Unsuitable Soils definition

Unsuitable Soils means abnormal, geotechnically substandard or contaminated soils, which in CPED staff’s professional opinion, qualify for Soil Correction. Such abnormal, substandard or contaminated soils shall include, but are not limited to, soils that contain substantive amounts of loose and/or organic soils; demolition debris and rubble; abandoned building foundations, pilings, underground utilities and storage tanks; illegally dumped and buried materials; and hazardous wastes, pollutants or contaminants as those terms are defined under any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, code or regulation.

Unsuitable Soils is defined as subsurface materials below subgrade which (1) are not Hazardous Materials or Rock; (2) are not able to be used in connection with the construction of the Project; (3) are above 20 percent (20%) of the optimum moisture content, as set forth in the 2001 version of the Department’s Manual of Instructions – Materials Division; and (4) must be removed and replaced with suitable fill material.

Unsuitable Soils means abnormal, geotechnically substandard or contaminated soils, which, in CPED staff’s reasonable and professional opinion, qualify for soil correction. Such abnormal, substandard or contaminated soils shall include, but are not limited to, soils that contain substantive amounts of loose and/or organic soils; demolition debris and rubble; abandoned building foundations; pilings, underground utilities and storage tanks; illegally dumped and buried materials; and/or hazardous substances, hazardous wastes, pollutants or contaminants as those terms are defined under any federal, state or local statute, ordinance, code or regulation; To be eligible for an “Unsuitable Soils” reduction of the appraised value, the Unsuitable Soils must fall within the following threshold criteria: (i) the soil correction amounts must be substantial; (ii) the soils must not be the surface residue left over from demolition work unless such surface residue was left over from City demolition commitments below; (iii) the soils must be at an excavation depth greater than that required for frost footings; (iv) the soils must be incapable of supporting moderately loaded footings with earthwork required to strip organic surface materials, clearing and grubbing of trees and brush with grading and compaction; (v) the topography of the site must not require cutting and filling to adapt contours of the site to the design of the building; and (vi) the extent and cost of the site preparation work must exceed the extent and costs of such work that is customarily and typically required for projects of similar size and nature. Additionally, if there are design options available for construction of the Minimum Improvements that could minimize the need for and costs of soil correction, such design options should be considered and undertaken if they are feasible and do not, in the reasonable opinion of City staff, substantially increase development costs. Developer may request City sponsorship of, and the City shall sponsor and fully cooperate with, grant applications to outside funding sources (i.e. DEED; Metropolitan Council; Hennepin County) to apply for available grants for any required environmental remediation or other extraordinary costs.
