SNOW LOAD REQUIREMENT WAIVER - Dale Bybee bought for his daughter a double wide mobile home several years ago and has it in the 2 Lazy T court on Quinn, Dale wants to move the home to a lot in Garden Oakes Subdivision on Siphon Road. The home has a 30 psf roof the Chubbuck Building Department requires a 36 psf roof. Attorney Holmes presented Mayor Cotant and Council a report explaining the concerns. The Uniform Building Code leaves it to the local Building Official to determine what is an appropriate snow load for building in the area. The Building Department uses and has used for probably 25 years a University of Idaho study as its basis for the snow load rating. This rating applies to both stick built as well as manufactured homes. The Building Department has no other study upon which to base this decision and this same study is used by Bannock County. Pocatello Building Inspector says Pocatello requires a 30 psf snow roof, but has no study to back it up. 71 COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - (cont.) March 26`", 2002 SNOW LOAD REQUIREMENT WAIVER - (cont.) Dale Bybee and others claim the study is wrong because Idaho Falls, per the Study, would require only 30 psf roofs and Idaho Falls has more snow. Roger Shei, Oakwood Mobile Homes stated the City is in a middle zone in this area, all manufactured homes go by the HUD Code. Mr. Shei stated the HUD Code only requires a snow load of 30 psf in Idaho. Mr. Shei said he has put many homes in the City of Chubbuck over the last few years using a 30psf snow roof, no one has objected. Mr. Shei said the 36 psf snow load roof requirement is creating a hardship on people in the City. Ray Griffin, Chubbuck Building Official stated it is not State Law, it's a study prepared by the University of Idaho. BO Griffin explained how the study works. BO Griffin stated h e has looked for a more up to date study but has not been able to find one. BO Griffin stated he has always required the 36 psf snow roof on manufactured homes. Attorney Holmes pointed out the study is not talking about depth of snow, but the numbers are more orientated to the wetness of the snow. Jennifer Stock said she purchased the home in Chubbuck not knowing there was a 36 psf snow load. Councilman Quick moved to direct the building department to use the 30 psf snow load requirement for manufactured homes, Councilman England seconded.
