CONSULTING <br />ENGINEERS PACIFIC NORTHWEST ENGINEERING INC. <br />NEE ai Ni- <br />March 07, 2023 <br />#23-015 <br />City of Everett Permit Services <br />Drew Martin, P.E., S.E. <br />3200 Cedar Street <br />Everett, WA 98201 <br />Subject: Permit # PW2212-018 at 2712 HEWITT AVE <br />Site: 2712 Hewitt Ave <br />Everett, WA <br />Mr. Martin, <br />In response to the repair work stoppage on the above noted project, the following <br />information and plans are being submitted for approval. <br />The scope of the repair work proposed is for the restoration of the existing brick masonry <br />on the upper section of the north wall. The building is two story, constructed in 1915 <br />with approximately 2,800 square feet of area on each floor level. The lower level <br />construction is continuous concrete spread footings with 12" thick concrete exterior walls <br />and a concrete slab -on -grade floor. The upper floor is framed using 4"x14" DF joists 16" <br />on center with 1 "x 6" shiplap board floor sheathing. The upper level exterior perimeter <br />walls consists of a double wythe unreinforced brick masonry that extends up to <br />approximately one foot above the roof sheathing on three sides. The roof framing <br />consists of 2x12 rafters with lx6 shiplap boards and 1/2" plywood sheeting under the <br />rolled asphalt roofing material. The roof slopes downward from the buildings front side <br />(North) down to the back side (South). <br />The north and south unreinforced masonry walls are non -load bearing which do not <br />support tributary roof loading. It appears the north wall experienced out of plane forces <br />that caused damage to the brick assembly. The damage could have occurred during the <br />magnitude 6.8 Nisqually earthquake in 2001. The damage to the north wall is localized <br />to areas where the ceiling and roof diaphragm(s) intersect with the front brick wall <br />approximately nine feet above the second -floor level and above the second -floor window <br />lintels. <br />Pacific Northwest Engineering Inc. <br />3118 Judson St. #366 <br />Gig Harbor, WA 98335 <br />Phone (425) 879-3437 <br />
