CounLyCode— Bui|dingandConstnucbon. Staff: Barbara Adkins. Ms. Adkins went over the
proposed change Lo each section.
Cmmr. Jeffreys asked about out of state engineers.
Rich Balderston said they have to be Washington State licensed. Every state is different and this
state has high seismic zones.
Public Comment:
Larry Bolts asked if the Ordinance could say 864 square feet "or less". He also said Agriculture
buildings do not have the same seismic requirements. He said approving this would help in many
ways.
Debbra Coker spoke in favor of this proposed ordinance. She said she is in favor of exempt status
for AG buildings. She said AG buildings provide shelter for animals and could be used for storage
although she said the ordinance exceeds the code limits.
C / nnr. Nenther|in said it states you don't need a permit up to 16 feet, it would be exempt from
permit.
Debbno Coker asked the Board to take a better look at these changes and consider adding
enforcement language.
Cmmr. Neather/in said they still comply with the international building codes. It does not give
permission for people to do things but yet certain things are exempt from permits.
Conley Watson said he has never heard of anyone reducing the code.

Barbara said she believes she is only removing needs for permits. She doesn't see it as diminishing
the code. There are still responsibilities to meet codes.
Rich Balderston said sometimes building things "to code" is hard if you are not familiar with how to
read codes. He said they will be accepting affidavits from people who don't know how to read code.
Cmmr. Sheldon said this should be broken to two separate areas,
Cmmr. Neatherlin said he likes the change in the wording and it doesn't change requirements and
specified things still must be within code.
Cmmr. Jeffreys says it can be taken two different ways. She said she doesn't think we need to add
compliance wording to this.
Barbara said "compliance" is in a different section of the code.
Cmmr. Sheldon/Jeffreys moved to divide the question between agriculture and
residential.
Cmmr. Sheldon withdrew his motion.
