NEW BUSINESS: Mr. Fischer reviewed the new Code Requirements proposed by Volusia County. On May 10, 1990 the County held a meeting for information on the windload requirement section of the Building Code. They indicated that now we need to put something in our local Ordinances in regard to what we are doing to minimize damage due to windload on single family and two family dwellings. The County has gotten information through Appendix D in the Building Code, which is the hurricane requirements, listing ways to minimize wind damage due to hurricane by certain strapping requirements. See attached copy.

A Tree Removal Permit must be obtained prior to land clearing on single family or duplex lots within the City. All permits must be posted on the site prior to any removal. Mr. Hayman discussed the subject of House Bill 1337 which deals with what happens when there is conflict between Life Safety Code and Building Code. He stated that there is supposed to be an Administrative Board that would help the Fire Department and the Building Department examine the differences and decide what is in the best interest of all concerned. He questioned who would be that Administrative Board in Edgewater that this Bill makes reference to. He felt that they needed to check into what the feasibility would be for having the Bylaws and the Charter of the Building Trades Regulatory and Appeals Board to include the comprehensive duties and responsibilities of this Administrative Board. He stated that they may need more help with it than just the Fire Official and Building Official, they may need the City Attorney to look at this. Mr. Fischer stated the Board needed to ask the question are they the Board that is named as the Administrative Board, if not, then who is? Chief Vola stated that it is required by State Statute. Whether or not that the Building Trades Regulatory and Appeals Board is the Board identified to assume this responsibility is another matter. It is necessary to look at the makeup of the Board required by Statute, to see if our Board fits the State Statutes, and also to decide if they want to become involved in this as a Board. He stated that he had no complaints to it. Mr. Hayman stated the Board presently does not have the expertise to hear complaints because we are not represented by a duly Certified Fire Inspector Official. Mr. Howard stated even if we had someone with the expertise from the Fire Department, the Bylaws of this Board do not allow us the jurisdiction or the leeway to sit on a case of dispute between the Fire Chief and the Building Official. Mr. Howard moved to authorize Chairman Hayman City Manager for the purpose of determining who between the Fire Codes and the Building Codes Edgewater. Mr. Cole seconded. Passed 7-0. to meet with the settles disputes in the City of Mr. Butt moved that the meeting be adjourned. Mr. Cole seconded. Meeting adjourned 8:40 P.M. Minutes respectfully submitted by Lisa R.

This will require using fasteners that are rated to sustain the loads stipulated on your truss design for the trusses and as shown on the attached chart for the other connections. It will be necessary that you indicate by brand name, design number of loading (or uplift) capacity on your plans what connectors, or methods of connections, will be used from the footing up to the truss (or roof framing).
