AGENDA ITEM
Regular Board of Trustees Meeting
of
October 22, 2013
SUBJECT: Text Amendment—Title 10, Building Regulations
FROM: Bill Hudson, Chief Building Inspector
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move for passage of Ordinance G-1011, "An Ordinance
Amending Section 10-1-2 Of The Village Code Of The Village Of Oak Brook Relating To
Span Table Amendments In The International Building Code"
Background/History:
Southern Yellow Pine lumber has traditionally been considered a premium structural product,
with bearing capacities that exceeded all other commonly available species. This additional
strength factor has now been shown to have diminshed in recently harvested materials. In
response, The American Wood Council and Southern Forest Products Association have provided
some emergency amendments for our adopted Building and Residential codes.
The proposed amendments are taken verbatim from those provided by The American Wood
Council and Southern Forest Products Association.
These amendments, as attached exhibits to the Ordinance, will be inserted into the Village Code
by Sterling Codifiers.
There are no other changes to the Building Codes proposed at this time.
Recommendation:
I recommend that this Ordinance be passed.
