Roseland Community Center Project # 17-0201 August 15, 2017 Wall Systems: • MBV Engineering, Inc. recommends the complete removal and replacement of all interior drywall on the east and south wall. During this process all wall members should be reviewed for any possible damages due to termites or moisture and should be removed and replaced as deemed appropriate. Also, any areas missing insulation shall have insulation installed. • The north gable wall shall be repaired and if appropriate retrofitted per the Florida Building Code — Existing Buildings 5th Edition. The sheathing on this gable end has been determined to be of poor condition and will require an entire replacement. An entire rebuild of this wall should be considered. • The lap siding on the wood framed structure is damaged in many areas and will need to be removed and replaced in these areas. Also, all of these walls will need to be repainted. We estimate 35% of the siding will require replacement. All of the. walls shall be water blasted, cleaned, sealed and then repainted with an acrylic paint. • The cracks in the masonry walls shall be patched with appropriate epoxy materials per manufacturer's recommendation based on crack width and depth at each area. Caulking the cracks smaller than 1/8" with an appropriate sealant is very important in reducing potential damage to the structural components and also in preventing moisture from entering the structure. • The interior headers need to be retrofitted or new code compliant headers installed. Two of the three headers are currently deflected well beyond code tolerances. Doors: • The main entrance door needs to be reset so it is plumb and properly seals the structure when closed. This should be done after the structure has been raised. • The existing landing and ramp in front of the main entrance shall be completely removed. The existing sidewalk shall also be removed. A new sidewalk shall be installed at an elevation to bring it flush with both doors. The area of new concrete can be found in Appendix B. Exterior Findings: • The exterior findings show the adjacent parking lot and sidewalks are all sloping towards the structure. It appears this is contributing to the rotted sheathing at the bottom of the structure as well as the erosion of the slope seen at the southeast corner of the structure at the time of inspection. MBV Engineering, Inc. proposes installing a block retaining wall or concrete curb and leveling off the parking area. This wall will also aid in preventing water from sheet flowing towards the structure and down the adjacent slope to the back of the structure. MBV Engineering, Inc. also proposes adding a storm water inlet and piping system to carry water past the eastern slope to help combat future erosion problems. The location of these items can be seen on sheet S7 in Appendix B. • The stairs on the west side of the structure shall be removed and properly redesigned and built to meet all of today's codes and standards. As they currently stand, the stairs are not code compliant and also un -level. 7
