Re: Proposed 5 to 6 Story Building 9 Erskine Lane, View Royal, BC
As requested, we have completed an assessment of the geotechnical conditions at the referenced site. The scope of our assessment included a desktop study of available geotechnical information, and a brief site reconnaissance. The following letter summarizes the results of our assessment and our associated recommendations as such relate to the proposed development. Our work has been completed in accordance with, and is subject to, the attached Terms of Engagement.
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
The project site is located on the northeast side of Erskine Lane, and is bounded by Watkiss Way to the northwest, a vacant lot that appears to have been formerly used as a quarry to the northeast, and a commercial lot occupied by two warehouse structures to the southeast. In addition, the Victoria General Hospital is approximately 150 meters (m) northeast of the site. There is a Victoria watermain right of way that runs east to west and roughly bisects the site into two distinct portions, hereafter referred to as the northwest portion (north of the right of way), and the southeast portion (south of the right of way).
There are very steep to vertical rock faces that separate the site, adjacent to the northeast property line, from the vacant lot to the northeast. These rock faces appear to have been created by past rock excavation/quarrying activities completed in the now vacant lot.
Based on our discussions with you, we understand that the proposed development would consist of constructing several five to six storey multi-family residential buildings with one level of underground parking.
