<br />Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Minutes <br />June 16, 2005 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />Lynn Tennant asks about rebates for appliances, etc. Garrett Mundelein talked <br />about rebates for washers & dryers, swamp coolers vs. A/C units, and various <br />programs are already in place. There was some discussion about commercial vs. <br />residential heating requirements amongst the Board, and whether or not to have <br />the city residential code match the commercial code. This could be an avenue to <br />follow. Mundelein remarks the extreme high costs of a contractor to be required <br />to make some of these great system changes for the common person. The <br />pricing is through the roof already. We need to be very careful as a Board to <br />make residents required to do these things. Ron LaSasso states as a <br />professional mortgage broker, that every increase dollar amount of homes equals <br />a certain percentage more that buyers have to seek in lending. The incomes are <br />not catching up with the higher home prices. Lynn Tennant asks about <br />landscaping requirements? Laura Page says there is a limit to a percentage of <br />low water drip plans. <br /> <br />Mike Jones states we have a good direction and understanding to go for the next <br />meeting. We will try to get Excel, Energy Star, and City of Boulder to come. <br />Home Depot & Lowes are not carrying products for our qualifications, but will <br />also be invited. The next meeting will be set for April 19th. There might be more <br />room in the Council Chambers room. Any other questions or comments? None <br />were heard. <br /> <br />Board of Appeals Comments - No comments were made. <br /> <br />Staff Comments Mike Jones states we have a good direction and understanding <br />to go for the next meeting.
