The new bearing poinfs alang the front wall at approximately 3'-Q" in from <br /> the exterior wails will require (�)-£uIt height #4 vertical reinfvrcing bar to be <br /> piaced in each of the thre� cores directly beneath the bearing studs. The top <br /> full course of existing znascmry to remain is to consist of a bond beam with <br /> (2)#4 rein#orcing bars running a minimum vE 3'-0" zn each directian from the <br /> bearing paint. <br /> c. The exishng strip foating witl be structuralty adequate to support the new <br /> laads as described above without underpinning or oversizing. The contractc�r <br /> is to #ield verify the existing foundation masonry walls are 12-inchea wide, <br /> ar►d the sfxip footing exte�ds a minimum o£ 4-inches on each side of the <br /> faundation walI. <br /> �.

It is our professional engineering opinion that the proposed remodel wil� be <br /> adequately supported by the existing Eoundahon pravided �he proposed <br /> mod.ifications are made to the existing foundation wall. The overat� condition of the <br /> structure is very gocxi cansidexing its age. It should be expected that the existing <br /> Eoundatian will set#le under tihe new loading coriditions and soiI backfilling <br /> introduced from the remod�l/addition.
