PUNNING, ENVIRONMENTAL PERMmlNG <br /> <br />January 4, 1993 <br /> <br />Mr. David Rushlow, Pastor <br />Souths ide Church of Christ <br />37737 "c" Avenue <br />Zephyrhills, Florida 33541 <br /> <br />RE: Renovation of Medical Building <br />for new church <br /> <br />Dear Pastor Rushlow; <br /> <br />I have inspected the existing roof trusses in the building you are <br />renovating for a new church. Several trusses have been altered by <br />the previous building owner in order to provide a storage room in <br />the attic of the building. Alteration of these trusses was accom- <br />lished by removing the center two diagonal web members. Approxi- <br />mately 12 to 15 inches ot the ends of the diagonal web members <br />together with the metal gusset plates are still in place. <br /> <br />An acceptable method of repair would be to remove all sheetrock <br />from the modified room area. Reconstruct the diagonal web members <br />by replacing them with 2 x 4 members overlapping the remaining ends <br />ot the original members. The new members are to be connected to <br />the remaining ends by installing (2) 5/16" bolts with flat washers <br />at each overlap. All existing horizontal and vertical framing from <br />which sheetrock has been removed, can remain in place. <br /> <br />It you have any questions or encounter any difficulties during <br />repair ot the trusses, please call me. Thank you. <br /> <br />Ver~ Truly Yours, <br /> <br />..2ft;-=? -~~ <br /> <br />G~a...!d~.
