Building Codes Appeals Board <br /> Minutes of July 27, 2011 <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br /> Bryan Moore identified himself as a local builder and stated that buildings built under the <br /> International Plumbing Code have not had problems. He asked that the Board recommend <br /> returning to the International Plumbing Code. <br /> Phillip Hoot addressed two items. He felt that since the city requires an engineer to approve <br /> new roofs, the City shouldn't require a permit fee for the roof permit. Also, the fact that a <br /> meeting was even necessary confirms the City should go back to the previous code. <br /> Alfred Ortega identified himself as a City of Houston Inspector and a director of <br /> IAMPO. He recommended the City amend the table to fit their needs. The City of Houston <br /> deleted Table 4 -1 from the Uniform Code and utilizes the plumbing chapter table in the <br /> International Building Code as part of their amendments. <br /> 3. REVIEW AND DISCUSS TWO REQUESTS FOR CHANGES TO THE CITY'S <br /> PLUMBING CODE AS IT PERTAINS TO MINIMUM PLUMBING CODE <br /> FIXTURE REQUIREMENTS <br /> Debbie Wilmore provided an overview explaining that the building code is used to establish <br /> the building use and occupancy load. That information is then applied to the plumbing <br /> table for determining the minimum number of plumbing fixtures. <br /> Staff provided the IAPMO Group with the project information and staff's calculations of <br /> required fixtures. A written code interpretation received today determined the buildings <br /> should be considered as retail use rather than storage/business office. Since that information <br /> was just received, copies for each member were placed at their seats. Discussion followed. <br /> 4. CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL TO SUPPORT ONE OF <br /> THE FOLLOWING COURSES OF ACTION: (1) CONTINUE TO UTILIZE THE <br /> 2009 UNIFORM PLUMBING CODETABLE 4 -1, MINIMUM PLUMBING <br /> FACILITIES, AS WRITTEN; (2) AMEND THE UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE <br /> TABLE 4 -1; (3) BEGIN UTILIZING CHAPTER 29 (PLUMBING SYSTEMS) OF THE <br /> 2009 INTERNATIONAL BUILDING CODE IN LIEU OF THE 2009 UNIFORM <br /> PLUMBING CODE TABLE 4 -1; OR (4) OTHER ACTION <br /> Motion by Mark Follis to utilize Chapter 29 of the 2009 International Building Code in lieu <br /> of the 2009 Uniform Plumbing Code Table 4 -1. Second by Mr. Bunch. Motion passed with <br /> one nay vote by Mr. Larson. <br /> In the interim time, the Board felt the proposed storage occupancy use was an "unlisted use" <br /> and directed staff to utilize the code allowance that enables the Authority Having Jurisdiction <br /> to determine required minimum plumbing fixtures for those unlisted uses. <br />
