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

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