TO;Ron Moorse, City Administrator <br />FROM: Jeanne A. Mabusth, Building & Zoning Administrator <br />DATE:January 22, 1993 <br />SUBJECT;Appointment of Members to the Building Code Board of <br />Appeals Per UBC Section 204 and as Amended in Rules <br />1305.0500 <br />The Board of Appeals shall be appointed by the Council and Council <br />shall require the Board to meet whenever a resident or builder <br />disagrees with an interpretation or application of the Building <br />Code by the City's Building Official and requests a hearing before <br />the Board. The last Board of Appeals was held approximately two <br />years ago and was requested by Jim Rivers and his builder over the <br />issue of an alternate method for sprinkling his new commercial <br />structure. <br />Please note the Board shall not have the authority to interpret the <br />administrative provisions of the Code nor shall it be allowed to <br />waive requirements of the Code. If an applicant has provided an <br />alternative method of achieving what he feels the Code requires, <br />the Board allows for the review of this method and makes a final <br />decision. The Board functions independently of the Council. <br />The Orono Board of Appeals has always consisted of five members all <br />professionally involved in some aspect of building construction. <br />The current slate recommended for your approval has served for the <br />past few years. All have agreed to serve again as needed. The <br />five recommended for 1993 are as follows: <br />Steve Anderson, a Minnetonka Fire Inspector. Anderson works <br />closely with the Building Department in matters involving use <br />of the State Fire Code. <br />Tom Anderson, the Building Official with the City of Hopkins. <br />Maureen Bellows, a registered architect and member of the <br />Planning Commission. <br />Jim Hanson, a local builder familiar with the City's Building <br />Department and its operation. <br />Theodore Paulfranz, City of Edina Firechief.
