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.

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.

NOTES /COMMENTS:
Here is the repair necessary if the trusses do not have the full 2x8 bearing. The designer was
supplied with this sketch of how to design the ends. If the 2x6 plate was being used it was not
communicated to us. Note that 1 /4" x 4.5" SDS screws will be required for the repair. Please
forward this to Jeff the inspector. You may contact him at 651 - 675 -5680 and his fax is 651 -675
