While <br />some of the components# per plan 4/Xl oould be verified, many <br />details suoh as beam dimensicis and supporting piers could not be <br />fully addreoeed during this i-.«pection. Although the original (west <br />section) is expected to cerry less loading for the now construction, <br />some section.^ of the foundation may lack uniform capacity and the <br />etruotural components appear to be less substantial then those <br />observed within the newer eas: addition. We would therefore <br />anticipate the installation oC additional floor joists and supports, <br />as already recommended by the contractor. <br />In our opinion, based on the >xfocesventionad tast and observations, <br />the subgrade aolls below tho residence would he expected to moot or <br />exceed the loadbaaring ragulrements for the proposed construction. <br />Uo would however anticipate tlia addition of some etruotural <br />alaments, primarily within thi vast section of the residence, as <br />part of the naw oonatructlon. Also, we would recommend a review by a <br />structural engineer as part ot the overall construction plan. <br />Sinoarely, <br />Instant Tooting company <br />Gary SVandlsh <br />Senior Bnginaarint/Xnapector <br />CC: Perry (Fax: 652-473-3396) <br />#701 - 1 / 1605 - 2 / #306 (1) DCP / #612 - 53
