Case #7: Adopt Ordinance (Special Fire Protection Systems) to Include Chapter 1306 to the Minnesota Building Code (Continuation from 6/08/04 CC Meeting) Public Works Director Kapler reviewed that a public hearing was held to introduce this ordinance at the May 25, 2004 City Council meeting. He noted the inclusion of this chapter in City Code does not affect unattached one and two family homes unless they are over 8,500 square feet. The Fire Chief, Fire Code Inspector, and the Building Official all feel adopting Chapter 1306 is vital to the long-term safety and economic stability of the community. Councihnember Kurak clarified the 8,500 square feet in a single family home would include the basement and garage, as well as the garage on townhomes. Public Works Director Kapler responded in the affirmative. Councihnember Elvig noted there was some conversation earlier as to concern about what this does to the cost of the building. He spent time with Public Works Director Kapler and a few other folks, and there are equivalencies they need to look at to make these more affordable. This installation is simpler than he had thought, and it is his understanding there are other systems available that are UL listed, with a flexible hose with snap type fittings.
