Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 15, 2018 <br />Page 2of2 <br />Discussion Items: <br />Link for Free ICC Codes <br />Discussion was brought forward by Staff about the ICC website offering free online <br />2018 codes and amendments to the codes. Since the paper books are expensive, <br />Staff believes this would be a good alternative for the community. The board <br />mentions it would be helpful if they could have a list of the significant changes to the <br />IRC and IBC. Staff states that the code books are fairly expensive and the <br />department's budget would not allow for the purchase of the codes. There will be <br />copies of significant changes available to the board after staff went through code <br />training in March. <br />Development of steering committees and board representatives for areas of interest <br />in the Codes <br />Staff asks the board members if they would join a steering committee for the adoption <br />of the 2018 codes. It was brought up that from the February contractors meeting, only <br />one contractor signed up to be on a steering committee for the International Fire <br />Code. <br />2018 IRC Plan Review Checklist <br />Staff asks the board to review the proposed 2018 IRC Plan Review Checklist. <br />Several members bring up concerns about sections of the requirements of the 2018 <br />IRC Plan Review Checklist and mentions that some of the requirements might be too <br />restrictive for Louisville. There are several sections of the checklist that the board <br />believes should be removed. The board members are going to review the IRC <br />checklist and send in the corrections to Staff. The corrections will be discussed at the <br />next meeting. <br />Staff Comments: <br />None heard. <br />Discussion Items for Next Meeting: <br />Staff says the next meeting will take place in April. At that meeting the Commercial <br />Plan Review Checklist will be presented to the board and the amendments to the <br />2018 code will be discussed. <br />Adjourn: <br />Novik moved and Geise seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting.
