Building Code Board of Appeals <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 16, 2016 <br />Page 2of2 <br />DISCUSSION <br />Wind Speed Clarification <br />Berry has brought to the board and staffs attention, the notes on the design criteria <br />for wind speed need to be update. A discussion was had behind the reasoning, <br />being most material companies have a software system that may have a slight glitch <br />and have not be brought up to the current code in regards to calculation the correct <br />wind load. <br />Staff has asked Berry to come up with wording which will alleviate these issues. <br />Berry will get the corrected document to staff and it will be presented at the May <br />meeting. <br />Roof Snow Load Code Amendment <br />Discussion was had regarding the difference between ground and roof snow loads <br />and if the City needs to add a roof snow load code. Staff supplied a copy of Denver's <br />snow load code and Berry stated Boulder has a great explanation of the snow loads <br />criteria. Berry suggests we go with the wording that City of Boulder has. Staff will <br />check with other jurisdictions on their codes for the different snow loads. <br />UPDATE <br />None heard. <br />STAFF COMMENTS <br />Staff updated the Board on the hiring of the new director for the department and the <br />vacancy of the principle planner position. <br />Staff asked if any items needed to be added to the agenda or if there were <br />documents which needed to be distributed, they be submitted 2 Mondays prior to the <br />meeting date to make the packet deadline. <br />BOARD COMMENTS <br />None heard. <br />NEXT MEETING <br />May 19, 2016 <br />DISCUSSION ITEMS FOR NEXT MEETING <br />• 2014 NEC Adoption Update <br />• Wind Speed — Design Criteria Handout <br />• Snow Load Code Review <br />ADJOURN <br />The meeting adjourned at 7:40 PM. <br />
