The followirtg 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, 20Q9: <br /> a. The existing single family residence is a split-Ievel struchzre with masonry foundation <br /> , walls and wood frarned superstructuxe.
