1162 Lexington Ridge Ct - Field Observation ReportARCHISTRUCTURES Jerry Pain's P.E. Structural Engineer 416 Hennepin Avenue East Minneapolis MN 55414 612 / 378 0393 (Voice) 612 / 378 3736 (Fax) 2 April 2009 Bob Peterson Peterson Home Repairs Dear Bob: At you request, I visited the site on Friday, 13 March 2009, at the above referenced address for site observations. Your primary concern, in anticipation ofthe City's inspection, was the following three structural issues: 1.) Metal studs at firewall: The firewall between units is framed continuously from the foundation below to the upper story roof with metal studs. Because the studs are non- loadbearing, it is sufficient to brace the metal studs at the floor and top plate of the wall. /912,0 T ?Ni FIELD OBSERVATION REPORT RESIDENCE 1162 LEXINGTON%RIDGE COURT EAGAN MN ARCHISTRUCTURES #0903-3 2.) Floor truss support at steel beams: At your suggestion, I am providing the attached Detail Sheet Dl to provide a more positive connection of the main floor trusses to the steel beam line which runs at roughly mid -span between the outer bearing walls. 3.) Crack in concrete wall: At the south concrete foundation wall of the basement, where the steel beam bears, a crack has formed in the wall directly below the beam. Since the design load which the beam would transfer to the wall is not large, in my judgment, the crack was most likely caused by initial shrinkage during the curing of the concrete. As a result, there is no significant compromise to the structural integrity of the wall. 4) Repair to main floor trusses at east bearing: I have',carefully observed and documented the actual repair to the trusses. Comparing this actual repair to the design drawing provided by the truss manufacturer -(Automated>. Building Components), I have noticed some differences. However, the differences do not affect the structural adequacy of the repair. And so, I approve of the completed repair. ARCHISTRUCTURES Jerry Palms P.E.
