Moseley Residence <br />Ulteig Project No. 09.01410 <br />June 16, 2009 <br />Page2 <br />OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS <br />1. The following information was obtained through a site visit by Nick Hanson, PE of Ulteig on <br />Thursday, June 11, 2009 and architectural drawings submitted by Ben Nelson of NRDI dated <br />June 8, 2009: <br />a. The existing single family residence is a split-level structure with masonry foundation <br />walls and wood framed superstructure. The residence is a walkout to the rear of the <br />structure on the lake side. <br />b. The two-stall, tuck-under garage has living quarters above at the front of the residence. <br />Grade is approximately 3' -0" up from the slab at the rear garage wall. Grade is even <br />with the slab to the right of the garage. The left wall is shared with the house. <br />c. The existing foundation walls are constructed of 8" concrete masonry units around the <br />perimeter of the garage and house. Maximum grade at the left side of the house <br />appeared to be up 4 feet from the basement slab. The footing was not exposed or <br />inspected. A majority of the interior foundation walls were covered with finished <br />materials and not visible at the time of the site visit. <br />d. A vertical crack approximately ¼" wide was noted at the rear garage foundation wall. <br />The crack was reported to be in the location of a past expansion and appears minor in <br />nature. <br />e. A vertical crack approximately ¼" wide was noted at the right side of the garage <br />foundation wall where no grade is present. The crack steps approximately two feet <br />from the top of the wall down to grade. The crack appears minor in nature. <br />f. The existing roof is built of rafter construction with different sloped roof pitches <br />throughout the structure. <br />g. Three existing steel beams span front to back and support the main level floor loadi ... ·tg. <br />These beams cantilever out over the exterior foundation wall and support a porch at <br />the main level. <br />h. No geotechnical exploration has been performed or planned. Ulteig will use 1,500 <br />pounds-per-square foot as an allowable soil bearing pressure unless noted otherwise. <br />STRUCTURAL REVIEW <br />2. A structural review of the existing foundation wall condition as well as the future framing <br />requirements of the proposed addition was completed. The existing foundation walls were <br />found to be in adequate condition as described above to support the current Code requfred <br />loading requirements. The preliminary, conceptual drawings submitted appear to induce <br />RECEIVED <br />JUN 1 7 2009 <br />CITY OF ORONO 1
