RE: Roesch Property/Surfpointe Project
Initial Building Permit Submittal Packet
Dear Anne:
We have submitted the Roesch Property (Surfpointe) construction documents and plot
plans to the Building Counter for processing today. The construction plans are consistent
with the conceptual plans that were approved by the Planning Commission in October of
1999 with minor modifications made to the construction plans necessitated by the update
to the Uniform Building Code (UBC). These modifications relate strictly to structural
considerations and emergency ingress and egress with the exception of several minor
adjustments that were made due to conflicts with the internal room layouts and to
eliminate a potential engineering problems (i.e.: point of leakage between a roof and
intersecting wall.
Listed below are a couple of examples that are typical of the types of UBC modifications.
We strived to keep the front elevations exactly as the Planning Commission approved
them on October 9, 1999. However, two of the front elevations were slightly modified to
be consistent with the Building Code. For example, one minor change can be seen on the
front elevation of the plan 3B. The approved conceptual plans dated 2/22/99, there were
three windows above the garage. However, for reasons of emergency ingress and egress,
the window configuration was revised to two larger windows.
Minor modifications were also made to the side and rear elevations for compliance with
the Uniform Building Code related to structural integrity. An example of this can be
found on the left elevation of the "plan 1". On the approved conceptual plans, there were
three windows shown in the lower left corner. We needed to eliminate the central
window to accommodate a shear wall. Another example of structural integrity is that a
floor plan configuration dictated a minor-modification in the (side/rear?) elevation of
"plan ?". Theconceptualplans show ^Iank7 blank^but due fo^blanklJJhe elevation now

The most significant change that we needed to make between the approved conceptual
plans and the construction documents can be found on the rear elevation of the plan 2.
The roof over the dining/living room was originally approved with a gable roof. The roof
type was modified to a hip configuration, which in turn lowered the roofline, by
approximately one foot. As a result this created a greater separation between the first and
second floor rooflines establishing the opportunity to add additional windows to the
second floor that provide natural lighting to the stairwell. This modification was
necessary to address a potential leakage problem between the intersection of the gable
roof and the second floor wall.
Please contact me directly with any questions or concerns that you may have at (760)

Sincerely,
