15 AIRPLANE HANGAR CODE REQUIREMENTS UPDATE, MICHAEL
16 GROCHALA

18 Community Development Director Grochala advised City staff has been working with
19 Milo Bennett, Centennial Fire Chief, to identify options to resolve the airplane hangar
20 sprinkling issues associated with the Lino Air Park and Century Farms North
21 developments. The City received an interpretation from the State Building Codes office
22 regarding this issue, which was included in the Council packets.
23
24 Community Development Director Grochala stated the City operates under the Minnesota
• 25 State Building Code which includes the International Building Code (IBC) and as a
26 subset the International Residential Code (IRC) which deals with one and two-family
27 residential structures. As stated in the interpretation provided by the state, if the hangars
28 are constructed under the IBC, which defines residential hangars as having a maximum
29 size of 2,000 square feet, then the limitations set forth in that code would apply.
30 However, the definition of accessory structures within the IRC does not differentiate
31 between residential accessory buildings and aircraft hangars. Under such interpretation
32 residential hangars would be treated the same as other residential accessory structures
33 (i.e., garage, pole barn etc.).
34
35 Community Development Director Grochala stated based on the state's comments and
36 concerns raised by the Lino Air Park, staff will move forward with permit reviews based
37 on the IRC. This will allow for hangar construction without the installation of sprinklers.
38 However, it should also be noted that this interpretation also eliminates more stringent
39 requirements for fire separation setbacks and fire wall construction.
40
41 Community Development Director Grochala advised staff would continue to work with
42 the Centennial Fire Department to seek an amendment to the next building code that
43 clarifies this issue. No further action by the Council is required.
