• <br />• <br />AGENDA ITEM 7D <br />STAFF ORIGNINATOR: Michael Grochala <br />MEETING DATE: May 12, 2003 <br />TOPIC: Adopt 2003 Minnesota State Building Code and City Fee <br />Schedule. <br />VOTE REQUIRED: 3/5 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The City of Lino Lakes is currently enforcing the 1997 State Building Code and fee schedule. <br />The state has recently adopted a new state building code. To keep current with the latest revision <br />of the state building code as required, it becomes necessary for the city council to adopt this <br />ordinance. The City Council approved the First Reading of the Ordinance on April 14, 2003. <br />The Second Reading was held on April 28, 2003 and subsequently tabled due to concerns over <br />requirements for sprinkling aircraft hangers. <br />The State Building Code contains some optional chapters that cities may adopt.

A comparison of requirements of the old and new code, <br />prepared by Centennial Fire Department, is attached. <br />One notable change does require sprinkling of aircraft hangers exceeding 2,000 square feet. This <br />requirement would apply to any hangers constructed in the Lino Airpark or at Surfside. <br />Residential Aircraft Hangars are defined in the Building Code as an accessory building less than <br />2,000 square feet and 20 feet in height, constructed on a one or two family residential property <br />where aircraft are stored. Such use is considered as a residential accessory use incidental to the <br />dwelling. <br />Aircraft hangars exceeding 2,000 square feet are categorized as a S -1, moderate - hazard storage <br />occupancy. The S -1 category includes uses that due to the size of building and storage <br />characteristics create a greater potential for fire. While the proposed sprinkling requirements <br />
