This letter is in response to the information you obtained during your recent meeting with building officials at the Everett Building Department. The contents of this letter are consistent with the comments provided by the reviewer. In our opinion, the west wall in question is not a substantial contributor to the lateral force resisting system of the structure as a whole. To our knowledge, the building has not encountered substantial structural damage to the vertical elements of its lateral force resisting system. The west wall, in my view, would account for at most about 4% of the existing lateral force resisting system. (A nearby significant existing wall is located parallel to the wall in question, and about 6 feet away.) Therefore, the estimated lateral loads contribution of the wall falls below the 33% threshold to trigger substantial structural damage, and code section 606.2.2 does not apply to this project or plans as a result. This repair should fall under code section 606.2.1, and since the wall has been restored to its pre-damaged condition, it is our opinion that no further design or construction for that wall is required under the provisions of the current building code.
