y ~ _ ~.. F_. Council Minutes of OS-OS-2010 by Lisa Thomas if they continue to complain about their problems at Northwoods, the city might finally approve the project and cite them for all the construction problems and the owners would have to pay for these. Dale Mitchell provided documentation at this meeting that showed that the balconies are stronger than they need to be. The problem was that the residents at Northwoods do not have the hanger that was in Mitchell's documentation. The other one was the hanger but it was secured with a 1 3/8 inch nail instead of a 3 %2 inch nail and it was secured with Tapcon screws. The screws were never properly installed and they weren't Tapcon screws; they were a knockoff. According to the engineering report, the anchors are supposed to be used to support non-structural elements. This is made to go into structural hangers are not to be used for structural ledger boards that they don't have. So they're using something that is not even recommended along with the short nails. Fisher said he did not get a response to 27 questions he submitted in February that pertained to the codes and safety at North Woods. He only received answers to 5 questions last week from the Building Dept. regarding items they were going to address. What they have is a plywood product installed improperly. They violate the Deck Tech product that's on top 21 times. There is no warranty on Deck Tech because of this. Mayor Kennedy said he spoke with some of the residents before the meeting. The city has to deal with the Building Code. If there are Building Code violations, they will be on top of it. They are setting a time for final inspection, which will come from the Building Dept. and the architect.
