STRUCTURAL BUILDING DESIGN. FIRE PROTECTION CODE CONSULTANT. PLAN CHECKING CONSTRUCTION INSPECTiON RE: 7290 Hollv. SDrina~;p10 - ~-~ax InsDl~~!~a Panels in Place on Sheathina - W.O. #5632 As you requested, an inspection was made to determine if the residence under construction is adequately braced to resist lateral. wind forces. At the time of. the inspection, the structure's exterior walls were sheathed with a combination of R-Max insulating board and oriented strand board (OSB). The One and Two Family Dwelling Code requires let-in bracing or a 4' wide structural sheathing panel at the end of each wall and at least every 25' of wall length. As was discussed with. you at the site, the following recommendations are made: 1. Install an OSB panel at the end of each wall (at corners). 2. At the west lower level wall, the entire wall is to be OSB. 3. At the north or rear wall at both levels, install a 4' panel at wall ends and a 4' panel at the center of the wall. I hope you find this report adequate for your purposes at this time. Please contact me if you have further questions. Thank you for this opportunity to be of service. Very truly yours, Emile Mortier, P.E. ECM/rc \ " , ' j
