Motion to Approve Ordinance 392 to Amend Sections 900.04 Subd. 1,900.04 Subd. 2, and <br />900.05 of the Arden Hills City Code Regarding the Minnesota State Building Code. <br /> <br />2. Motion to Approve Publishing a Summary of Ordinance 392 (requires 4/5 vote). <br /> <br />Backl!round <br /> <br />This past year, the State adopted a new Building Code. The State went from the 2000 <br />International Codes Council (ICe) Codes to the more current 2006 ICC Codes. Even though the <br />City has adopted the Code as amended from time to time, the State recommends readopting the <br />State Building Code due to the change in the numbering of optional code 1306. Option I in 1306 <br />is now part of the code and is no longer available. Prior to the rernoval of this option, cities <br />could exempt certain buildings frorn fire sprinkler requirements. Arden Hills did not adopt the <br />exemption; therefore, this code change does not impact how the code is applied in Arden Hills. <br />This amendment is sirnply a numbering change for the Arden Hills code. <br /> <br />\IMetro-inet.uslardenhillslBuildinglMemos\2006 State Building Code adoption.DOC <br /> <br />I <br />
