Salud is requesting a waiver of the non-accommodation commercial class water tap for the proposed future site of their office adjacent to the Good Samaritan Subdivision along Dry Gulch Road. Salud has applied for a Community Development Block Grant to help finance the building through the County Department of Human Services and the Colorado Department of Local Affairs. Both organizations have stated Town contribution for the construction of the new building is an important component of the grant application. The tap market value is estimated at $16,000. The Town has waived tap fees for non-profit groups in the past. Salud has agreed to reimburse the water tap fee if the building is sold on the open market within the next 10 years. Mark Richards, President/Estes Park Salud Foundation reported that an addition to the current structure was considered; however, construcinga new building is the most cost- effective approach. In the event that Salud can raise the funds necessary to build, the Town may consider waiving the building permit fees. The Committee recommends approval of the water tap fee waiver as requested. Reports > Committee reviewed financial reports for Light & Power and Water departments for the month of November. > Fiber optics installation is almost complete. ~ The concrete floor for the water tank located on MacGregor Mountain was poured on December 3rd and construction will be shut down until this spring for the protection of the bighorn sheep. * Upper Broadview water line replacement has begun.

Due to the anticipated high demand of Estes Park as a vacation destination, it is expected that WorldMark Estes Park will have an estimated 87% average annual occupancy. Colorado Owners - There are currently over 8900 WorldMark owners in Colorado. With Steamboat Springs the only other Colotado resort, Estes Park will be assured of high owner visitation. Annual Visitor Spending - WorldMark owners have already paid for their accommodations; therefore they have more disposable income to spend while vacationing. WorldMark owners visiting Estes Park will spend approximately $4.3 million each year in local shops, restaurants, and recreation related spending based upon an estimated 87% occupancy. A recent Price Waterhouse Coopers study reports that an average timeshare unit represents $207 per day in economic benefit to the local community's economy. Boost to Local Job Market - WorldMark Estes Park will produce an estimated 20 full-time equivalent permanent resort operations jobs, including management, maintenance, guest services, housekeeping, landscaping and security. Guests Have Pride of Ownership - WorldMark owners have an ownership interest in all of their properties, and treat the WorldMark resorts with a level of care that they provide to their own homes. 9805 Willows Road NE â€¢ Redmond, WA 98052 425.498.2500 â€¢ Fax: 425.498.3061 â€¢ www.trendwestresorts.com Ifendwest FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Who is Trendwest Resorts? Trendwest Resorts, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cendant Corporation, the world's leading hospitality and travel services provider. Founded in 1989, Trendwest is recognized for its innovation and success of developing a flexible, points-based timeshare product called WorldMark. Today, more than 205,000 owner households have access to 54 WorldMark resort locations in the United States, Canada, Mexico and Fiji. What is the relationship between Trendwest Resorts and WorldMark? Trendwest enjoys a unique and exclusive partnership with WorldMark, a nonprofit mutual benefit corporation. After developing a resort property, Trendwest deeds it debt-free to WorldMark with the understanding that the property can never be encumbered or mortgaged at any time. Through a separate agreement, Trendwest holds the exclusive rights to manage, market and sell the WorldMark timeshare product. Whv is this relationship important? Typically, developers construct a project, sell it out, and leave some volunteer management group to manage its operation. Sometimes the project, left to the owners to manage, has inherent problems that the developer has not resolved. In the case of WorldMark, the on-going management ofthe project continues to be the developer's responsibility, and the developer's future projects and sales remain associated with the on-going success of each WorldMark resort. Is WorldMark a timeshare product? Yes. WorldMark was established to hold and manage real property for consumers who buy interests in WorldMark. The interests are in the form of annually renewed vacation credits, which provide WorldMark owners with the exclusive perpetual rights to occupy any and all resorts in the WorldMark network. As recorded in each property's timeshare declaration, vacation credit values are allocated to each unit of real property, which are then placed into a collective credit-pool from which the vacation ownership interests are sold. Will there be financial problems? Before any sales occur in relationship to a particular resort, Trendwest Resorts, Inc. pays off the resort purchase price or development cost in full and deeds the property to WorldMark debt-free. WorldMark is financially independent ofTrendwest Resorts, Inc. The operating capital for WorldMark is generated by annual assessments from WorldMark's owners. This structure virtually insulates WorldMark from any financial failure. How is Trendwest regulated? The WorldMark vacation ownership product, which is exclusively developed, marketed and sold by Trendwest Resorts, is regulated under state timeshare and real estate laws. 9805 Willows Road NE â€¢ Redmond, WA 98052 425.498.2500 â€¢ Fax: 425.498.3061 â€¢ www.trendwestresorts.com Ttendwest Will this resort chanlze the visual character of Estes Park or the surroundinE communitv in anÂ¥ neHative wav? The style, color and materials used in the resort development will be carefully chosen to blend into the natural environment and reflect the mood and character of the surrounding resorts and community. Will the development be in competition with anv local business? WorldMark is definitely not in competition with local businesses since the owners have and will be predominately purchasing their interests outside of the local area. For the most part, owners will be new visitors and will generate new business for the community. The resort will not include such amenities as restaurants or shops. The owners will be using those types of businesses within the community. Further, the nature of the WorldMark concept generates a relatively high rate of occupancy during the shoulder seasons and mid-week for the area. 9805 Willows Road NE â€¢ Redmond, WA 98052 425.498.2500 â€¢ Fax: 425.498.3061 â€¢ www.trendwestresorts.com Itendwest COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY Trendwest Resorts and WorldMark, The Club are committed to being a Neighbor of Choice in the communities where we do business.

Town Clerk 4 Department of Building Safety Memo To: Honorable Mayor Baudek and Board of Trustees From: Will Birchfield, Chief Building Official Date: 12/08/04 Re: Adoption of the 2003 International Codes Background: "The United States has the highest standard of building safety in the world. This is the result of more than 190 years of collective experience shared by the International Code Council (ICC) and its member organizations. An overwhelming majority (97%) of cities, counties and states that adopt building and safety codes are using documents published by the International Code Council and its members. The ICC's success in protecting the public is based on a proven system of code development that incorporates the expertise and opinions from every arena - ensuring the very best in building safety regulations. For years, the building industry asked for a single, unified building regulatory system to be used throughout the United States. In 1994, the three model code organizations that have provided codes for the 50 states and US territories formed the International Code Council (ICC). The goal of the ICC was to unify the building industry nationwide. In 1999, the ICC achieved its goal in developing the International Codes - a single family of codes that is being adopted across the country. The unified system will stimulate the building economy, improve safety, and create safer, more efficient and more durable homes and buildings." Background is continued on page 2 of this memo. Budget. Adoption of the International Codes will not have any budget impact other than the building permit fees increase already approved. Action: Staff recommends adoption of the 2003 International Codes with local amendments, as proposed by staff and recommended by the Community Development Committee. Staff recommends said codes to be effective January 01,2005. 1 BACKGROUND Continued: Recommendation to adopt the Codes and amendments is based on staff research, review of other Colorado jurisdictions and significant local designer and contractor feedback gathered from a recent series of focused code discussions. Where possible, proposed amendments are consistent with those adopted by Larimer County. Other amendments address practices and standards of local utility providers, other enforcement agencies, and other Town departments. Following are the significant issues/changes that will affect local construction if the proposed codes and amendments are adopted. 1. Permit expiration; Exhibit A, pg. 2, Section R105.5. 2.

Where there is a conflict between a general requirement and a specific requirement, the specific requirement shall be applicable. Exception: Regardless of the occupancy classification as defined in the International Building Code, non-mixed use residential buildings designed in compliance with the scooping provisions of the International Residential Code, shall be permitted to comply with the International Residential Code instead of the International Building Code, provided such buildings do not exceed two stories in height nor contain more than 15 dwelling units, nor more than 19 guest rooms. R102.7 Existing structures. The legal occupancy of any structure existing on the date of adoption of this code shall be permitted to continue without change, except as is specifically covered in this code, or as is deemed necessary by the building official for the general safety and welfare of the occupants and the public. R103.2 Appointment. The Director of Community Development shall appoint the building official. R105.2 Work exempt from permit. Permits shall not be required for the following. Exemption from the permit requirements of this code shall not be deemed to grant authorization for any work to be done in any manner in violation of the provisions of this code or any other laws or ordinances of this jurisdiction. Building: 1. One-story detached accessory structures provided the floor area does not exceed 120 square feet (11.15 mt nor 12 feet (3658 mm) in height. 2. Fences not over 6 feet (1829 mm) high. 3. Retaining walls that are not over 4 feet (1219 mm) in height measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, unless supporting a surcharge. 4.

Window awnings supported by an exterior wall which do not project more than 54 inches (1372 mm) from the exterior wall and do not require additional support. 10. Roofing repair or replacement work not exceeding one hundred square feet (9.29 m2) Of covering per building. 11. Minor work valued at less than two thousand dollars ($2000.00), when such minor work does not involve alteration of structural components, fire-rated assemblies, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, fire-extinguishing systems, repairs and/or maintenance of dangerous buildings, or demolition of structures that would require a permit to build. R105.5 Expiration. Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of this code shall expire 18 months after the date of issue. Every permit shall also become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date of issue of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days, or if the person or entity to whom the permit is issued fails to request a first inspection within 180 days of the date of such permit. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so. The fee for such new permit shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. Changes in the plans and specifications shall require an additional permit fee and plan review fee as described in Section R108. Any nullified permit where the suspension or abandonment has exceeded one year will require the permittee to pay a new building permit fee based on the current project valuation. Any person/permittee holding an unexpired and valid permit may apply for an extension of time to commence work, return to work, or complete work under that permit by submitting a written request describing good and satisfactory reasons for such extensions. This request must be received prior to the date on which the original permit expires or becomes null and void. The building official shall determine whether the reasons for such extension are sufficient to approve the extension. An extended permit is valid for 18 months from date of the extension, does not require compliance with codes adopted since the original permit was issued, and does not require payment of new fees. The building official may approve further modification to the three-year expiration date due to hardship, such as, death, serious health problems, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or involuntary property transfer imposed by law. The permittee shall submit a letter documenting the hardship, pay an extension fee and provide a definitive time when the structure will be completed. 2 R105.9 Premise identification.

When any changes are made to the original plans and specifications that substantially differ from the plans submitted with the permit, as determined by the building official, a new plan review fee shall be paid as calculated in accordance with Section 108. No change will be made in the expiration date of the original permit. R106.1.3 Information for construction in areas prone to flooding. For buildings and structures in flood hazard areas as established by Table R301.2 (1), construction documents shall include: 1. Delineation of flood hazard areas, floodway boundaries, and flood zones, and the design flood elevation, as appropriate; 2. The elevation of the proposed lowest floor, including basement; in areas of shallow flooding (AO zones), the height of the proposed lowest floor, including basement, above the highest adjacent grade; and 3. If design flood elevations are not included on the community's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), the building official and the applicant shall obtain and reasonably utilize any design flood elevation and floodway data available from other sources. 4. Information required by the Estes Park Municipal Code, Chapter 17.28, Floodplain Regulations. R107.1 General.

In order to renew action on an application after expiration, the applicant shall resubmit plans and pay a new plan review fee. R108.7 Re-inspections. A re-inspection fee as set forth in the fee schedule may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called for is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re- inspection. Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, for deviating from plans requiring approval of the building official, or for failure to post a readily visible address as required by section R325.1. To obtain a re- inspection, the applicant shall pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with the fee schedule (Table 1-B). In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid. R108.8 Work commencing before permit issuance. Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, gas, mechanical, electrical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to an investigation fee equal to the permit fee. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee set forth in Table 1-A. The paymdnt of such 4 investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law. Exception: Contractors shall be assessed an investigation fee equal to three times the permit fee. R108.9 Temporary certificate of occupancy. There will be a fee for Temporary Certificates of Occupancy as set forth in Table 1 -B. R109.1.5.2 Insulation inspection.

R324.2 Scope. Within a wildfire hazard area, as defined in the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC), all new building construction, including additions and accessory structures, shall comply with the provisions of this section. New building construction shall include all new structures. For additions to or changes in character of the occupancy or use of existing buildings, the defensible space shall be provided around the entire building. To identify wildfire hazard areas, the Estes Valley Development Code utilizes the Wildfire Hazard Map in the Estes Valley Development Code (Appendix A), the Colorado State Forest Service, and/or the Larimer County Wildfire Safety Specialist. See Figure 324 as an illustration of potential wildfire hazard areas. R324.3 Alternate materials and methods of compliance. The provisions of this section are not intended to prevent the use of any material or method of compliance not specifically prescribed by this section, provided any alternate has been approved and its use authorized by the building official. The building official may approve any such alternate, provided it is found that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the provisions of this section and this code and that the material or method of work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent of that prescribed in this section in suitability, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. The building official shall require that sufficient evidence or proof be submitted to substantiate any claims that may be used regarding use of the alternate. The details of any action granting approval of an alternate shall be recorded and entered in the files of the Department of Building Safety. R324.4 Definitions. For the purpose of this section, certain terms are defined as follows: Combustible - a material that fails to meet the acceptance criteria of the Standard Method of test for determination of non-combustibility in building materials. 14 Combustible construction - a type of construction that does not meet the requirement for noncombustible construction. Defensible space - a natural or man-made area, where woody vegetation capable of allowing a fire to spread unchecked has been treated or modified to slow the spread and reduce the intensity of an advancing wildfire, and to create an area for fire suppression operations to occur. Fire-resistive construction - construction designed to resist the spread of fire. Fire-resistive rating - is the time that the material or construction will withstand the standard fire exposure as determined by a fire test made in conformity with the standard methods of fire tests of buildings construction and materials. Fire-retardant-treated wood - any wood product impregnated with chemicals by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, and which shall have a flame- spread index of not over 25. Fire separation - a construction assembly that acts as a barrier against the spread of fire. Firewall assembly - a type of fire separation of noncombustible construction which subdivides a building or separates adjoining buildings to resist the spread of fire and which has a fire-resistance rating and structural ability to remain intact under conditions for the required fire-rated time. Flame-resistant material - material that has been modified in its chemical composition by impregnation, coating or has inherent composition that makes the material resistant to ignition and combustion when exposed to a small ignition source. Flame retardant - is an approved chemical compound or mixture which, when applied in an approved manner to any fabric or other material will render such fabric or material incapable of supporting combustion. Flame-spread index (FSI) - a relative index describing the surface-burning characteristics of building materials. The test used to establish FSI evaluates the flame spread over the building material surface when exposed to a test fire. The rate at which flame spreads across the specimen is compared on a scale of 0 for inorganic reinforced cement board, to 100 for red oak. The following table identifies the flame-spread index and Flame Spread Classification: Flame Spread Classification Flame Spread Index Class I 0 to 25 Class 11 26 to 75 Class 111 76 to 200 15 Fuel - combustible material. Noncombustible - materials that meet the acceptance criteria of the Standard Method of test for determination of non-combustibility in building materials. Noncombustible Construction - a type of construction in which a degree of fire safety is attained by the use of noncombustible materials for structural members and other building assemblies. One-hour Fire-resistive Construction - will "withstand the standard fire exposure" for one-hour "as determined by a fire test made in conformity with the standard methods of fire tests of building construction and materials." Slash - unusual concentrations of downed fuel resulting from such natural events as wind, fire, or snow breakage or such human activities as timber harvesting, road construction, or building construction. Wildfire Hazard - the relative likelihood that a fire, once started, will become disastrous. Disastrous means the destruction of life and improved property. Wildfire Hazard Area - an area in the Town of Estes Park prone to wildfires as identified in the Estes Valley Development Code, including the map, or as identified by the Colorado State Forest Service or the Larimer County Wildfire Safety Specialist. Wildfire mitigation - any action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to human life and property from wildfire. Wildfire Mitigation: R324.5 Fire-resistive Construction.

Delete Chapter 34 Existing Structures. ADD CHAPTER 36 - WILDFIRE HAZARD MITIGATION WILDFIRE HAZARD MITIGATION REQUIREMENTS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION 3601.0 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish minimum standards for design and construction of new buildings or portions thereof for the protection of life and property from wildfire. 3601.1 Scope. Within a wildfire hazard area, as defined in the Estes Valley Development Code (EVDC), all new building construction, including additions and accessory structures, shall comply with the provisions of this section. New building construction shall include all new structures. For additions to or changes in character of the occupancy or use of existing buildings, the defensible space shall be provided around the entire building. To identify wildfire hazard areas the Estes Valley Development Code utilizes the Wildfire Hazard Map in the Estes Valley Development Code Appendix A, the Colorado State Forest Service or the Larimer County Wildfire Safety Specialist. See Figure 324 as an illustration of potential wildfire hazard areas. 3601.2 Alternate Materials and Methods of Compliance. The provisions of this chapter are not intended to prevent the use of any material or method of compliance not specifically prescribed by this chapter, provided any alternate has been approved and its use authorized by the building official. The building official may approve any such alternate, provided it is found that the proposed design is satisfactory and complies with the provisions of this chapter and this code and that the material or method of work offered is, for the purpose intended, at least the equivalent to that prescribed in this chapter in suitability, effectiveness, fire resistance, durability and safety. The building official shall require that sufficient evidence or proof be submitted to substantiate any claims that may be used regarding use of the alternate. The details of any action granting approval of an alternate shall be recorded and entered in the files of the Department of Building Safety. 3602.0 Definitions. For the purpose of this section, certain terms are defined as follows: 17 Conibustible - a material that fails to meet the acceptance criteria of the Standard Method of test for determination of non-combustibility in building materials. Combustible construction - a type of construction that does not meet the requirement for noncombustible construction. Defensible space - a natural or man-made area, where woody vegetation capable of allowing a fire to spread unchecked has been treated or modified to slow the spread and reduce the intensity of an advancing wildfire, and to create an area for fire suppression operations to occur. Fire-resistive construction - construction designed to resist the spread of fire. Fire-resistive rating - is the time that the material or construction will withstand the standard fire exposure as determined by a fire test made in conformity with the standard methods of fire tests of buildings construction and materials. Fire-retardant-treated wood - any wood product impregnated with chemicals by a pressure process or other means during manufacture, and which shall have a flame- spread index of not over 25. Fire separation - a construction assembly that acts as a barrier against the spread of fire. Firewall assembly - a type of fire separation of noncombustible construction which subdivides a building or separates adjoining buildings to resist the spreadof fire and which has a fire-resistance rating and structural ability to remain intact under conditions for the required fire-rated time. Flame-resistant material - material that has been modified in its chemical composition by impregnation, coating or has inherent composition that makes the material resistant to ignition and combustion when exposed to a small ignition source. Flame retardant - is an approved chemical compound or mixture which, when applied in an approved manner to any fabric or other material will render such fabric or material incapable of supporting combustion. Flame-spread index (FSI) - a relative index describing the surface-burning characteristics of building materialÂ§. The test used to establish FS! evaluates the flame spread over the building material surface when exposed to a test fire. The rate at which flame spreads across the specimen is compared on a scale of 0 for inorganic reinforced cement board, to 100 for red oak. The following table identifies the flame-spread index and Flame Spread Classification: Flame Spread Classification Flame Spread Index Class I 0 to 25 Class 11 26 to 75 18 Class 111 76 to 200 Fuel - combustible material. Noncombustible - materials that meet the acceptance criteria of the Standard Method of test for determination of non-combustibility in building materials. Noncombustible Construction - a type of construction in which a degree of fire safety is attained by the use of noncombustible materials for structural members and other building assemblies. One-hour Fire-resistive Construction - will "withstand the standard fire exposure" for one-hour "as determined by a fire test made in conformity with the standard methods of fire tests of building construction and materials." Slash - unusual concentrations of downed fuel resulting from such natural events as wind, fire, or snow breakage or such human activities as timber harvesting, road construction, or building construction. Wildfire Hazard - the relative likelihood that a fire, once started, will become disastrous. Disastrous means the destruction of life and improved property. Wildfire Hazard Area - an area in the Town of Estes Park prone to wildfires as identified in the Estes Valley Development Code, including the map, or as identified by the Colorado State Forest Service or the Larimer County Wildfire Safety Specialist. Wildfire mitigation - any action taken to eliminate or reduce the long-term risk to human life and property from wildfire. Wildfire Mitigation: 3603.0 Fire-resistive Construction. Fire-resistive construction shall be required for all new construction and shall be one of the following types: 1.

These regulations shall be known as the Plumbing Code of the Town of Estes Park hereinafter referred to as "this code." 101.3 Intent. The purpose of this code is to provide minimum standards to safeguard life or limb, health, property and public welfare by regulating and controlling the design, construction, installation, quality of materials, location, operation and maintenance or use of plumbing equipment and systems. The intent of this code is to meet or exceed the requirements of the State of Colorado Plumbing Code. When technical requirements, specifications or standards in the State Plumbing Code conflict, the more restrictive shall apply. Specifically, the State Plumbing Code shall apply in those instances where this does not provide technical requirements, specifications or standards. This shall apply in those instances where the State Plumbing Code does not provide technical requirements, specifications or standards. Should the State Plumbing Code and this code each provide technical requirements, specifications or standards on any single matter in terms so distinct that determining which is more restrictive is not readily apparent, the State Plumbing Code shall apply. 103.1 General. The department of building safety is hereby created and the executive official in charge thereof shall be known as the building official hereinafter referred to as the code official. 103.2 Appointment. The Director of Community Development shall appoint the code official, and the code official shall not be removed from office except for cause and after full opportunity to be heard on specific and relevant charges by and before the appointing authority. 106.5.3 Expiration. Every permit issued by the building official under the provisions of this code shall expire 18 months after the date of issue. Every permit shall also become null and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date of issue of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days, or if the person or entity to whom the permit is issued fails to request a first inspection within 180 days of the date of such permit. Before such work can be recommenced, a new permit shall be first obtained to do so. The fee for such new permit shall be one-half the amount required for a new permit for such work, provided no changes have been made or will be made in the original plans and specifications for such work and provided further that such suspension or abandonment has not exceeded one year. Changes in the plans and specifications shall require an additional permit fee and plan review fee as described in Section R108. Any nullified 1 permit where the suspension or abandonment has exceeded one year will require the permittee to pay a new building permit fee based on the current project valuation. Any person/permittee holding an unexpired and valid permit may apply for an extension of time to commence work, return to work, or complete work under that permit by submitting a written request describing good and satisfactory reasons for such extensions. This request must be received prior to the date on which the original permit expires or becomes null and void. The building official shall determine whether the reasons for such extension are sufficient to approve the extension. An extended permit is valid for 18 months from date of the extension, does not require compliance with codes adopted since the original permit was issued, and does not require payment of new fees. The building official may approve further modification to the three year expiration date due to hardship, such as, death, serious health problems, foreclosure, bankruptcy, or involuntary property transfer imposed by law. The permittee shall submit a letter documenting the hardship, pay an extension fee and provide a definitive time when the structure will be completed. 106.6.1 Work commencing before permit issuance. Any person who commences any work on a building, structure, gas, mechanical, electrical or plumbing system before obtaining the necessary permits shall be subject to an investigation fee equal to the permit fee. An investigation fee, in addition to the permit fee, shall be collected whether or not a permit is then or subsequently issued. The investigation fee shall be equal to the amount of the permit fee required by this code. The minimum investigation fee shall be the same as the minimum fee set forth in Table 1-A. The payment of such investigation fee shall not exempt any person from compliance with all other provisions of this code nor from any penalty prescribed by law. Exteption: Contractors shall be assessed an investigation fee equal to three times the permit fee. 106.6.2 Schedule of permit fees. On buildings, structures, electrical, gas, mechanical and plumbing systems or alterations requiring a permit, a fee for each permit shall be paid as required, in accordance with Table 1-A - Building Permit Fees in the 2003 International Building Code. 106.6.3 Fee refunds. The building official shall authorize the refunding of fees as follows: 1. The full amount of any fee paid hereunder that was erroneously paid or collected. 2. Not more than eighty percent (80%) of the permit fee paid when no work has been done under a permit issued in accordance with this code. 3. Not more than eighty percent (80%) of the plan review fee paid when an application for a permit for which a plan feview fee has been paid is withdrawn or canceled before any plan review effort has been expended. 2 The building official shall not authorize the refunding of any fee paid except upon written application filed by the original permittee not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment. 107.3.4 Re-inspections. A re-inspection fee as set forth in the fee schedule may be assessed for each inspection or re-inspection when such portion of work for which inspection is called for is not complete or when corrections called for are not made. This section is not to be interpreted as requiring re-inspection fees the first time a job is rejected for failure to comply with the requirements of this Code, but as controlling the practice of calling inspections before the job is ready for such inspection or re- inspection. Re-inspection fees may be assessed when the inspection record card is not posted or otherwise available on the work site, the approved plans are not readily available to the inspector, for failure to provide access on the date for which inspection is requested, for deviating from plans requiring approval of the building official, or for failure to post a readily visible address as required. To obtain a re-inspection, the applicant shall pay the re-inspection fee in accordance with the fee schedule (Table 1- B) established in the IBC. In instances where re-inspection fees have been assessed, no additional inspection of the work will be performed until the required fees have been paid. 108.4 Violation penalties. Any person who shall violate a provision of this code or shall fail to comply with any of the requirements thereof or who shall erect, install, alter or repair plumbing work in violation of the approved construction documents or directive of the code official, or of a permit or certificate issued under the provisions of this code, shall be subject to penalties as prescribed by law. 108.5 Stop work orders. Upon notice from the code official, work on any plumbing system that is being done contrary to the provisions of this code or in a dangerous or unsafe manner shall immediately cease. Such notice shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner of the property, or to the owner's agent, or to the person doing the work. The notice shall state the conditions under which work is authorized to resume. Where an emergency exists, the code official shall not be required to give a written notice prior to stopping the work.
