Site observations indicated cracking along all balcony edges. Contractor was instructed
to start chipping away at the edge until good rebar was found. The same instructions
were given for Unit 401. After extensive test chipping, it was determined that Unit 201
and 401 needed "complete removal. Based on these observations and with Association
approval, it may determined that Units 201 thru 701 will have full deck replacement,
unless it is determined during demolition that the existing condition of the steel
reinforcement will allow for deck repairs.

for Atlantis III by The Sea Condominium
Located at 10200 S. Ocean drive, Jensen Beach, FL 34957
The completed concrete restoration did not reduce the structural integrity of the remaining existing structural
systems and, therefore, a requirement to upgrade them by this permit was not warranted. Existing building's
components and elements outside the renovation area of this permit do not have their current wind load
resistant capacity or gravity load capacity compromised by the completed concrete restoration.
Mathers Engineering Corporation performed onsite inspections and reports to the building department as the
job progressed. Repairs required minor shoring. Work such as concrete repair and addition of steel
reinforcement was inspected. The enclosed Record Drawings (Sheets 1, 2 and 3) show the areas of
restoration and repair, and are made part of this final close-out document approval.
At the time the work was completed, Unit 201 had a full depth repair and the work has been completed. The
unit owner has failed to install new shutters. The Association has mandated that the owner of Unit 201 board
up the balcony deck during the entire hurricane season until they install new shutters.
Materials used an work performed to date has been substantially completed in conformance with the
specifications outlined in the IRCI Guideline No. 03730, as well as the applicable 2010 Florida Building
Codes and updates, other industry guidelines, or standard engineering practices.

Dear Mr. Durden:
This responds to your comments dated 11/16/2018 for the after the fact permit for those units
separated out from the original permit #1312-0243.
As requested, I have enclosed copies of our original signed and sealed threshold reports for concrete
restoration made to the units referenced above.
These original signed and sealed reports were filed timely under the prior concrete restoration
permit 41312-0243 as the work was being completed. Accordingly, we are providing the Building
Department with copies of our original threshold reports so that they may be filed under this new
after the fact permit. \\\\\\\\\ I I I I I Iq �,
