Honorable Lee Fellinger, Mayor
And Members of the City Council
Of The City of Ames , Iowa
In Re : An Ordinance Creating and Establishing Fire Zones
Under the Provisions of the Uniform Building Code
Adopted as the Lo al Building Code for the City of
Ames
Dear Mayor Fellinger and Council Members :
A part of the 1976 Uniform Building Code which was recently
made applicable to the City of Ames by an ordinance adopting
the State Building Code sets out regulations pertaining to
three "fire zones" . It is up to the local jurisdiction,
however, to establish what parts of the city are to be in
which of the fire zones . The effect of this designation
is to, among other things , prohibit the use of certain types
of building materials in one zone that might be allowed in
another.
This is not a new approach in the City of Ames, and was in
fact done under the provisions of the 1964 Uniform Building
Code.
The allocation of areas to the respective fire zones has in
the past been done by means of reference to zoning designa-
tions . The inspection and planning department has recommended
that this practice be continued, at least for now, using the
present zoning designations until such time as new zoning
regulations are enacted.
Combining Education and Industry with Hospitality
-2-
I therefore request the City Council proceed immediately
to the enactment of the attached ordinance.
Also enclosed herewith are photocopies of the pages from
the 1976 Uniform Building Code pertaining to fire zones.
These pages may give the City Council some insight into
what this ordinance pertains to.
Respectfully submitted,
John R. Klaus
City Attorney
