to the submission of the final subdivision map, the subdivider shall
file with the Building Department a preliminary soil report, pre-
pared by a civil engineer who is registered by the State of Cali-
fornia, based upon adequate test borings or excavations of every
subdivision, as defined in Sections 11535 and 11535. 1 of the Busi-
ness and Professions Code. The preliminary soil report may be
waived if the Building Department shall determine that, due to the
knowledge of such department as to the soil qualities of the sub-
division, no preliminary analysis is necessary.
"(B) SOIL INVESTIGATION. If the preliminary soil report
indicates the presence of critically expansive soils or other soil
problems which, if not corrected, would lead to structural defects,
a soil investigation of each lot in the subdivision shall be prepared
by a civil engineer who is registered by the State of California..
The soil investigation shall recommend corrective action which is
likely to prevent structural damage to each dwelling proposed to
be constructed on the expansive soil. The report shall be filed
with the Building Department.
"(C) APPROVAL OF SOIL INVESTIGATION. The Building
Department shall approve the soil investigation if it determines
that the recommended corrective action is likely to prevent
structural damage to each dwelling to be constructed on each lot
in the subdivision. Appeal from such determination shall be to
the City Council. The building permit shall be conditioned upon
the incorporation of the approved recommended corrective action
in the construction of each dwelling."
