I also ceviewed the plans <br /> provided by Autumn Design {dated 11l21/08). The existing construction of #he property is a single _ <br /> story wood framed house with masonry (concrete block) wall crawi space foundation. The existing <br /> foundation is suitable for support of the new proposed two-story house. The new structure should - <br /> have an interior beam line to support the main f[oor with the exterior waAs used to support the <br /> second fioor 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. Pfease provide the proposed plans (including floor and roof truss shop drawings) so I can size <br /> the interior #ootings to minimize differential movemeni befinreen 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. I# is my recommendation to use <br /> the existing foundation and add interior footings as needed to support the floor instead o# providing - <br /> new piers and footings as shown on the current plan. <br /> Please feel free to share this letter with the iocal building official and builder as required. You may - <br /> contact me at {320)259-6575 if you have any further questians or cvmments regarding this matter. <br /> Sinc ly • <br /> �, , - <br /> BaV@I't P.E.
