RE: Lot 16, Whalers Cove (918 Sandy Cove Lane), Fort Collins, Colorado
Gentlemen:
We have visually observed the existing home at the above -referenced residence. This site was
originally visited on April 23, 1998. Subsequently, plans were submitted to our office.
A 24' x 14' addition is to be constructed to the back of the residence. This will require that a new
foundation be constructed. It is likely that the existing foundation is spread footings. Since it is
important to match the existing, we provisionally recommend a standard thirty (30) inch frost wall
supported by 8" x 16" footings. Reinforcing in the wall will be two (2) #4's top and bottom. Four
#4 bars of 2'-0" in length will be doweled a minimum of six (6) inches into the existing foundation,
equally spaced vertically. A 23'-9" opening will be cut into the wall of the main floor. This will
require a W 12x45 steel beam to support 34'-0" of tributary roof load and 8'-0" of tributary second
floor load. A minimum of four (4) 2x4 studs supporting the beam are required at each end. We
recommend that our firm perform an open hole inspection to verify soils conditions and existing
foundation type.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call.
Respect I�r,
Kevi . Patterson, P.E.
