The City of Springfield Building Official has stated that he will accept the added portions of the structure (those parts constructed without permitting) based on an engineers report which certifies compliance with the building code, and a recorded document atesting to the circumstances, following the format included in attachment "A" following this report. After our initial site inspection, we determined that the following work was required: 1. A beam was required to be inserted through the gable end of the addition to support the roof framing above, and correct an over-span condition. A detail of this was provided. 2. . The roofing over the addition required up-grading to meet Code requirements. We recommended a single-ply modified bitumen ("torch-down") as supplied by a licensed roofing contractor, meeting Code requirements for class B roofing. ( A single-ply PVC, also meeting Code requirements, was installed). 3. Concrete pier footings were required under bearing walls as indicated by a detail by Branch Engineering. 4. Electrical wiring in the attic spaces required proper attachment and electrical service equipment and splice boxes needed covers attached. 5. Plumbing vent pipes required a positive slope toward the sewer to avoid trapping condensate or rainwater. The above work was completed and inspected by Branch Engineering. Plumbing and electrical work was completed by licensed tradesman and their repo,rts are attached. Based "- SURVEYING /' TRANSPORTATION CIVIL / / on the above, the addition meets applicable provisions of the State ot Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling Specialty Code. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. I enc: Wildwood Plumbing I KS Electrical Consultants Attachment "A II
