Mayor (;amec asked if there are any problems relating to Fire Code on these units. <br /> <br />Public Works Director Kapler replied the units should be required to be UL listed. He indicated <br />there is at least one of these units in town and there have been a handful of complaints about <br />smoke migrating to neighbors. He would like to research the distance required by other cities. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig noted the height of the stack could have an effect on the effects of the unit <br /> well. <br /> <br />[)upont. 154m Lane NW, stated he is interested in having one of these wood burning stoves. Gas <br />prices are high and people are trying to determine alternative means to heat their homes. He <br />would like to have an idea on what this ordinance would cover. He commented if a home is <br />located in the middle of one acre you would be hard pressed to get 75 feet in either direction for <br />the placement of the unit. The recommended safety margin is 50 feet. He stated the Council <br />sl~ould keep in mind that people are trying to save money the best they can. <br /> <br />iVlayor (iamec explained in general the Council would likely agree to these units in certain areas, <br />but not likely in urban residential areas.
