Thank you for meeting with me yesterday. After my last site meeting with Ron
Niemi and Greg Mauerman I forwarded an email to Ron requesting an evaluation
of the structure, see attached.
My concern was that a partial repair would not be sufficient to bring the current
structure into compliance with seismic and lateral requirements. Mr. Harold
Hahnenkratt's letter of January 20, 2010 satisfied my requirement of an
evaluation and confirmed my concerns that a partial repair will not meet seismic
or lateral requirements. I concur that replacement is the best alternative.
However, if you chose to repair the structure, the following with the Building
Permit Application will be required:
1. Five (5) Copies of Construction Drawing
2. Two (2) Copies of Engineering calculation for loading, seismic and
lateral forces.
3. Demolition Permit from Olympic Region Clean Air Authority (ORCAA)
for the sections of the structure removed.
4. Demolition, Safety Protection Plan and Engineered Plan for structural
stability during foundation replacement.
5. Site Plan for Utility location and connection to the structure
The plan review process will require an engineering peer review. The cost of the
review will be charged to you in the permit review fees. Anticipate a 4 to 6 week
review period.
The City of Yelm is an Equal Opportunity Provider
Replacement of the structure will require with the Building Permit Application;
building drawings, a site plan for building footprint, utility location, utility
connection and a Demolition Permit from ORCAA.
If you chose to build under the International Residential Code engineering will not
be required if you chose the prescriptive method. Anticipate a 2 to 3 week review
period.
As stated by the City of Yelm's Sewer Department a new step tank will be
required for the residence. Coordination of the step tank installation will be with
Jim Doty. He can be reached at 360 -458 -8411.
Due to non conforming setback issues, the requirement for rebuilding is that you
maintain the existing building footprint, The new residence will be credited with
the existing structure's, water, sewer, traffic and fire connection or impact fees.
If I can be of further assistance please feel free to contact me at 360 -458 -8407 or
at gAryc@ci,yeIm.wa.us. Thank you.
Sincerely
