First Reading, Ordinance No. 6050 An Ordinance to Amend Provisions in the International Residential Code to Address Compressible, Shifting and Expansive Soils by Amending Chapter 15.13 of the Rapid City Municipal Code |
|||
|
Summary: |
|||
|
After the Council continued Ordinance 6009 adopting the International Residential Code at its April 6, 2015 meeting, staff drafted Ordinance 6050 to accompany Ordinance 6009. The intention is to permit the discussion of the issue of how to address compressible, shifting, and expansive soils on its own timeframe, while not impeding the adoption of the 2012 International Residential Code in Ordinance 6009. |

|
The Building Board of Appeals considered the language within this ordinance at its meetings on September 9, October 14, November 11, December 9, January 13, February 10, and March 10, with input from citizens, the Fire Department, other City staff, construction professionals, and homebuilders. There were at least five public meetings for contractors to talk with staff about this provision and the 2012 IRC, the latest one on March 18, and the individuals who attended were invited to the BBA meetings. Finally, staff met twice with the chairman of the BBA and members of the Black Hills Homebuilders. At its March 10, 2015 meeting, the Building Board of Appeals recommended approval of this language when it was located within Ordinance 6009 |
