� Dear Mr. Grimm:
This letter is written in response to the Building Inspector's question regarding the relocation of the
south end wall framing and wall bracing.
The addition to the existing office which was permitted and constructed in 1998 was designed with an
expandable end wall to the south, in which the pre-engineered rigid frame was designed as a clear span
and the end wall framing was noted to be relocated in the future. Please refer to the note on the original
documents dated July 1998 which was permitted and constructed, and also a similar note on the more
recent Phase 4 addition on sheet S 1 which has also been permitted and constructed, noting that the same
end wall to be relocated. J
The design criteria has not been changed and the end wall framing was originally designed to support the
intended design loads as prescribed by the St. Lucie County Building Department.
If all the diagonal wall and roof bracing are in place as designed and specified by the Pre-engineered
Metal Building Designer, the location of the overhead doors are incidental and does not affect the
performance of the structure.
If you have any further questions, please give us a call.
Respectfully;
Michael A. Lue, -,.E.
