Public Hearing/Action: Ordinance 13 - Series 2018 (First Reading) An Ordinance approving the 2015 International Building Code Metteer/Place Note: Mr. Derick Place, SafeBuilt, and Ms. Shelley Bellm, 470 Pine St, were present during this discussion. Michelle M. introduced the item stating this has been on the Council TO-DO list. This is first reading to consider the adopting the 2015 IBC code and will be updated or considered every three years to ensure we are using the most tested and current codes. She introduced Mr. Place and Ms. Bellm who are intimately familiar with the International Building Code. Three items she wanted to address: woodboring fireplaces, roof snow load, and abatement codes. She also noted there is an External Offset program which will be included as well. 5
Minturn Town Council December 5, 2018 Page 4 of 8 Mr. Place and Ms. Bellm outlined what the code(s) are and what they do. The codes include the standard building codes used by all contractors and suppliers. The codes create consistencies and safety requirements without the need for municipalities doing the work themselves. He stated the codes should not be adopted too quickly as often inconsistencies are rooted out and often municipalities like to modify some codes to work better within their communities. Michael S. noted often the codes assist in ongoing issues after the initial building construction. Discussion ensued on the smoke emitted from woodburning fireplaces and how existing units can keep the use. It was noted that often it is cheaper to heat with wood stoves and this should be considered when reviewing affordable housing options. Ms. Bellm noted Minturn has not banned woodboring fireplaces; it was banned in a previous code adoption but was not extended in more recent adoptions. Mr. Place stated we should look at the Town of Eagle s code and he outlined their modifications. Essentially you can maintain the nonconforming stove but you cannot replace or expand the use. Matt S. noted he received a letter from the Association of Pool and Spa Professionals recommending approval. This letter will be included for the record. Discussion ensued on snow load. Ms. Bellm stated Minturn currently is at 80lbs/sqft, Vail is at 90, the IBC recommends 75. Ms. Shelley Bellm noted the flatter the roof, the higher the load requirement there should be. The recommendation from Council was to match Vail s amendment. The abatement code was discussed. Michael S. stated this code allows enforcement of buildings that present a hazard to adjacent structures or the public due to maintenance needs and/or age. Staff recommended this section of the code be adopted; currently it is not adopted. Michelle M. stated she would request direction from Council regarding eliminating wood burning fireplaces (this includes pellet stoves), to adopt Vail s snow load structure, to adopt or include the Abatement Section, to review the fire sprinkling requirement to ensure it maintains the needs and desires of the community. Public Comment opened No Public comment Public Comment closed Mr. Place noted that when the existing code was adopted some of the items that were amended have been corrected or included within the new 2015 code. He also said we need to adopt the Appendix or the codes are not enforceable. Motion by Earle B., second by Terry A., to approve Ordinance 13 - Series 2018 (First Reading) An Ordinance approving the 2015 International Building Code as discussed to include to add the abatement codes, the ADA code, add the appendices to each code, modify snow lode to reflect Vail s code. Further evaluation will include wood burning stoves, which fire codes are included 6
