DA - DESIGN <br />ARCH ITECTURE+INTERIORS <br />1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />1.1 RESEARCH BACKGROUND / PROJECT PARTICIPANTS <br />DAJ Design conducted an Historic Structural Assessment for the structure located at 816 McKinley Avenue, <br />Louisville, Colorado to determine its feasibility as a candidate for historic landmark designation as defined under <br />the Historic Preservation program of the City of Louisville. The structure is a residential property. The City of <br />Louisville Historic Preservation Commission found probable cause that the building may be eligible for <br />landmarking under criteria in section 15.36.050 of the Louisville Municipal Code. Therefore, the Commission <br />approved the Historic Structural Assessment to be paid for by the Louisville Preservation Fund grant. <br />The primary purpose of this HSA is to evaluate the property's current condition and to identify preservation <br />. priorities for the best use of rehabilitation funds. DAJ Design inspected 816 McKinley visually to identify areas of <br />necessary maintenance and repair. It is possible that complications exist that were not visible and therefore it is <br />recommended that the property owner includes contingency funding in any repair budget. <br />DAJ Design inspected 816 McKinley on June 5t", 2023, and returned with Glenn Frank Engineering on July 6t", <br />2023, for a follow-up structural visit. The weather for the initial visit was warm and sunny. The weather for the <br />follow-up visit was partially overcast and humid. Adequate access to the basement and crawlspace was <br />available, though not all areas were entirely visible. There is no attic access to the house to observe the attic <br />condition. Additionally, there are three detached structures on the property including a garage, a studio, and a <br />shed. These structures were not inspected beyond taking note of the exterior condition. <br />LIST OF CONSULTANTS AND SOURCES: <br />STRUCTURAL ENGINEER <br />JESSE SHOLINSKY, PE <br />GLENN FRANK ENGINEERING, INC. <br />PO BOX 20708 <br />BOULDER, CO 80308 <br />303.554.9591 <br />SOURCES <br />"Louisville Historic Preservation Commission Staff Report," June 26, 2023. <br />816 WKINLEY AVE, PAGE - 3 <br />
