changes in the residential energy requirements include more requirements for performance
testing for leakage. Residential Duct systems must be tested unless all ducts and equipment
are located within the conditioned space. Envelope testing is required to demonstrate
compliance with maximum allowable leakage rate unless a detailed air barrier and insulation
inspection has been performed to field verify component criteria. Testing is available from
RESNET - certified HERS Raters or Rating Field Inspectors, and certified Performance
Verification Technicians.

(1524 mm) in length unless such line is serving sinks or urinals.
(Reason: To eliminate the requirement for excessive cleanouts.)
** *Section P3112.2; delete and replace with the following:
P3112.2 Installation. Traps for island sinks and similar equipment shall be
roughed in above the floor and may be vented by extending the vent as high as
possible, but not less than the drainboard height and then returning it downward
and connecting it to the horizontal sink drain immediately downstream from the
vertical fixture drain. The return vent shall be connected to the horizontal drain
through a wve-branch fitting and shall, in addition, be provided with a foot vent
taken off the vertical fixture vent by means of a wye- branch immediately below the
floor and extending to the nearest partition and then through the roof to the open
21
air or may be connected to other vents at a point not Tess than six (6) inches (152
mm) above the flood level rim of the fixtures served. Drainage fittings shall be
used on all parts of the vent below the floor level and a minimum slope of one -
quarter (1/4) inch per foot (20.9 mm /m) back to the drain shall be maintained. The
return bend used under the drainboard shall be a one (1) piece fitting or an
assembly of a forty -five (45) degree (0.79 radius), a ninety (90) degree (1.6 radius)
and a forty -five (45) degree (0.79 radius) elbow in the order named. Pipe sizing
shall be as elsewhere required in this Code. The island sink drain, upstream of the
return vent, shall serve no other fixtures. An accessible cleanout shall be installed
in the vertical portion of the foot vent.

a standard installation method for this region.)
* * *P3114.3; Amend as follows:
P3114.3 Where permitted. Individual vents, branch vents, circuit vents and stack vents
serving kitchen island vents or bar sinks shall be permitted to terminate with a connection
to an air admittance valve. All other installations shall require prior approval of the
Building Official. Individual and branch type air admittance valves shall vent only fixtures
that are on the same floor level and connect to a horizontal branch drain.
(Reason: Language with current policy to allow AAV's with advance approval.)
* *Chapters 34 through 43; delete. Replace with the electrical code as adopted.
(Reason: State law permits only the NEC.)
Note: Chapters 34 through 43 are based on the 2008 National Electrical Code and are
included here for reference only. The Electrical Code as adopted by separate ordinance
takes precedence over these sections.
* *Appendix G; Change section AG105 as follows:
AG105.2 Outdoor swimming pool. An outdoor swimming pool, including an
in- ground, aboveground or on- ground pool, hot tub or spa shall be provided
with a barrier which shall comply with the following:
1. The top of the barrier shall be at least 48 inches (1219 mm) above grade
measured on the side of the barrier which faces away from the swimming pool.
The maximum vertical clearance between grade and the bottom of the barrier
shall be 2 inches (51 mm) measured on the side of the barrier which faces
away from the swimming pool. Where the top of the pool structure is above
grade, such as an aboveground pool, the barrier may be at ground level, such
as the pool structure, or mounted on top of the pool structure. Where the barrier
is mounted on top of the pool structure, the maximum vertical clearance
between the top of the pool structure and the bottom of the barrier shall be 4
inches (102 mm).
Pre - existing fences. The installation of a swimming pool creates the
requirement for the barrier fence. Therefore a previously existing fence would
22
not have any status under this section because the addition of the pool creates
the hazard on which the code section is based. The one exception to this
general rule is when the fence on one side of the new pool is already a pool
enclosure for the adjacent property. That fence segment which is common to
another yard with a pool is a legal nonconforming pool enclosure and need not
be upgraded. Any other existing fence that is just now becoming a pool
enclosure shall comply with this section.
2. Openings in the barrier shall not allow passage of a 4- inch - diameter (102 mm)
sphere.
3. Solid barriers which do not have openings, such as a masonry or stone wall,
shall not contain indentations or protrusions except for normal construction
tolerances and tooled masonry joints.
4. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the
distance between the tops of the horizontal members is less than 45 inches (1143
mm), the horizontal members shall be located on the swimming pool side of the
fence. Spacing between vertical members shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) in
width. Where there are decorative cutouts within vertical members, spacing within
the cutouts shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) in width.
5. Where the barrier is composed of horizontal and vertical members and the
distance between the tops of the horizontal members is 45 inches (1143 mm) or
more, spacing between vertical members shall not exceed 4 inches(102 mm).
Where there are decorative cutouts within vertical members, spacing within the
cutouts shall not exceed 1.75 inches (44 mm) in width.
EXCEPTION: When horizontal members are part of a fence that is at least 6 feet
(1830 mm) in height, the horizontal members need not be on the pool side of the
barrier and the 45 inch distance between horizontal members does not apply.
6. Maximum mesh size for chain link fences shall be a 2.25 -inch (57 mm) square
unless the fence is provided with slats fastened at the top or the bottom which
reduce the openings to not more than 1.75 inches (44 mm).
7. Where the barrier is composed of diagonal members, such as a lattice fence,
the maximum opening formed by the diagonal members shall not be more than
1.75 inches(44 mm).
8. Access gates shall comply with the requirements of Section AG105.2, Items 1
through 7, and shall be equipped to accommodate a locking device. Pedestrian
access gates shall open outward away from the pool and shall be self - closing and
have a self - latching device. Gates other than pedestrian access shall have a self
latshing-eleviGe-be equipped with lockable hardware or padlocks and shall remain
locked at all times when not in use.
Where the release mechanism of the self - latching device is located less than 54
inches (1372 mm) from the bottom of the gate, the release mechanism and
openings shall comply with the following:
8.1. The release mechanism shall be located on the pool side of the gate at
23
least 3 inches (76 mm) below the top of the gate, and
8.2. The gate and barrier shall have no opening greater than 0.5 inch (12.7
mm) within 18 inches (457 mm) of the release mechanism.
Vehicle gates designed or intended to be used on a regular basis may be
automatic closing rather than maintained locked. Automatic gates may be opened
by a key or switch (fixed or remote) but the pate shall automatically close within
one to two minutes without requiring any additional action on the part of the person
who opened it.
9. Where a wall of a dwelling serves as part of the barrier one of the following
conditions shall be met:
9.1. The pool shall be equipped with a powered safety cover in compliance with
ASTM F1346; or
9.2. All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall shall be equipped
with an alarm which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen,
if present, are opened. The alarm shall sound continuously for a minimum of 30
seconds immediately after the door is opened and be capable of being heard
throughout the house during normal household activities. The alarm shall
automatically reset under all conditions. The alarm system shall be equipped
with a manual means, such as touchpad or switch, to temporarily deactivate the
alarm for a single opening. Such deactivation shall last for not more than 15
seconds. The deactivation switch(es) shall be located at least 54 inches (1372
mm) above the threshold of the door; or
9.3. Other means of protection, such as self - closing doors with self - latching
devices, which are approved by the governing body, shall be acceptable so
long as the degree of protection afforded is not less than the protection afforded
by Item 9.1 or 9.2 described above
10. Where an aboveground pool structure is used as a barrier or where the barrier
is mounted on top of the pool structure, and the means of access is a ladder or
steps, then:
10.1. The ladder or steps shall be capable of being secured, locked or removed
to prevent access, or
10.2. The ladder or steps shall be surrounded by a barrier which meets the
requirements of Section AG105.2, Items 1 through 9. When the ladder or steps
are secured, locked or removed, any opening created shall not allow the
passage of a 4- inch - diameter (102 mm) sphere.
(Reason: To allow for special conditions while retaining essentially the same degree of safety.)
