inches or less, do one of the following:
-Fill spaces with Class A material.
-Fill spaces with inorganic or non-combustible material.
-Fire block 8 feet in all directions.
2. Dropped Ceilings & Soffits: If dropped greater
than 1 ¾ inches:
Framing members, hangers, and other assembly
members must be non-combustible. You may not
use wood.
In Type III and V construction only, you may use fire
retardant treated wood or non-combustible framing.

RE: Structural Engineering Services Agreement
233 East Cooper Avenue Remodel - Aspen, Colorado
Sara,
As requested, we have reviewed the potential structural impact of the proposed remodel at the location noted
above. Our review is based upon proposed architectural drawings by Rowland+Broughton, dated June 15, 2023,
and existing structural drawings by KL&A dated March 14, 2008. The current proposed scope of work includes
modifications to the interior walls.
Once demolition can begin, the wall and ceiling finishes in these areas, shall be at least partially removed in
order to verify the potential effects to the existing structure. We shall be contacted to visually observe the
conditions and will then work to define the structural impact of the proposed. This shall be done prior to
proceeding with the removal or modification of any framing members, while also allowing sufficient time for the
scope of structural engineering to be defined and completed. Please note, no interior partition walls nor ceiling
framing shall be removed or modified prior to our observation. Furthermore, if any drywall or other finishes are
showing signs of movement or moisture, such as cracking, bubbling, discoloration or spalling, we should be
notified to observe conditions prior to the removal of any finishes.
The proposed structural modifications may require an analysis of both the gravity and lateral systems, tracing
gravity and lateral load paths through the building, possibly affecting and requiring structural work in areas of
the building outside of the proposed architectural scope.
Please note, that verifications and subsequent recommendations may have a significant impact on the project
direction and schedule. Should you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact
our office. We look forward to working with you through the completion of your remodel.
Sincerely,
Evolve Structural Design LLC
