Checklist of Up -to -Dale Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement.)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements
on a page -for -page substitution basis, it has become evident
that through usage and supplementation many pages can be
inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready
guide for the user to determine whether the Code volume
properly reflects the latest printing of each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence.
The second column reflects the latest printing of the pages
as they should appear in an up-to-date volume. The letters
"OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted in the
Supplement Service and appear as published for the original
Code. When a page has been reprinted or printed in the
Supplement Service, this column reflects the identification
number or Supplement Number printed on the bottom of the
page.
In addition to assisting existing holders of the Code, this
list may be used in compiling an up-to-date copy from the
original Code and subsequent Supplements.

Section 303, Permits issuance, subsection (d) is amended

Where work for which a permit is required by this code
is started or proceeded with prior to obtaining said permit,

Exception:
1. Risers and laterals of dry standpipe systems not
located within an enclosed stairway need not be
protected by a degree of fire resistance equal to
that required for vertical enclosures in the
covered mail building.
2. In buildings where more than one standpipe is
provided, they need not be interconnected.
3. Piping may be hydraulically sized.
(c) Smoke control requirements.
(1) Purpose. The purpose of smoke control is to restrict

activated by operation of either the sprinkler
system, smoke detectors, or manually subject to
approval of the building official. Smoke detectors
shall be provided within the return air portion of an

openings between tenant spaces and the mall.
Actuation of either a smoke detector or the sprinkler
system shall cause the air supply to the air

down. During those hours when the air conditioning
system is not operating, smoke detector or sprinkler
actuation will transmit an alarm only as required in
subsection (a), item 1 of this section.
(3) Mall venting. The mall shall have smoke removal
capability installed in or near the roof. Such facility
may be either natural or mechanical.
(4) Acceptance and testing. Before the smoke control
system is accepted by the building official, it shall

waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life to
constitute a public nuisance, the superintendent may:
(a) Revoke or cancel the permit,
(b) Require pretreatment to an acceptable condition for
discharge to the public sewers,
(c) Require control over the quantities and rates of
discharge, and/or
(d) Require payment to cover the added cost of handling

If the superintendent permits the pretreatment or equali-
zation of waste flows, the design and installation of the
plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and
approval of the superintendent and subject to the require-
ments of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. (Ord.

Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when,
in the opinion of the superintendent, they are necessary for
the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in
excessive amounts or any flammable wastes, sand or other
harmful ingredients; except that such interceptors shall not
be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All
interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the

§ 33-76.5 IOWA CITY CODE
Sec. 33-76.5. Control manhole.
When required by the superintendent, the owner of any
property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial
wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with
such necessary meters and other appurtenances in the
building sewer to facilitate observation, sampling, and
measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required,
shall be accessibly and safely located, and shall be
constructed in accordance with plans approved by the
superintendent. The manhole shall be installed by the owner
at his expense and shall be maintained by him so as to be
safe and accessible at all times. (Ord. No. 80-3008, Art. IV, §
7,9-23-80)
Sec. 33-76.6. Testing, analyses and measurements
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteris-
tics of waters and wastes to which reference is made in this
division shall be determined in accordance with the latest
edition of "Standard Methods for Examination of Water and
Wastewater," published by the American Public Health
Association, and shall be determined at the control
manholes provided, or upon suitable samples taken at said
control manholes. In the event that no special manhole has
been required, the control manhole shall be considered to be
the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the
point at which the building sewer is connected.
Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted
methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the waste
water facilities and to determine the existence of hazards to
life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved
will determine whether a twenty -four-hour composite of all
outfalls of a premise is appropriate or whether a grab
sample or samples should be taken. Normally, but not
always, biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids
analysis are obtained from twenty -four-hour composites of
all outfalls whereas pH's are determined from periodic grab
samples. (Ord. No. 80-3008, Art. IV, § 8, 9-23-80)

Re: Fred B. and Karen Allen property
Dear Mr. Meardon:
ARIA CODE 319
337.9606
This letter is to advise you of the position of the
City of Iowa City with respect to the Fred B. and Karen
Allen property located north of Interstate 80 and east of
Prairie du Chien Road in Johnson County, Iowa. This prop-
erty is described in the attached warranty deed from Samuel
Hershberger to the Allens.
The City Council of Iowa City has authorized me to
advise you that the City has no plans to attack the issuance
of building permits for this property either now or in the
future nor does it intend to attack the legal description
used to describe the same.
The City is concerned about the fact that a subdivision
of land did take place in violation apparently of the pro-
visions of Chapter 409 of the Code of Iowa and also perhaps
in violation of the provisions of the Johnson County Zoning
ordinance. The assurances given in this letter should not
be considered as approval by the City of such conveyances
and subdivision of land nor should it be considered as any
type of precedent in connection with future situations of
this sort. Indeed, the City will in all probability take an
active role in trying to make sure that all.applicable
regulations and laws have been complied with in connection
with subdivisions of land both within and without the City
over which the City has control.
However, with reference to the particular property
described above, the City Council does not intend any action
with respect thereto. 6�'.
Very truly yours, u

This litter is to advise ou of the position of the
City of Iowa\City with respect to the informal subdivision
of land knowns the Sam Hershberger Subdivision located
north of Interstate 80 and/east of Prairie du Chien Road
in Johnson Countyk Iowa.lfhe City Council of Iowa City
has authorized me to advi/se you that the City has no plans
to attack this inf

bdivision by seeking to cause
by otherwise acting to invalidate
or previous building on that land.
The City is concern d about the fact that a subdivision
of land did take place in.violation apparently of the pro-
visions of Chapter 409 of `je Code of Iowa and also perhaps
in violation of -the provisi s of the Johnson County zoning
ordinance. Thevassurances g'ven in this letter should not
be considered as approval by he City of such conveyances
and subdivision of land nor sh uld it be considered as any.
type of precedent in connectio \with future situations of
this sort. /Indeed, the City wz•,l in all probability take
an active role in trying to maksure that all applicable
regulatiopis and laws have been c plied with in connection
with subdivisions of land both.wi in and without the City
over which the City has control.
However, with reference to the ershberger Subdivision
situation itself, due to the number transactions that
have/occurred, the dates of those tra��actions, and the
substantial reliance by property owne s and purchasers on
their titles and further due to the f that one of the
principal concerns of the City, i.e. a c ss from Prairie
au Chien Road to the land to the east c u d not be handled
without expensive condemnation or acqui i 'on proceedings,
the City Council does not intend any act}o with respect to
the Hershberger Subdivision. \
