RE: Farmstone Crossing Silos
Dear David:
This letter is a follow up to my original structural letter dated 19 May 2023. In my previous letter, I
stated that the existing silos at Farmstone Crossing would be acceptable to leave in place and be used
as monument signs. I understand that there has been discussion of possibly moving the silos to
another location and reconstructing the silos to the original condition. Structurally moving the silos
would require, in my opinion, the construction of a structurally reinforced masonry wall inside the
silos and the attachment of the original concrete staves (walls) to the new construction to resist the
Code required lateral forces. Leaving the structures as is, is acceptable because the structures have
proven stable as originally built, but moving them would require a Code acceptable design to resist
the Code prescribed lateral forces. The new construction would be time consuming and be cost
prohibitive.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please call me at (208) 855-5082.
Sincerely,
IU4-4-t ;2
