<br />Project No. E9164-04-0 2 - 1 - April 15, 2020 <br />UPDATE GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATION <br />1. PURPOSE AND SCOPE <br />This report presents the results of an update geotechnical investigation for the planned new Resurrection Greek <br />Orthodox Church at 11300 Dublin Canyon Road in Pleasanton, California (see Vicinity Map, Figure 1). The <br />purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the subsurface soil and geologic conditions in the area of planned <br />development and provide conclusions and recommendations pertaining to the geotechnical aspects of project <br />design and construction, based on the conditions encountered during our study. <br />The scope of this investigation included field exploration, laboratory testing, engineering analysis and the <br />preparation of this report. Our field exploration was performed on October 28, 2019 and January 27, 2020 <br />included seven exploratory borings drilled to depths ranging between approximately 10 and 24 ½ feet below the <br />existing ground surface. The locations of the soil borings are depicted on the Site Plan, Figure 2. A detailed <br />discussion of our field investigation and soil boring logs are presented in Appendix A. <br />Laboratory tests were performed on selected soil samples obtained during the investigation to evaluate pertinent <br />geotechnical parameters. Appendix B presents the laboratory test results in tabular format and graphical format. <br />Soil boring logs and laboratory testing from a previous study by others are included in Appendix C. <br />The opinions expressed herein are based on analysis of the data obtained during the investigation and our <br />experience with similar soil and geologic conditions. References reviewed to prepare this report are provided in <br />the List of References section. <br />If project details vary significantly from those described herein, Geocon should be contacted to determine the <br />necessity for review and possible revision of this report. <br />2. SITE CONDITIONS AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />The site is a portion of a larger 16 ¼-acre parcel (Alameda County APN 941-1600-7-3) that includes Pleasanton <br />View Church of Christ. The southern portion of that 16 ¼ parcel will be developed as a new Resurrection Greek <br />Orthodox Church. The approximately 4 ¼-acre site is generally located between Dublin Creek and Dublin Canyon <br />Road. Existing single-family residential development is present to the west. The site is generally vacant with no <br />visible improvements aside from perimeter fencing. Topographically, the portion of the site to be developed is <br />relatively flat and slopes gently from a high of approximately 430 feet MSL at the western end to approximately <br />425 feet MSL, based on web-based aerial imagery and mapping. Topography descends to the Dublin Creek <br />drainage at the northern and eastern margins of the site. Site-specific topographic information was not provided; <br />we estimate Dublin Creek is approximately 20 feet below the balance of the site. <br /> <br />Based on the preliminary development plans provided by the project architects, , we understand a 10,000-square <br />foot, 350-seat at-grade church building and a larger, two-story at-grade building with gymnasium are proposed at <br />the western end of the site. The two-story building will be used for community, administrative and religious <br />educational purposes. At-grade parking and driveways are planned throughout the site. Vehicular access will be <br />via two driveways off Dublin Canyon Road. Ancillary site improvements such as new underground utilities and <br />landscaping are also expected. <br /> <br />Grading plans were not available at the time of this report. We have assumed cuts and fills to establish design <br />subgrade elevations will be approximately 3 feet or less. Structural plans were also not available at the time of <br />this report. We anticipate the new church and ancillary two-story building will utilize conventional shallow <br />foundations (footings) and slab-on-grade for foundation support.
