Mike Pretz, Poudre Fire Authority Fire Marshallwas present. He was
present to address the issue of fire potentia of wood roofing. Mr.
Pretz stated his concern was tp try to prevent fires and
regulating wood roofing was just one step in that direction. He
stated the issue needed to go through City Council and the Health
and Safety Committee. Mr. Pretz plans to meet with planners,
developers, homeowners associations and contractors to discuss any
problems with passing an ordinance to require non-combustible
roofing. Mr. Pretz stated some insurance companies are not insuring
shake shingle roofs, are offering to re -roof with a non-combustible
material and are offering a lesser premium to owners that have a
non-combustible roof.
Mr. Pretz stated the Poudre Fire Authority does not have the
resources to put out more than two large fires at the same time and
with the combination the high winds in Fort Collins with the number
of non -treated wood roofs, this is a growing problem.
Board member Johnson stated his concern that the people/homeowners
should decide this issue, it should not be mandated by legislation.
Mr. Pretz stated the County of Boulder has adopted legislation that
requires at least a Class C rating for roofs, the City of Boulder
is requiring class A rating and Larimer County is also looking at
adopting an ordinance.
Board member Cotterman suggested this be an issue to discuss at the
next adoption of thef94 codes. Mr. Pretz indicated he did not wish
to wait that long. Board chairman Sutton, recommended Mr. Pretz
talk to builders and take time to gradually implement this change.
Mr. Pretz was asked to keep the BRB abreast of what was happening
and to also include them in the process.
The day and time of the Building Review Board was discussed. it was
decided to change the time to 1:00pm on the last Thursday of each
month. Board member Cotterman made a motion to change the meeting
to 1:00pm, Board member Goldrich seconded the motion. The motion
passed.
Felix Lee reported on his presentation to the City Council for
adoption of the 91 codes and amendments and distributed a revised
proposed ammendment on H.V.A.C. duct sealing criteria.
The meeting was adjourned.
