The City and a potential ownership group wishes to have an independent structural review of the current condition of the house. DESCRIPTION The house is a one and half story, bungalow style farm house constructed in the early 1900's.

The following information was obtained through a site inspection on September 14, 2007 by Jason S. Hanlon, of Ulteig Engineers: a. The original structure is approximately 44 -feet long and 26 -feet wide. The addition is approximately 24 -feet long and 34 -feet wide. b. The ICF walls for the garage are in place. The walls are approximately 14' -2" tall. The concrete has been placed and rebar is sticking out of the top of the wall. There is no wall or floor framing above these walls. c. The ICF wall stops short of the northwest corner of the house. There is an approximate 3 -foot space between the I� wall and the corner of the house. The connection at the southwest corner of the house between the ICF and the block foundation could not be confirmed at the time of the site visit. d. The opening for the overhead garage door is located on the south side of the addition. e. The following is noted regarding the west wall of the house: i There is a 12 -inch, 8 course block knee wall intended to undermine the foundation wall of the existing house. The original foundation wall is no longer in place since it was reported that it collapsed shortly after the wall was undermined. ii. There is a 2x frame wall placed on top of the block knee wall supporting the floor framing of the main level of the house. This frame wall only extends along the full basement portion of the house and stops at the crawl space area.
