VJA 98223 SubJect: Existing Warehpue StcucNre 2205 Wall StroG, Everett, WA Dear Bill: I have attachcd my evaluatiat statemrnt fa the subject strucnue. 'li�e structure is ducribed on calculation shcet 1, 'il�e evaluatia� procedure was bascd upon the NEHRP Handbook jor the Seismic Evaluatron ojExisting Buildings (BSSC, 1992). My site visit was pafortned on Oc[oba 19. I evaluated thc both the walls and roof diaphragm based on the criteria contained in the NEHRP. Hoth proved satisfactay. 'Ihe only parntial item of signiHcance is the wall-to-roof diaphragm connection. It appears tliat lataal load shear vansfa would benefit &om a more direct load path. It is my undastanding that you intrnd to voluntarily re-point daai�ated mortar joints. My reinforcemrnt of the wall-to-raof diaphragm load path would also be voluntary. l lmow of no codc requirement to accomplish this wak without a change in occvpanry, The structure has paiormed adequately for [he past 80 years. Furtha voluntacy upgrades ro thc swcture should be evatuated reladve ro this historv. Should you decide to procecd, l would appreciate the opportuniry ro provide design services. RespectfullY� � B.
