Roseland Community Center Project # 17-0201 August 15, 2017 The equipment used in this inspection was a digital camera, thermal camera, 4' long digital laser level, steel tape measure, fiberglass long tape measure, camera scope, laser transit, and a self - leveling laser. 3. Description of Structure The Roseland Community Center is located on Bay Street in Indian River County and consists of a single story structure with a crawl space and basement storage. The front of the structure faces the south. The building is square shaped and has both a gable roof and two flat roofs. The gable roof utilizes hand framed roof trusses and the flat roofs utilize hand framed roof joists. The structure utilizes a wood subfloor with heavy timber joists supported on heavy timber beams. These beams are sitting on wood piles or masonry piers with reinforced concrete footers. The original walls are wood framing and the west addition utilizes unreinforced masonry units. The basement also utilizes unreinforced masonry units. The original wood frame structure was constructed in 1926 and is currently classified as a community room with an assembly occupancy rating. The structure was originally constructed at another location and then moved to its current location at a later time. The original porch on the north side of the structure was enclosed and a section of it converted into a bathroom. In the 50's an addition was added on the west side of the structure which included a basement storage area. In 2016 the foundation was reinforced on the east side utilizing helical piers to prevent the continuation of excessive settlement noted on that side of the structure. The total habitable area is 1,404 square feet. The information in this section was compiled from the Indian River County Property Appraiser, conversations with Roseland representatives and through review of building permit information. 4. Discussion of Site Visit Representatives of MBV Engineering, Inc. inspected and evaluated the damaged structure on July 7, 2017 and July 28, 2017. The structure was visually observed and non-destructively examined to detect the extent of the damages to the structure. The areas effectively inspected were the roofing system, floor system, windows, wall systems, doors, and sidewalks Limitations which were not included in this analysis or report are as follows: • Concealed items were out of the scope of this work other than what was readily accessible by way of previously exposed elements. Several ceiling tiles were removed in order to determine the framing system for the roof components. It was neither practical nor economical to remove and replace all the existing building components or equipment to review every individual item. Conditional assumptions had to be made to accommodate and not disrupt the existing operations of the building. 3
