Daniel. I know we currently have a violation for driveway, porch, sidewalk repairs without a permit at 1001 NW N River Drive. We need to add another for concrete blocking in the garage without a permit.
Ray, I'm not sure if you order a stop work on this one yet? They have 4 items going on without permits.

We reviewed the steps in order to determine if they could support the code prescribe loads. Our findings are as follows . The 2007 FBe with 2009 amendments is the goveming code. As such the live load for residential steps is 100 psf. A 4" concrete slab conlfibutes approximately 50 psf. The factored load is 220 psf. We analyzed the concrete with #3 bars placed as shown, 2,500 psi concrete mix, and based on the cantilevered distance, 16", the concrete steps are capable of supporting the cooe prescribe loads. We hope that you find this infonnation helpful and should you have any questions please feel free to calion us. Respectfully submitted Specialty Engineering Consultants, Inc.

He was onc of the influential advocates of bringing rrndem architecture from custom residences and large corporate buildings to general puboc availability. His company and developments named "Eichler Homes" remain in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area arid Greater Los Angeles regions of western Califumia.

They aU came to be known as Eichlers or an Eichler. During thjg: pemd, Ei;Wer becarre one of the oation's roost influential builders of!IX)dern homes. The largest cootiguous Eichler HOlres development is 'The Highlands' in San Mateo, bum between 1956 and 1964. Unlike many developers of the post war housing boom, Joseph Eichler was a social visionary arid commissioned designs primarily for middle class An::£ricans. One oflm stated aims was to cocstruct inclusive and diverse planned coDIllllllities, ideally featuring integrated parks arid commmity centers. Eichler, unlike rmst builders at the time, established a noll-discrimination poocy arid offured homes lOr sale to anyone of any religion or race . In 1958, be resigned from the National Association of Horne Builders when they refused to support a non-discrimination policy. Design Eichler Homes· FOSler Residence, Granada Hills Joseph Eichler used well-known architects to design both the site plans and the holres therroelves. He hired the respected architect and Wright en.wikipedia. org.o\Yi kilJosep·U ':ichl or 114 3/22112 Joseph Eichklr - Wlklpedia, tI'Ie free encyclopedia d~ciple Robert Anshen of Anshen & Allen to design the initialEichlers, and the first prototypes were built in 1949. 10 later years, other Eichler Horres by other architects were built inclu Eichler hotres are from a branch ofMode~t architecture that has cotre to be known as 'Califurnia Modem," and typically reature glass walls, post-and-beam construction, and open floorplaos in a style indebted to Frank Lhyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Eichler Horres exteriors reatured flat and/or low-sloping A-Framed roolS, vertical 2-inch pattern wood siding, and spartan mcades with clean geometric lines. One of Eichler's signature concepts was to "Bring the Outside In," achieved via skylights and Ihor-to-ceiling glass windows with glass transolT6 looking out on protected and private outdoor rooms, patios, atriums, gardens, and switmning pools. The lrrtenors bad ~ro us lIDOrthodox and innovative reatw"es IDcluding. exposed post-and-bearn construction; tongue and groove decking !Dr the ceiling<; !Dllowing the roofline; concrete slab floors with integral radiant heating; luan paneling; sliding doors for rool"TS, closers, and cabinets; and a standard seco nd bathroom located in the rmster bedroom Later roode~ introduced the farrous EichJer entry atriums, an open-air enclosed entrance foyer designed to further advance the Eichler concept of integrating outdoor and indoor spaces. Eichler borres were airy and roodern in conparison to IIDst of the mass-produced, middle-class, postwar hOJres bemg buih in the 1950s. At first potential honx buyers, tm.Dy of whom were war-weary ex-servreroen and worren seeking convention rather than innovation, were resistant to the innovative hom:s. Eichler also faced cOl1".q)ctition from other developers who used stylistic elements of Eichler horoos in diluted and roore cooventional designs, later called "Eichleresque." Eichler HOJres never achieved large profits for Joseph Eichler. 10 M bK>graphy by Waher Isaacson, Steve Jobs credited living in an "Eichler Home" when growing up as the main inspiration for developing an aesthetic seosibi1ity !Dr the roode~t and !Dr the sirrple. That Steve Jobs lived in an Eichler was recently disproven by researchen; at the Eichler Network, who discovered and co ~d that Jobs' boyhood horoo was a similarly- styled mid- century rrodern by another buikler. Projects The Northern California Eichler HOIres arc predominantly in San Franc~co, Marin County, Sacramento, the East Bay towns of Walnut Creek, Concord, Oakland, Castro Valley, and the San Franc~o Peninsula towns of San Mateo, Redwood City, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, Mountain View and San Jose. The Southern Ca1ifurnia Eichler Homes developrrenlS are in Thousand Oaks, Granada H.iI5, and Orange.

Other projects Joseph Eichler also built semi-custom designs fOr individual clients by comm;;sion, such as three in Chestnut Ridge, New York. As a result ofsoaring land prices in the mid-1960s urban redevelopment projects becaJre popular, and Eichler began building Iow- and high-rise projects in San Franc i<>co's Western Addition aod HlDlters Point-Bayview districts, luxury high-riles and clwtered housing on Russian Hill and Diamond Heights. He also developed the suburban and trendsetting co-op colIlIIJJllities Pomeroy Green and Pomeroy West in Santa Clara. These large projects hegan to overextend the cOrTjJany, and by the mid-1960s, Eichler Honxs was in financial d~tress . The cOrTjJany filed fOr bankruptcy in 1967.

" The remark spurred the Kaufinanns' interest in something wor1hier. Fallingwater would become the end result.. The Kaulinanm owned property outside Pittsburgh with a waterfull and cabins they used as a rural retreat When the cabins deteriorated, Mr. Kau1imnn contacted Wright. In Noverrber 1934, Wright ""ited Bear Run and asked fur a survey of the area around the waterliill One was prepared by Fayette Engineering Fallingwater with falls Co~any of Uniontown, Pennsylvania including aU the site's boulders, trees and topography, and furwarded to Wright in March 1935. lttook nine rmnths fur his ideas to clj'Stallize into a design, quickly sketched up in titre fur a ""k by Kaufinano to Taliesin in September 1935[5][6] It was then ihat Kau1imnn first became aware ihal Wright inteoded to build the horne above the fulls,P] rather than below them to affurd a view of the cascades as he had expected[8] Design and construction The structural design for Fallingwater was tmdertaken by Wright in association with staff engineers Mendel GlickImn and William Wesley Peters, who had been responsible fur the colurms fuarured in Wright's revohttionary design fur the Johnson Wax Headquarters. PreliminaIy plans were issued to Kauli,."nn fur approval on October 15, 1935,[9] after whicb Wright made a further "". to the site and provided a cost estimate fur the job. In Deceoiler 1935 an old rock quarry was reopened to the west of the site to provide the stones needed fur the house's walls. Wright only made pemd" visits during construction, instead assigning tm apprentice Robert Mosher as his pem:ranent on-site representative.[9} The final working drawing'l were issued by Wright in March 1936 with work beginning on the bridge and main house in April 1936. The construction was plagued by con1licts between Wright, Kaufmann, and the construction contractor. Uncomfortable with what he saw as Wright's insufficient experience using reinfbrced concrete, Kaufmann had the architect's daring cantilever design reviewed by a firm of consulting engineers. Upon receiving their report, Wright took o!lense and immediately requested Kautinann to rerum his drawing'l and indicated he was withdrawing liom the project. Kaufmann relented to Wright's gambit and the engineer's report was subsequently buried within a stone waD of the house["] After a ""it to the site in June 1936, Wright rejected the stonemasonry oCd>e bridge, which had to be rebuiJt.[citafion needed) eo , wikipedia.orglwiIWFal~ngwater 3122112 Fallingwal&r - Wlkipedia, the lree encyclopedia For the cantilevered floors, Wright and his team used upside down T-shaped concrete sJab which both furmed the ceiling of the space below and provided resistance against cOlll'ression. The contractor, Waher HaD, a~o ao engioeer, produced DJdependent computatioos and argued fur increasing the reinfOrcing steel in the first floor's sJab. Wright refused the suggestion. Whik: some sources state that it was the contractor who quietly doubled the amount ofreinfurcerren~ltO] according to others,19] it was at Kaufinann's req""" that his consulting engineers redrew Wright's reinfOrcing drawing; and doubled the amount of steel specdied by Wright In addition, the contractor did not build in a slight upward incline in the furmwork fOr the cantilever to cOll1'eosate fOr the settling and deflection of the cantilever. Once the concrete formwork was rem::>ved, the caotilever developed a noticeable sag Upon learning of the steel addition without his appro va, Wright recalled Mosher.llt] With Kaufmann's approva, the consuhing engineers arranged fOr the contractor to install a supportiog wall under the main supporting beam for the west terrace. When Wright discovered tt on a site visit he had Mosher discreetly rem)Ve the top course of stones. WhenKauftnann The strong horizontal and vertical Jater confessed to what had been done, Wright sbowed him what Mosher lines are a distinctive feature of had done and pointed out that the cantilever had held up fur the past Fallingwater month under test loads without tile wall's support.lt2] In October 1937, the main bouse was completed. Cost The bome and guest bouse cost US$155,OOO,15]lt3] broken down as fOfIows: bouse $75,000; finishing and furni<;bing $22,000; guest bouse, garage and servants' quarters $50,000; arcbitecfs ree $8,000. The total project ptice of$155,OOO, adjusted fOr inflation, i<; the equivalent ofapproxirmtely $2.4 million in 2009'p 4j A rrore accwate reflection oftbe relative cost of the project in its tim::: is that the cost of restoration alone in 2002 was reported at $11.4 million. Use of the house Fallingwater was the fumily's weekend ho= from 1937 to 1963 . In 1963, Kau1imnn, Jr. donated the property to the Western Pennsylvania Cornervancy. In 1964, it was opened to the public as a museutn Nearly six million people have visited the bouse as of January 2008. Despite its location in a reroote comer ofPenosylvania (two bour.;' drive from Pittsburgh), the house (according to the infunmational pamphlet distributed on the grounds) currently hosts more than 150,000 visitors eacb year. lt ]] Style FaIlingwater stands as one ofWrigbt's greatest masterpieces both lOr its dynamism and for its integration with the striking natural surroundings. Wrighls passion fOr Japanese architecture was sttongly refiected in the design of FaUingwater, particularly in the importance ofinterpenetrating exterior and interior spaces and the strong errphasis en.wjkipedia . orgtwikilF al~ngwa lfN' 3fT 3122112 Fallingwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia placed on hanrony between ann and nature. Contemporary Japanese architect Tadao Ando bas stated: '1 think Wright learned the most inlJortant aspect of architecture, the treat:rrent of space, from Japanese architecture. Wben I visited F allingwater in Pennsylvania, I lilund that sam: sensibility of space. But there was the additional sounds of nature that appealed to me. ,,15] The extent of Wright's genius in integrating every detail ofhis design can only be hinted at in photographs. This organically designed private residence was intended to be a nature retreat for its O\Vllers. The bouse is Interior of Fallingwater depicting a well-known fur its connection to the site; it is built on top of an active sitting area with furnishings designed waterfull which flows beneath the house. The fireplace hearth in the living by Wright room integrates bouklers fuund on the site and upon which the house was built - ledge rock which protrudes up to a lilot through the living room floor was left in place to demonstrnbly link the outside with the inside. Wright bad initially intended that the ledge be cut ftush with the froar, but this bad been one ofthe Kaufmann tinnilys fuvorite sunning spots, so Mr. Kaufrnarm suggested that it be left as it was.[citation needed] The stone floors are waxed, while the hearth is left plain, giving the impresskm of dry rocks protruding from a stream Integration with the setting extends even to small details. For example, where glass rreets stone waIl<; there is no Iretal fraIre; rather, the glass and its horizontal dividers were nUl into a caulked recess in the stonework so that the stone wa11s appear nnintenupted by glazing. From the cantilevered 1iving room, a stairway leads directly down to the stream beloW, and in a connecting space which connects the main house with the guest and servant level, a natural spring drips water inside, which is then channeled back out. Bedroom; are srnall, sorre with low ceilings to encourage people outward toward the open social areas, decks, and outdoors. Bear Rill1 and the sOlmd ofits water penreate the house, especially during the spring when the snow ~ rnehing, and locally quarried stone walls and cantilevered terraces resembling the nearby rock formations are rreant to be in hanrony. The design incorporates broad exparu;es of windows and balconies which reach out.into their surrcnmdings. The staitcase leading down from the living room to the stream (rrentioned above) ~ accessed via movable horizontal glass panes. In confurmance with Wright's views, the main entry door ~ away from the fulls. On the hillside above the main house stands a three-bay carport, Driveway leading to the entrance of servants' quarters, and a guest house. These attached outbuikiings were Fallingwater buih two years later U5ing the same quality of materials and attention to detail as the main house. The guest quarters reature a spring- red swirrnning pool which overflows to the river below. After Fallingwater was deeded to the public, the carport was enclosed at the direction ofKaufrnann, Jr., to be used by rnusellll1 visitors to view a presentation at the end of their guided tours on the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (to which the horre was entrusted). Kaufmann, Jr. designed its interior hitnseU; to specifications lilund in other Fallingwater interiors by Wright. Repair work The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy conducted an intensive program to preserve and restore Fallingwater. From 1988, a New York City-based architecture and engineering firm was responsible fur the materials en.wik.ipedia.orglwik.ilFa"ingwaler 3/22/12 Falingwater - Wlklpedla, \he free 9ncydopedia cooservation ofFaOingwaler . During !hi< tirre the firm reviewed original construcfun docwrents and subsequent repair reports; evatuated conditioes and probes; analyzed select rmteria~ ; designed the re-roofing and re-waterproofing ofreofs and terraces; specified the restoration for original steel caseIrent windows and doors; reconstructed failed concrete recon,tructiollS; restored the masonry; analyzed interior paint finishes; specified interior paint reDX>val rrethods and re-painting; designed repa~ rrethods ror concrete arxl stucco; and developed a new coating sYSlem fOr the concrete. The cantilevers at Fallingwater Given the humid enviro~nt directly over nmning water, rrnld had proven a problem The ekler Kaufinam called Fallingwater "a seven-bucket buikling" fur its leaks, and nicknarred tt ''Ri<;ing Miklew".fl6J Condensation under roofing n:errbranes was also an ~sue, due to the lack of darrv proofing or thermal breaks.fl7J Fallingwater's structural system includes a series of very bokl reinfurced coocrete cantilevered bakonies; however, the house had prob~ms from the beginning. Prolxllmced deflection of the concrete cantilevers was noti::ed as soon as ronnwork was reIIXlved at the construction stage. 11ris deflection continued to increase over ~, and eventually reached 7 inches (over a 15- fool span). In 1995, the Western Penmy!vania Conserv.mcy colDllissioned a study ofFallingwater's structural integrity. Structural engineer.; analyzed the mJvcn:ent of the cantilevers over tirre and conducted radar studies of the cantilevers to locate and quantifjl the reinfrm:errent. These sbowed thaI the contractor bad indeed added reinfurcerrent over wrigbrs plan; nevertheless, the cantilevers were still insufficiently reinforced. In filet, both the concrete and its steel reinfurcem::nt were sbockingly close to the~ fiIilure limits. As a result, in 1997, temporary girders were installed beneath the cantilevers to carry their weight.[l 8] In 2002, the structure was repaired pemnnently using post-tensioning. Blocks were joined to the concrete cantilever beams and floor jo;;", high-strength steel cables were ted through the blocks and exterior concrete walls, and then the cables were tightened using jacks. The floor.; and walls were then reslored, leaving Fallingwater's mr.eIior and exterior appearance unchanged. TIle cantilevers now had sufik::ient support, and the deflection stopped.[l9] See also • Kautinann Desert House, another Kaufinaon residence • Kentuck Knob, another Wright-designed residence in the sa.rre area References l.
