4. NEW BUSINESS:
a. Adoption of National Electrical Code, 1984 Edition
Chief Building/Housing Inspector Hansell told Board Members the rationale
for adopting the Code is that the State is adopting it, and we would have
to enforce it. Mr. Kimball felt we should approve it under protest
because there are too many conflicting codes each year. He also felt
there should be an equal number of deletions for the equal number of
additions and feels it is too complicated.
MSUC Kimball/Welsh (6-0) to accept the 1984 National Electric Code under
protest and direct staff to write a letter to the National Fire Protection
Association stating the codes are getting out of hand and craftsman
(non-legal) people have to install and inspect the material.
b. Amending Uniform Building Code Designation One & Two Family Dwelling
Code as Standard for One & Two Family Dwellings.
Chief Building/Housing Inspector Hansell stated that this Code is easier
for the small builder and homeowner to work with which incorporates all
the Codes. It has been adopted by HUD as a minimum standard and all the
model code groups support the document and that the State would accept
it as an amendment to the Uniform Building Code.
MSUC We1sh/Schager (6-0) to adopt the Code.

Chief Building/Housing Inspector Hånsell stated it should read as a
4' easement. The reason for this request is that individuals will
always have access to the side of his house to maintain it. We are
attempting to have a uniform policy since this has been adopted by
the County and City of San Diego.
