Mr. Bazail,
At the contractor's request to inspect and revise the proposed retrofit anchors as required by FEMA publication
P-804 (December 2010) entitled "WIND RETROFIT GUIDE FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDIGNS", please consider
the following comments:
1. Proposed improvements are as delineated by FEMA P-804 4.1.2 as improvements without roof
covering replacement.
2. In early years, it was customary to strap one every other joist.
3. The proposed retrofit plate, Simpson LGT-2 retrofit plate, as installed, meets and exceeds the FEMA P-
804 requirements fiDr saddle type connectors.
It is my professional opinion that the Simpson LGT-2 connectors were installed as per manufacturer's
recommendations, and those connectors will add resistance to uplift forces in the event of a storm. Connector
installation as installed, meets the minimum requirements of FBC 2017, the valid code at the time the building
permits were obtained for improvements delineated by SALTO ARCHITECTURE dated 10-14-20 and with latest
revision on 1-29-21.
Should you need any further information, or if further clarifications on these issues are still required, please
contact the undersigned.
Respectfully,
TABIO ENGINEERING CORP.
