Draft stops are a means of slowing the progress of a fire up the chimney chase. To follow is a synopsis of this issue and also questions that we would like the City Attorney's office to review further. 1. Approximately 20 townhomes with outside chimney chases were constructed in the late 70's to early 801s. Architectural plans for the units were submitted by Minnetonka Design. The plans did not show whether the chimneys contained draft stops. The building code at that time did require draft stops at every floor/ceiling penetration level, however, we can only assume that because the chimneys were completely separated from the unit by a wall, the architect may have determined that the intent of the code was being met without the stops. The City does not make a specific inspection for the interior of the chimney chase for fire stops, nor was an inspection conducted at that time to determine the number of draft stops in the chimney chase. 2. Recently, several of the townhome owners were complaining of deteriorating conditions for the support and framing of the chimneys. During reconstruction of the chimneys last year, Larry Spitz from the Homeowner's Association tried to contact Darrel Clark's office about the number of draft stops required. Darrel was on vacation, and his call was referred to the Fire Department. We believe Bob Aldrich handled the call. Although Bob does not recall the exact conversation, he did say that he would advise installation of one draft stop Draft Stops in Chimneys April 12, 1991 Page 2 because there were no floors/ceilings within the chimney chase. About 14 have been repaired and contain one draft stop. 3. Mr. Rochelle's complaint centered on confusion regarding whether or not one or three draft stops are required in his chimney. His contractor (who is not the same contractor who worked on the other chimneys) applied for a building permit to reconstruct the exterior of his chimney chase. Clyde Wiley conducted the first inspection and told the contractor that he was not sure if one or three draft stops should be installed (April 5, 1991). Wiley contacted Clark, and they determined that the most restrictive interpretation of the code was that three draft stops were required, one at each floor/ceiling level of the adjoining house. When it was learned that the original contractor of the first repairs made last year had only installed one at the first level above the fireplace (the most important one) , it was decided that we would allow Rochelle's contractor to repeat the same procedure. This was late afternoon on Friday, April 5, 1991. 4. On Monday morning, April 8, 1991, the contractor contacted Darrel to make sure he would only be required to put in the one draft. Darrel then called the State Building Code Division to get an opinion from them. Their interpretation was that each passing of a floor/ceiling would also need a fire stop; however, since the chase is outside the home, some doubt might exist. Since the contractor wanted to be sure he would meet the code, he elected and we agreed that he should install three, which he has now done. Mr. Rochelle believes that he was unfairly treated because he was told to install three stops whereas every other chimney in the area has one draft stop. 5. We contacted other communities in the metropolitan area. Those building inspectors agree with the interpretation of the code that draft stops should be installed within the chimney chase even though there is no floor/ceiling within the chase. Further, if the situation occurred in their communities where chimneys were constructed without the appropriate draft stops, they were not sure that they would order contractors to add the fire stop on units previously finaled out. They also commented that they don't always see all of the stops since they are not visible on a final inspection. 6. The question now is do we order the units without all the draft stops corrected. If we don't, we would like to know if the City would be liable for any damages caused by fire. If we do, would the City have to pay any of the cost of the Draft Stops in Chimneys April 12, 1991 Page 3 repairs. It is a majority consensus of our fire department and other inspectors and contractors that the first (lowest) draft stop is the most essential one and the expensive installation of the upper ones may not be warranted. 7. The additional stops do not contribute to the start of a fire, but would slow down its passage upward through the chase after the failure of the appliance. 8. Rochelle also inquired as to why plans for his unit are missing. The Uniform Building Code permits cities to destroy plans after 90 days after the project completion. The plans for Rochelle's unit and others in the Innsbruck North Townhouse Plat 5 were destroyed because revised plans were submitted for the group of units in Plat 6 to the east. The unit design in Plat 5 and 6 are essentially the same.

NEWM 1M V ATTORNEYS AT LAW Virgil C. Herrick M E M 0 R A N D U M James D,. Hoeft Gregg V. Herrick Of Counsel David P. Newman .� TO: Bill Burns, City Manager Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official FROM: Gregg Herrick, Assistant City Attorney DATE: April 16, 1991 RE: Draft Stops in Chimneys in West Brenner Pass Townhomes Concern has been raised with regard to the City's interpretation of the State building code as it pertains to the West Brenner Townhomes. The first concern involves approximately five townhomes which have not had any repairs to their original chimneys. It appears likely that these townhomes were constructed with no fire stops, clearly in violation of the code. These townhomes were constructed and inspected in the late 170's and early 1801s. The second problem with regard to these townhomes involves the City's interpretation of the fire code. When a number of these townhomes repaired and rebuilt their chimneys,, it appears they relied upon a code interpretation by the Fire Department. This interpretation led to the repair and installation of a single fire stop in each of the unit's chimneys. The most recent building permit disclosed that the Fire Department was interpreting the code differently than the Inspection Department. Because of the difference in interpretation of the code, Darrel Clark contacted the State` -as to their interpretation of this code requirement. While the State has indicated they favor the interpretation that would require three fire stops, one for each floor the chimney passes, Darrel Clark has indicated that other city inspectors have stated the code could be interpreted to require only one fire stop. The general rule in Minnesota is that a city cannot be held liable for negligent examination or inspection unless special circumstances exist to create a special duty to individual members of the public. The court has held that the examination and inspection of buildings for fire or other hazards is a public duty and, therefore, the city would not be subject to liability to specific individuals. The courts have indicated, however, that on a case-by-case basis, a special duty can be owed if the following are found: Suite 205, 6401 University Avenue N.E., Fridley, Minnesota 55432, 612-571-3850 Memo to Burns/Dacy/Clark April 16, 1991 Page 2 1. The city has actual knowledge of the dangerous condition. 2. The plaintiff has a reasonable reliance on specific recommendations of the municipality. 3. A statutory duty for municipal protection.of a particular class exists. 4. Municipal action which increases the risk of harm. Even though the City currently has actual knowledge of the situation and made specific recommendations as to the number of fire stops required, this is an issue which deals with an administrative interpretation of the code and which would most likely be interpreted as a public duty to which no liability would attach. In discussing this matter with the City's insurer, the League of Minnesota Cities, it was determined that because of the City's actual knowledge of the situation, the City should notify these individuals that its current interpretation of the code would require three fire stops to be installed in each chimney and that the City would recommend that they update the construction of their chimneys. Because this is an interpretation question regarding the code, it is our opinion that the City would not have an obligation to the homeowners to reconstruct the chimneys. As long as the City acted in good faith in making its interpretation, liability for reconstruction should not exist. The City should condition the issuance of future permits for repair or improvements on the installation of additional fire stops. With regard to Mr. Rochelle's complaints that the City should be responsible for the added costs to his remodeling for the installation of two additional fire stops, the City's current interpr'btation of. the code is in conformity with the State's interpretation of that code section and, therefore, the City would not have any liability for enforcement of that code. GVH:ldb FRIDLEY MUNICIPAL CENTER • 6431 UNIVERSITY AVE. N.E. FRIDLEY, MN 55432 • (612) 571-3450 • FAX (612) 571-1287 April 17, 1991 Frederick Rochelle 5435 West Brenner Pass N.E. Fridley, MN 55421 Dear Mr. Rochelle: This is to respond to your concerns that we discussed at your property on Thursday, April 11, 1991 regarding the number of draft stops within your chimney. I have assigned a number for each issue: 1. You inquired as to why the plans for your particular building do not exist. The plans for your unit and other units within the Innsbruck North Townhouse Plat 5 were destroyed in 1980 because revised plans were submitted to the Building Division on December 4, 1980. These revised plans pertain to the group of units immediately to the east in the Innsbruck North Townhouse Plat 6. The unit design in both plats are essentially the same; however, because minor revisions were done for Plat 6,. the City destroyed the former plans in order to avoid confusion and to save storage space. The Uniform Building Code does permit cities to destroy plans after 90 days after project completion. 2. You wanted an explanation as to why other townhome owners have one draft stop, while you were required to install three draft stops. During reconstruction of other chimneys last year, Larry Spitz stated that he spoke with someone at the City regarding the number of draft stops required. We have determined that Clark was on vacation during this time frame and Spitz's call may have been referred to the Fire Department. We believe that the Fire Department rendered an interpretation which required installation of only one draft stop because there are no floors/ceilings penetrating the chimney chase. It is true that the Building Division instructed your contractor on April 5, 1991 to install one draft stop. The contractor contacted Darrel Clark again on Monday, April 8, 1991 to make sure that only one draft stop was required. Clark stated that he believed three were required but in order to make absolutely certain, Clark contacted the State Building Frederick Rochelle April 17, 1991 Page 2 Code Division. The State stated that three draft stops should be required. Since the contractor and the City wanted to be sure that all code requirements are being -met, it was agreed that three stops should be installed. 3. You stated that you believe Darrel Clark should be terminated from his position. After reviewing the facts, there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Darrel Clark. It is unfortunate if that there were two different interpretations represented to the homeowners of the townhomes. Even the official from the State Building Code Division acknowledges that both interpretations could be legitimate. In fact, we talked to other inspectors in other communities and they also acknowledge that either interpretation could be made. After reviewing this information with the City Attorney, our interpretation now is that the 15 chimneys which contain one draft stop meets the intent of the code. While it would be best to have draft stops at each floor/ceiling level, we will not require those townhome owners to install additional draft stops. However, there are five units that we believe may not contain any draft stops, and we will be notifying them of the requirement to install the appropriate number of draft stops. Darrel Clark was always of the opinion that three stops should be installed. Unfortunately, a year ago the Fire Department determined that one stop would be sufficient. Given the interpretation from the State Building Code Division, the safest interpretation of the code is that a draft stop for each floor/ceiling level will be required whether or not it penetrates a chimney chase. I believe this addresses most of your concerns. We regret that our actions may have caused you some frustration. If you have additional questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I have been trying to contact you by phone at 10:00 a.m., noon, and 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16, 1991. Please note that I will not be in the office on Thursday and Friday, April 18 and 19, 1991.

CONSIDERATION OF BUILDING INSPECTION ISSUE RAISED BY FREDERICK ROCHELLE: Mr. Rochelle stated that his problem started in 1979 when the fireplaces in his dwelling unit were built. He stated that the inspector, Darrel Clark, signed off indicating his chimney was up to code. He stated Mr. Clark signed off on the framing and went on to explain this definition under the Uniform Building Code. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if he was quoting from the current building code or the code in effect in 1979. Mr. Rochelle stated that it is the current code and it was in effect in 1979. Mr. Rochelle stated that on some of the chimneys which Mr. Clark had signed off, they did not have any fire stops; however, his chimney had one stop. He stated that when the inspector was called to inspect his chimney Mr. Wiley, the inspector, told his contractor to add two additional stops. He stated that in questioning why this was necessary he was told by Mr. Wiley that it was code and there had to be one stop for every floor. Mr. Rochelle stated that his neighbor, Larry Spitz, and Mr. Wiley - called Mr. Clark (at his cabin) and confirmed that three fire stops were required. He stated the question was brought up that Mr. Clark signed off on all the rest of the chimneys. He stated that at this time, Mr. Clark told them to leave it at one and close it up. Mr. Rochelle stated that his contractor decided to make sure and called Mr. Clark (at his cabin) and asked if he was sure it was all right to leave it as one stop and close it up to which Mr. Clark replied in the affirmative. Mr. Rochelle stated that he was advised by his contractor what was happening, and he advised the contractor that this was going to court. He stated that his contractor responded that he was not going to close it up because the judge will say the contractor should know what should be done as well as the inspector. Mr. Rochelle stated that his contractor went to City Hall to talk to Mr. Clark, and Mr. Clark stated three stops were required. Mr. Rochelle stated that he then came to City Hall to talk with Mr. Clark, Mr. Wiley, and Mr. Hunt. He stated that Mr. Wiley stated there was a gray area, and people can interpret the code different ways. Mr. Rochelle stated that he asked Mr. Clark, before he had contacted the State of Minnesota, if he thought only one fire stop was required to which he had replied in the affirmative. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 14 Mr. Rochelle stated that Mr. Brooks from the State told him three fire stops were required and that it was black and white. Councilman Schneider stated that even if a mistake was made he asked Mr. Rochelle if he was implying it was intentional. Mr. Rochelle answered in the negative. Mr. Rochelle stated that if Mr. Clark had done his job in 1979, he would not be here this evening. He stated that he has heard from Mr. Hunt, Mr. Burns, and Mr. Clark that the City has only two inspectors and cannot stand out there and watch every stop that is installed, that they have to trust the contractors. He stated that if the City trusts the contractors then the inspectors are not needed. Mr. Rochelle stated that he felt because Mr. Clark signed off, the City should pay for the chimneys to be fixed. He stated that before a building contractor closes anything he must notify the City inspector. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Rochelle if he was seeking damages from the City. Mr. Rochelle stated that he is requesting that the residents be paid to have their chimneys fixed. He stated that he is asking the City to pay for the ones that have been fixed and need to be repaired again and for the other five remaining to be corrected. He felt that someone should inspect the fireplaces in the Vienna Townhomes and the other buildings. Mr. Rochelle stated that he would like an independent board to look at criminal wrongdoing by Mr. Clark and the City. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Rochelle what he was implying. Mr. Rochelle stated that he was asking for a board to determine if there was any criminal wrongdoing or:neglect. Mr. Larry Spitz, 5423 W. Brenner Pass, stated that the fireplaces have been a concern of his for well over a year. He stated that he was told by the Townhouse Association that a unit was going to be painted, that there was an obvious hole in the fireplace, and they were going to paint over it. He stated that he became concerned and found out that there is a missing piece of wood on the roofs. He stated that they were trying to figure out how the missing piece of wood was related to the rotting fireplaces. He felt that someone should address the problem with these fireplaces. Mr. Spitz stated that the fire stop issue has just recently surfaced. Councilman Schneider felt that the issue Mr. Spitz raised is between the homeowners and the Townhouse Association. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 15 Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked if Mr. Farr was contacted regarding these problems. Mr. Spitz stated that he has not been contacted. He stated that he talked to Danny Farr, and he looked at it but nothing has been done. Mr. Rochelle stated that every attorney states the statute of limitations has run out on these properties. Mr. Herrick stated that whether the statute of limitations has run out may be a fact question. He asked when the buildings were constructed. Mr. Spitz stated that they were constructed in 1977 and 1978. He stated that someone has to listen, and this is the reason he is here this evening. He stated that he served on the Townhouse Association Board until several weeks ago and resigned because of the fireplace issue. Mr. Spitz stated one insurance company that insured the outside of the buildings stated they were dropping the insurance because of a fire hazard due to the fireplaces. He stated that he went to the Association and was told that it is not their problem. Ms. Jeanne Lager, 5427 W. Brenner Pass, stated that she bought her townhome in 1987. She stated that she has replaced her chimney and did not consider it a fire hazard as, from. the time they were constructed, water kept coming down through them and did not know how a fire could even get started with it being so wet. She stated that when the chimneys were inspected in 1979 it should have been noticed that they did not function as chimneys. Ms. Lager stated that the construction was lousy and it should have been noted. She stated that her chimney was replaced with one fire stop, and she would like clarification whether she is in compliance with the code. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if she spoke to the contractor who replaced her chimney and if he felt the work was to code. She stated that she would like clarification, in writing, if her fireplace meets code. Ms. Lager answered in the affirmative and stated that she hired this contractor specifically because he had done so many, and he was a chimney expert. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she wished to clarify the purpose of the draft stop. She stated that it is to slow the progress of a fire up the chimney chase, but it will not prevent a fire per se. She stated that it should be noted the units were constructed with materials between the chimney chase itself and building. Ms. Dacy stated that perhaps the architect FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 16 that drew the plans thought the chimney chase was separated by appropriate fire walls. Ms. Dacy stated that at this point, the best interpretation is that there should be a draft stop for every occurrence where the chase passes a floor or ceiling. She stated that in conversations with the State Building Code Division this is an interpretation issue, and there could be a legitimate argument for one draft stop. She stated that at this point, the fourteen existing chimneys meet the intent of the code, and there was no intention to require the owners to install the additional stops. She stated that as far as the persons with the other five units, the interpretation is that wherever there is a floor or ceiling level there would be a draft stop. Mr. Darrel Clark, Chief Building Official, stated that the fire stops have not been an issue in the past. He stated that he and Ms. Dacy looked at the site and talked to Mr. Rochelle and Mr. Spitz. Mr. Clark stated that Mr. Spitz had indeed inquired as to fire stops last year. He called City Hall, was referred to someone in the Fire Department, and that person: told him the interpretation was that only one fire stop was required. He stated that this is probably why only one fire stop -was installed. Mr. Clark stated that his office did!make two inspections and has records on all fifteen fireplaces. He stated that there are fifteen permits to fix the chimney chases, and the original reason for fixing them was due to the appearance. He stated that his personal discussion with the contractor was that fire stops would be needed in all the chases and flashing that would prevent moisture problems. Mr. Clark stated that on the first framing inspection there were no stops in the chases at that time.i He stated that he was sure he mentioned to the contractor that his main purpose to inspect at this time was to make sure all rotted framing had been replaced and to tell him he had to put in fire stops. He stated that on the final inspection you cannot see inside the chimney at all. Mr. Clark stated that in 1979 he did make the framing, insulation, and final inspections on Mr. Rochelle's unit. He stated that at the time of the insulation inspection, he cannot recall if the fireplaces were in the building. He stated that it is not uncommon in the metropolitan area that separate chase inspections are not done. He stated that as far as a fire hazard, the fire hazard is not necessarily the chase and the 'fire stops, but it is the fireplace and the chimney. He stated that a lot of insurance companies will not insure homes with fireplaces especially those with Class "A" metal chimneys. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 17 Mr. Clark stated in conversations he had with Mr. Brooks that the subject of ordering corrections to be,done did not come up. It was Mr. Brooks' opinion that each floor/ceiling or ceiling the chase passed by should have a fire stop. The consensus of the other inspection contact was the same. Most agree, however, that since the chimney chase is outside the livable space of the home and has no floor or ceilings in it someone could argue that no fire stop is required. Mr. Clark stated he agreed that the most strict and safest interpretation is that a fire stop should be installed at each floor/ceiling or ceiling that it passes by. Councilman Schneider asked when an inspector signs off on the inspection, does he guarantee that the home is built to every possible item in the code? Mr. Clark stated that if this was done, someone would have to be on site at all times. He stated it is not uncommon that a fire stop could be missed, just as a missing two by four may go unnoticed. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she had done some remodeling and did not proceed until they were sure the inspection could be done. She stated that she knows contractors do not always stop at a certain point where the inspector can make their inspection but takes the work farther. She stated that she does not know if this was the case in this instance or not. She stated that from her own experience she has found that Mr. Clark has been very thorough in his inspections. Councilman Schneider stated that he suspects there are a lot of gray areas and asked Mr. Clark if he makes any judgments and records them. Mr. Clark stated that he does not try to make judgments on quality regarding how the construction will look when it is completed. He stated that he tries to insure the code is met, as best he can, for the amount of time he has to spend on the job. Mr. Herrick asked how long it has been known that there was a problem with rotting, as far as the fireplaces are concerned. Mr. Spitz stated in July, 1989 when the Association was going to paint over the holes was the first time he became aware of it. He stated that in 1988 Dick Larson was called regarding carpenter ants. Mr. Herrick stated his concern was that the Townhouse Association let this happen without making any contact with the builder of this project. He stated that the person primarily responsible for this is the builder, and he has not heard where anyone contacted Mr. Farr. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22, 1991 PAGE 18 Mr. Rochelle stated that is because the statute of limitations ran out. Mr. Herrick stated that is probably because the Townhouse Association was not doing anything about the problem. He stated that he would like to do some research as to whether the statute of limitations has run out because he is not sure that is true. He stated that it seems if the things were rotting since the day they were built someone should have done something about it long before now. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close discussion on this item in ten minutes. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mayor Nee stated that as he understands it Mr. Rochelle is proposing that the City accept the responsibility to rebuild the fireplaces. Mr. Herrick stated that he felt more facts and written statements were needed from the State building inspector. He felt that questions should be put in writing and the answers received in writing. He stated that this preserves the record and .has the affect of making certain the question is definite and the. answer is definite. Mr. Herrick stated that as far as the legal aspect, the general rule is the City building inspector and the City are not guarantors of the building that is being constructed and, with certain exceptions, the City and building inspector are not liable for errors that might have been made. He stated that all the facts are needed and then case laws have to, be reviewed. He stated that he would prepare a memo on the question of the City's liability. He stated there is no question in his mind that the primary person that should have been liable is the builder. He stated that if there was a separate contractor, that person also should have been liable. He stated that there is a question of liability on the part of the architect, and they all have the responsibility to construct according to code. Mr. Herrick stated that after he has.had the opportunity to review this matter further he would submit a report and would advise Council regarding the legal responsibility. He stated that if the City has some legal liability than the claim should be turned over to the City's insurance company.

Brenner Pass, stated that he is on the Council's agenda under Item 16 and wanted to let it be known to all that he requested to be under the Open Forum item. He stated that he had every television station and both newspapers coming out here, and he believed a move was made, because the Council knew that the television people would not stay around, to put him on the agenda later. Councilman Billings stated the Council has a policy that no action can be taken unless an item is an actual agenda item. He stated that he requested the City Manager to make this an official agenda item and that this is the first he knew he was doing something to thwart any publicity stunt. He stated the allegation that this was done to specifically preclude all the television. stations from being here is totally unjustified. He stated that this was done without malice and with the intent of it becoming an agenda item. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 22. 1991 PAGE 2 Mr. Rochelle stated that two weeks ago because of a certain situation, there was something that precluded him from coming that evening.

Building Code & Standards Div. 408 Metro Square Bldg Seventh & Robert St St. Paul, MN 55101 Re: Interpretation of Uniform Building Code Section 2516.2, Firestop, Where Required Dear Mr. Berdahl: We need your assistance regarding the number of firestops required in an exterior wood chase built around a Class "A" factory built chimney. Assume the building has more than one story, and that the "zero" clearance fireplace is located in the lowest level of the dwelling. The chase is separated from the dwelling by the exterior wall of the dwelling and the chase is open from bottom to top without any floor/ceiling interruptions. We feel that the most restrictive (safest) interpretation would be to install a firestop at each floor/ceiling or ceiling that the chase passes by, or line the inside of the chase with gypsum board. The problem we have is that a year ago, one of our personnel told one of our contractors that only one firestop was required at the first floor/ceiling of the adjacent house. There are 15 of these units that were constructed about 10 years ago and because there was a siding failure on the chases, the owners are replacing the siding. Our problem is that in the first 14 repaired chases, only one firestop was installed on which final approval was made. Would you please render us a written opinion on your interpretation for the number and location of firestops required for the above noted example. In addition, would you please comment on whether or not other interpretations of the Code might be considered or argued.

Clark Chief Building Official Fridley Municipal Center 6431 University Avenue North East Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Subject: Interpretation of Uniform Building Code Section 2516(f) 2. Fire stops, where required Dear Mr. Clark: The following is in response to your letter of inquiry regarding the above referenced subject. The 1990 Minnesota State Building Code, Administrative Rule Chapter 1305 adopts by reference the 1988 Uniform Building Code (UBC). We concur with your (safest) interpretation of current code..." to install a fire stop at each floor/ceiling or ceiling that the chase passes by or line the inside of the chase with gypsum board." Other fire stop materials per UBC Section 2516(f) 3 may also be utilized to line the chase under current code. Standard practice of 10 years ago (approximate date of construction) for chases for factory built chimneys located on the exterior of Type V buildings was to rely upon the structural wall sheathing and a single non-combustible (metal) fire stop within the chase. 1988 UBC Section 104, application to existing buildings, is applicable to these buildings. The alterations being performed affect only the replacement siding on the chases. The alterations being performed do not include replacement of chimneys or chase framing. The chase is an existing building element per UBC Section 104(c). This section states that the "existing" can remain unless the continued use can be determined to be dangerous to life. Darrel G. Clark Page 2 May 9, 1991 In order to enforce the current provisions of UBC Section 2516(f) 2, the administrative authority must prove that the existing situation constitutes a demonstrable danger to life. If a "danger to life" cannot be proven the building owner or contractor(s) should be encouraged to voluntarily comply with current code provisions when the chases are open and the work can be easily accomplished.

Further, the City Attorney indicated that he wanted to receive more definitive information about the interpretation of the need for fire stops from the State Building Inspector. Finally, the City Council indicated that they wanted a description of what was involved in adding a missing fire stop or replacing a fire stop and approximately what each would cost. Letter from State Building Inspector We have received a letter from Elroy Berdahl, Building Code Representative Supervisor, from the Department of Administration of the State of Minnesota. Mr. Berdahl notes that if alterations are being performed on a chimney chase which only affect the replacement siding, the existing chase is an "existing building element per UBC Section 104.(C)". This particular section states that the existing "...can remain unless continued use can be determined to be dangerous to life." If a "danger to life" cannot be found, and as long as the chase is open, Berdahl recommends that the City encourage the owner to install a fire stop for every floor/ceiling level. As you recall, permits to repair the faulty siding triggered the issue regarding the number of draft stops. The lack of a fire/draft stop will not prevent a fire from occurring; nor can it be considered a "danger to life". The fire hazard is the fireplace. The purpose of the fire/draft stop is to slow the progress of the fire up the chimney chase. Inquiries by Frederick Rochelle May 16, 1991 Page 2 Existing Chimneys Virgil Herrick, Darrel Clark, and I met on Monday, May 13, 1991. Mr. Herrick will be forwarding an opinion to the City Council under a separate memo. We estimate that there are 15 chimneys which have already installed one fire stop above the fireplace. According to Berdahl's letter, all of these are in compliance with the Uniform Building Code. In fact, Jean Lager at the April 22, 1991 meeting requested a letter verifying whether her chimney is in compliance. We can write such a letter given Berdahl's interpretation. We also know that there are five townhouse owners that may have one or no fire stops within the chimney chase. It is our opinion that the City should write a letter to these five homeowners informing them that if and when they do maintenance work on their chimney chases, we will encourage them to install the recommended number of fire stops, one for each floor/ceiling it passes. We do not have to require them to install the stops given Berdahl's letter. The fire/draft stop issue may be applicable not only to other chimneys chases within the Innsbruck subdivision but may pertain to single family home chimney chases. Industry practice has changed such that the fire/draft stop issue has only been actively addressed within the last five to six years. We believe the most cost-efficient means of advising homeowners of this issue is to write an article in the City Newsletter regarding what a fire/draft stop is and its purpose. Rochelle had suggested an inspection process in other townhomes; however, this would be costly since siding would have to be repaired or replaced, or our inspectors would have to climb down the interior of the chimney chase. Cost of Installation There are two ways to install draft stops: 1. To physically travel down the inside of the chimney chase and install the stop at each level. Typically, the chimney will be 2 1/2' x 4 ' wide and contain a one foot diameter tube. The contractor would travel down the chase outside of the tube. Darrel Clark received quotes from contractors that this option is the cheapest and would cost about $300.00. 2. To remove the exterior siding of the chimney and replace/add stops from the outside. Just replacing the existing materials (siding, etc.) would cost about $435.00. If draft stops are installed during the siding/chase repair, the draft stop would cost about $50.00 per stop. Inquiries by Frederick Rochelle May 16, 1991 Page 3 What costs the most money is replacing/ installing new siding, flashing, caulking, and painting. This can triple the cost anywhere between $1,200 - $1,500 depending on the amount of work to be done. A fire/draft stop can consist of a certain size particle board, plywood, or gypsum, with a metal collar around the chimney itself. New Construction If a building permit is received to construct a new living unit with a fireplace, it will be a requirement to have a fire/draft stop for every floor/ceiling level it passes. This is not to be confused with the repair or replacement of existing buildings. Mr. Rochelle's Unit Mr. Rochelle's contractor contacted Darrel Clark on the morning of April 8, 1991 and stated that in order to be absolutely sure, he would prefer to install the three draft stops. Clark had already contacted the State at that point and determined that three stops would be the safest interpretation. Summary and Recommendation To summarize, we believe that the City does not have any financial obligation to pay for the installation of fire/draft stops in the 15 townhouses that already have one, nor does the City have an obligation to pay for the five remaining homeowners which may not have any draft/fire stops. Further, the City does not carry any legal liability regarding the lack of draft stops in the existing chimneys (see Herrick's memo). However, we believe the City should notify the five remaining owners encouraging them to install the appropriate number of draft stops when they do their siding repair work. Finally, if agreed to by the City Council, staff will prepare the appropriate articles for the City Newsletter regarding this issue. BD/dn M-91-338 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 3, 1991 PAGE 10 Department nor the City's Inspection Department has indicated that this is a life threatening situation. Mr. Herrick stated that rather than demanding they correct a non- conforming use, the City is suggesting that they make this change when and if they undertake any improvements to the chimney. He stated that the letter advises them the condition exists and they may choose to correct it. He felt that it was advisable to have a signed document in the City's files that this letter was received. He stated that someone from the City's Inspection Department could deliver this letter and sign a certificate that they delivered the letter on a particular date. Councilman Billings stated that if the choice is to send a certified letter or hand deliver them, he would accept the responsibility to hand deliver them. Ms. Dacy stated that Darrel Clark or she could deliver these letters to the affected townhome owners. COUNCILMAN SCHNEIDER WITHDREW HIS MOTION, WITH THE PERMISSION OF HIS SECONDER, COUNCILWOMAN JORGENSON. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize notification of the five townhome residents of the number of fire/draft stops within their chimney chases, in a form similar to the draft letter submitted in the agenda, and allow staff to choose the method of notification providing a signed receipt is obtained for the City's files.

APPROVE LETTER TO INNSBRUCK TOWNHOME OWNERS REGARDING FIRE/DRAFT STOPS: MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize this letter to be sent to the five remaining Innsbruck townhome owners regarding the number of fire/draft stops within their chimney chases. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Councilwoman Jorgenson felt that the letter should probably be sent by certified mail so the City will know that it has been received. Councilman Billings stated that this may necessitate the owners going to the post office for the letter if they are not at home when it is delivered. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that the reason he would like the letter sent is to advise the homeowners that the condition exists and to recommend that they correct it. He stated that in reviewing material from the State and in talking with Darrel Clark, it appears that the City does not have the authority to demand the homeowners to install these draft stops unless it can be found it is life threatening. He stated that neither the State Inspection June 4, 1991 D R A F T L E T T E R According to our records and after a f ield verif ication, it has been determined that your townhome has an exterior chimney chase. As you probably know by now, there has been a lot of discussion and code research on how many fire stops are required in exterior chimney chases. In your townhome development there are five, six unit townhouses for a total of 30 units. Each of the five structures have four units with exterior chimney chases for a total of 20 units in all. Our records indicate that 15 of the 20 units have had siding replacement work done on them. During the repair it was determined that most had no fire stops and some had only one. During the repair of 14 of the 15 units, one fire stop was installed at the first floor that the chase passed by. The current interpretation for the number of fire stops for an exterior chase is that one stop must be installed for each floor/ceiling or ceiling that it passes by (this is for a new chase only). We have now adopted a policy that if and when exterior chimney chases are being repaired (opened up and restored) we will strongly recommend that a code complying fire stop be installed for each floor/ceiling that it passes by at the time your chimney is being worked on. These fire stops do not prevent fires, they will however slow the spread of a fire up the chimney chase if one occurs. Building permits are required for work done on chimney chases and your cooperation in this matter will be appreciated. If you or your contractor have any questions with reference to this matter, please feel free to call me at 571-3450. sincerely, DARREL G.

BUILDING CODES AND STANDARDS Post-li'"I brand fax transmittal memo 710 1#of pow r Frederick Rochelle 5435 West Brenner Pass N.E. Fridley, Minnesota 55432 Fie: Townhouse External Glass "A" Chimney Enclosures, Draft Stops/Firestop Dear Mr. Rochelle. Your request of me to respond va your question; "Are these townhouses withc-ut draft and/or firestops in the chimney chases unsafe?" is answered as follows: After our telephone conversation I reviewed UBC section 203 "Unsafe b+Jildings or Structures". The term "unsafe" is a condition of othpF, occurances. To declare a building without a draft and/or fl�'estop as "unsafe" under UBC 209 is a broad leap. I will answer 4n reverse, a building in which a fire or other occurance takes place and draft and/or firestops are not in place is less safe than ,a building having the stops in place. The purpose of draft ai;d/or firestop is to stop or slow fire and smoke spread within the structure once it occurs. The second issue is "Can it be assumed the chases not involving remodeling do noir 'have draft and/car firestops the same as the ones opened up for view." The answer is "yes". The city cannot issue corrections on assarned noncompliance. If and when t -e remaining chases are remodeled and opened up and Noncompliance is observable then the city must see that the observable deficiencies* 1f any, are corrected° I trust this final piece will put this controversy to rest. A course of action and corrections by the city is occuring in a proper sequence using due process. s r 1y, U DI Gl7 ES A ARDS is aMrd A.

David and Lorna Lynn bought a new townhouse in Asheville, N.C., in August 1985. After moving in, they discovered construction problems that caused the house to be condemned by the city. The Lynns had to demolish the structure at their own expense. The Lynns sued a number of par- ties, including the City of Asheville. They claimed that the city's building inspector, J.R. Smith, was negligent in issuing the building permit, in con- ducting inspections during construc- tion and in failing to inform them of building code violations. The North Carolina trial court dis- missed the owners' claim against the City. It was reversed on appeal, but backed by the North Carolina Su- preme Court. That court noted that building code inspections are for the protection of the public. It concluded that the "acts or omissions of City Building Inspector Smith did not cause the damages of which these plaintiffs complain, that is, their pur- chase of a house that was unfit for human habitation," said the court. The court also noted that the Lynns moved into the house before the building inspector made his final in- spection or issued the necessary certifi- cate of compliance. "This act was an intervening, independent cause of plaintiffs' damages," said the court. Lynn v. Overlook Development 403 S.E 2d 469 (Sup. Ct.

The court rejected Perini's ar- gument that the award was "manifestly unjust" in light of its $600,000 con- struction management fee. On July 21, 1983, Perini signed a CAI contract with Greate Bay Hotel and Casino Inc. for the renovation of its Sands Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City. The contract seta guaranteed maximum price of $16.8 million for expansion of the casino area and con- struction of a food court,, high -roller suites and a new entrance. Later ad- justments raised the construction cost to $24 million. The Sands management conceived the project as part of a shift in market - ng strategy for the hotel and casino.
