Lueder~an <br /> <br />BUILDING iNSP[C¥1ON <br />(503) 588-$q 47 <br /> <br />PLANNING & <br />ENFORCEMENT <br /> <br />8OARD OF <br />COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />October 28, 1992 <br /> <br />Vincent and Charlene Roberts <br />14081 Cessna St. NE <br />Aurora, Or 97002 <br /> <br />New carport a~d rebuilt roof for sawing room <br />14081 cessna St. NE, Aurora - Site no. 92-03672 <br /> <br />·his letter is a summary of our conversation on october 27, 1992 in <br />regard to above mentioned site. <br /> <br />The inspector's report states that the minimum setback from the <br />closest building shall be 6 feet per Marion County Zoning Department. <br /> <br />After our conversation about the construction of the carport, I <br />informed you that the carport did not comply to code requirements as <br />built and that it was my recommendation that the carport be removed. <br /> <br />You requested what other options you had. We will accept stamped <br />engineering calculations which address our concerns and the enginee- <br />r's recommendations for any possible repairs which could bring the <br />building into compliance. The engineer (or architect) shall be <br />Licensed by the state of Oregon to practice as such. <br /> <br />This is not our ra¢o~endatlon but an option you do have. <br /> <br />The carport has some major structural problems and does not comply <br />with code requirements as it now stands. The 3x4 rafters are spliced <br />in the center with bolts which is not acceptable without engineering <br />calculations for the connection and the rafters are overspanned for <br />their size. The grade and species of the rafter material is unknown <br />as they came out of an eld barn and were used for the floor in the <br />barn. The inspector's report indicates that the rafters are sagging <br />at the splice. The minimum rafter size for the 10 foot span is 2x6 <br />Douglas Fir #2 rafters at 24" on center minimum. <br /> <br />The new 10 foot wide carport roof is supported by the existing 2x8 <br />beams ~panning 8'-9" which are also supporting the existing 10 foot <br />wide covered porch roof. The 2x8 beams are overspanned. They may <br />support the existing porch roe{ but not the additional ~oad from the <br />New carport roof. <br /> <br />The posts are treated with an unknown substance and are used material <br />from a barn. They are not pressure treated which is required. They <br />are in the ground 1 1/2 feet with concrete and attached to the 3x4 <br />beams on the exterior wall next to the property line with nails <br />toenailed into the post. NO hanger Or rigid connection is provided. <br /> <br />SenatOr Bsilding 220 High Street NE Salem, Oregon 9730]-3670 <br /> <br /> <br />
