This letter is in response to your Correction Notice, dated August 10,2018. We <br /> have addressed the structural corrections only. <br /> 1a. Exit stair framing should be designed using 100 psf live load. <br /> A revised calculation package is provided, and the relevant revised beam and joist sizes have <br /> been included in the structural drawings. Design for new stairways has been provided <br /> because the existing stairways do not comply with building code requirements for riser and <br /> tread dimensions. <br /> lb. Provide guardrail calculations. <br /> Included with the new calculation package. (Caic page RP) <br /> 1 c. Provide lateral loads calculations related to a new wood framed walls on the west elevation. <br /> The added walls have been removed from the permit submittal drawings. The wall still shown <br /> on the west elevation is an existing wall. Our intent for this permit submittal is to document <br /> requirements for repairs to the existing structure. <br /> 1 d. Provide lateral loads design for the parapets. <br /> There are no new parapets proposed, and no significant changes to the extent, height, or <br /> construction of the existing parapets. The drawings have been revised to clarify that. We <br /> include some parapet details because dry rot deterioration of the parapet framing has been <br /> discovered in a limited number of areas. We expect that the repairs in those areas will consist <br /> of removal and replacement in kind of the damaged framing. For example, the proposed <br /> repairs may involve replacing individual wood studs of the parapet, or providing a new railing <br /> cap and flashing. No changes to the existing parapet or its connection to the roof structure <br /> are proposed. <br /> The intent of these corrections is that the structural portions of the drawings conform to the <br /> intent of the structural design and applicable structural codes. <br /> Sincerely, f,AN <br /> QrV;ASN/, S <br /> c G ; <br /> John S.Apolis,P. ., S.E. �� 23434 A � "f <br /> Principal Engineer,CSES,Inc. � r <br /> ���L'\ . <br />
