Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Minutes <br />March 15, 2012 <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Discussion <br />Projects for 2012 Building Code Board of Appeals <br />2012 Building Code Adoption – <br />Board members are to <br />o <br />review the books they have been given. Discussions will <br />begin at the next Board of Appeals meeting on the changes <br />to the 2012 codes and if the city might want to adopt into the <br />building codes in whole or parts. Boulder is adopting the <br />2012 codes. Longmont is looking at adopting them. <br />1. Significant changes for 2012 <br /> –Books delivered to <br />Board members during meeting for review. We will <br />discuss the changes at next scheduled meeting. <br />2. ICC 700 <br />–Books delivered to Board members during <br />meeting for review. We will discuss the changes at <br />next scheduled meeting. <br />3. IgCC <br />– Books are not yet published, but are pre <br />ordered. Once they have been delivered, the Board <br />members will pick them up and review them. We will <br />discuss the changes at next scheduled meeting. <br />Current builders seem to be taking a forward <br />approach with the new IgCC codes and are already <br />building structures to meet the code. There were <br />about 1,400 different changes that were made. Gary <br />Mancuso suggested that maybe the city could add <br />incentives if we were to adopt any part of the codes. <br />Update <br />Mobile Home Ordinance <br />– The current Mobile Home Ordinance <br />was written in 1973. Mike Jones is checking with other jurisdictions <br />to compare their Mobile Home Ordinance. There are 4 homes that <br />could be cited, but because of outdated code, cannot be cited. <br />Many homes are doing work without permits. Prior Chief Building <br />Official allowed modifications and/or addition that didn’t not meet <br />State code, which voided the guarantee. 10 years ago the City <br />started looking toward the Mobile Home Park to clean up and bring <br />structures back in compliance with current codes. The city would <br />like to make these changes so help in enforcing the codes. <br />Inspection card/Permit Application <br /> – The Building Safety <br />Division will be working with potential software company to make <br />sure that we can streamline the permit and inspection card process <br />better. This would make the inspection card more user friendly. <br />Current inspections cards and permits were handed out to Board <br />members to get their input on how to make them more user <br />friendly. <br />Staff Comments <br />– None <br /> <br />
