Re: Architectural Assessment—411 W. Main Street, Bozeman, MT 59715
Mr. Walton,
At your request, the existing structure located at 411 W. Main Street, was inspected by Charley Franklin, AIA, NCARB of
SMA Architecture and Design and Nathan McBride, PE, of IMEG on September 14, 2022. The building assessment was
made on the bases of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) which has been adopted by the state of Montana and
City of Bozeman. The following insufficiencies were observed and would require repair or replacement in order to bring
the building up to current code standards. The corresponding recommendations are suggestions only. Detailed analysis
of repair was not undertaken in this assessment.
Building Description
The building footprint is 32'x 32' for a total of 1,024 total sf. According to the Montana Historic Property Record, This
site consists of a small single-story commercial building built in the Mid-Century Modern style as a sandwich and
burger shop in 1969, and operated as a 413's Junior Restaurant. This small casual eatery was positioned at an angle to a
separate larger 413's family restaurant. Constructed of concrete block, the building has a concrete foundation and square
plan shape. The roof is sloped, higher on the south and has a projecting boxed cornice clad in diagonal wood siding. The
exterior walls are covered in a variety of materials: the
south-facing primary facade has an irregular-cut-stone veneer, the west elevation is almost entirely metal framed
windows, and the north and east elevations are painted concrete block.
The primary entry is located on the north end of the west elevation, with an at-grade, side-hung glass door. To the south,
spanning the rest of the west elevation, are fixed-lite display windows with vinyl paneling below. These banked display
windows continue around the building's southwest corner onto the west end of the primary facade. The facade faces
south onto W. Main St., and has a second at-grade entry with a transom above. No openings were visible on north and
east elevations.

Observed Deficiencies
Site Parking and Sidewalks
Multiple issues can be found in the site parking lot. The surface of the parking lot is well worn in and shows evidence
of standing water and pot holes. The Building shares a parking lot with 421 W. Main.
• Recommendation: Remove and replace parking lot to meet current standards of site drainage. Addtional stormwater
retainage structure should be located under reconstructed parking lot to mittiage stormwater drainage on-site.

Exhibit#1: Degraded paving and low areas in the parking lot connected to 421 (shown above) show inadequate drainage.
Exhibit#2: Cracked and uneven paving in at 411.
Exterior Siding
It was observed that the wood siding is not sealed and painted in some areas. Additionally caulking shoudl be addressed
in places that currently are open to the air. Drainage of the roof appears to be by an internal gutter but it water was
observed flowing over the fascia in some areas. This should be addressed by sealing the gutter and ensuring proper
drainage slopes and clearing any blockages.
• Recommendations: Caulk entire siding package and paint all areas of wood siding. Repair gutter to prevent water
washing over the fascia on the north elevation.

Storefront Windows
The storefront windows on the west facade are are estimated to be original. These window are beyond their life span and
need to be upgraded to meet current energy standards. Additionally damage can be seen in the corner from an impact.
The lower pane is an uninsulated spandrel. It was also observed that the glazing has been compromized and fog was
present between panes.
• Recommendations: Replace all storefront windows to meet current energy code.

Roofing
The current roof appears to be a hot mop asphalt. In general the roof appears to be preforming adequately, however
some deteriation is seen at the parapet wall to the east side, and there is flashing lapped over the roof on the North side.
some cracking can be seen in the whole of the roof. These areas should be examined by a qualified roofer and repaired
or replaced if necessary.
• Recommendations: Repair roof at east parapet wall, repair overlap of metal onto surface of roof by extending the
membrane over the top of the flashing, spot repair asphalt as necessary.

turnaround
• Recommendations: Enlarge restroom to provide addtional space needed for ADA clearances.

Exhibit#8: Restroom in need of added clearance for ADA.
Conclusion
In conclusion, there are several architectural components throughout this buliding that would need to be updated and/
or retrofitted to comply with the current life safety and energy codes as adopted by the state of Montana and the City of
Bozeman. The building does appear to have been through a recent interior renovation and the mechanical and electrial
systems appear to be in decent shape and fully funcitonal. The non-compliant issues described above were recorded
based on a preliminary walkthough, further investigation may uncover other areas of the buliding that do not comply with
the current code. The recommendations included with each area of concern are only suggestions of how each issue
could be resolved and should be investigated further by the appropriate licensed professional for the costs associated
with making the change. Please see the attached document for a structural assessment.

Re: Structural Assessment—411 West Main, Bozeman, MT
Dear Mr. Walton,
On September 14, 2022, Nathan McBride from IMEG and Charley Franklin from SMA Architecture and
Design conducted a site visit to observe the existing structure. The purpose of the site visit was to
assess if there were structural issues that would need to be addressed to bring the building code in line
with the IBC 2021, which is the current code adopted by the City of Bozeman and the State of Montana.
The following issues were noted and will require replacement or to be retrofitted to bring the building up
to the current code. The scope of work for this building assessment did not include a detailed analysis of
the existing structure or the development of retrofit details.
This inspection was of a visual nature only. Every condition or potential structural condition may not have
been noted. Observations made and conclusions reached were based on the visual examination and
evidence without the benefit of direct observation of some structural elements. In some cases, exact
determination of workmanship and structural integrity cannot be made without destruction of interior or
exterior finishes.
Building Description
The single-story structure was constructed in 1969 and has full length concrete masonry unit (CMU)
walls on the north and east elevations with a mix of CMU and glass storefront on the south and west
elevations. The roof of the structure is constructed of site-built wood "trusses".
Observations and Recommendations
1. The existing roof framing is comprised of site-built wood "trusses" with a sloped top chord at
24" OC with a bottom chord that was suspended along regular intervals from the top chord
(Figures 2 and 3). The bottom chord is a 2x4 and the top chord was unable to be viewed due to
insulation in place. A simple analysis of the "truss" was done using the existing spans, dead
loads, and code required snow loads. For the analysis, it was conservatively assumed that the
top chord was a 2x12, which fails to meet current code strength and deflection requirements. It
is recommended that the roof is replaced with new pre-manufactured roof trusses engineered to
support current code specified loads.
2. There is no bracing form the top of the CMU walls to the roof diaphragm for the interior or
exterior CMU walls. The current code requires CMU walls to be braced at a maximum spacing
of 4'0" OC. The bracing is to prevent the CMU walls from tearing away from the building and
causing a partial to full collapse of the building. It is recommended that all interior and exterior
CMU walls are properly braced at a maximum spacing of 4'-0" OC to the roof framing to prevent
a catastrophic collapse in a seismic event.
3. A magnetic locator was used to scan the CMU blocks for reinforcing in the cells and did not
register any reinforcing in the walls. A Reinforcing in CMU provides additional ductility to the

system and allows the CMU wall to resist tension loading as well as compression during a
seismic event. Buildings in Bozeman are no longer permitted by code to be constructed using
unreinforced CMU. In a seismic event, the walls are likely to suffer extensive damage, which
could result in a partial or full collapse of the building. It is recommended that all the CMU walls
are retrofitted to resist lateral loads generated during a seismic event.
4. The rooftop equipment is not anchored to the support frame (Figure 4). Unanchored equipment
can slide off its pad and damage or fall through the existing roof. It is recommended that the
equipment be anchored to the support frame.
5. The parapet on the east elevation is unbraced above the roof line. Based on the lack of bracing
(Item 2), unreinforced wall (Item 3), and no bracing on the parapet, this wall will likely collapse in
a seismic event. It is recommended that the parapet is braced and wall is retrofitted to resist
lateral loads generated during a seismic event.
mm
Based on the site observations the building is in need of significant repairs and retrofits to bring the
building up to the current code and satisfy life-safety requirements to prevent a sudden collapse.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to be of service. We trust the forgoing is adequate for your
needs, but should you have additional questions please contact the undersigned.

Re: Architectural Assessment—421 W. Main Street, Bozeman, MT 59715
Mr. Walton,
At your request, the existing structure located at 421 W. Main Street, was inspected by Charley Franklin, AIA, NCARB of
SMA Architecture and Design and Nathan McBride, PE, of IMEG on September 14, 2022. The building assessment was
made on the bases of the 2021 International Building Code (IBC) which has been adopted by the state of Montana and
City of Bozeman. The following insufficiencies were observed and would require repair or replacement in order to bring
the building up to current code standards. The corresponding recommendations are suggestions only. Detailed analysis
of repair was not undertaken in this assessment.
Building Description
According to the Montana Historic Property Record, the commercial structure at 421 West Main St. was built in 1964
by George Hubbard, in it's current location. In general, the building is a one story structure of approximately 110' X 50'
with a utility basement below 1/3 of the footprint. Total square footage is approximately 7,300 including the basement.
The building is described in the Property Record as follows - "[It is a] one story commercial structure...square plan with
a projecting wide overhang across the entire front facade. The symmetrical facade consists of an off-center glass-paned
front entrance with aluminum storefront windows. There are two extended vent-like projections across the roof line which
appear to have a series of skylight windows. The construction is finished in Travertine ashlar veneer and diagonal cedar
fascia. It rests on a concrete foundation and has a slight gable roof covered with wood shakes that lie parallel to the
street."
The site has historically served as a restaurant and until recently continued to be used as such. The building has a
side-gabled roof clad now in asphalt shingles. The roof has a triangular shed-roofed bump up with what appears to be
a clerestory, but no windows or skylights are currently present. The exterior is clad in diagonal wood siding with an
irregular cut-stone veneer between banks of fixed windows. A large cut-stone veneered chimney is at the west end of
the primary south facade. The primary entry still faces south onto a paved parking lot that fills the south half of the lot.
The siding appears original and the paint on the wood siding is failing."
The building was originally constructed for the 413's restaurant chain. The 413's Bozeman location opened in this building
in 1965 and remained operational until 2003. In 2004 the Bamboo Garden Asian Grille opened in the building and
operated in the space until the summer of 2022.

Exterior Deficiencies
Site Parking and Sidewalks
Multiple issues can be found in the site parking lot and sidewalks. The surface of the parking lot is well worn in and
shows evidence of standing water and pot holes. The sidewalks are heaving and showing inconsitencys in elevation and
the approach to the entrance on the west side of the lot is to steep for ADA access.
• Recommendation: Remove and replace sidewalk and parking lot to meet current standards of site drainage and ADA
access. Addtional stormwater retainage structure should be located under reconstructed parking lot to mittiage
stormwater drainage on-site.
_ E
Exhibit#1: Degraded paving and low areas in the parking lot show inadequate drainage.
Exhibit#2: Degraded and uneven sidewaks need to be replaced.
Exterior Siding
It was observed that the wood siding has been poorly maintained over the past few years. In multiple areas paint can
be observed pealing away from the wood. Additionally the wood siding needs to be caulked to prevent water intrusion.
On the Alley side West, damage has occured to the corner and the soffit that sould be repaired/replaced. All soffits are
showing water damage and need to be replaced. A roof inspection should be preformed to deterimine if any leaking is
present causing the soffit damage.
Exhibit#3: Damaged corner of the soffit and degraded painting on wood siding.
Exhibit#4: Soffit at south side rotting and pealing away from structure.

Interior Deficiencies
Electrical
The Electrical sytem needs full evaluation from a qualified engineer to determine it's staus as meeting code, however,
it appears that many modifications and arrangements have been made in the past that would need to be addressed.
Mulitple outlet locations are located in the kitchen that are not GFCI protected and located in areas that would require
GFCI protection. The total electrical load should be evaluated. Currently all planels are located at the top of the stair
landing to the basement. It is anticipated that to meet current code, a separate electrical room would be required. It
also appears No Fire alarm system could be identified. Addional electical considerations inculde removal of abandoned
electical lines and fixtures and upgrades to the lighting systems and locations throughout the Wilding to meet current
standards. Electrical service is from a pole located less than a foot from the north wall of the structure. current code
would require 10 minimum clearance from the overhead lines to the buliding.
• Recommendations: Anticipated full electrical system overhaul. Relocate electrical service planels into dedicated
electical room to ensure clearance at the basement stairs. Replace all recepticals to be in compliance with GFCI
protection and in appoved locations. Install full fire alarm systems. Replace and upgrade all lighting throughout the
building to meet current code for illumination requriements. Reroute overhead power to mantain proper clearance
from powerlines to the buliding.
Mechanical
The Plumbing and Heating/Cooling sytem needs full evaluation from a qualified engineer to determine it's staus as
meeting code, however it was observed that many of the plumbing pipes are corroded and leaking. A water leak was
observed at the time of inspection. It appears that old cast iron pipes are located in the basement. These appear to be
wrapped in asbestos insulation. A full enviornmental assement would need to be undertaken, but it is anticipated that
asbestos is present in the pipe insulation and floor tile mastic. Many plubming fixtures appear to be abandoned and
should be removed. There is a waterheater in a closet with no floor drain or pan. Multiple grease traps are present. It is
unclear if grease has been flushed down drains in the past, but a full evaluation should be undertaken to establish the
condition of piping.
The Furnace is located in the attic space. Currently there is no adequate access for a commercial buliding. The only
access is through a ceiling hatch located in the dish washing pit. No fire separation is seen between the furnace system
and the combustible roof framing. Proper clearance around the furnace is not availble for maintince work. Ductwork is
distributed through the attic space to difussers in the space below.
Roof Top mechanical units appear to be at the end of their useful life and are supported by steel framing that does not
meet standards for sizemic bracing. No roof top mechancial screening is in place. No fire sprinkler system is in place.
• Recommendations: Evaluate all plumbing for leaks and repair/replace where necessary. Remove unused and
abandoned plumbing. Preform a hazardus materials evaluation and remove asbestos insulation and reinsulate pipes
throughout. Ensure proper floor drainage is provided for waterheater. Remove existing grease traps and replace as
necessary.
• Provide proper access and clearance for furnace. This may require moving the furnace into adesignated mechaincal
room on the first floor, or adding a staircase to the attic space and providing fire separation.
• Replace failing roof top equipment. Provide new steel supports meeting current sizemic requirements. Include
mechanical screening.

Interior Finishes:
The buildings interior finishes are well beyond an acceptable life of use. The carpet is severly stained, the kitchen is full
of grease on walls and flooring. Many ceiling tiles are falling off the ceiling. One wall of red tile opposite the kitchen is in
good shape and could be reatained. Casework in the dining room is failing and falling apart.
• Recommendations: Remove and replace all finishes throughout the buliding. Consider retaining the red tile wall.
Mold Issues:
There was visible black mold on the ceiling of the basement. The mold was observed on the drywall as well as in the
floor truss space. The floor trusses are showing significant rusting and spots of mold and rot.
• Recommendations: Remove ceiling in the basement, ensure no water is leaking through the floor or in the plumbing
system. Remiediate all mold as required by sainitization. Replace damaged and rotting floor framing.

Conclusion
In conclusion, there are several major architectural, electrical and mechanical components throughout this buliding
that would need to be updated and/or retrofitted to comply with the current life safety codes as adopted by the state of
Montana and the City of Bozeman. The non-compliant issues described above were recorded based on a preliminary
walkthough, further investigation may uncover other areas of the buliding that do not comply with the current code. The
recommendations included with each area of concern are only suggestions of how each issue could be resolved and
should be investigated further by the appropriate licensed professional for the costs associated with making the change.

Re: Structural Assessment—421 West Main, Bozeman, MT
Dear Mr. Walton,
On September 14, 2022, Nathan McBride from IMEG Corp. and Charley Franklin from SMA Architecture
and Design, conducted a site visit to observe the existing structure. The purpose of the site visit was to
assess if there were structural issues that would need to be addressed to bring the building code in line
with the IBC 2021, which is the current code adopted by the City of Bozeman and the State of Montana.
The following issues were noted and will require replacement or to be retrofitted to bring the building up
to the current code. The scope of work for this building assessment did not include a detailed analysis of
the existing structure or the development of retrofit details.
This inspection was of a visual nature only. Every condition or potential structural condition may not have
been noted. Observations made and conclusions reached were based on the visual examination and
evidence, without the benefit of direct observation of some structural elements. In some cases, exact
determination of workmanship and structural integrity cannot be made without destruction of interior or
exterior finishes.
Building Description
The single-story structure was constructed in 1963 and has full length stacked concrete masonry unit
(CMU) walls on the north and east elevations with a mix of CMU and glass storefront on the south and
west elevations. There is a partial basement in the northwest corner of the building with concrete on
metal deck elevated floor being supported on 18" deep open web trusses at 12" OC with wood chords
and steel webs. The roof of the structure is constructed of wood trusses at 4'-0" OC.
Observations and Recommendations
1. The concrete on metal deck floor over the open web trusses shows signs of corrosion (Figures
2-4). The metal decking over the floor trusses is extremely corroded and has rusted away from
the slab exposing the underside of the concrete slab while the steel webs of the trusses are
corroded and rusted. The rust in the webs of the truss has reduced the capacity of the
members, which could result in the sudden collapse of the floor. It is recommended that the
floor system is removed and replaced to avoid a collapse of the floor system.
2. There is no bracing form the top of the CMU walls to the roof diaphragm for the interior or
exterior masonry walls. The current code requires CMU walls to be braced at a maximum
spacing of 4'0" OC. The bracing is to prevent the CMU walls from tearing away from the
building and collapsing. It is recommended that all interior and exterior CMU walls are properly
braced at a maximum spacing of 4'-0" OC to the roof framing to prevent a catastrophic collapse
in a seismic event.
3. There are several holes in the exterior CMU walls that show no evidence of grouted cells or
reinforcing in the existing walls, which indicates the wall is unreinforced (Figures 5 &6). A

magnetic locator was used to scan the CMU blocks for reinforcing in the cells and confirmed that
the CMU walls were unreinforced as no rebar was locted. Reinforcing in CMU provides
additional ductility to the system and allows the CMU wall to resist tension loading as well as
compression during a seismic event. Buildings in Bozeman are no longer permitted by code to
be constructed using unreinforced CMU. In a seismic event, the walls are likely to suffer
extensive damage, which could result in a partial or full collapse of the building. It is
recommended that all the CMU walls are retrofitted to resist lateral loads generated during a
seismic event.
4. The parapet on the south elevation is unbraced above the roof line (Figure 7). At this location the
wall is covered in a 4" stone veneer, which adds significant weight to the unreinforced wall,
increasing loading to the wall in a seismic event. Based on the lack of bracing (Item 2),
unreinforced wall (Item 3), and no bracing on the parapet this wall would likely collapse in a
seismic event. It is recommended that the parapet is braced and the wall is retrofitted to resist
lateral loads generated during a seismic event.
5. The rooftop equipment is not anchored to the support frame (Figure 8). Unanchored equipment
can slide off its pad and damage or fall through the existing roof. It is recommended the
equipment be anchored to the support frame.
Summary
Based on the site observations, the building is in need of significant repairs and retrofits to bring the
building up to the current code and satisfy life-safety requirements to prevent a sudden collapse.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to be of service. We trust the forgoing is adequate for your
needs, but should you have additional questions please contact the undersigned.
