Re Manors of WeSt Clay, Lot 106, Stralnll100rMode!
Dear Mr, Fult/;,
At your request, on March 1, 2006, I visited lIle site referenoecl above to ob$llrve an mue asstllleed by
the municipal l)Ulldlng inspllCtor to be of ~natm.
Tne foundation on this site has been Installed. At the Ilme 01 my visit. the framers were removing the
basement wall bracing in preparation for beginning the first floor system Installation.
~
it is my undemanding that the foundation wall bracing was Installed the day after the backfill was
placed. Acoording to Section R404.1.7 of the Indiana Residential Code, basement walls either require
bracing or the first floor must be in place prior to the plaoement 01 the backfill.
~=;ponse
r he building inspector has a correct and valid code reference.
The basement walls on this site do not exhibit signs of adverse alf8ct$ due to the placement of the
backfill, Therefore they are acceptable without further adIon.
There are many offsets in the foundlltion 01 this model. SUb8equentiy the waNs are braced by other
intersecting waUs and there Iii al80 8UPPort provided by a eounterfol1~" the longer rear waU. The first
floor system should be installed a$ $OOf'I as possible to provide further support for the founClation 'Mdls,
Please contact I'tMI with any further questions or comments.
My opinion, stated hertlin, is limited to those Issues disamSE!d. other issues regarding 1I1e construction,
If any, are beyond the scope of this laII:er.
Regards.
