Dear Mr. Schwab:
This letter concerns our review of plans for an enclosed porch addition to the dwelling at
the above referenced address. On September 20, 2016, you provided plans for the porch
addition. You requested we review the plans to determine:
1. If the foundation pies will support the building design loadings.
2. Will the gable end wall bracing meet structural wind loading requirements to
prevent racking.
We have calculated the 24" diameter foundation piers bearing on soils with a 2000 psf
soil contact bearing pressure will support the building design loadings.
Wind pressure loadings on the addition will be partially resisted by the outside wall on the
right side of the addition. The existing structure will help prevent racking loadings on the
gable end with the windows. It is our opinion the gable wall bracing detail shown on
Sheet 3 of plans dated September 18, 2016, will meet the minimum engineered design
requirements in accordance with Section 301.1.3 of the 2015 Minnesota Building Code
Requirements.
Respectfully,
Professional Engineering Co sultants, Inc. o®
