CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 206 OF THE FRIDLEY
CITY CODE PERTAINING TO THE BUILDING CODE AND PERMIT FEES:
The Public Works Director stated that apparently what had happened was that when
Chapter 206 was adopted we made reference to the fact that it was the Minnesota
Building Code by reference, and we assumed that all the appendices and indexes
and everything was included, but that in working with the Code since 1972 there
is a section that indicates that there are certain exceptions noted to the
building code that are optional to the various municipalities.
It appears that if a municipality wants to adopt those sections they have to
explicitly state them, and that is why you see the new language. There are several
items listed here. These are basically what the inspectors follow. They refer to
the Uniform Building Code.
The problem is that if we were challenged someone might indicate that it is not a
part of the ordinance since it was not specifically adopted. That is what we are
''ry,ing tC �tY' ly "tCn ouit in tt.;..- first --cotion.
The Public Works Director continued that in Section 206.010 we get involved in the
building permit fees. At the present time it is on a cubic foot volume. Ninty-five
per cent of the other communities in the metropolitan area follow the Uniform
Building Code in issuing building permits and fees, and it is based on valuation,
i.e., how much is it worth to construct the building?
The Public Works Director said that the residential building permits are very, veru
low, and they do not cover the expenses that our building inspectors have. in making
the inspections. By adopting the Uniform Building Code we place it on valuation
and hopefully it appears that it will work out. The fee is arrived at by an averaging
process.
Thereupon much discussion ensued over the number of trips a building inspector
makes, the proper fiscal relation between commercial -industrial compared to
residential as to the fees. Councilman Fitzpatrick said that this involves a
shift from volume to values as the basis for rates.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to table the ordinance and bring it back to the
Council at the administration's discretion. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion tabled by a unanimous
vote.
