Steven:
Andy Schwaller asked me to forward to you the attached PDF digital copy of pre -fab steel drawings for the original shop
building at Bret Closs's property located south of Rifle (5175 Grass Mesa Road). Although we came across these pre -fab
steel building drawings, we didn't find the original foundation plans in our digital archive & apparently Bret can't find a
copy either.
You will note that the 11 x 17 size plans have each been scanned as (2) 8 %:" x 11" size sheets in this PDF. However, these
original plans do include the structural loads & column/frame reactions for the steel structure (see Sheet A3) and other
information that should be helpful to you in analyzing the existing concrete foundation. Bret has also said that he can
provide you with detail sketches of what he built back in 1998. We assume that Bret will be providing you with the new
steel building drawings (by a different Mfr. from the original structure), but if you need a digital copy of those new
drawings, please let us know.
On another — but somewhat related issue — do you recall receiving a call recently from Derald Bates, who has a
residence located at 133 Native Springs Drive in Rifle? He is also seeking assistance from a Structural Engineer to help
him get a building permit for a partially completed pole barn structure. Like Bret Closs, we have told him that we need to
see a Structural Engineer's certification that the structure meets our building code requirements. Not really sure if
Derald has contacted an Engineer, but if he hasn't, would you be interested in speaking with him about his project? Or if,
by chance, you have already visited with him, please let me know.
Thanks,
Dave Argo
