On June 24, 19760 it was brought to our attention that due to grading requirements, the foundation walls to be constructed in the slab on grade area (garage) would be approximately six feet (6') high. For ease of construction, the concrete contractor (Kiefer Concrete, Inc. ) suggested constructing a twenty-six inch (26") deep by twelve inch (12") wide footing with a 3'-10" high, eight inch (8") wide foundation wall resting on the footing (wall do-weled and/or keyed to footing). In lieu of the originally recommended 8" x 8" footings; the above sug- gested twenty-six inch (26") deep by twelve inch (1.2") deep footing with the 3'-10" deep by eight inch (8") wide foundation wall, which satisfies the design criteria and recommendations developed in the "Report of a Soils and Foundation Investigation`I for the area, may be used. The footings should be continuous around the right and left side walls and the rear wall. Two 3'-0" (4" x 12") voids equally spaced in the rear wall stiould be provided.
