Page 8 1, Item No. 14 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SIZE REQUIREMENTS FOR SERVICE PIPE BY PROVIDING FOR AN EXCEPTION. (first consideration) Comment: The current ordinance provides that service lines into homes shall be 1" in size for residential water service. Prior to the 1" requirement, a 3/4" line was required. When replacing 3/4" lines the City has routinely allowed a 3/4" line to replace a 3/4" line. This was done so that a new tap would not need to be made to the water line in the street. In most cases the water main in the street is very old and a new tap close to the old tap would be detrimental to the pipe strength. This amendment provides for an exception to the 1 requirement by allowing the use of 3/4" pipe when replacing lines of that size. This nrdinance has been considered and approved by the Plumbing Board. Public Works recommends adoption and all three readings at this meeting to clear the paper work through as quickly as possible. Action: R' L 11/0, � _..n._ - nA A I . Item No. 15 - Comment: Action: Item No. 16 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3302(d) OF THE UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, 1976 EDITION, AS ADOPTED BY CHAPTER 8 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF IOWA CITY. (second consideration) The purpose of this ordinance is to amend the provisions for distance to exits in open parking garages. The 1979 Uniform Building Code allows longer exit distances than the 1976 Uniform Building Code. By adopting this provision of the 1979 Code, the south stair tower on the Block 64 garage can be eliminated, thereby reducing the cost of the garage without compromising safety. Public Works recommends adoption of the amendment. A copy of the proposed ordinance was attached to the agenda of March 11, 1980. AUJUURNMENT. per.( U, . 0; w P.�1.
