Ka th I een Tiernan Markham <br />2054 San Pasqual Ave. <br />Pasadena, CA 9l 107 <br />RE: Existing building at rear of 902 N. Hain Street, Santa Ana, California. <br />Dea r Mrs. Ha rkham: <br />At your request we have examined the two buildings (front and rear <br />buildings) at the referenced address. We surveyed the buildings on <br />November ll and December 8, 1981. This lctter reports our findings: <br />The front building on the lot is probably of pre-1933 construction, <br />but has reinforced concrete walls and a roof of wood trusses and rafters, <br />A building of this type of construction is not included in the scope of <br />the o rd i nance. <br />The rear building has walls of unreinforced masonry but was extensively <br />reconstructed after a fire in late l95l . The reconstruction as determined <br />by our survey included cutting into the unreinforced masonry walls and <br />casting reinforced concrete columns into the chases. The original <br />building had horizontal concrete bond beams at levels that probably were <br />floor or mezzanine levels. These bond beams are intact and additional <br />horizontal bond beams were added at the top of the north and south walls <br />to stabilize the parapets. The west wall was reconstructed with reinforced <br />brick masonry filling in the existing openings and forming a reinforced <br />bond beam the full length of the west wall. <br />The roof framing of the rear building is modern wood trusses i.rith a <br />panelized plywood roof. This construction is equal to current construction <br />and was undoubtedly designed to support the walls in the event of an <br />ea rthquake. <br />ln conclusion, it is our opinion that neither of the two buildings <br />comprising the existing construction at 902 North Main Street are included <br />in the scope of the ordinance and no reconstruction for earthquake <br />hazard reduction wil I be required. lf you require additional information <br />on these existing buildings, please call us, <br />,7i <br />i--.1+,. <br />Very truly yourt, //,',/t--\/ // Y,:,,/L.- \€ ,/ l ' <br />tte l/y' Rose I und / <br />StrLctural Enqineer
