Agencymember Taylor asked why this investigation could not be done with the original
borings.
Frank Tripepi, Exective Director responded that it would be prudent to have additional
borings at the site conducted by an independent company due to concerns voiced by the Agency.
Mr. Tripepi continued that the first test borings revealed no problems, but he would be more
comfortable with a second, independent soils study.
Steve Copenhaver, GRC Associates, Inc., stated that they would like a third party review
of the soils conditions and the way the project has been designed to those conditions. Mr.
Copenhaver stated that the foundation is the greatest risk and that it would be worthwhile to have
a third party engineer make recommendations to reduce that risk. These borings will take place
at the base of the parking lot to avoid unnecessary cracking and underneath the proposed
buildings, and to also have the firm double check the prior recommendations.
Agencymember Imperial stated that he was concerned with the fill material used at that
site when it was a motorcycle park and what impact that would have on the area.
Agencymember Bruesch stated that in lieu of the conversation that took place at the last
agency meeting concerning soil compaction and drainage, etc., he would feel safer with another
opinion.

Aye: Clark, Bruesch, Vasquez, Imperial, Taylor
