Jeff,
They must have you on a 2O-year retainer. I hope you are well. I have the following questions regarding the yurt
1. Whatisthespecificuseofthestructure? lassumeitisaclassroombutdonotknowforsure. ltappearstobea
seasonal use maybe.
It is a classroom, year round use
1. Please verify the structure is not within the 35 ft. setback of a water way and not in a floodplain. I see the river
is well away but there appears to be a ditch or pond nearby.
It is outside the floodplain and more than 35' away from water
L. Verify R-Panel beam support layout on Sheet 002 works with what the engineer designed on Sheet S1.0. lt
appears some of the splices for the R panels are directly supported by the beam below with Sheet 002.
They worked together to create the layout. lt ¡s not essential to break the panels on the beam lines, the block splines
eliminate that need.
l-. Please verify final exterior finishes for floor system exposed to the outdoors
Subject:
1
Treated wood and Trex
1, Please verify the interior floor finish. OSB may not wear well and I would need to check on the flame spread
It will be finished w¡th bamboo flooring.
L.
2. I assume it is a standard detail but did not see the connection of the yurt to the R Panel floor system
Galvanized steel "L" bracket, 5" x 3" x 1.5" on 24"
centers. Attaches to deck with two 114" x 1" plated lag
screws; bolts to lattice wall with one 1/4" x 1.5" machine
screw and nylock nut.
I think that is it but will probably wake up to night with a few more thoughts
Andy
Thanks,
