Dear Mr. Dietz,
Pursuant to our telephone conversation, this letter is to state that the construction type of the subject
property is Type V•B, unsprinklered and that there will be no new construction to the project for the
Hickory Housing Authority other then the addition of sloping roofs built on top of existing flat roofs at
the front entrance porch.
The existing porch roofs are self supporting by an existing cantilever system from the second floor
framing. Since no additional support is structurally needed for the majority of the porch roofs, the
primary purpose of the columns indicated in the drawings is that of a decorative nature. However, there
has been some evidence of localized rot uncovered during past work at this site at a couple of the porch
roof locations. During this work we felt that some additional support was needed, so columns where
added. The drawings indicate columns to be added throughout only to provide a uniform look to the
entire property. j
The expansion anchors at the column base indicated in the drawings is a "belt and suspenders„
conservative approach to any additional uplift that may occur since the roof profile has been altered by
the new sloping roof. Our calculations show that the weight of the concrete pad at the front porch and
the allowable tension values of the four expansion bolts per column, 600 psi (without Special
Inspections), are more than adequate to resist uplift at the porches.
Also, the windows being replaced in this project are being installed in the existing openings without
any change to the rough openings. The existing window openings meet code requirements for
secondary means of egress from a sleeping room as required by 2009 NCBC 1026.1, 1026.2 and
1026.3.
