 4) R401.4 SOIL TESTS.
 IN AREAS LIKELY TO HAVE EXPANSIVE, COMPRESSIBLE,
 SHIFTING OR OTHER UNKNOWN SOIL CHARACTERISTICS, THE
 BUILDING OFFICIAL SHALL DETERMINE WHETHER TO REQUIRE A
 SOIL TEST TO DETERMINE THE SOIL?S CHARACTERISTICS AT A
 PARTICULAR LOCATION. THIS TEST SHALL BE MADE BY AN
 APPROVED AGENCY USING AN APPROVED METHOD. SUBMIT A
 GEOTECHNICAL REPORT

 FOR EACH WIND DIRECTION CONSIDERED, AN EXPOSURE
 CATEGORY THAT ADEQUATELY REFLECTS THE CHARACTERISTICS
 OF GROUND SURFACE IRREGULARITIES SHALL BE DETERMINED
 FOR THE SITE AT WHICH THE BUILDING OR STRUCTURE IS TO
 BE CONSTRUCTED. FOR A SITE LOCATED IN THE TRANSITION
