At that time staff was requested to bring forward information on 1306 to a future meeting to be reviewed. It was noted that even if no changes occurred they would have a better understanding of why it is in place and have a better understanding when/if business owners raise questions. HISTORY OF 1306 AND ANDOVER • September 16, 1986 Meeting Minutes Fire Chief Bob Palmer proposed the adoption of Statute 130.150 with support from the Building Official. City Council was concerned with increased costs for construction and asked staff to look into additional costs and how many cities have adopted the code. • October 21, 1986 Meeting Minutes— Recommendation from David Almgren, City of Andover Building Official, to wait until the adoption of the 1985 code is adopted by the state as it allowed for flexibility of adopting sprinkler requirements for buildings 2,000 square feet and greater or 5,000 square feet and greater. Staff s recommendation was for adopting the 5,000 square feet and larger. • March 3, 1987 Meeting Minutes —David Almgren, Building Official recommended adopting the 1985 Building Code and all other related codes including the optional fire suppression systems which has an exemption of 5,000 square feet. (Floodproofing was adopted as well). • March 4, 1997 — Adoption of Ordinance 19Q which consolidated Ordinance 19. This was a "Non Discussion" item. The Ordinance also adopted 1306 Special Fire Protection System with Option 8A. and 1335 Floodproofing regulations parts 1335.0600 to 1335.1200. • February 16, 1999 — Adoption of Amendment No. 205 adopting the current building codes, adopted by the state on October 5, 1998. 1306 Special Fire Protection System with Option 8A was included along with Floodplain. This was a "Non Discussion" item. • May 6, 2003 —Adoption of Ordinance No 205B Amendment/Adopt New State Building Code as Consent Item. Adoption of Chapter 1306, Special Fire Protection Systems 1306.0020 Subp. 2 and 1306.0030 E option 1. • August 8, 2007 —Adoption of Newest Edition of Minnesota State Building Code/ Chapter 1306 This was a consent item. BUILDING CODE AND SPRINKLERS Building Code identifies "uses or occupancy" ("uses" may be different from "land use") of buildings and classifies them into different categories based on the activities within the building. Building Code on its own does require certain "uses" to be sprinkled. Building code utilizes two basic methods of fire protection: 1. Active (automatic sprinkler systems) 2. Passive (fire -resistive construction) The building code sometimes can require both systems to be used on the same building based on the area, height and occupancy being proposed. 1306 AND SPRINKLER REQUIREMENTS This Chapter authorizes optional provisions for the installation of on premise fire suppression systems that may be adopted by a municipality in addition to the State Building Code. If the municipality adopts them, the sprinkler system requirements of this Chapter become part of the State Building Code and are applicable throughout the municipality. This chapter (1306), if adopted must be adopted without amendment. On May 6, 2003 the City of Andover adopted 1306. The language that specifically addresses sprinklers is below: 1306.0020 MUNICIPAL OPTION. Subp. 2. Existing and new buildings. Automatic sprinkler systems for new buildings, buildings increased in total floor area (including the existing building), or buildings in which the occupancy classification has changed, must be installed and maintained in operational condition within the structure. The requirements of this subpart apply to structures that fall within the occupancy classifications established in part 1306.0030, items A to D. Exception: The floor area of minor additions that do not increase the occupant load does not have to be figured into the square footage for occupancy classifications established in part 1306.0030, items A to D. Fred Patch, Building Official and Jerry Streich, Fire Chief / Emergency Management Director will both be present for this discussion with the EDA. Staff intends to provide higher level overview on 1306 and respond to questions the EDA may have. R tfull su mi d, Joe Janish Attachments: City Council Meeting Minutes from September 16, 1986 City Council Meeting Minutes from October 21, 1986 City Council Meeting Minutes from March 3, 1987 City Council Consent Agenda Item 14 from August 8, 2007 Regular City Council Meeting September 16, 1986 - Minutes Page 6 (Court Order/Walden, Continued) sentence and has been unable to find a solution. He was to remove the truck by today. He asked for consideration to temporarily be allowed to keep his truck on his property during the day until he can find a way to get to it to go to work, stating this action really jeopardizes his livelihood. He felt he would be able to resolve the problem within one week. Mr. Walden also felt the law needs to be examined, feeling it is very unfair that someone driving only one truck, his own truck, on his own property should receive as severe a penalty as he did. Council discussion with Mr. Walden and the Attorney noted the agreement between the prosecuting attorney was to be in compliance within seven days (by today) to avoid the jail sentence. Attorney Hawkins advised the Council can authorize an extension of that date for compliance if the Council feels there is justification. Given the personal circumstances encountered.by Mr. Walden, Council agreed to grant an extension of time of seven days in which to find a place to park the truck, emphasizing there will be no further extensions in this matter. FIRE DEPARTMENT/SPRINKLING CODES Fire Chief Bob Palmer discussed the proposed adaption of Statute 130.150, Sprinkling Codes, stating the Building Official is in agreement with the code. A concern raised by the Council was what effect this would have relative to increased costs to: the:construction ofibuildings, especially ;to the smaller: buildings and those that.are notcserved with municipal water. They also questioned whether it would be necessary for cold storage buildings. Fire Marshal Ray Sowada stated they are now allowed to use a plastic tubing, which has decreased the cost of sprinkling systems considerably. Also, installing a sprinkling system can save in the overall construction because other items can then be eliminated. After some discussion, Council asked that the Fire Department determine how many cities have adopted this code, can the City adopt a code suited just to Andover, and what would the additional cost be for various sized buildings such as 2,000, 4,000 and 12,000 SF buildings. Discussion was also on the proposed County building to be constructed within the City. It was the Fire Department's desire and recommendation that it be sprinkled; the County was not willing to do so. Council thought the building permit had not yet been applied for, questioning whether an adoption of a sprinkling code at this time would be retroactive to that County building. Attorney Hawkins stated it is a question of at what point do they have a vested right to continue with their building. There is case law that they have to have started construction on site, but it is a Council decision as to haw strongly they feel on this issue. It was agreed the Fire Department and the Building Official will research the open questions and the item will be placed on the October 7 Council agenda. DISEASED ELM TREES Council reviewed the September 16, 1986, Request for Action where Ray Sowada asked for Council action regarding the removal of diseased elm trees being brought to the property of 160 Andover Boulevard. Council directed the City Attorney to proceed with prosecution for violation of the City's ordinance regarding diseased trees. Regular City Council Meeting October 21, 1986 - Minutes Page 7 FIRE DEPARTMENT/SP'RINKLING CODES David Almgren, Building Official, reviewed his memo concerning the Appendix: "E" State Code on Fire Suppression System, recommending the Council wait until the adoption of the 1985 State Building Code the end of this year or early next year. The present code calls for retail, warehouse, or manufacturing areas with 2,000 or more SF or 3 or more stories in height to be sprinkled. Under the new code, the Council will have the option of adopting eitherf a 2,000 or 5,000 SF requirement. After a brief discussion, Council agreed with Mr. Almgren's recommendation. MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Elling, that we table this until we get the new State Code. Motion carried on a 4 -Yes, 1 -Absent (Orttel) vote. ANDOVER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT Fire chief Bob Palmer reported the Department has received two checks for $100 each from residents who received help from the Department. Mayor Windschitl asked if there are adequate fire lanes within the junkyard areas, asking that the Department take whatever measures are necessary to bring those into compliance. Chief Palmer suggested the Councilmemberes go through that area with the Department. Council indicated that was a good idea. TONSON, INC./SPECIAL USE PERMIT d'Arcy Bosell, Zoning Administrator, reviewed a proposed resolution for rescinding the Special use Permit of Tonson, Inc., the tire shredding operation on Bunker Lake Boulevard. After discussion, the following motion was made: MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Knight, introducing a resolution setting a public hearing for revocation of a Special Use Permit for LaPanta and Tonson, Inc., before the Planning Commission for November 11. Motion carried on a 4 -Yes, i -Absent (Orttel) vote. AVFD/FUNDING FOR EQUIPMENT VAN Chief Palmer thought there was an oversight in the 1987 adopted budget, thinking no funds were budgeted for the bond payment for the equipment van. Mr. Schrantz indicated there were funds available from equipment that may be put toward this. Council agreed to hold this discussion until it can be researched in further detail. Regular City Council Meeting March 3, 1987 - Minutes Page 6 (Public Works/Purchase Mower, Continued) MOTION by Knight, that we allow Public Works Department to buy a mower not to exceed $9,229 by negotiating for a Toro Grounds Master or John Deere unit, with the unit to be paid out of the equipment fund, and subsequent Park Board budgets would be charged principle and Interest for five years. Motion carried unanimously. Mr. Stone asked for direction on the purchase of a sweeper for a cost of approximately $8,000. Council advised It be placed In the 1988 budget. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Lachlnski, that we allow the Fire Department to burn the old Vosika property in the vinclty of Hanson and Bunker Lake Boulevard and authorize the Clerk and Mayor to sign It. Motion carried unanimously. OPT ORDINANC David Almgren, Building Official, explained Ordinance 19G adopts the 1985 State Building Code and all other related codes. The optional Item of fire suppression systems has an exemption of 5000 S.F. And the floodproofing regulation must be adopted because the City has a flood plains and flood ordinance. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Lachlnski, Introducing Ordinance 19G as presented adopting the Minnesota State Building Code. Motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Elling, Seconded by Lachlnski, a Resolution establishing permit fees and service charges to be collected by the City of Andover and amending the Resolution R4-81 setting forth such fees, as presented. (See Resolution R029-87) Motion carried unanimously. Ray Sowada, Fire Marshal, presented copies of the 1984 Edition of NFPA 13D, the standard for the installation of sprinkler systems In one - and two-family dwellings and mobile homes for Council Information. He stated he is not advocating that sprinkler systems in residential dwellings be required, but that the Installation be regulated If a resident decides to have one Installed. Mr. Sowada explained at the present time there are no inspections of such installations to be sure they are installed according to the NFPA code. He understands the existing ones are hooking onto the line In H 1685 CROSSTOWN BOULEVARD N.W.. ANDOVER, MINNESOTA 55304 . (763) 755-5100 FAX (763) 755-8923 • WWW.CI.AN DOVER. M N.

DISCUSSION The City needs to update the City Code in this area or it will not be current in the regulations that should be followed. Section 1306 contains new code language that needs to be adopted by reference. The staff recommends the Council approve this proposed code amendment. See attached e-mail from the State and the new Section 1306 (attached) for further details.

To be specific, the questions all seem to be on the requirements for updating local code adoption ordinances for those who have adopted MN Rule Chapter 1306 — Special Fire Sprinkler Requirements. Again, in an effort to head -off numerous phone calls and further debate/discussion on this item, I am going to try and provide some additional information on this particular issue. The general question we are receiving seems to be.... "Do we have to update our local code adoption ordinance if we have used the regular perpetual code ordinance language and have addressed 1306 through that ordinance? die answer to that question is "YES." �The reason is because, if your current ordinance was written properly, you must specifically list/identify 1306 as an optional Rule part that you have chosen to adopt. Again, if written properly, you would've also listed/identifiedthe optional subparts of 1306 (for Group R occupancies) that you chose to enforce within your jurisdiction. Under the new 2007 MSBC 1306 Rule however, you will no longer have optional Group R occupancy provisions; therefore,'you will need to update your ordinance to reflect this new condition. (In addition, if you have chosen to adopt the optional Appendix K for grading and excavating, you will need to re -address this too, because Appendix K will now change to Appendix "J.") Once you re -adopt your local perpetual ordinance in this manner, assuming 1306 does not get amended again for the 2009 I -Codes (or ever again), you will not have to do this again for the next code cycle. For those of you who have adopted the long version of the example code ordinance, you will all have to re -adopt the code anyhow, as there are many changes within the list of Rule parts - and the general language - that have to be modified for the new cow i-�/1 i� /1 CI know this seems to be somewhat "trivial," but I have checked on this with CCLD staff and that is the official position of the Division.. If ` you do not update accordingly, any previous 1306 reference or version is automatically relinquished and becomes null and void on July 10, 2007 - 4 and you will legally have no special sprinkler ordinance adopted within your community. Remember, for those adopting the new version of 1306, you are responsible for sending a copy of your new code adoption ordinance to the CCLD-BCSU as soon as possible (in accordance with the Rule), so that we can check it and list you on the MNCODES site. For those that are considering - or have - rescinded the 1306 ordinance, we would appreciate it if you would inform us of that condition too so we can remove your city from the published list of those that have adopted ©1306. A copy of. the "new" 1306 Rue Chapter is attached to this email. This is the final version that you will see in the 2007 MSBC. ...Print and use as you wish! I hope this helps to clarify the issue.

Commissioner Brener decided to delay the code after receiving a request from a segment ofthe industry requesting extra time for training and production of the code materials. After considerable discussion, it was decided a 40 -day delay would not have an adverse impact on the code, yet would provide valuable time for stakeholders to obtain code materials and additional training for successful implementation of the code.
