| Intent | Intent 1: To limit the probability of ice lens formation beneath foundations
that are installed on fine-grained soils (which can retain quite a bit of
water), which could lead to the excessive vertical movement of the soil, which
could lead to excessive stress on foundations, which could lead to structural
