He said the document also <br />included the 2015 International Swimming Pool Code adopted by <br />Washington State. He noted the Kittitas County Central Washington <br />Home Builders had been notified of the proposed changes as well. <br /> <br />CHAIRMAN O’BRIEN noted concerns with the proposed change from the <br />Building Official being able to grant “one” to “an” extension for <br />revisions to applications. COMMISSIONER JEWELL said the extension <br />was strictly for applications of design review and the extension <br />should not exceed 365 days, which should allow plenty of time to <br />make changes. MR. FLORY explained how the new tables were <br />reformatted from the revisions by the ICC and to include wind <br />elements. <br /> <br />THOSE PRESENT & TESTIFYING: PAT DENEEN felt the timing of the <br />changes were not good especially for Master Plans because it’s in <br />the middle of the building season. He asked the Board for an <br />extension for implementation of the changes for approximately 90 <br />days. THERE BEING NO OTHERS REQUESTING TO TESTIFY, THE PUBLIC <br />PORTION OF THE HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br /> <br />The Board questioned if they could adopt the changes by July 1st but <br />not have it take effect until October 1st. MR. FLORY said they have <br />been speaking with the Homebuilders Association and advising them it <br />would take effect July 1st and they’ve been updating the Code every 3
