Hello Mario and Mic,
Thank you for your recent submission of new materials for the PENA residence in Grass Mesa.
Correction items 2, 3 and 4 have now been addressed.
When reading through the AMENDED Architectural sheets AL.O and A2.L- l, unfortunately, did not find enclosed - an
accompanying RESCheck report? I find the architectural sheets, the Manual J Report and the Geotechnical
lnvestigation report, but no RESCheck report for PENA? When the RESCheck report is made available, please forward
copy to me at cwirth@garfield-countv.com.
Thanks, have a wonderful New Yearl
