Re:71 King Street
Northamton,MA
I request that you grant a modification to waive the requirement for control construction for the
project at 71 King Street in Northampton because the work is of a minor nature,will not affect health,
accessibility,life and fire safety,or structural requirements and is impractical in that the cost of control
construction is considerable when compared to the cost of the proposed work.
I have provided a stamped letter with the permit application from a registered design professional in
support of this request
Thank you for your consideration.

Re: Whalen Insurance, 71 King St,Northampton, MA: Structural assessment of existing roof
areas to support proposed solar arrays.
On May 29, 2014, I conducted a site visit and investigated the roof framing of the middle and east
most additions to main building. The middle addition has 2x6 (1-5/8"x 5-5/8") rafters at 24" on-
center, spanning 9'-2" at a 2/12 pitch on the south side. These rafters are adequate to support the
proposed solar array. The newer 28'x 40', 2-story east addition roof framing are 2x8 at 24"on-
center, spanning 13'-6", at a 6/12 pitch. 2x6 ceiling joists, at 24" on-center, tie the rafter ends
together. The roof framing on the south side will need to be reinforced to limit deflection under
snow load conditions. Install a 2x4 plate on top of the attic floor joists within 12" of the location
of the bearing wall below. Install 2x4 bracing with the top of the 2x4 located 2'-6"horizontal from
the ridgeline and screwed with 2-2'/z"TimberLok screws to the side of each of the south rafters.
Cut the necessary angle on the bottom of the 2x4 brace and toe screw the brace to the 2x4 plate
with 24"TimberLok screws.
I have reviewed the mounting details for the proposed array. Based on the approximate PV panel
unit weight of 44 lbs,with the attachment points of the array placed at a maximum of 4' on center
and staggered to minimize the load to any one rafter,the existing roof framing of the middle
addition is adequate to support the proposed PV array and the with the proposed bracing installed
in the east addition that roof framing will be adequate to support the proposed PV array.
Please contact me if you have any questions or need additional information.
