. , , „ <br /> COUNCIL COMMUNICATION FORM <br /> Economic & Urban Development Department Memorandum <br /> #OS-147 <br /> DATE: July 19, 2005 <br /> TO: Honorable Mayor Osborne and City Council <br /> FROM: Steve G City Manager <br /> . Dane Bragg, sistant City Manage� <br /> Randy Johne Construction Inspections Manager <br /> � <br /> SUBJEC Chapter 67.2; Residential Building Code <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: The Construction Inspections Division would <br /> like to recommend the following addition to Appendix G of the 2000 International <br /> Residential Building Code which pertains to Swimming Pools and Hot Tubs. The <br /> addition reads as follows: "A wall of a swimming pool shall not be located less than 6 <br /> feet from any rear or side property line". <br /> BACKGROUND: This required distance from property lines has always been enforced <br /> and was included as part of the 1993 and 1999 BOCA Building Codes which were used <br /> as our model codes until December 2003. At that time,we adopted the 2000 <br /> International Residential Code which did not have the setback requirement. We feel that <br /> this requirement is necessary to maintain a safer pool installation. <br /> POTENTIAL OBJECTIONS: Since these rules have always been enforced and is <br /> included in our pool information brochure, there should be no objections. <br /> INPUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: The Planning Division of Economic &Urban <br /> Development Department. � <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: Randy Johner, Construction Inspections Manager @ 424-2787 <br /> or rciohner(cr�,decaturnet.org. <br /> BUDGET/TIME IMPLICATIONS: None. <br /> RJ/It <br />
