4. Lorin Walker, d/b/a The Eagle Group, Case #17-06
The appellant was seeking a waiver of the requirement that he must take a class and/or complete
a refresher exam covering the 2003 IRC in order for him to renew his license and supervisor
certificate as required by the City's licensing ordinance.
According to the appellant, this requirement should not pertain to him since his company does
not perform residential work. A check of City records confirmed that his company has not, to
date, requested any residential permits. The appellant stated that he would be willing to have his
license restricted to commercial work only if this would eliminate the need for him to take the
class or complete the exam.
McCoy made a motion to approve appellant's request for a waiver of the requirement that he
take a class and/or refresher exam covering the 2003 IRC and restricted appellant's license to
commercial construction only. Carr seconded the motion.

well as the requirement that he must submit project verification forms in order for him to
reinstate his HVAC license and supervisor certificate.
The appellant obtained HVAC licensing with the City in 1968 which he kept current until he
retired in 1997. As well, the appellant stated that he held a mechanical license with the City of
Loveland which he kept current through February, 2004. He now would like the opportunity to
reinstate his license so that he can assist his friends and elderly customers with their HVAC
needs.
There was some discussion about classes or any additional training that the appellant may have
taken that covered the 2003 IMC. The appellant stated that he had not obtained any such
training.
McCoy made a motion to approve appellant's request for a waiver of the exam and submittal of
project verification forms and permitted reinstatement of his HVAC license and supervisor
certificate. Smilie seconded the motion. The motion was amended to restrict the HVAC license
by prohibiting any commercial or new residential installation work.
