    Fred H. Schott & Associates CIVIL AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEERS City of Lompoc January 11, 2013 Attn: Craig Dierling, P.E. 100 Civic Center Plaza Lompoc, CA Re: Structural Observation of Lompoc Theater, 112-118 North H Street, Lompoc, Ca. Dear Craig, On December 13, 2012, a site visit was performed for the Lompoc Theater to determine the existing conditions, structural sufficiency, and structural deterioration, then make recommendations to rehabilitate each roof structure to meet current code. Each area of the theater was examined and the following was found: The Fly-Tower roof structure has multiple holes in a large roof hatch which are allowing water and pigeons to get inside the stage area. Based on our previous inspection in 1993, the fly-tower roof has 1x6 straight sheathing boards which can not transfer shear loads. There is also no shear connection between the roof and the walls. The exterior concrete walls have a few minor cracks, but are in good shape. The beams beneath the stage floor appear to be undamaged and the majority of the ceiling beneath the stage does not have water damage so the joists are most likely not damaged either. Towards the north end of the stage, the ceiling beneath shows substantial water damage and mold growth. The joists at this location may be damaged also. The floor sheathing on the stage area has been exposed to weather and pigeon droppings, but appears to be solid. Further opening of the stage may expose mold or rotten wood. Figure 1: Holes in roof hatch above the stage. Figure 2: Framing beneath stage; small crack in basement wall.
