The existi�g con�$truction af the peoperty is a s�ngEe <br /> st�ry �rood f�rned hause with masanry�ct�r��rete biock) u�r�iEl c�a�rl space foundafian. The exis€ing; <br /> found��an fs st�itabie f�r support of the new propossd two-s�ory hause. The r�ew s�tr�c�ture shc��id <br /> ���e a� in#erior ���m fine"to sup�or� the main fioor witf� �e e�teriar walls used �o s�apport the <br /> second floor and roof framing. The existing foundation walls should be repointed in areas where <br /> cracking has occurred and stair step cracking areas shall be reinforced with #5 dowels grouted into <br /> vertical cores at the crack in the south-each corner and any other areas of stepping cracks of the <br /> wall. Please provide the proposed plans (including floor and roof truss shop drawings) so I can size <br /> � the interior footings to minimize differential movement between the new footings and existing <br /> foundation. <br /> The plans I reviewed from Autumn Design show new foundation for the porch on the west end of the <br /> building. In this area there is a perimeter foundation wall in place. It is my recommendation to use <br /> the existing foundation and add interior footings as needed to support the floor instead of providing <br /> new piers and footings as shown on the current plan. ` <br /> On May 8, 2009 I was informed that the main floor level will have to raise 2.6' per the city of Orono. <br /> The existing foundation is sufficient to support this change. This would be best accomplished by <br /> adding 3 courses of concrete block to the top of the existing wall. <br /> Please feel free to share this letter with the local building official and builder as required. You may <br /> contact me at (320)259-6575 if you have any further questions or comments regarding this matter. <br /> Sin y <br /> yan• eavert, P.E.
