Code Committee
, October 18, 1979
Committee: Chairman Rumley, Trustees Burgess and Swickard
Attending: Chairman Rumley
Also Attending: Town Administrator Hill, Public Works Director Widmer,
Building Inspector Stan Jones
Absent: Trustees Burgess and Swickard
RESIDENTIAL CARE FACILITIES:
Building Inspector Stan Jones informed the Committee that a building
permit had been applied for a residential care facility in a C-2 zone.
He explained that although this use is not specifically stated as a
permitted use in C-2, the Town Attorney determined that it would be
allowed because it is a reasonable use according to those permitted
in the C-2 zone. The Committee felt that it would be in the Town's
best interest to review proposals for residential care facilities and,
therefore, recommends (for future proposals) that they be allowed
under special review in R, R-1, R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2, E-1, I-1 zoning
districts.
1979 UNIFORM CODES:
The Committee reviewed the 1979 Uniform Building Code. Among the
changes in this new revision is the elimination of fire zone designa-
tions and basing fire prevention construction on location and type
of occupancy. The Committee recommends adopting the 1979 Uniform
Building Code with the following amendments:
1. Maintaining 30' height limit for all buildings.
2. Raising building permit fees for R-1, R-3 and M-1 occupancies
from $0.055/sq.ft. to $0.065/sq.ft.
3. Revising the fire zone references in Section 14.20.080 of the
Municipal Code to require rigid conduit in all commercial or combined
commercial and residential buildings.
The Committee reviewed and also recommends adoption of the 1979 Uniform
Mechanical Code, 1979 Uniform Code of Abatement of Dangerous Buildings,
and the 1979 Uniform Plumbing Code.
1979 FIRE CODE:
The Committee discussed the 1979 Fire Code and decided to study it
further.
REPORTS:
Stan Jones reported that the State is requiring full implementation by
March 31, 1980 of heat loss studies for all new residential construction
or major remodeling of residences and compliance with the State Energy
Construction Standards.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned.
