• (Public Hearing)
Summary: Attached Ordinance No. 04-14, Series of 2004 adopts the 2003
International Building Code, 2003 International Residential Code for One and Two Family
Dwellings, 2002 Edition of the National Electrical Code, 2003 International Mechanical Code
and the 2003 International Fire Code. These codes published by the International Code
Council will replace previously adopted codes published by the International Conference of
Building Officials. These codes are considered as new national standard codes and have been
adopted by Eagle County and other towns in the area. We held a public meeting with special
notice going to the building design and construction professionals in the area and only positive
feedback was received with respect to the proposed codes.
The modifications to the referenced codes generally follow modifications to the previously
adopted codes. Deviations from the previously adopted code modifications include:
Building, Residential, Electrical and Mechanical Codes
1. The Permit Fee structure has been modified to correspond with the new Codes and to
basically match the Eagle County Fee Structure.
a. A Resolution establishing the actual permit fees is included for consideration and
approval as separate agenda item.

CADocuments And SettingsNwoodWy Documents\TempUdg. Codes\Memo-3.Doc
2. The minimum insurance requirements for a contractors license will be increased from
$150,000 per person, $600,000 per accident and $50,000 property damage.to $1,000,000
per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate.
3. Provisions related to Certificate of Occupancy have been modified to clarify duplicate
and conflicting provisions in the current code.
4. Previous fire related amendments to the Building Code have been deleted from the
modifications. These provisions will be dealt with through the Fire Code.
5. Provisions related to elevator permits and inspections have been modified to clarify
provisions for the administration of elevator permits and inspections by NWCCOG.
6. Modifications to the National Electrical Code clarify the electrical permits and
inspections will be administered and performed through the office of the Colorado State
Electrical Inspector.
7. Modifications have been made to clarify the commencement of construction
(approval of final footing inspection) for the purpose of.establishing an active building
permit.
8. Modifications are included to clarify decisions and actions of the Building Official that
may be appealed to the Town Council when acting as the Building Board of Appeals.
The 2003 International Fire Code
9. Provisions are included in the Fire Code adoption to clarify that the Eagle River Fire
Protection District will be responsible for permit administration, plan review and
inspections of fire alarm and sprinkler systems.
10. The Fire Code is modified to designate the Building Official as the Fire Code Official
responsible for the issuance of operational permits for fire alarm and sprinkler systems.
11. The Fire Code is modified to designate the Eagle River Fire Protection District Board
of Directors plus a representative from the Town, as appointed by the Town Council, as
the Board of Appeals related to Fire Code issues. The Fire Code Official (Building
Official) is an ex-officio member of the Board.
Implementation of the 2003 International Fire Code will require an Intergovernmental
Agreement between the Town of Avon and the Eagle River Fire Protection District. A
Resolution approving this Agreement is included for consideration and approval as a separate
agenda item.
Applicants will have the option of complying with current codes or the new codes from the
effective date of this Ordinance through December 31, 2004. Beginning January 1, 2005 all
permits will be issued under the new codes. We believe this provides adequate time for
projects that may be under design based on the current codes. We recommend approval of
Ordinance No. 04-14 on Second Reading.
