The master bedroom is an octagon in plan and the roof rafter framing <br /> above is steeply pitched(22:12) and forms a turret or a `witches hat' in elevation. Each <br /> rafter consists of an upper member whieh connects at the peaic and a lower spliced <br /> section ��vhere the roof pitch flattens and bears on the exterior wall. At the bearing ends, <br /> the raRers have a standard birdsmouth cut and aiternate rafters are fastened with metal <br /> hurricane clips fastened to the wall f�r added wind resistance. At the `splice', the rafters <br /> are mitered and reinforced with '/�"osb gussets glued and stapled each side. Due to the <br /> extreme pitch, the primary loading on this roof is wind load with some accumulation of <br /> snow at the lower section of the rafters. <br /> Accc�rding to my inspection and analysis, the roof framing as described above will be <br /> structurally acceptable and meets or exceeds the design load requirements of the State of <br /> Minnesota Building Code (1997 Uniform Buitding Code}. <br /> Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments regardin�this report or if i <br /> can be of any fatther service. A copy of this report should be forwazded to the local <br /> Buiiding lnspector. <br /> SincerelY, `����.���P`�'U"nGrn�S����� <br /> . <br /> �o`� � � ..... �J,'��4ii <br /> �� '� �� .:T �i <br /> Stroh Engineering s`k,�:•' ' ,O*� <br /> `� � � �:' REGISTERED ��� <br /> �--�t"� � o PROFESSIONAL ; _ <br /> Bernie Stroh P, . � � ENGINEER ; _ <br /> ' '�'J+�. 14269 .''��: <br /> . <br /> -,,.�j.••. .• ��,: <br /> 'ij � ••....y..••'��`� <br /> '','������//����itli�;t;`1����`\\\``� <br /> ILIE� uiu�Rl�l GIcuW►Y utyoo�i d[�cuic u� C(119 _ f1Y ��c�� ��, ���� �,,,�. ��,,, ... .... _ ... . _ <br />
