Home My WebLink About#21217 - 12886 West Road Evaluation 4-8-21April 8, 2021 Dan Porzel/Anne Rendaci Cedar Street Builders Zionsville, IN 46077 Re: 12886 West Road – Zionsville, IN Structural Evaluation SCE Project #21217 Dear Dan and Anne, At your request, I met you at the home located at 12886 West Road in Zionsville, IN on March 26th , 2021 to carry out a structural evaluation of the home. The purpose of my evaluation was to observe areas of the home that you had concerns about after reviewing architectural drawings by Adam Gibson Design, LLC. My evaluation is based on observations made during my visit, photographs taken by me during my site visit, and the architectural drawings prepared by Adam Gibson Design, LLC dated 2- 20-21. The home at 12886 West Road is two-story wood framed home with a full basement. The home was built in 1996. The plans show that there will be modifications to the existing home that will have some affect on the structural floor and wall framing. Based on my observations, I believe there are a few structural items that should be added to the information in the architectural documents. Those items include a new beam and columns to remove a bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room, new structural framing to remove walls in the mudroom, and new structural framing to reconfigure walls in the upstairs bathrooms. My evaluation is broken down in the following sections:  Items discussed on the first floor (drawing A-3)  Items discussed on the second floor (drawing A-4) Items discussed on the first floor (drawing A-3) There are several walls that will be removed and relocated to open up areas for the new kitchen and mudroom. There will also be areas of first floor framing where the loading will be distributed differently than they were in the original design. These Silver Creek Engineering, Inc. April 8, 2021 Re: 12886 West Road – Zionsville, IN Structural Evaluation SCE Project #21217 Page 2 modifications can be seen on the attached A-3 drawing by Adam Gibson Design, LLC (with Silver Creek comments). Items discussed on site were as follows: 1. There will be a new opening in the kitchen/dining room that will require the removal of a bearing wall supporting second floor joist framing. This can be seen on the attached A-3 drawing by Adam Gibson Design, LLC (with Silver Creek comments). In order to remove the wall, a new beam and supporting columns is required. The new beam will be a 3 ply 1 ¾” by 12 ½” 1.8E, 2200 Fb LVL beam with (3) – 2x4 built up posts on each end. The existing 2x10 joists can either sit on the new LVL beam or frame into the side with new Simpson LU28 hangers. 2. The new kitchen will have an island that has granite countertops. Based on an email from Dan Porzel, this countertop and cabinetry will not exceed 20 pounds per square foot. I have analyzed the existing 2x10 joist framing at 12” spacing for the additional island load. The existing framing is adequate for the code required live loads and the countertop framing. There is the potential for a differential deflection of up to 1/8” between the joists loaded with the island and the adjacent unloaded joists. 3. There are existing decorative columns in the opening between the office and entry area. It is my understanding that those will be removed to install a new door. I recommend providing temporary shoring in the location of the decorative columns during removal to prevent any additional deflection in the second floor framing. 4. There are several walls between the kitchen and mudroom areas that are to be removed and relocated. New framing members are shown on the attached A-3 drawing by Adam Gibson Design, LLC (with Silver Creek comments). Based on field observations, the following supports will need to be added: a. There is an existing (3) – 2x10 in the mudroom that is supported by a wall that will be removed. This currently frames in to a single 2x10 joist. This joist will require two new 2x10’s sistered to the existing joist. b. There will need to be five new 2x10 joists installed to the east of this location in the mudroom. c. There are four new (2) – 2x10 headers required in the new closet area. Items discussed on the second floor (drawing A-4) There are several walls that will be removed and relocated to reframe the new bathrooms and the bedroom above the garage. These modifications can be seen on the attached A-4 drawing by Adam Gibson Design, LLC (with Silver Creek comments). Items discussed on site were as follows: 5. There are several walls in the new bathroom areas that are to be removed and relocated. The existing attic framing in the bathroom area spans to the interior Silver Creek Engineering, Inc. April 8, 2021 Re: 12886 West Road – Zionsville, IN Structural Evaluation SCE Project #21217 Page 3 partition walls, so there will have to be some portions reframed to obtain the new wall configuration. New framing members are shown on the attached A-4 drawing by Adam Gibson Design, LLC (with Silver Creek comments). Based on field observations, the following supports will need to be added: a. New 2x6 joist framing at 12” o.c. will need to be framed in the northwest corner of the bathroom area. b. Two new (2) – 2x6 headers will need to be added from wall to wall in the bathroom area to resupport existing attic framing. 6. There is an existing wall into a closet above the garage area that will have the opening widened. This will require a new (2) – 2x6 header over the opening framing into (2) – 2x4 posts on each side of the opening. 7. As part of the closet expansion, the knee wall will be built approximately 3’-6” past where it currently sits. Include the existing column ridge beam supports (shown in photo 7 on A-4) inside this new wall. I reserve the right to supplement this report as additional information becomes available. If I can be of further assistance please don’t hesitate to give me a call. Sincerely, Silver Creek Engineering, Inc. Jason A. Williams, P.E.
