ICABARRUS COUN1q <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> <br />Memorandum <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Mike Downs ct~or~ <br />Public Safety Dire <br /> <br />CC: John Day <br /> Interim County Manager <br /> <br />Date: February 7, 2003 <br /> <br />Subject: <br /> <br />2000 International Residential Code - Appendix G (2002 Edition) <br /> <br />At your request our office has reviewed Appendix G of the 2000 International Residential <br />Code and found that it would be to the best interests of the citizens of Cabarms County to <br />include this Appendix in the County's Code of Ordinances. A copy of the appendix has <br />been attached for your review. As you will note, the appendix is concerned with the <br />design and construction of swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs. In addition, it addresses <br />the requirement to enclose or provide a barrier for such structures. This will require that <br />all swimming pools, spas, and hot tubs not enclosed within a structure need to be <br />completely enclosed with a barrier (fence). The fencing requirement will provide <br />additional authority to the existing requirements of the Cabarms County Zoning <br />Ordinance. <br /> <br />Our Inspections Division has investigated the possibility of enforcing the additional <br />standards and found that it would not require any additional man-hours and therefore <br />recommends to the Board of Commissioners that they consider adopting the code locally. <br />To do this the Board will need to amend Chapter 14 Buildings and Building Regulations <br />to include a reference to Appendix G of the 2000 International Residential Code (2002 <br />Edition). This can be prepared and presented at the March meeting for the Board's <br />adoption. <br /> <br />Budding Inspecbon <br /> <br /> Office of Public Safety Services <br /> PO Box 707 · Concord, NC 28026-0707 ° wwwcocabarrus nc us <br />704-920-2128 · Emergency Mgt/F~re Marshal 704-920-2143 ° Emergency Medical 704-920-2600 <br /> <br /> <br />
