Regular City Council Meeting Monday, October 17, 2016 Page 4 Chief O’Neill stated he would consult with the City Planning Department and make appropriate revisions for clarification accordingly. Section 902.08 Mayor Roe referenced Item B and locations designated in “Section 1.1,” seeking clarification if that was referring to State Fire Code or a Roseville City Code. Chief O’Neill advised that referred to State Fire Code, and at the request of Mayor Roe, stated that would be clarified on the next draft. Specific to open flame fires on apartment balconies, Councilmember Willmus suggested “multi-family” balconies be used in the language versus “apartments.” Chief O’Neill advised that State Fire Code would be Group R-2, but agreed it could be changed to R-2 and duly noted that request. On the heading, Councilmember Laliberte asked if the heading (line 233) “Open Flame and Fuel Storage Prohibited” would also be changed as well. Mayor Roe suggested that may be a cut and paste error from the Fire Code; with Chief O’Neill agreeing to check and reconcile the two. Councilmember McGehee asked if someone had something burning on their bal- cony, what the difference was whether or not it was UL listed or if that meant it could be hooked up directly to the gas line, even though it still resulted in an open flame on a balcony. Councilmember McGehee asked what the goal was, how something was fueled or addressing any open flame. Chief O’Neill responded that the intent was to prevent charcoal or propane type burning as frequently seen with grills on a balcony. Councilmember McGehee asked if there was a significant difference in the type of fire with a gas or propane grill versus something tied to a gas line coming from an apartment as it related to causing a fire on a balcony. Chief O’Neill responded that obviously there was no difference in the fire, but the difference was in how they were used. Chief O’Neill noted that a propane storage vessel would sit on the apartment balcony and/or be transported back and forth through the apartment, prohibited by Fire Code. With this prohibition, Chief O’Neill advised that would remove the possibility of that transport through the building, and avoid storage of the source of flammable liquids between uses. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Chief O’Neill advised that the “listed” meant that electric barbeques or smokers could be plugged in and were accepted if UL listed.
