For Proposed New Nome at 710 Big Island, Minnetonka, MN <br /> Dear Mr. Pa1m: <br /> /�s requested, I have completed my inspection of the limestor�e baseme�t <br /> foundation walls at your property (ocated at 710 B�g Island ir� Minnetonka. You <br /> have indicated that it is your desire to reuss the remaining limestone foundation <br /> walls as much as possible which date from the original house built at this site. <br /> The limestone walls are all that remain of the original house. <br /> The proposed new house will archifiecturally replicate the exterior ofi the o�iginal <br /> house. Accarding to my calculations, with the additional new footings proposed <br /> for the interior of the basement, the exterior limestone walls which have a <br /> nominal thickness ofi about �8", will be structul�ally adequate for the loads <br /> imposEd �y �he nevv house. The top of the walls will need fo be leve�ed and <br /> rebuilt with stone sa�vaged from the site by a masonry contractor. To anchor the , <br /> � sill plate for the �ew floor joists, I r�commend drilling 6U into the top of the <br /> limestone walls and using '�" dia. x 8" long bolfis set with epoxy grout at a <br /> spacing not to exc�ed 48u. <br /> Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments �egarding fihis <br /> repvrt or if I can be of any further service on fihis project.
