Case #7: Adopt Ordinance Adopting The Minnesota State Building Code: Building Official Glyn Huff was present and stated that in reviewing the building codes, it came to the attention of City Staff that the State Building Code does not make any exceptions to the 65% plan review fee; the City is currently charging 45% for residential plan reviews and 65% for commercial plan reviews. City Staff is recommending adoption of an ordinance to bring the City into compliance with State Building Code with respect to plan review fees and establishing a procedure of annually reviewing that fee and amending it by resolution. Glyn noted that it is not mandatory for cities to adopt the Uniform Building Code (UBC). Councilmember DeLuca inquired as to why the City can't adopt just parts of the UBC. Glyn Huff replied that by not adopting the UBC, the City has the potential to sacrifice health, safety and welfare because the code is constantly changing.
