During our building inspection it was confirmed that the existing railing at each balcony level met <br />the minimum height required by the code (97UBC) at the original date of approval. However, it <br />appears the minimum intermediate spacing of the vertical pickets appear to be at or greater than <br />the minimum required four inches. Further, the railing method of attachment at some locations to <br />the building appears inadequate and will require further structural analysis to confirm structural <br />adequacy and/or corrective action. <br />It is our intent to apply for all the necessary permits, as required by the City of Everett, including all <br />supporting plans, calculations, and testing, as needed, to satisfy the code and building official. All <br />submittals and installation means/methods will be prepared under the direct supervision of a <br />Washington State Registered Engineer. <br />We look forward to working with the City of Everett and thank you for your guidance in this matter. <br />If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call. <br />Sincerely, <br />Glen Merkel <br />
