Mr. Heck asked for the approval of the June 14, 2011 minutes. James Drake made a motion to approve the minutes. Motion seconded by Don Heck. Motion carried. New Business: Case No.: Address: Petitioner: BBA-001-2012 323 N. Walnut St. Stuart Frankel Don Heck introduced Petitioner Stuart Frankel who was accompanied by Linda Alvarado. The Issue of Appeal is that the petitioner re-roofed carports on the property and failed to install the required two layers of underlayment as required by the code for low slope roofs. There was a permit pulled and when Doug Halstead, Building Inspector, was called out for a final inspection he found out that there was only one layer of underlayment. He checked the slope and he found that it was 2 in 12 which is less than 4 in 12 and therefore requires two layers. He issued a correction notice and the petitioner is requesting relief from sections 1507.2.2 and 1507.2.8 of the Michigan Building Code 2009. Mr. Stuart stated that they have owned Ferris Park Towers since it was constructed in the late 60's and in the early 80's they built the carport which has about 25 carport spots in it. He said that over-the course of over 30 years they found it necessary to replace the shingles. He stated that they did not make any changes to the structure. They replaced the old layer with one new layer of laminate and all new shingles are on. He said it is just a carport and they are asking the Building Board not to require them to remove all of the shingles to put a second layer of laminate on. There was some discussion which clarified that by "laminate" Mr. Frankel meant felt underlayment. That the carport is an independent structure, un-inhabited, with fascia on 3-sides, slopes to the west and is about 40 ft.to the west of the building. Jim Bennett, Chief Plan Review Analyst, stated that it is a technical violation of the Code which doesn't differentiate between if it is a carport, occupied building or anything else. As a practical matter he thinks it may do more damage by making them take the roof off to put the second layer on. Brad Drury, Fire Marshall's only concern was the decking and because it is structurally sound he had no other issues. James Drake made a motion that they accept his petition as is and allows -the single layer of underlayment, because it is a carport, not habitable space. Seconded by Barry Wood the motion carried unanimously. Other Business: 1. Revision to the Building Board of Appeals Policy (see attached) regarding pitched roofs over flat roof requested by the Building Safety Office and the Fire Marshal. Jim Bennett explained why they were requesting a revision. After some discussion, Barry Wood made a motion to accept the revisions to the Policy with one edit which would strike the word "flat". Seconded by James Drake, motion carried unanimously. 2. Don Heck brought up that with the exception of Barry Wood, all board member terms expire June 30, 2012. He asked James Drake if he wants to be re-appointed and James said yes. Don also wants to be reappointed. He asked Jim Bennett if he could get a letter out to Randall Kamm, Chairman, to ask him if he wants to be re-appointed. Mr. Bennett indicated he would send the letter within the next few days. Public Comment: None At 2:40 p.m. James Drake moved to adjourn. Motion seconded by Barry Wood. Motion carried.

New Business: Cas_ Address: Petitioner: BBA-001-2012 323 N. Walnut St. Stuart Frankel Don Heck introduced Petitioner Stuart Frankel who was accompanied by Linda Alvarado. The Issue of Appeal is that the petitioner re-roofed carports on the property and failed to install the required two layers of underlayment as required by the code for low slope roofs. There was a permit pulled and when Doug Halstead, Building Inspector, was called out for a final inspection he found out that there was only one layer of underlayment. He checked the slope and he found that it was 2 in 12 which is less than 4 in 12 and therefore requires two layers. He issued a correction notice and the petitioner is requesting relief from sections 1507.2.2 and 1507.2.8 of the Michigan Building Code 2009. OTHER BUSINESS: The Building Safety Office and the Fire Marshal request the following policy revision. Policy adopted 3/13/2007 by the Building Board of Appeals.

In combustible construction, whenever a building permit is issued to install a pitched roof(either conventionally framed or manufactured trusses) over an existing flat roof, the existing roof covering and roof deck shall be required to be removed so as not to create a concealed space that cannot be vented during Fire Department operations.

If the design professional in responsible charge determines that the complete removal of the roof deck will compromise the structural stability of the building, then not less than 60% of the roof covering and deck shall be removed. The removal shall be such that 60% of the old roof above each room within the building is removed. The design professional shall submit a drawing(s) detailing how this will be accomplished.
