ATTACHMENT 2 <br />Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2025 7:24 AM <br />To: David Englund <David.Englund@cityofroseville.com> <br />Subject: RE: City adoption of deleted Residential Code Sections <br />Caution: This email originated outside our organization; please use caution. <br />Good morning Dave, <br />Thank you for your inquiry. Minnesota Statute 326B.121, Subd. 2 (c) states that “A municipality <br />must not by ordinance, or through development agreement, require building code provisions <br />regulating components or systems of any structure that are different from any provision of the State <br />Building Code.”https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/326b.121 This portion of the statute <br />does allow for a property maintenance code. It also allows a local municipality to modify foundation <br />requirements due to specific geological formations, like Woodbury having deeper foundation <br />requirements because of their clay deposits. <br />I have read through the section that your city council is interested in adopting and believe it merits <br />incorporation into the State Building Code. Although technically your city council can’t adopt an <br />ordinance for something specifically addressed by the State Building Code (even through deletion) <br />due to statutory prohibition, I will submit a Code Change Proposal to the Residential Building Code <br />Technical Advisory Group and we can very likely get the language incorporated into the next <br />generation of Minnesota Residential Code. It will likely not be published and enforceable until the <br />third quarter of next year. <br />Many thanks for bringing this to my attention Dave. <br />Best regards, <br />Greg <br />Greg Metz <br />Assistant Director | State Building Official <br />From: David Englund <David.Englund@cityofroseville.com> <br />Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2025 3:35 PM <br />To: Metz, Greg (DLI) <greg.metz@state.mn.us> <br />Subject: City adoption of deleted Residential Code Sections <br />You don't often get email from david.englund@cityofroseville.com.
