Chapter 59 of the Municipal Code "Building <br /> Permits and Fees" requires building permits for certain types of <br /> work valued over $350. Subdivision 1 of section 59.03 requires a <br /> permit for "any proposed work that will alter the structural <br /> framework or change the use or occupancy of any existing build- <br /> ing;" this appears to allow new structural framework to be exempt <br /> from a building permit if the valuation is under $350. <br /> Staff believes that any work involving structural framework of a <br /> building should require a permit. An example would be a small (6 <br /> foot by 8 foot deck) . This could be considered new structural <br /> framework and therefore exempt from a permit under the current <br /> building code. Staff believes this is not in the best interest of <br /> the public and therefore staff is suggesting that the code be <br /> modified to require all work involving structural framework <br /> require a permit. <br /> Ordinance No. 520 has been prepared by staff to accomplish this <br /> recommendation. <br /> Chapter 60 of the Municipal Code "Building Code and License Fees" <br /> was recently reviewed by the Building Inspector and the Depart- <br /> ment Secretary regarding work requiring a license. <br /> Ordinance No. 521 has been prepared to conform with State Sta- <br /> tutes and to clarify the types of work requiring a license from <br /> the City. <br /> /tiosil <br /> Ric <br /> City Engineer/Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends that the City Council waive the reading of <br /> Ordinances No. 520 and 521 and set November 23 , 1992 for the <br /> adoption of these Ordinances. <br />
