MEMORANDUM
To:
Enclave Mountain Estates HUA — Board or Directors
From:
Charles Greely, PE, LEED AP, QSD
Subject:
Swenson Residence (6) Mountain Estates
Date:
January 28, 2015
Please accept this memo as our formal response to your request for engineering review of the
precise grading plans associated with the proposed Swenson Residence construction within The
Enclave Mountain Estates located in La Quinta, California.
Pursuant with you request, Dudek has reviewed the grading and utility plans (with a submittal
date of 10/28/2014) associated with the residence primarily for concerns associated with
drainage from the site. Dudek understands that the City of La Quinta is reviewing the plans for
permitting concurrent with our review. This review in no way intended to supersede or
countermand the plan review provided by the City Public Works or Building Department
personnel.
The following is a list of comments and/or concerns associated with the plans:
1) The drainage system is comprised of a series of area drains connected to a localized
storm drain system that terminates in an underground retention system adjacent to the
driveway. Though sizes and material specifications are missing from the plans (and
should be added in future submittals) the system appears to consist of 4" to 12" storm
drain piping with minimum slopes of 0.5%. Hydrology and hydraulic (II&H) calculations
should be provided to verify that the system has adequate capacity to convey up to a 100-
yr storm event into the downstream retention structure.
2) The underground retention system is comprised of a sloped 48" diameter pipe connected
to a drywell to facilitate percolation. The location of the drywell is approximately P from
the limits of the existing culvert pipes that convey drainage from the channel system
underneath Loma Vista to the downstream drainage facilities in the La Quinta Resort.
The close proximity of the proposed drywell to the existing culvert pipe causes concern
for the following reasons:
WWW,DUDEK.COM
Memorandum
Subject: Swenson Residence @ Mountain Estates
a. Constructability — Can the drywell be installed while adequately protecting the
existing culvert pipe from damage
b. The drywell will dispose of storm water through percolation to surrounding soils.
The result will be additional lateral pressure on the culvert pipe during times of
percolation. The culvert pipe needs to be analyzed to verify that adequate
structural capacity exists for this load case.
c. Are collapsible soils present around the drywell that could cause structural
damage to the culvert in the presence of percolated water?
d. Has adequate geotechnical testing occurred to verify that the drywell will
completely percolate within 72 hours to satisfy vector control concerns?
e. The proposed underground retention system will encroach into the exiting private
drainage easement. Will special permission be needed from the HOA for this
encroachment?
f. What maintenance protocols are (or will be) in place to ensure the system is
inspected and maintained?
3) The project proposes to construct an access route from the private driveway to the
drainage easement for maintenance equipment access. The proposed route requires tight
turning movements that may restrict anything but small equipment from access the
channel. Additionally, a 10' wide gate is proposed to restrict access to the channel. The
applicant should show justification for the proposed gate and demonstrate that the turning
movements will not restrict access for typical maintenance equipment (backhoe, track
loader, skid steer, etc.) If a gate is proven to be justified, we recommend a rninirnum
width of 15 to accommodate the full drainage easement width.
4) Based on the quantity of impermeable rock material that currently makes up the lot, we
would not expect a significant increase in runoff associated with the building footprint
and associated hardscape surfaces. Therefore the proposed construction should have no
appreciable impact on the existing flood control channel and no increased risk of
exceeding the channel capacity.
Please note; this plan review is based on preliminary design documents provided by the
applicant. Dudek anticipates that final design documents (precise grading, H&H study, fire
department approval, CVWD approval, etc.) would be prepared and submitted to the City and
HOA for final approval.

Proposed Swanson Home - 4ih Submittal
Preliminary Checklist of CCR and Design Guidelines
May 16,2014 VlNi GROUP ltCHlrrcrs
Purpose and Process
The pupose of this report is to advise the Archllecutral Review Commilee of the Enclave Mountain Estates regardngthe proposed
Swenson home project. The Intent of this report Is to review the proposed project against the Governing Documents (CC&R and
Architecture and Landscape Design Guidelines). Relevant Sections from each have been excerpted here for ,elewxe. My
judgement regarding whether or not the proposed project compiles with each excerpted Section Is provided, along 41 my
comments.
It should be noted that the proposed project has unique characteristics that set it apart from any other lot in the community:
► The lot Is combined of two lots, each of which Is much larger than any other single lot in the Mountain Estates
► The lot is undeveloped, yet partly disturbed, and not fine -graded, unlike any other lot in the Mountain Estates
► The lot contains areas of nativo, untouched land and landscape, unlike any other lot In the Mountain Estates
>D The lot Is the only lot in the Mountain Estates located on the "far side" of the storm channei.
► The proposed home Is elevated roughly two stories above all other homes.
► The lot does not have the typical front yard, side yards, rear yard setup like all other homes.
► The proposed home faces the rear yards of six homes, like no other home In the Mountain Estates
It should also be noted that the Architecture and Landscape Design Guidelines were last revised 5/6199, which post-dates the
anexallon of the Swenson lots to the Mountain Estates In 6/14/93.
In the chart below, I have provided a quick means to check the compliance, or not, of the various Sections cited. Some Sections
are advisory In nature, rather than prescriptive, and are Included due to their relevance to the Swenson project. Those Sections
have no relevant Comply response so 'n/a" is shown. Where additional information or conlirmation Is needed a'moro into" or
"Yes, Conditionally" response Is entered.
