A. UNIFORM BUILDING CODE, Volume I, 1970 EDITION
1. Sections 8-100, 8-101, 8-102, 8-109, 8-110, and 8-111 are
administrative amendments which provide for fees and refunds
which are commensurate with the services provided by the B~ilding
Department and designed to produce revenues for services per-
formed.

order to insure compliance with all other applicable City ordi-
nances and laws related to construction.
3. Section 8-156 adds requirements for fencing of swimming
pools, etc., in order to reduce the potential hazards to small
children.
4. Section 8-200 incorporates into the 1970 Edition modifica-
tions which have already been approved for the 1973 Edition of
the Uniform Building Code. The modifications reduce the limi-
tations upon the enclosing of patio covers.
B. UNIFORM PLUMBING CODE - 1970 EDITION

tions and penalties to be consistent with provisions in the

surate with the services provided by the Building Department

to the adverse affects of soil incompatibility with ferrous
