Box 1490 Minneapolis, Mn. 55440 Re: Claim o. 4 93 4134 1300 Shorline Dr rono, n. Attn: Mr. Steve Prasser �� 5�� 3` �� Dear Mr. Prosser. At your request the undersigned has investigated the referenced fire loss claim for the purpose of determining the foundation condition and its adequacy for use in the rebuilding of this home. Date of loss is unknown to me at this time. This is a one story wood frame home with a tuck under 3 car garage. I would estimate the age of the original structure at about 60 yrears. The home would appear to have been added to several times. In fact there is an excavated area in the southwest corner indicative of an in progress � addition. I would not hazard a guess at the age of the additions. Damage to the superstructure inlcuded virtually the whole house. Damage to the lower level was not as extensive,with areas to the north and east undamaged. In my judgment the foundation walls can be used in the reconstruction of this home. This � recommendation is made subject to the following: 1. Presumably there is an architectural plan indicating the nature of the in progress work that is proposed to the southwest comer of the home. Further that this plan was subject to review by the Building Official and a building permit issued. Absent the foregoing, it is a condition that a building permit be obtained. (The existing wall footing has been exposed during the excavation f�r:h� aw�itEon i^ an �:nacceplw�lp mar.ner, i.e. the ex�ava!�on hws bee!? m��+e 5elqw an� immediately to the edge of the existing footing, excavations below existing footings should not come closer than 2 units horizontal for every unit of cut below the existing footing.) 2. Vertical separations in the exterior foundation wall were noted on the north and west foundation walls. These separations and any other cracks found should be repaired. 3. At the northwest comer of the home is an addition built over a crawlspace. The top of the concrete footing in this area is visible on the exterior. It must be ascertained that this footing does extend the minimum distance (3'-6'� below grade for frost protection. 4. At such time as the debris is cleaned out another inspection should be made to determine if other corrective work needs to done.
