SHOREVIEW, MN 55126 <br />OFFICE (651) 481.7024' FAX (651) 486-8826 <br /> <br />December 03, 2007 <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />1245 W. Highway 96 <br />Arden Hills, MN 55112 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor and City Council, <br /> <br />After reviewing Chapter 1306 Special Fire Protection Systems of the 2006 Minnesota State <br />Building Code, it is my recommendation that the City of Arden Hills adopt this code with the <br />following options. <br /> <br />Subp. 2. Existing and New Buildings. <br />Automatic sprinkler systems for new buildings, buildings increased in total floor area <br />(including the existing building), or buildings in which the occupancy classification has <br />changed, must be installed and maintained in operational condition within the structure. The <br />requirements of this subpart apply to structures that fall within the occupancy classifications <br />established in part 1306.0030, items A to D. <br /> <br />Since the state of Minnesota adopted a new Building Code earlier this year all local <br />municipalities are required to formally re-adopt 1306. The re-adoption of 1306, will allow <br />the same level of sprinkler requirements that we have been able enforce in the past. At the <br />same time it is also my recommendation to re-adopt the 2006 Minnesota State Fire Code. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />1~ <br /> <br />Tim Boehlke <br />Fire Chief <br />Lake Johanna Fire Department <br /> <br />cc: Dave Scherbel, Building Official <br /> <br />SERVING' ARDEN HILLS.
