<br />/~ <br /> <br />ARKAY ENGINEERING, INc. <br />structural engineers <br /> <br />September 8, 2000 <br /> <br />Randy Watson <br />36843 Perry Court <br />Dade City, FL 33525 <br /> <br />Re: Burnette Homes - Silver Oaks Village House <br />Arkay Engineering, Inc. Job # 355~ <br /> <br />Dear Randy: <br /> <br />At your request, I have reviewed the shearwall requirements on the <br />above referenced project. <br /> <br />It is my understanding that the contractor wishes to eliminate the <br />interior shearwalls and their supporting monolithic slab footings. This <br />can be accomplished by constructing the exterior walls as follows: <br /> <br />Nail all of the exterior 1/2" plywood wall sheathing with 10d nails <br />spaced at 3" O.C. along all horizontal joints and edges, 6" O.C. <br />along all vertical joints and edges and 12" o. C. along intermediate <br />studs. <br /> <br />Anchor the walls with Simpson "HTT16" tension ties in place of the <br />"LTT20B" anchors shown on the plans. <br /> <br />These revisions are structurally acceptable. If you need any further <br />assistance with these items, please give me a call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Inc. <br />Inspection Services <br /> <br />P.E. <br /> <br />Florida License # 37296 <br /> <br />5600 U.S. Hwy 98 North - Suite 2 - Lakeland,' Florida 33809 <br />Phone: 863-853-2711 Fax: 863-816-2118 <br />
