MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairrnan Glassman referred to a letter received from Assistant
City Attorney Paul McCloskey, in reply to a letter the Board had
written, requesting that they not issue tickets to Jill Burchill
and John Kerwin. The City Attorney conferred with Frank
Staffenson, from Enviromental Health and Mr. 5taffenson stated,
he does not wish the contaminated water tags issued to the
parties be withdrawn or deferred for later action.
Chairman Glassman, stated that he had the opportunity to meet
with Mike Kasson, from Public Works to discuss the rainieader
situation. A representative from the Water Department will be -
here to give a brief summary.
Mike Kasson, from Public Works - Sewer Division. Mr. Kasson came
to the meeting to explain why rainleaders and sewer separation
are so related, also why the variance process is the way it is.
It was mentioned that the end result is to remove the regulators
from the sanitary sewers system. (At this time a diagram was
passed around showing a very sirr�le plan of an existing regulator
on the sanitary sewer system. ) The purpose of a reguletor is to
allow sanitary sewer to be diverted into a storrn sewer. This is
to prevent a serious condition from existing, that is, to prevent
the sewer from operating under pressure, which would cause
backups all over the neighborhood and could endanger the
integrity of the pipe itself. In a normal manhole there is a sewer
pipe and a storm sewer pipe. With the sewer separation that the
city is undergoing, removal of approximately 240 of the
regulators throughout the city is the final result of the sewer
separation program. Some of the sanitary sewers are close to
capacity in the city, that is why the city is making a big
attempt to remove the vast majority of rainleaders. Since the
rainleader program began, the compliance has been at least 95�
disconnection.

.. �� ���`�l
Chalrman Gla�ssman, referred to a letter that was mailed to him
directly. The letter is from the Saint Paul Board of Realtors.
This letter refers to Two Council Ordinances, that are being
proposed and!� the Board of Realtors is against both of the
Ordinances. Mr. Glassman would like to think that the Board of
Appeals 8 Re iew is against them also, maybe a letter could be
sent to the �ity.
The letter i� essence, states that the Council adopted two
ordinances. ! 1 . that would require the city to request, enabling
legislation �permitting the City of Saint Paul to require the
installationlof sprinkling systems in all new and substantially
rehab residerhtial construction. 2. Commercial and Industrial
buildings, tl�ree stories or more.
The Board of � Realtors is against this. Chairman Glassman asked
the board mer�bers how they felt about these ordinances?
Mr. Glenn Ga�sman, stated that he had clipped an article out of
current Buil�iing Official and Code Administration magazine,
talking abou� mandatory home sprinkler systems, fire safety and
cost. Withou� taking the time to read atl of the fine print, the
home buildin industry is opposed, based on the premise, that it
is not a goo usage of money. (At this time the article was
passed to th board members) .
,
Mr. Glassman�, stated that the Truth 8 Housing Inspection forms -
are being ch�nged to reflect Hard Wired Srnoke Detectors. Hard
Wired Smoke qetectors are being enforced at the time the home is
sold. The ordinance has been delayed for six months for further
study. ,
David Schultz - Feels that if Hard Wired Smoke Detectors were
required acrqss the board, that this would be better protection,
as early warNing, than the sprinkler system.
Pat Fish, froim Fire Prevention stated that the Hard Wired Smoke
Detectors arei required in single family homes. Enforcement is
taking place �at the time the home is sold. She also stated that
the intend oflthis ordinance is to instail the sprinkler system
when the home is being build, therefore, it would be substantial
cost savings,'
Sean Carey, sitated that until building officals lightin-up on
steel pipes a�d allow PVC's. Maybe legislation is needed to
allow PVC's ok- some other type of piping to carry water.
Sprinkler sysltems are designed to safe buildings end smoke
detectors are designed to safe lives.
The Board of Realtors has asked the Board of Appeals and Review
to write a letter to the city telling them that they oppose the
ordinances.
Glenn Gausman', moved to send a letter to City Council . Seconded by

Ron Glassman. The vote was 4 to 1 in favor of sending a letter
