You requested that we <br /> design repairs to the building and provide plan specifications for two new taller storefront <br /> windows and one new entry door. Our design is based on the Prescriptive Compliance <br /> Method included as Chapter 4 of the IEBC. Our repair drawings titled,"State Farm Office <br /> Vehicle Impact Damage Repair"(originally dated January 8,2020,with Revision I dated in <br /> February 2020)include specifications for new building elements that are intended to meet <br /> the current code requirements but are limited to;energy efficient windows,an energy <br /> efficient door with ADA hardware and new wall framing. Reviews of the building's overall <br /> lateral and gravity systems have not been made,nor have global upgrades for structural or <br /> accessibility elements been included in the design. <br /> OBSERVATIONS <br /> The subject building is a one-story,wood-framed structure situated along the sidewalk that <br /> parallels the east side of Broadway Avenue in Everett, Washington. The building has <br /> overall dimensions of 50' by 30',with the long axis oriented in the east-west direction. The <br /> vehicle impacted the southwest corner of the building. The damage is as follows: <br /> • Approximately 2' of the full height wall framing is damaged along the south end of <br /> the west wall and adjacent to an existing window. <br /> • Approximately 4' of wall framing is damaged along the west end of the south wall. <br /> SUBSTANTIAL STRUCTURAL DAMAGE <br /> Substantial Structural Damage is defined in Section 202 of the IEBC as... <br /> A condition where one or both of the following apply: <br /> 1. In any story, the vertical elements of the lateral force-resisting system have suffered <br /> damage such that the lateral load-carrying capacity of the structure in any <br /> horizontal direction has been reduced by more than 33 percent from its pre-damage <br /> condition. <br /> 2150 NORTH 107n STREET,SUITE 320 I SEATTLE,WASHINGTON 98133 <br /> 192s1 Iv code 2/5/20 www.patenpleeh.com I PIE 216-281-7500 <br /> 1 <br />
