A. Introduction
A.1. Project Description
This Geotechnical Evaluation Report addresses the design and construction of the proposed Avienda
Rowhomes, located on the Avienda Development northeast of the Intersection of Bluff Creek Boulevard
and Avienda Parkway in Chanhassen, Minnesota. The project will include the construction of new two-
story row homes constructed on conventional concrete spread footing foundations with grade supported
slabs (no basements) and wood framing. There will be a total of ten prepared rowhome lots, with eight
4-plex and two 3-plex construction. Associated site construction will include light- and medium-duty
bituminous pavements for Avienda lane and private alley, exterior concrete flatwork, new utilities, and
stormwater management.
Table 1 provides our known and assumed project details, as provided to us at the time of this report.

We have described our understanding of the proposed construction and site to the extent others
reported it to us. Depending on the extent of available information, we may have made assumptions
based on our experience with similar projects. If we have not correctly recorded or interpreted the
project details, the project team should notify us. New or changed information could require additional
evaluation, analyses and/or recommendations.
A.2. Site Conditions and History
We have previously prepared a Preliminary Geotechnical Evaluation Report (Braun Project B1701407) for
the Avienda Development, dated April 12, 2017. Since the preliminary report has been issued and at the
time of this report, mass grading activities and soil corrections within the Avienda Rowhomes area has
been completed.
The proposed Avienda Rowhome Development site is bound to the north and west by Avienda Parkway,
to the south by Bluff Creek Boulevard, and to the east by the undeveloped Outlot B, as noted in the
Avienda Rowhome Development plan set.
A.3. Purpose
The purpose of this geotechnical evaluation is to document subgrade conditions, evaluate their impact
and provide recommendations for use in the design and construction of the planned rowhome
development.
A.4. Background Information and Reference Documents
We reviewed the following information:

B. Results
B.1. Geologic Overview
We based the geologic origins used in this report on the soil types, in-situ and laboratory testing, and
available common knowledge of the geological history of the site. Because of the complex depositional
history, geologic origins can be difficult to ascertain. We did not perform a detailed investigation of the
geologic history for the site.

B.2. Mass Grading Activities
Since the issuance of our original Geotechnical Evaluation Report for the overall Avienda development,
the current subgrade conditions (and surface grades) have been altered significantly by earthwork and
soil corrections that have been completed during mass grading activities. The following sections discuss
procedures used during earthwork activities and soil corrections at the time of mass grading. The
Avienda Grading Summary in the Appendix displays the bottom elevations for the soil corrections.
B.2.a. Locations and Elevations
Locations and elevations provided in this report are referenced to the site staking as provided during
construction by the project surveyor and contractor. Excavation bottom elevation measurements were
provided to us by the contractor using their equipment-mounted Global Positioning System (GPS).
B.2.b. Procedures
A senior engineering technician working under the direction of a professional engineer performed the
excavation observations. Visual observations and hand auger borings were performed to aid in
evaluating the suitability of the exposed subgrade soils within the bottom of excavations for support of
the anticipated backfill, fill and foundation loads. The recommendations provided in our original
Geotechnical Evaluation Report were generally followed during the mass grading activities for the
Rowhome development area of the site.
B.2.c. Excavation Observations
For preparation of the soils below the building pad, we observed that any topsoil, existing fill, and organic
swamp deposited soils were removed from the rowhome building pads and their oversize areas prior to
construction. The locations and to the depths of the soil corrections observed are shown on the Grading
Summary Sketch attached in the Appendix. The excavation to remove the unsuitable material was
oversized to extend at least 1 foot laterally for each foot of fill required below proposed house pad hold-
down elevation.
After the topsoil and unsuitable materials were removed, hand-auger borings were performed in the
soils exposed in the bottom of the excavations. The hand auger borings indicated the soils primarily
consisted of stiff lean clays that were judged to be naturally deposited and generally consistent with the
materials encountered during our original geotechnical evaluation.
The pads identified as “Cut” on the Lot-by-Lot Tabulation indicates the native soil observed at the house
pad hold-down elevation generally appeared suitable and further excavations were not warranted.
Level 7 Development, LLC
Project B2106624.00
June 23, 2023
Page 6
Therefore, the excavations for foundation installations on these lots will bear in native soils. If
questionable or poor soil conditions are encountered during townhomes excavations, we recommend
that a geotechnical engineer perform observations to further evaluate the soil conditions and the need
for additional corrective actions.
Based on the results of the soil boring, excavation observations and testing at the time of construction, it
can be concluded that the unsuitable soils were removed during soil corrections from the rowhome pad
locations as shown on the sketch in the Appendix. It can also be concluded that the subgrade soils
exposed in the bottom of the excavations were naturally deposited soils similar to those encountered in
the boring and suitable for support of backfill and fill. Based on the staking provided by others, it appears
that the recommended excavation oversizing was provided for soil corrections (where necessary) in
reference to the pad hold down elevation(s).
B.2.d. Fill Placement
After observing the subgrade soils, backfill and additional fill was placed to achieve design elevations in
the area of the rowhome foundations and slabs. The fill placed was tested periodically for compaction
and moisture content at random locations during site grading in reference to the soil’s maximum dry
density and optimum moisture content (ASTM D 698). The soils used to backfill the excavations generally
consisted of clays that were taken from on-site cut areas. A total of 151 compaction tests were
performed by Braun Intertec personnel in the fill and backfill placed in rowhome pads and are provided
for reference in the Field Compaction Report in the Appendix.
During the site grading, fill was typically dumped by scrapers, spread by bulldozers, and then compacted
using a large, self-propelled, vibratory sheepsfoot compactor. Compaction tests were used to evaluate
the relative density and moisture content of the fill being placed. It is noted that compaction tests
performed in fill areas of the Avienda Rowhome Development are labelled in the Field Compaction
Report with the location nomenclature of Lot 9, Block 4 as the Avienda Rowhome Plan Set prepared by
Landform was not available at the time of grading. Thus, test location naming was labelled based on the
Avienda Development grading plans available at the time of site grading in 2021. We also recommend
referencing the sketch in the Appendix that indicates the compaction test locations in the area of the
rowhomes.
Based on the results of the compaction testing performed during mass grading activities, it can be
concluded that the compaction procedures used by the contractor were generally effective in
compacting and moisture conditioning the fill as indicated by the recommendations in the Preliminary
Geotechnical Evaluation Report and the new fill is suitable for support of the rowhome foundations.

C. Recommendations
We provide the following recommendations for use in the design and construction of the rowhome
portion of this development.
C.1. Subgrade Preparation
C.1.a. Building Subgrade Excavations
The subgrade across the Avienda Rowhome pads is anticipated to primarily consist of clayey engineered
fill placed during mass grading activities and soil correction work or native clay soils. Subgrade
preparation below the proposed Rowhomes is generally anticipated to include stripping of any topsoil
cover and any loose or disturbed soils as well as surface compaction of the exposed subgrade soils.
Additional soil correction excavations are not anticipated prior to foundation construction.
C.1.b. Engineered Fill Materials and Compaction

We recommend spreading engineered fill in loose lifts of approximately 8 inches thick. We recommend
compacting engineered fill in accordance with the criteria presented below in Table 3. The project
documents should specify relative compaction of engineered fill, based on the structure located above
the engineered fill, and vertical proximity to that structure.

The project documents should not allow the contractor to use frozen material as engineered fill or to place
engineered fill on frozen material. Frost should not penetrate under foundations during construction.
We recommend performing density tests in engineered fill to evaluate if the contractors are effectively
compacting the soil and meeting project requirements.
C.1.c. Special Inspections of Soils
We recommend including the site grading and placement of engineered fill within the building pad under
the requirements of Special Inspections, as provided in Chapter 17 of the International Building Code,
which is part of the Minnesota State Building Code. Special Inspection requires observation of soil
conditions below engineered fill or footings, evaluations to determine if excavations extend to the
anticipated soils, and if engineered fill materials meet requirements for type of engineered fill and
compaction condition of engineered fill. A licensed geotechnical engineer should direct the Special
Inspections of site grading and engineered fill placement. The purpose of these Special Inspections is to
evaluate whether the work is in accordance with the approved Geotechnical Report for the project.
Special Inspections should include evaluation of the subgrade, observing preparation of the subgrade
(surface compaction or dewatering, excavation oversizing, placement procedures and materials used for
engineered fill, etc.) and compaction testing of the engineered fill.
C.2. Spread Footings
Table 4 below contains our recommended parameters for rowhome foundation design for spread
footings bearing on engineered fill or native soils.

C.3. Interior Slabs
C.3.a. Subgrade Modulus
The anticipated floor subgrade for the rowhomes is generally anticipated to consist of clayey engineered
fill. We recommend using a modulus of subgrade reaction, k, of 100 pounds per square inch per inch of
deflection (pci) to design the slabs. If the slab design requires placing 6 inches of compacted crushed
aggregate base immediately below the slab, the slab design may increase the k-value by 50 pci. We
recommend that the aggregate base materials be free of bituminous. In addition to improving the
modulus of subgrade reaction, an aggregate base facilitates construction activities and is less weather
sensitive.
C.3.b. Moisture Vapor Protection
Excess transmission of water vapor could cause floor dampness, certain types of floor bonding agents to
separate, or mold to form under floor coverings. If project planning includes using floor coverings or
coatings, we recommend placing a vapor retarder or vapor barrier immediately beneath the slab. We
also recommend consulting with floor covering manufacturers regarding the appropriate type, use and
installation of the vapor retarder or barrier to preserve warranty assurances.

C.3.c. Radon
We recommend installing radon resistant construction components for the proposed building, including
appropriate sub-slab material and vent piping, if required by applicable local building codes. Our radon
mitigation professionals can assist with evaluation of site-specific radon resistant construction
requirements and/or design of a system, at your request.
C.4. Frost Protection
C.4.a. General
Generally, clayey engineered fill soils or native clays will underlie exterior slabs (i.e., sidewalks or stoops).
We consider these soils to be moderately to highly frost susceptible. Soils of this type can retain moisture
and heave upon freezing. In general, this characteristic is not an issue unless these soils become
saturated, due to surface runoff or infiltration, or are excessively wet in situ. Once frozen, unfavorable
amounts of general and isolated heaving of the soils and the surface structures supported on them could
develop. This type of heaving could affect design drainage patterns and the performance of exterior slabs
and pavements, as well as any isolated exterior footings and piers.
Note that general runoff and infiltration from precipitation are not the only sources of water that can
saturate subgrade soils and contribute to frost heave. Roof drainage and irrigation of landscaped areas in
close proximity to exterior slabs and isolated footings and piers, contribute as well.
C.4.b. Frost Heave Mitigation
To address most of the heave related issues, we recommend setting general site grades and grades for
exterior surface features to direct surface drainage away from buildings, across large, paved areas and
away from walkways. Such grading will limit the potential for saturation of the subgrade and subsequent
heaving. General grades should also have enough “slope” to tolerate potential larger areas of heave,
which may not fully settle after thawing.
Even small amounts of frost-related differential movement at walkway joints or cracks can create tripping
hazards. Project planning can explore several subgrade improvement options to address this condition.
One of the more conservative subgrade improvement options to mitigate potential heave is removing
any frost-susceptible soils present below the exterior slab areas down to a minimum depth of 4 feet
below subgrade elevations or to the bottom of adjacent footing elevations. We recommend filling the
resulting excavation with non-frost-susceptible clean sand backfill. We also recommend sloping the
bottom of the excavation toward one or more collection points to remove any water entering the
engineered fill. This approach will not be effective in controlling frost heave without removing the water.
Level 7 Development, LLC
Project B2106624.00
June 23, 2023
Page 11
An important geometric aspect of the excavation and replacement approach described above is sloping
the banks of the excavations to create a more gradual transition between the unexcavated soils
considered frost susceptible and the engineered fill in the excavated area, which is not frost susceptible.
The slope allows attenuation of differential movement that may occur along the excavation boundary.
We recommend slopes that are 3H:1V, or flatter, along transitions between frost-susceptible and non-
frost-susceptible soils.
Figure 2 shows an illustration summarizing some of the recommendations.
Figure 2. Frost Protection Geometry Illustration
Another option is to limit frost heave in critical areas, such as doorways and stoops, via frost-depth
footings or localized excavations with sloped transitions between frost-susceptible and non-frost-
susceptible soils, as described above.
Over the life of slabs, cracks will develop, and joints will open up, which will expose the subgrade and
allow water to enter from the surface and either saturate or perch atop the subgrade soils. This water
intrusion increases the potential for frost heave or moisture-related distress near the crack or joint.
Therefore, we recommend implementing a detailed maintenance program to seal and/or fill any cracks
and joints. The maintenance program should give special attention to areas where dissimilar materials
abut one another, where construction joints occur and where shrinkage cracks develop.

C.5. Pavements
C.5.a. Pavement Subgrade Preparation
We recommend the following steps for pavement subgrade preparation.
1. Strip any surficial topsoil or organic soils from the pavement subgrade area.
2. Have a geotechnical representative observe the excavated subgrade to evaluate if additional
subgrade improvements are necessary. Where necessary pavement subcuts on the order of
about 2 feet will be adequate at this site.
3. Slope subgrade soils to allow the removal of accumulating water.
4. Scarify, moisture condition and surface compact the subgrade with at least five passes of a
large roller with a minimum drum diameter of 3 1/2 feet.
5. Place pavement engineered fill to grade and compact in accordance with Section C.1.b to
bottom of pavement section. See Section C.4 for additional considerations related to frost
heave.
6. Proofroll the pavement subgrade as described in Section C.5.b.
C.5.b. Pavement Subgrade Proofroll
After preparing the subgrade as described above and prior to the placement of the aggregate base, we
recommend proofrolling the subgrade soils with a fully loaded tandem-axle truck. We also recommend
having a geotechnical representative observe the proofroll. Areas that fail the proofroll likely indicate
soft or weak areas that will require additional soil correction work to support pavements.
The contractor should correct areas that display excessive yielding or rutting during the proofroll, as
determined by the geotechnical representative. Possible options for subgrade correction include
moisture conditioning and recompaction, subcutting and replacement with soil or crushed aggregate,
chemical stabilization and/or geotextiles. We recommend performing a second proofroll after the
aggregate base material is in place, and prior to placing bituminous or concrete pavement.
C.5.c. Design Sections
Our scope of services for this project did not include laboratory tests on subgrade soils to determine an
R-value for pavement design. Based on our experience with similar clayey soils anticipated at the
pavement subgrade elevation, we recommend pavement design assume an R-value of 12. Note the
Level 7 Development, LLC
Project B2106624.00
June 23, 2023
Page 13
contractor may need to perform limited removal of unsuitable or less suitable soils to achieve this value.
Table 5 provides our recommended minimum pavement sections, based on the soils supporting and
assumed traffic loads.
Table 5. Bituminous Pavement Sections
Use Light Duty Medium Duty
Minimum bituminous thickness
(inches) 3 1/2 4
Minimum aggregate base thickness
(inches) 8 10
Minimum granular subbase --- ---
To help improve pavement life and performance, the design sections could consider using a sand section
below the aggregate base course. A sand section would include a minimum 18 inches of clean sand with
a separator fabric (MnDOT Type 5) placed between the sand and clay subgrade. Drain tile would be
needed throughout the sand section to help remove collected water and is critical to pavement
performance with a sand section. If a sand section is incorporated into design, the aggregate base course
can be reduced by 2 inches for both the light and medium duty sections.
C.5.d. Bituminous Pavement Materials
Appropriate mix designs are critical to the performance of flexible pavements. We have assumed that
bituminous pavement mix designs will be similar to those of surrounding private roads in the Avienda
Development.
C.5.e. Concrete Section
Where concrete pavements are needed (i.e., entrances), we recommend they consist of a minimum 5 inches
of Portland concrete placed over 4 inches of aggregate base course. We assume concrete sections at the
development will have edge support. We recommend placing an aggregate base below the pavement to
provide a suitable subgrade for concrete placement, reduce faulting and help dissipate loads. Appropriate
mix designs, panel sizing, jointing, doweling and edge reinforcement are critical to performance of rigid
pavements.
Level 7 Development, LLC
Project B2106624.00
June 23, 2023
Page 14
C.5.f. Subgrade Drainage
We recommend installing perforated drainpipes (drain tile) throughout pavement areas at low points,
around catch basins, and behind curb in landscaped areas. We also recommend installing drainpipes
along pavement and exterior slab edges where exterior grades promote drainage toward those edge
areas. The contractor should place drainpipes in small trenches below the s aggregate base material or
sand section as applicable.
C.5.g. Performance and Maintenance
We based the above pavement designs on a 20-year performance life. This is the amount of time before
we anticipate the pavement will require reconstruction. This performance life assumes routine
maintenance, such as seal coating and crack sealing. The actual pavement life will vary depending on
variations in weather, traffic conditions and maintenance.
It is common to place the non-wear course of bituminous and then delay placement of wear course. For
this situation, we recommend evaluating if the reduced pavement section will have sufficient structure to
support construction traffic.
Many conditions affect the overall performance of the pavements. Some of these conditions include the
environment, loading conditions and the level of ongoing maintenance. With regard to bituminous
pavements in particular, it is common to have thermal cracking develop within the first few years of
placement and continue throughout the life of the pavement. We recommend developing a regular
maintenance plan for filling cracks in pavements to lessen the potential impacts for cold weather distress
due to frost heave or warm weather distress due to wetting and softening of the subgrade.
C.6. Utilities
C.6.a. Subgrade Stabilization
Earthwork activities associated with utility installations located inside the building area should adhere to
the recommendations in Section C.1.b.
For exterior utilities, we anticipate the soils at typical invert elevations will be suitable for utility support.
However, if construction encounters unfavorable conditions such as soft clay, organic soils or perched
water at invert grades, the unsuitable soils may require some additional subcutting and replacement
with sand or crushed rock to prepare a proper subgrade for pipe support. Project design and construction
should not place utilities within the 1H:1V oversizing of foundations.

C.6.b. Corrosion Potential
Based on our experience, the soils encountered by the borings are moderately corrosive to metallic
conduits, but only marginally corrosive to concrete. We recommend specifying non-corrosive materials
or providing corrosion protection, unless project planning chooses to perform additional tests to
demonstrate the soils are not corrosive.
C.7. Equipment Support
The recommendations included in the report may not be applicable to equipment used for the
construction and maintenance of this project. We recommend evaluating subgrade conditions in areas of
shoring, scaffolding, cranes, pumps, lifts and other construction equipment prior to mobilization to
determine if the exposed materials are suitable for equipment support or require some form of subgrade
improvement. We also recommend project planning consider the effect that loads applied by such
equipment may have on structures they bear on or surcharge – including pavements, buried utilities,
below-grade walls, etc. We can assist you in this evaluation.
D. Procedures
D.1. Material Classification and Testing
D.1.a. Visual and Manual Classification
We visually and manually classified the geologic materials encountered based on ASTM D2488. When we
performed laboratory classification tests, we used the results to classify the geologic materials in
accordance with ASTM D2487. The Appendix includes a chart explaining the classification system we used.
D.1.b. Laboratory Testing
The exploration logs in the Appendix note the results of the laboratory tests performed on geologic
material samples. We performed the tests in general accordance with ASTM procedures.
D.2. Groundwater Measurements
During mass grading activities, our field personnel observed the sides and bottoms excavations for
evidence of groundwater seepage and/or accumulation.

E. Qualifications
E.1. Continuity of Professional Responsibility
E.1.a. Plan Review
We based this report on a limited amount of information, and we made a number of assumptions to help
us develop our recommendations. We should be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the
designs and specifications. This review will allow us to evaluate whether we anticipated the design
correctly, if any design changes affect the validity of our recommendations, and if the design and
specifications correctly interpret and implement our recommendations.
E.1.b. Construction Observations and Testing
We recommend retaining us to perform the required observations and testing during construction as
part of the ongoing geotechnical evaluation. This will allow us to correlate the subsurface conditions
exposed during construction with those encountered by the borings and provide professional continuity
from the design phase to the construction phase. If we do not perform observations and testing during
construction, it becomes the responsibility of others to validate the assumption made during the
preparation of this report and to accept the construction-related geotechnical engineer-of-record
responsibilities.
E.2. Use of Report
This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed parties. Without written approval, we assume no
responsibility to other parties regarding this report. Our evaluation, analyses and recommendations may
not be appropriate for other parties or projects.
E.3. Standard of Care
In performing its services, Braun Intertec used that degree of care and skill ordinarily exercised under
similar circumstances by reputable members of its profession currently practicing in the same locality.
No warranty, express or implied, is made.

A.Based on the material passing the 3-inch (75-mm) sieve.
B.If field sample contained cobbles or boulders, or both, add "with cobbles or boulders,
or both" to group name.
C. Gravels with 5 to 12% fines require dual symbols:
GW-GM well-graded gravel with silt
GW-GC well-graded gravel with clay
GP-GM poorly graded gravel with silt
GP-GC poorly graded gravel with clay
D.Cu = D60 / D10 Cc = 𝐷30 2 / (𝐷10 𝑥𝐷60)
E.If soil contains ≥ 15% sand, add "with sand" to group name.
F.If fines classify as CL-ML, use dual symbol GC-GM or SC-SM.
G. If fines are organic, add "with organic fines" to group name.
H. Sands with 5 to 12%fines require dual symbols:
SW-SM well-graded sand with silt
SW-SC well-graded sand with clay
SP-SM poorly graded sand with silt
SP-SC poorly graded sand with clay
I.If soil contains ≥ 15% gravel, add "with gravel" to group name.
J. If Atterberg limits plot in hatched area, soil is CL-ML, silty clay.
K.If soil contains 15 to < 30% plus No. 200, add "with sand" or "with gravel", whichever is
predominant.
L. If soil contains ≥ 30% plus No. 200, predominantly sand, add “sandy” to group name.
M. If soil contains ≥ 30% plus No. 200 predominantly gravel, add “gravelly” to group name.

Drilling Notes:
BPF: Numbers indicate blows per foot recorded in standard
penetration test, also known as “N” value. The sampler was set
6 inches into undisturbed soil below the hollow-stem auger.
Driving resistances were then counted for second and third
6-inch increments, and added to get BPF.
Partial Penetration:If the sampler cannot be driven the full
12 inches beyond the initial 6-inch set, the number of blows for
that partial penetration is shown as "No./X" (i.e., 50/2"). If the
sampler cannot be advanced beyond the initial 6-inch set, the
depth of penetration will be recorded in the Notes column as
"No. to set X" (i.e., 50 to set 4").
WH: WH indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
hammer and rods alone; driving not required.
WR: WR indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
rods alone; hammer weight and driving not required.
WL: WL indicates the water level measured by the drillers
either while drilling or following drilling.
Moisture Content:
Dry:Absence of moisture, dusty, dry to the touch.
Moist: Damp but no visible water.
Wet: Visible free water, usually soil is below water table.
