<br />Summary: <br /> <br />To maintain the current level of building code rules and protection and after discussion with the <br />Fire Chief and Fire Marshal, I would recommend the City to adopt the 2020 Minnesota State <br />Building Code by ordinance and to include the following optional provisions. <br /> <br />1. Minnesota Rules Chapter 1306 with Subpart 2, Existing and New Buildings. All floors, <br />basements, and garages are included in this floor area threshold. <br /> <br />2. Minnesota Rules Chapter 1335, Floodproofing Regulations. The rule adopts by reference <br />sections 100 through sections 1406 of the 1972 edition of the “Floodproofing <br />Regulations” from the Office of the Chief Engineers, U.S. Army, Washington, D.C., and <br />made part of the State Building Code. <br /> <br />3. Appendix Chapter K (Grading), of the 2018 International Building Code. <br /> <br />Note: As stated in Minnesota State Building Code Administration Rules 1300.0160, fees <br />established by the municipality must be fair and reasonable and proportionate to the cost of <br />service for which the fee is imposed. The City will have to review their costs and determine <br />whether or not an update to the Fee Schedule is needed for permit fees. <br /> <br />For additional information: http://www.dli.mn.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/guide-2020.pdf <br /> <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Approve Ordinance 850, Adopting the 2020 Minnesota State Building Code, and authorize <br />summary publication of the Ordinance. <br />
