As this property was originally zoned agricultural, I find no problem with this planned land use. One thing to keep in mind when constructing a home in this area is that the surficial material is composed of loess, which has a tendency to consolidate when wet. At least one subsurface soil sample should be collected from the building envelope and tested for consolidation and swell potential. The foundation design should incorporate thetest results to help prevent post-construction damage due to settling or swelling. Also, some shallow water-bearing alluvial gravels occur in the area that may pose a subsurface drainage problem to basements. Therefore, if subgradc construction is intended, it would be wise to dig a test pit or drill a test hole to the proposed foundation depth to evaluate the groundwater situation. If shallow groundwater is present,foundation drains should be installed. The drainageway in the southwestern corner of the pro jhp be as an COOs�ula� � � • and there should be construction provisions for any '; Please contact me if J can be of further assistance.
