• If you look at the first page in the International Plumbing Code you will see what I mean by <br /> minimal amendments. These are the items which need to be revised so the Code can be <br /> customized for each junsdictions requirements. <br /> Commerce City had minimal amendments. Central City the same, also they adopted appendices <br /> B, D,E, F and G Glenwood and Northglenn had minimal amendments. <br /> Jefferson County and Longmont adopted the code with the most amount of amendments. <br /> I used both of those City's.ordinance's because it appeared that they both did the most thorough <br /> review of the Code. <br /> There is now a full family of the International Codes which has been developed over the last five <br /> years. The International Plumbing Code has been in print since 1995 and since then there has <br /> been one set of code change hearings every year to refine the code. <br /> With all of the International Codes there will be a steep learning curve for our Department when <br /> we start adopting those codes. I would like to adopt the International Plumbing Code to give <br /> inspectors a chance to get adjusted to using the International Code format before adopting the <br /> other International Codes. <br /> Section 103.1 <br /> For section 103 1 this change is needed because the new term in the International Codes is"Code <br /> Official" <br /> Approved by Board consensus <br /> Section 105.4 <br /> I am recommending that section 105 4 be deleted in its entirety because we need to learn how to <br /> work with the Code before we start looking at specific engineering designs. This is a good <br /> section to have in the code, which allows someone to engineer a system which will work, and be <br /> allowed. However, the Uniform Plumbing Code does not have a similar provision,therefore I <br /> would like to hold off adopting this section. <br /> Chuck Keim—By deleting that section are we not making this version, as we adopt it, less <br /> flexible than the Uniform Plumbing Code? The Uniform Pluming Code has an alternative design <br /> section,we are eliminating that here. <br /> Tom Talboom—The alternative design is under the Board of Appeals section. We are not <br /> deleting that. <br /> 2 <br />
