Subject: Geotechnical Response to City of San Juan Capistrano Review Comments dated March
23, 2022 for the Proposed Residential Development, Tract No. 18148, Southwest
Corner of Calle Arroyo and Paseo Tirador, City of San Juan Capistrano, California
Introduction
In accordance with your request, LGC Geotechnical, Inc. is responding to the City of San Juan Capistrano
review comments, prepared by Hetherington Engineering, Inc., dated March 23, 2022 for the proposed
Residential Development, located at the southwest corner of Calle Arroyo and Paseo Tirador, Tract No.
18148, San Juan Capistrano, California.
Geotechnical Review Comments dated March 23, 2021
For your convenience, the applicable review comments have been repeated below along with our
responses. A copy of the review sheet is provided in Appendix A.
Comment No. 1
“The Consultant should review the project precise grading plans (References 17 and 18), provide any
additional geotechnical analysis/recommendations considered necessary, and confirm that the plans have
been prepared in accordance with the geotechnical recommendations.”
Response to Comment No. 1
LGC Geotechnical has reviewed the referenced precise grading plans for the model and production sites
and confirms they are acceptable from a geotechnical perspective. The plans have been prepared in
general conformance with the geotechnical recommendations.
Project No. 20266‐01 Page 2 March 29, 2022
Comment No. 2
“The Consultant indicates rough grading is in progress. Prior to release of the model lots for precise
grading, the Consultant should provide a formal report or letter confirming the lots are suitable for precise
grading and construction. Prior to release of the production lots for precise grading, the Consultant should
provide a rough grade compaction report consistent with City of San Juan Capistrano requirements.”
Response to Comment No. 2
The model lots are now graded. With this letter LGC Geotechnical formally states that the lots are ready
for construction from a geotechnical perspective. Production lots are not ready, and a complete report will
be published when that occurs.
Closure
Our services were performed using the degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised, under similar
circumstances, by reputable engineers and geologists practicing in this or similar localities. No other

Introduction
In accordance with your request, LGC Geotechnical, Inc. (LGC Geotechnical) has prepared this letter to
provide geotechnical release from rough grading of Lot 1, “Petra” Units 35 and 36 for Tract No. 18148,
Proposed Residential Development located at the southwest corner of Calle Arroyo and Paseo Tirador,
in the City of San Juan Capistrano, California.
Project No. 20266‐01 Page 2 March 29, 2022
Geotechnical Release from Rough Grading
LGC Geotechnical recently provided geotechnical observation and testing services during grading for the
subject area. Observation included over-excavation and removals of unsuitable materials, placement of
compacted engineered fills and finish grade testing. Where tested, compacted fill materials placed were
found to meet the project specification of at least 90 percent relative compaction, as determined by ASTM
Test Method D1557. A comprehensive as‐graded report documenting our observations and testing during
rough grading for the entire site will be presented in a forthcoming report.
Based on our observations and testing during grading, we consider the subject lots to be generally
suitable for their proposed use from a geotechnical standpoint provided the recommendations included
in the referenced reports (LGC Geotechnical, 2021a, 2021b & 2021c) and future applicable geotechnical
reports are appropriately implemented. The subject area was constructed in general accordance with
our recommendations and the requirements of the City of San Juan Capistrano.
Should you have any questions regarding the content of this letter, or should you need any additional
information, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We appreciate this opportunity to be of service.
