In that Code it allows for an appeal from a decision made by the building inspector. By amending Sec. 111.1 and Sec. 111.2 of the Southern Standard Building Code with Ordinance No. 207, this causes the five members of Council to be the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Attorney Stalnaker read Ordinance No. 207 (emergency ordinance) in its entirety. Motion was made by Councilman Torcaso to adopt Ordinance No. 207. Seconded by Councilman Arnold for discussion. In discussion Councilman Arnold suggested the fee be raised considerably in order for Council to get advise from technical people (architects, engineers, electricians,etc.) to handle these appeals. Vote on the motion: Councilman Jacobs, aye; Councilman Arnold, aye; Councilman Bennett, no; Councilman Boyd, aye; Councilman Torcaso, aye; motion carried. . The appeal of Mr. Ray Savarese of J.S.I. Builders, was discussed. Mr. Savarese explained that items could not be taken out of context in the Southern Standard Building Code. Mr. Savarese said that he has built a balcony with a 36 inch rail. The Building Inspector maintains the rail should be 42 inches. Mr. Savarese contends it is not an exit nor means of egress therefore he does not have to comply with the 42 inch provision. Motion was made by Councilman Jacobs that we table this appeal from Mr. Savarese until we get an opinion from our Attorney and the Southern Standard Building Code Congress.
