Dear Seth:
Subject: Foundation Evaluation -1851 CR 306, Parachute, Colorado
You provided me a sketch of the foundation system that you have already constructed and intend to
use for the support of a wrap-around porch cover addition to your home at 1851 County Road 306 near
Parachute, Colorado. The system may be briefly described as 12 -inch diameter concrete -filled
sonotube piers spaced a varying intervals around a perimeter that is offset 7'-6" from each of the
home's exterior walls. The piers are capped with a concrete patio slab. The sketch you provided is
reproduced and titled Foundation Plan in my construction drawing (dated 8/15/2017).
Having reviewed the foundation and the Geotechnical Report by Huddleston -Berry (dated 12/20/2016),
it is my determination that the foundation as constructed is adequate to support all loads from the
proposed porch cover.
Sincerely,
Vance V. King, PSE
