MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />JUNE 25, 1997 <br />possible to change the tire rating on the walls adjoining the addition, add <br />smoke alarms, etc. Alsop pointed out that in addition to the cost, a <br />sprinkler system would be very unsightly given the existing ceilings. <br />Fahey asked if the situation were all or none and if there was another way <br />to address it. Fahey asked if there were alternative building codes that <br />could be adopted. Fahey felt Section 1306 appeared to be overreaching <br />for small additions, and asked if there was a way the City could use some <br />discretion in these situations. Fahey suggested the matter be tabled for <br />two weeks pending a report from the Building Official. Fahey indicated it <br />seems the affects of Section 1306 are overreaching in this case, and asked <br />if the City was allowed any discretion for small additions. <br />The City Administrator indicated that he can have the Building Official <br />report further on this matter. However, he did not believe there were any <br />options in addition to what has already been identified relative to Section <br />1306. <br />Fahey stated that he would like to challenge the Building Official to find <br />an option. Morelan suggested perhaps the City could write its own Code <br />and allow for small additions without the need for installation of a fire <br />suppression system. Scalze suggested the City look at how the City of <br />Bloomington addressed the situation. <br />Mr. Fahey introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />RESOLUTION NO. 97 -6 -151 — TABLING ACTION ON THE <br />REQUEST OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF THE <br />LATTER-DAY SAINTS FOR REPEAL OF STATE STATUTE <br />SECTION 1306 FOR TWO WEEKS AND REQUESTING THE <br />BUILDING OFFICIAL REPORT ON OPTIONS FOR ADDRESSING <br />THE CITY'S OB.IECTIVES IN A DIFFERENT WAY, THAT IS, <br />ALTERNATIVE BUILDING CODES, ETC <br />The foregoing resolution was duly seconded by LaVatle. <br />Ayes (5) Fahey, LaVatle, Scalze, Pedersen, Morelan. <br />Nays (0). Resolution declared adopted. <br />RECESS At this point in the meeting, 8:50 P.M., the Council took a short recess. <br />The meeting was reconvened at 9:00 P.M. <br />Page 11 <br />
