Citizen Comments: None Minutes for Correction/Approval: March 5, 2019 The minutes were approved on a motion by Jason Peterson and approved unanimously by voice vote. Chairman Koch said item #9 would be moved to the end of the agenda. New Business 1. EDC 2019-30 Building Permit Report for February 2019 Mr. Ratos reported 15 single family attached home permits and a total of 45 permits issued in February. No further discussion. 2. EDC 2019-31 Building Inspection Report for February 2019 There were 236 inspections in February and most of those were single family. Mr. Ratos said the inspections should uptick as the weather improves. Page 2 of 3 3. EDC 2019-32 Property Maintenance Report for February 2019 There were several motor vehicle violations in February and all were dismissed except one. A second citation was issued and the matter became compliant prior to a hearing. 4. EDC 2019-33 Economic Development Report for March 2019 Ms. Dubajic was unable to be present and Mr. Olson said there were many updates on the report included in the agenda packet. Representatives of the proposed Gas N Wash will attend the May EDC meeting. They have been asked to meet with residents to address concerns prior to that meeting. Due to a large number of complaints, Mr. Frieders asked if the city could produce an infograph to explain the process of how certain businesses come to fruition. Mr. Olson added that the city can incur legal trouble by denying a certain type of business to locate in Yorkville. He said the information will also be available on social media and posted on the website. Additionally, Chairman Koch asked for a status update on the hotel. It is scheduled for a year-end opening. 5. EDC 2019-34 Grande Reserve Unit 23 – Final Plat Amendment Ms. Noble said this area was recently approved for 3 bedrooms. There are 6 lots that need lot lines adjustments due to the original building plans for the garage position and the request is to slightly extend the lot lines for 2 lots into the open space and the detention basin. Engineers said there would be no significant impact. This revision would have occurred without the change in the number of bedrooms. Mr. Jason Hinkle of Ryan Homes was present for questions. It was also noted that each development in Grande Reserve has its own HOA. This moves to PZC and then City Council. 6. EDC 2019-35 Morton Buildings, Inc. - Rezoning Ms. Noble said Morton Buildings has been searching for a location in the city and found a spot in the Yorkville Business Development. They are requesting rezoning from B-3 to M-1 on one of the two parcels they are purchasing, while the other one is appropriately zoned M-1. Roger Bauer from Morton Buildings was present to provide information. Mr. Bauer said they hope to be ready for business this summer and this is part of the company redevelopment plan. Morton will be closing two other facilities and consolidating them into the Yorkville site. The local building will be 7,000 square feet for a 4-crew operation and 3-4 sales consultants and all equipment/materials will be inside the building or fence. He said this site was selected because of the unobstructed view to a future 4-lane highway. He described the building facade material and said it will have a metal roof. Alderman Peterson said his experience with metal roofs is that the paint fades or falls off later. Mr. Bauer said the technology has greatly improved and it will be pre-coated before construction. 7. EDC 2019-36 Micropigmentation – Text Amendment Colleen Murphy, owner of Arch Microblade Studio, wishes to expand her services to include micropigmentation. Ms. Murphy said she has had to send customers elsewhere for this service. Ms. Noble said the text will be amended to include all such services. The committee was OK with this amendment and it moves forward to the Council consent agenda. Page 3 of 3 8. EDC 2019-37 8225 Galena Road – 1.5 Mile Review This is a rezoning from A-1 to R-1 and is within the Montgomery boundary. The petitioner is establishing a garage carpentry business and has already gone to the County Planning and Zoning. Ms. Noble said the city is OK with the request and it moves forward to PZC and then to City Council. 10. EDC 2019-39 Utility Box Art (out of sequence) This item went before the Public Works committee and was brought to this committee for further discussion. Alderman Frieders has proposed painting of utility boxes, similar to an Aurora program, as part of the downtown improvements. Due to lack of utility boxes in the downtown, hydrants or manhole covers are other options. Staff is looking for input on how they should proceed with the project. Alderman Frieders said after guidelines are put in place, the program and leadership should be transferred to a curator. He discussed the various aspects of the program and offered to help organize it. It was noted that permission from the Fire Department will be needed to paint the hydrants and manholes will be considered first. It is hoped that a schedule will be in place by the end of summer. 9. EDC 2019-38 Building Code Update (out of sequence) Mr. Ratos presented a letter of support from BKFD to not include fire suppression in single family homes since the cost would be prohibitive. Mr. Ratos said the update process for the International Building Code and International Residential Code began in May 2018. This update will be brought to EDC in May, PZC/Public Hearing in August, open house in June or July and then City Council. A social media campaign was initiated as well as a website with FAQ. A mailer was sent to builders and developers and Mr. Ratos also met with builders. Mr. Ratos went through the various changes made in both codes. Old Business 1. EDC 2019-26 Short Term Rental Regulations This was discussed at EDC and they recommended it simply be allowed as a permitted use. The committee was OK with this and it moves to the PZC for a Public Hearing. Additional Business There was no further business and the meeting adjourned at 7:15pm.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number New Business #5 Tracking Number EDC 2019-44 Lenny’s Gas N Wash Economic Development Committee - May 7, 2019 Details proposed Gas N Wash Special Use Request Jason Engberg Community Development Name Department SUMMARY: The petitioner, Leonard McEnery, on behalf of Lenny’s Gas N Wash, LLC, has filed an application with the United City of Yorkville, Kendall County, Illinois, requesting special use permit approval pursuant to Section 10-6-0 of the Yorkville City Code for a gasoline service station with accessory convenience store and ancillary car wash. The property is zoned B-3 General Business District and is located at the southeast corner of the US 34 (W Veterans Parkway) and Sycamore Road intersection. PROPERTY INFORMATION: The 3.43-acre property is currently being utilized for agricultural purposes and is part of Unit 6 of the Fox Hill Development (see below). The following zoning districts land uses surround the parcel: Zoning Land Use North A-1 Agriculture (Kendall County) Undeveloped Farm Land East B-3 General Business District Advocate Clinic South B-3 General Business District Vacant/Office/Detention West B-3 Highway Business District Commercial Strip Center Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: April 29, 2019 Subject: PC 2019-14 Lenny’s Gas N Wash (Special Use) Proposed New Fuel Station, Convenience Store & Car Wash PROJECT DESCRIPTION: As proposed, the Gas N Wash will be a full-service gas station for personal vehicles and large semi- trucks. The project will also include an automated car wash and convenience store for its patrons. A potential fast food establishment, such as Dunkin Donuts, will be attached to the convenience store and will be accessible internally and externally via a drive-through lane. SITE PLAN: The proposed 3.43-acre site plan was reviewed by various City departments and outside agencies to ensure compliance with applicable ordinances, regulations and standards with regard to building setbacks, parking/parking setbacks, circulation/access roads, stormwater management/utilities, landscaping and signage. Below are the summaries of those reviews. Bulk Regulations The petitioner has depicted the following property’s building setback locations: Building Setback Required Minimum Proposed Setback Front Yard 20 feet 144.8 feet Interior Side Yard 50 feet 44.3 feet Corner Side Yard (West) 30 feet 101.7 feet Corner Side Yard (South) 30 feet Over 200 feet The maximum permitted building height in the B-3 District is 80 feet. The overall height of the primary building is 21 feet and the accessory car wash is about 34 feet (at its peak). The maximum lot coverage for the B-3 General Business District including all impervious surfaces is 80 percent. The proposed impervious lot coverage is 67 percent. Residential Proximity It is important to understand the distance the development is to the nearest residential properties to ensure that the safety, health, and general welfare of the residents is protected. The most southern point of the proposed property is about 325 feet away from the most northern point of the nearest residential property. There is a 1.5 acre commercially zoned vacant property and a 3.5-acre park between the proposed development and the nearest homes in Fox Hill. Due to the distance and larger properties buffering the proposed development from residences, staff is not recommending additional screening efforts for this project. Parking The submitted plans show a total of 25 parking spaces including 2 handicapped accessible spaces. The total minimum required parking spaces needed per the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance is 15 spaces. Therefore, the proposed 25 spaces exceed the required minimum. Additionally, the petitioner has met the minimum required parking setbacks (as measured by scale bar) of 20 feet from US Route 34 and 10 feet from Sycamore Road. Stacking All drive-in and drive-through facilities shall provide vehicle stacking in accordance with table 10.16.05 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance: Use Minimum Number of Vehicles Car Wash, Automatic 5 vehicles per bay at entrance 2 vehicles per bay at exit Restaurant, Fast Food 3 vehicles behind menu board 3 vehicles behind first window The petitioner meets these requirements by providing 6 vehicles behind the entrance and 2 vehicles at the exit for the car wash. Additionally, they provide 5 vehicles behind the menu board and 3 from the window of the primary structure. Loading Zone A designated loading zone for food delivery services for the convenience store is located at the northwest corner of the parking lot. Staff requested this zone be designated to avoid delivery trucks parking in front of the handicap accessible parking spots. This will also ensure proper maneuverability and sightlines for all patrons of the Gas N Wash. Elevations Although not required as part of the Special Use process, renderings and building elevations for the proposed Gas N Wash buildings have been provided which appear to meet the following Appearance Code requirements: Per Section 8-15-5: Criteria for Appearance of the City Code, new non-residential structures shall have at least fifty percent (50%) of the total building constructed of masonry products or precast concrete incorporated as follows: i. Front Façade: At least 50% shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. ii. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. Signage The petitioner has indicated monument signage on the site plan and wall signage on the renderings. There are no dimensions or measurements on these signs. The petitioner must conform to all regulations in Section 10-20 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance. The petitioner has been informed of the requirements and is evaluating whether their sign package is consistent with the City’s requirements. If the petitioner needs to vary from the City’s standards, they will have to apply for sign variance approval. Driveways Per Section 10-16-3-D of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, nonresidential driveways shall be a minimum of two hundred feet (200') when from the driveway edge to the nearest intersecting street right of way line. Driveways not meeting the minimum distances may be approved administratively by the city administrator with a recommendation to approve made by the city engineer. The northern most access point along Sycamore Road is about 170 feet from the Route 34 and Sycamore Road intersection. While this driveway is closer than 200 feet, it does line up with the existing access point to the west to create a four-way intersection. The layout and configuration of this site plan has been reviewed by the City engineer and they have recommended approval. City staff is receptive to permitting this entrance location moving forward. Lighting A photometric plan has been provided along with manufacturers cut sheets of the proposed light standards to be installed within the parking lot area. Maximum illumination at the property line shall not exceed 0.1 foot-candle and no glare shall spill onto adjacent properties or rights of way. The current plans indicate the lighting will exceed the City’s requirements in some locations. Staff has spoken with the petitioner and the photometric plan will be revised to meet the City’s standards before their scheduled public hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission’s June 12, 2019 meeting. Screening The petitioner meets the requirements for screening a large refuse container as outline in Section 17 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates this for neighborhood retail. This land use is designated for small to medium scale auto-oriented commercial uses, such as retail centers and restaurants located near residential areas. Therefore, the proposed use is consistent with the designated future land use plan. ENGINEERING REVIEW: The City Engineer has reviewed the plans and continues to work with the petitioner in updating the plans as comments are given. Please see the attached memorandums regarding engineering and landscape review by the City’s consultants. All requests made will be required as part of the special use request. RESIDENTIAL MEETING: Due to the proximity of this proposed development to residential homes in the Fox Hill subdivision, Staff required the petitioner to hold a separate residential meeting with nearby property owners to discuss potential or perceived negative impacts of the development. The meeting was conducted by the petitioner on April 24, 2019 at the Yorkville Public Library. The attendance list and notes from that meeting are attached to this memorandum. In summary, the petitioner addressed the following issues with residents: • Other sites within the City were researched and this site best suits their needs • Ingress and egress have been modified from initial plans to ensure truck traffic on local roads is reduced to a minimum • Directional signage will be posted on site to reduce the amount of traffic along Sycamore Road • The petitioner plans to reduce lighting to zero foot candles at the property line • The petitioner stated all car wash equipment which generates noise will be located inside • The Gas N Wash will be a 24 hour a day operation • The petitioner will be applying for a gaming license from the State ADDITIONAL MATERIALS REQUIRED: The following items will need to be submitted before the scheduled June 12, 2019 public hearing is held: • Truck turning template • Trip generation statistics • Conforming photometric plan • Sign package (if seeking sign variance) SPECIAL USE CRITERIA: Section 10-4-9F of the City’s Zoning Ordinance establishes standards for special use requests. No special use shall be recommended by the plan commission unless said commission shall find that: 1. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the special use will not be unreasonably detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare. 2. The special use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purpose already permitted, nor substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighborhood in which it is to be located. 3. The establishment of the special use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property for uses permitted in the district. 4. Adequate utilities, access roads, drainage or other necessary facilities have been or are being provided. 5. Adequate measures have been or will be taken to provide ingress or egress so designed as to minimize traffic congestion in the public streets. 6. The proposed special use is not contrary to the objectives of the official comprehensive plan of the City as amended. The applicant has provided written responses to these special use standards as part of their application and requests inclusion of those responses into the public record during the public hearing at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. STAFF COMMENTS: Staff is seeking input and comments from the Economic Development Committee. The proposed special use is tentatively scheduled for a public hearing on June 12, 2019 before the Planning and Zoning Commission. A recommendation will be forwarded to the City Council for consideration at the July 9, 2019 regularly scheduled meeting. Staff will be available to answer any question the Economic Development Committee may have at Tuesday night’s meeting. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Petitioner Application 2. Land Title Survey 3.

In these cases a special use must be granted. This packet explains the process to successfully submit and complete an Application for Special Use.

Typical requests requiring the establishment of a Petitioner Deposit Account Fund include, but are not limited to, plan review of development approvals/engineering permits. Deposit account funds may also be used to cover costs for services related to legal fees, engineering and other plan reviews, processing of other governmental applications, recording fees and other outside coordination and consulting fees. Each fund account is established with an initial deposit based upon the estimated cost for services provided in the INVOICE & WORKSHEET PETITION APPLICATION. This initial deposit is drawn against to pay for these services related to the project or request. Periodically throughout the project review/approval process, the Financially Responsible Party will receive an invoice reflecting the charges made against the account. At any time the balance of the fund account fall below ten percent (10%) of the original deposit amount, the Financially Responsible Party will receive an invoice requesting additional funds equal to one-hundred percent (100%) of the initial deposit if subsequent reviews/fees related to the project are required. In the event that a deposit account is not immediately replenished, review by the administrative staff, consultants, boards and commissions may be suspended until the account is fully replenished. If additional funds remain in the deposit account at the completion of the project, the city will refund the balance to the Financially Responsible Party. A written request must be submitted by the Financially Responsible Party to the city by the 15th of the month in order for the refund check to be processed and distributed by the 15th of the following month.

Further, the sale or other disposition of the property does not relieve the individual or Company/ Corporation of their obligation to maintain a positive balance in the fund account, unless the United City of Yorkville approves a Change of Responsible Party and transfer of funds.

Attached is a sign-in sheet from that meeting. In addition to those who signed in, there were 5 representatives from Lenny's present. The Lenny's representatives were Lyman Tieman (attorney), Brian Hertz (civil engineer), Scott Pritchett (architect/planner), Kevin McEnery (ownership representative) and Greg Galgan (construction supervisor). We were also pleased to have Alderman Funkhouser stop by. The most prominent question raised was whether we had investigated other locations in the area for use as a gas station. We indicated that we had looked at other sites, but that each of the other sites had issues relating to public utilities, zoning, physical conditions of the site and location. This site best suits our needs since it is on a major highway, is currently zoned to accommodate our use, has utilities available at the site, is bordered by other commercial and farm property and is not adjacent to residential uses. Other issues raised were: Truck Traffic: The flow of traffic into and out of our site is specifically addressed by our site plan which utilizes the proposed right-in right-out onto Route 34 as a means to minimize traffic flow on Sycamore Road. Additionally, our northern entrance on Sycamore has been re-aligned at staff's suggestion to line up with the access to the commercial property on the west side of Sycamore and the southern most entrance on Sycamore has been moved slightly north to minimize impact on the neighborhood park. Further directional signage will be posted on site directing any trucks to avoid going further south on Sycamore. We explained that the vast majority of diesel customers are smaller box type trucks, pickups with trailers landscape trucks and other delivery vehicles. We generally separate the diesel users from the gasoline users to avoid traffic conflicts on site. Lighting: Our lighting is designed to minimize any impact on neighboring properties thru the use of LED lighting, recessed canopy lighting and downward directional lighting. Our lighting will be designed and constructed to meet all City standards and will be zero foot candles at the property line. Noise: In relation to the car wash, all equipment that is noise generating is locate within the building including vacuum pumps. Only the vacuum hoses are located outside. The drying equipment is located at the north end of the car wash building and is pointed away from any residences. Hours of Operation: The fueling and convenience store will operate 24 hours a day. The car wash and drive-up food service windows will have restricted hours of operation. Gaming: With regard to gaming, we advised that we intend to apply to the State for a gaming license and that it is up to the State as to whether we meet the criteria for the issuance of a license under State law. LYMAN C. TIEMAN ATTORNEY AT LAW 12417 TAHOE LANE MOKENA, IL 60448 815-717-6365 (OFFICE) 815-370-3383 (CELL) LCTIEMAN@YAHOO.COM I have reviewed the application for Special Use approval received March 13, 2019 as submitted by Lenny’s Gas N Wash Yorkville, LLC, Petitioner, as well as a Preliminary Site Plan, Preliminary Utility & Stormwater Plan and ALTA Survey prepared by M Gingerich Gereaux & Associates dated March 13, 2019; Landscape Plan prepared by Upland Design LTD dated March 6, 2019; Photometric Plans; and architectural renderings and elevations prepared by ARSA Associates dated March 12, 2019 and March 13, 2019, respectively. The petitioner is seeking special use permit authorization of a proposed new fuel station and convenience store building to be constructed on approximately 3.43-acres of vacant land located at the southeast corner of US 34 and Sycamore Road. Based upon my review of the application documents and preliminary plans, I have compiled the following comments: GENERAL ZONING/PLANNING COMMENTS: 1. ZONING - The subject property is currently zoned as B-3 General Business District. The following are the current immediate surrounding zoning and land uses: Zoning Land Use North A-1 Agriculture (Kendall County) Undeveloped Farm Land South B-3 General Business District Vacant/Office East B-3 General Business District Medical Office West B-3 Highway Business District Multi-tenant Commercial Retail 2.

MAXIMUM BUILDING HEIGHT - Maximum building height for the B-3 District is 80 feet. The overall height of the primary building is 34’ and the accessory structures are 21’-2”. Memorandum To: Plan Council From: Krysti Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director Date: April 3, 2019 Subject: PC 2019-14 Lenny’s Gas N Wash (Special Use) Proposed New Fuel Station & Convenience Store 4. PARKING - According to the data table on the Site Plans submitted, there are 25 total parking stalls provided for the convenience store, including two (2) ADA handicapped accessible space. Per Section 10-16-3 of the Yorkville Zoning Code, the total required minimum parking needed is 15 spaces, which is exceeded by the 25 on-site spaces provided. 5. PARKING SETBACKS – The applicant appears to have met the required minimum parking lot setback of 20 feet from arterial roadways (US 34) and 10 feet from non- arterial roadways (Sycamore Road) for the proposed development as follows: PARKING LOT SETBACK REQUIRED MINIMUM PROPOSED PARKING LOT SETBACK US Route 34 – North (Arterial) 20’ Please Verify Sycamore Road –West (Non-Arterial) 10’ Please Verify Per Section 10-2-3 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, “Parking Area, Private” is an open, hard surfaced area, other than a street or public way for the storage of private passenger vehicles. “Driveway” is defined as a paved or unpaved private roadway providing vehicular access between the right of way of the street and a parking space (storage area). 6. VEHICLE STACKING - All drive-in and drive-through facilities shall provide vehicle stacking in accordance with table 10.16.05 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance as seen below: Use Minimum Number of Vehicles Required Minimum Number of Vehicles Provided Car wash, automatic 5 vehicles per bay at entrance 6 vehicles per bay at entrance 2 vehicles per bay at exit 2 vehicles per bay at exit Restaurant, fast food 3 vehicles behind menu board 5 vehicles behind menu board 3 vehicles behind first window 3 vehicles behind first window Stacking space dimension: 12' x 20' and the minimum pavement lane width shall be twelve feet (12'). A twelve-foot (12') bypass lane is required adjacent to the stacking lane to allow vehicles to circumvent the stacking lane. The plans illustrate compliance with this requirement. 7. LOADING ZONE – Please verify the location of any loading zone area for convenience and food delivery services. Per Section 10-2-3, Off-Street Loading and Unloading Spaces shall be exclusive of access aisles and maneuvering space. Since a loading berth or dock is not required for the size and use of the proposed convenience building, staff suggests locating the loading zone area on site where it does not interfere with gas station users’ maneuverability or sight lines. 8. MAXIMUM LOT COVERAGE – Per Section 10-7-1 of the Yorkville Zoning Code, the maximum lot coverage for the B-3 General Business District (inclusive of sidewalks, parking areas and all impervious surfaces) is 80%. The Site Data Table indicates a maximum impervious coverage of 67%. 9. BUILDING ELEVATIONS – Although not required as part of the Special Use process, color renderings and building elevations for the proposed Gas N Wash buildings have been provided which meet the following Appearance Code requirements: a. Per Section 8-15-5: Criteria for Appearance of the City Code, new non-residential structures shall have at least fifty percent (50%) of the total building constructed of masonry products or precast concrete incorporated as follows: i. Front Façade: At least 50% shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. ii. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. 10. SIGNAGE – The petitioner is indicated monument signage on site plan and architectural renderings. Additionally, wall signage is illustrated on the convenience building and canopies at the gas pumps. However, no dimensions, material or details are provided regarding these signs. a. Per Section 10-20-9-A-2 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, the maximum sign area for building mounted signs shall not exceed 2 square feet for each linear foot for each exterior wall of that part of the building in which the sign is located. Additionally, no wall sign shall extend more than 75% of the width of the building façade to which it is attached. In addition, signs located on exterior walls not having a public entrance shall not exceed 1 square for for each square foot of wall length for a maximum of 50% of the overall length of that wall. All façade dimensions shall be provided in a site data table to determine if this requirement is being met. b. Per Section 10-20-5-R of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, permanent, non- flashing signs on vending machines, gas pumps, ice and propane storage units are exempt from the Sign regulations. c. Due to the varying depths in wall elevations and wall heights illustrated on the convenience building, the following regulations for sign measurement shall apply: i. Per Section 10-20-6-A of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, building mounted wall sign area calculations are based on each wall of an exterior building facing a lot line and a public right-of-way. An exterior building wall which faces a lot line may contain more than a single wall for sign area calculation purposes. If portions of the exterior building wall face the same lot line and are separated by four feet (4') or more in depth from that lot line, then they are considered two (2) separate walls for sign area calculation purposes. If separated by less than four feet (4') they shall be considered a single exterior building wall for sign area calculation purposes. If two (2) exterior walls create an angle greater than one hundred thirty-five degrees (135°) on the horizontal plane, then it shall be considered a single exterior wall. Any two (2) exterior walls which create an angle of less than one hundred thirty-five degrees (135°) on the horizontal plane shall be considered two (2) separate walls. d. Per Section 10-20-9-A of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, free standing monument signs on lots less than 3 acres shall have a maximum sign area of 32 square feet and a maximum height of 12 feet, as measured from the crown of the adjacent roadway. Additionally, Section 10-20-9-A-3 of the Zoning Ordinance states a maximum sign area for electronic message signs is 32 square feet. All monument sign dimensions shall be provided in a site data table to determine if this requirement is being met. 11. DRIVEWAYS – Per Section 10-16-3-D of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, Nonresidential driveways shall be a minimum of two hundred feet (200') when from the driveway edge to the nearest intersecting street right of way line. Driveways not meeting the minimum distances may be approved administratively by the city administrator with a recommendation to approve made by the city engineer. If administrative approval is not granted, a variance must be approved. Please provide dimensions that illustrate compliance with this requirement. 12. LIGHTING – A photometric plan has been provided along with manufacturers cut sheets of the proposed light standards to be installed within the parking lot area. Maximum illumination at the property line shall not exceed 0.1 foot-candle and no glare shall spill onto adjacent properties or rights of way. 13. OUTDOOR SALES AND DISPLAY AREAS – Due to the proposed use as a gas station with retail convenience store, staff assumes there will be outdoor sales and display areas located on the property. Therefore, the following provisions of the Zoning Ordinance shall apply: a. Per Section 10-3-10-F of the Yorkville Zoning Code, outdoor sales and display areas shall not exceed 35% of the gross floor area of the primary building (max 1400 sq. ft for Lot 102). Staff is seeking confirmation from the Petitioner that the overall area of the Outdoor Sales area will not exceed 1,400 square feet at any given time. b. Per Section 10-3-10-H of the Yorkville Zoning Code, outdoor sales and display areas, when located on a sidewalk and/or walkway, must allow for an unconstructive area of 3 feet for pedestrian access and shall not block the ingress or egress of the building at any time. 14. TRUCK TURNING TEMPLATE – Please provide a truck turning template demonstrating the maneuverability of standard sized semitrucks within the site layout. 15. LANDSCAPE PLAN – Refer to engineer’s comments. 16. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN – Refer to Senior Planner’s comments. 17. SIDEWALKS – Sidewalks exist on Sycamore Road along the site’s western properly line. Are sidewalks being proposed along the northern property line along US 34? 18. ADJACENT PUBLIC PARK – There have been concerns from residents regarding the proximity of the proposed far south driveway entrance along Sycamore Road for the diesel pumps to the nearby public park entrance to the baseball field. Would the petitioner consider signage which restricts semitruck traffic from utilizing the access point onto the existing southern private drive thereby requiring trucks to head north and exit directly onto US 34 and eliminating trucks heading west to Sycamore Road as they exit? I have reviewed the application for Special Use approval received March 13, 2019 as submitted by Lenny’s Gas N Wash Yorkville, LLC, petitioner, as well as a Preliminary Site Plan, Preliminary Utility & Stormwater Plan and ALTA Survey prepared by M Gingerich Gereaux & Associates dated March 13, 2019; Landscape Plan prepared by Upland Design LTD dated March 6, 2019; Photometric Plans; and architectural renderings and elevations prepared by ARSA Associates dated March 12, 2019 and March 13, 2019, respectively. The petitioner is seeking special use permit authorization of a proposed new fuel station with accessory convenience store and car wash to be constructed on approximately 3.4 acres of vacant land located at the southeast corner of US 34 and Sycamore Road. Based upon my review of the application documents and preliminary plans, I have compiled the following comments: ZONING The subject property is currently zoned as B-3 General Business District. The following are the current immediate surrounding zoning and land uses: Zoning Land Use North A-1 Agriculture (Kendall County) Undeveloped Farm Land East B-3 General Business District Advocate Clinic South B-3 General Business District Vacant/Office/Detention West B-3 Highway Business District Commercial Strip Center BULK REGULATIONS Staff notes that the petitioner has depicted the following property’s building setback locations: Building Setback Required Minimum Proposed Setback* Front Yard 20 feet 142 feet Interior Side Yard 50 feet 44.3 feet Corner Side Yard (Sycamore) 30 feet 104 feet Corner Side Yard (John) 30 feet 190 feet * Approximate measurement, measured with scale bar on site plans The maximum building height in the B-3 District is 80 feet.

The maximum lot coverage for the B-3 General Business District including all impervious surfaces is 80 percent. The proposed impervious lot coverage is 67 percent. Memorandum To: Plan Council From: Jason Engberg, Senior Planner Date: April 8, 2019 Subject: PC 2019-14 Lenny’s Gas N Wash (Special Use) Proposed New Fuel Station, Convenience Store & Car Wash PARKING The submitted plans show a total of 25 parking spaces including 2 handicapped accessible spaces. The total minimum required parking spaces needed per the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance is 15 spaces. Therefore, the proposed 25 spaces exceed the required minimum. Additionally, the petitioner has met the minimum required parking setbacks (as measured by scale bar) of 20 feet from US Route 34 and 10 feet from Sycamore Road. STACKING All drive-in and drive-through facilities shall provide vehicle stacking in accordance with table 10.16.05 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance: Use Minimum Number of Vehicles Car Wash, Automatic 5 vehicles per bay at entrance 2 vehicles per bay at exit Restaurant, Fast Food 3 vehicles behind menu board 3 vehicles behind first window The petitioner meets these requirements by providing 6 vehicles behind the entrance and 2 vehicles at the exit for the car wash. Additionally, they provide 5 vehicles behind the menu board and 3 from the window of the primary structure. BUILDING ELEVATIONS Although not required as part of the Special Use process, renderings and building elevations for the proposed Gas N Wash buildings have been provided which meet the following Appearance Code requirements: Per Section 8-15-5: Criteria for Appearance of the City Code, new non-residential structures shall have at least fifty percent (50%) of the total building constructed of masonry products or precast concrete incorporated as follows: i. Front Façade: At least 50% shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. ii. Any other facade that abuts a street shall incorporate masonry products or precast concrete. SIGNAGE The petitioner has indicated monument signage on the site plan and wall signage on the renderings. There are no dimensions or measurements on these signs. The petitioner must conform to all regulations in Section 10-20 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance. If the petitioner is concerned about meeting these requirements, they should discuss their plans with staff and possibly create a sign package for review. DRIVEWAYS Per Section 10-16-3-D of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, nonresidential driveways shall be a minimum of two hundred feet (200') when from the driveway edge to the nearest intersecting street right of way line. Driveways not meeting the minimum distances may be approved administratively by the city administrator with a recommendation to approve made by the city engineer. If administrative approval is not granted, the petitioner must request a variance for this item. LIGHTING A photometric plan has been provided along with manufacturers cut sheets of the proposed light standards to be installed within the parking lot area. Maximum illumination at the property line shall not exceed 0.1 foot-candle and no glare shall spill onto adjacent properties or rights of way. The current plans indicate the lighting will exceed the City’s requirements and must be revised. FENCING AND SCREENING As outlined in the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance, the petitioner must meet the following standards for large refuse containers: Commercial trash dumpsters and other large waste receptacles or equipment shall be screened on three (3) sides with a solid opaque material wall at least six feet (6') in height or to the extent where the wall screens the dumpster from view. The material must match the building and have an opaque single or double access gate on the fourth side. A detail of the enclosure is required on the plan. Landscaping is preferred to be put around the perimeter of the three (3) solid walls. The petitioner’s plans meet these requirements. There are no proposed fences indicated on the site plan and there are none required. Although, adjacent uses may prefer screening from the gas station and it may be requested in the future by residents or committee/commission members. If one is requested and added as a condition to the special use, the fence will need to conform to all standards in Section 10-17 of the Yorkville Zoning Ordinance. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN The 2016 Comprehensive Plan designates this for neighborhood retail. This land use is designated for small to medium scale auto-oriented commercial uses, such as retail centers and restaurants located near residential areas. Therefore, the proposed use is consistent with the designated future land use plan. TRAFFIC PATTERN There have been concerns from residents regarding the proximity of the proposed driveway entrance along Sycamore Road for the diesel pumps to the nearby public park entrance to the baseball field. Additionally, the access on John Street may not be suitable for large semi-truck traffic. The petitioner may want to reconsider laying out the traffic pattern on the site to accommodate these concerns. This may include one larger access point along sycamore and removing the location along John Street. I received the packet for PZC 2019-14 Lenny’s Car Wash Special Use, and have the following comments and questions. 1. Has there been contact with IDOT regarding the Rt. 34 access? If so, what was the response? 2. Has a traffic study been performed? If so, can we see the results? If not, when is it scheduled to be performed? 3. With the additional traffic, Sycamore Rd. should be repaved from Rt. 34 to the south end of the property. The projected traffic count will determine the pavement thickness. 4. The north entrance on Sycamore Rd. should line up with the entrance to the strip mall on the opposite side of Sycamore Rd. 5. North entrance on Sycamore Rd. should be perpendicular to Sycamore Rd. 6. There can be no trees within 20’ of the end of radius of the entrances, please adjust accordingly. The city would be open to removal and replacement of parkway trees if entrance radii cannot be altered.

Reviewed By: Legal Finance Engineer City Administrator Human Resources Community Development Police Public Works Parks and Recreation Agenda Item Number Old Business #1 Tracking Number EDC 2019-38 2018 Building Code Update Economic Development Committee – May 7, 2019 N/A N/A N/A Discussion of proposed update to the city’s current 2009 International Code series to the 2018 International Code series in relation to fire sprinklers. Peter Ratos Building Department Name Department Background In May, of 2018, the United City of Yorkville’s Building and Zoning Division of the Community Development Department began the process of thoroughly reviewing and analyzing our current building code ordinance. A major part of this process was reviewing the requirements for fire suppression in single family homes in the 2018 ICC Codes. Currently the City enforces the 2009 International Code Council (ICC) series which were adopted by Yorkville on July 26, 2011. The requirement for fire suppression in single family detached homes was removed from the 2009 ICC Codes during the adoption process. Concerns of the cost to install the fire sprinkler systems and the cost to homeowners in maintaining the system had been raised by builders and residents during the adoption of the 2009 ICC Codes. Summary The 2018 IRC Code is a comprehensive guide to the proper construction of residential property. While the Code does require fire sprinklers in all residential structures, the writers of the Code did understand that the cost and feasibility of the installation of sprinklers would vary between communities. For that reason, the Code still contains provisions for the construction of single family detached homes without fire sprinklers. The provisions are a mixture of increased protection for the structure and alternative building planning methods to ensure the safety of the occupants of non- sprinklered homes. There are four (4) provisions in the Code which requires this increased level of protection, and they are as follows: 1. Exterior Walls - Section R302.1(1) - Non-fire rated exterior walls may not be within five (5) feet of the property line and must maintain a one-hour fire rating. Openings in the exterior wall may not exceed 25% of the wall area. Projections in an exterior wall must maintain a one-hour fire rating on the underside of the projection. (Explanation) – In the home being built today there is no requirement for fire rating of exterior walls or projections unless the wall is adjacent from another property. The 2018 IRC requires all walls within five (5) feet of the property line or within five (5) feet of any structure to have a one-hour fire rating. Also, any projections of the exterior wall (cantilevers, bay windows, etc.) require the same one-hour fire rating as the exterior wall. 2. Protection of Floors - Section- R302.13- Light framed floor assemblies that are not fire rated are required to be provided with a ½ inch gypsum wall-board or 5/8 wood structural panel. (Explanation) - Floors constructed out of materials such as I-joists, open web trusses, laminated veneer plywood and dimensional lumber smaller then 2x10 are now required to have a minimum of one layer of drywall. The major area of impact for this provision would be the first-floor to basement floor assembly. In the current 2009 Code, there is no requirement to fire protect the floor system. Memorandum To: Economic Development Committee From: Peter Ratos Building Code Official Krysti J. Barksdale-Noble, Community Development Director CC: Bart Olson, City Administrator Date: March 29, 2019 Subject: 2018 ICC Fire Sprinkler Recommendation 3. A. Flame Spread Index - Section R302.9.1- Walls and ceiling finishes shall have a flame spread index of not greater than 200. B. Smoke Development Index - Walls and ceiling finishes shall have a smoke development index of not greater than 450. (Explanation)- In the 2018 Code, the need to control the amount and type of combustible material used to finish the building is addressed. As part of this effort, the amount of smoke the materials create when burning is also taken into consideration. All approved materials have been tested in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E84 or the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 723. During the testing process the product is given a flame spread rating and a smoke development rating. These ratings are reviewed to ensure that the finishings in the home do not cause a hazard if a fire occurs. The most common materials that are reviewed include wall paper and natural and synthetic wall texturing systems. 4. Egress - Section R310 - Basements, habitable attics and every sleeping room shall have not less than one emergency escape and rescue opening. (Explanation)- Under the 2018 Code, a house with a fire sprinkler system needs only one way in or out of a basement, attic living area or bedroom. This provision would require an approved emergency exit and rescue opening (9 sq. ft window well or 5.7 sq. ft openable area window) from every sleeping area or living area. Cost of sprinkler systems The cost of the installation of a fire suppression system has been estimated between $2 to $4 per square foot of building area. The building area is established by adding all the condition space together in the home including unfinished spaces. This translates to a cost of between $8,000 and $16,000 for the average 2000 sq. ft ranch home with a full basement. The cost of maintaining a fire system includes the certification of the back-flow preventer every year at a cost of $100 to $225. All fire systems are recommended to be inspected by a State Licensed fire installer every 5 to 7 years. Sprinkler heads are recommended to be replaced ever 10 years at a cost of $5 to $20 per sprinkler head. Additionally, some areas in the City do not possess an adequate water supply to properly supply both domestic potable water and a fire suppression system. The cost to increases the water tap size per dwelling is between $3,000 and $5,000, depending on the conditions that exist on each site. Surrounding Communities At the onset of the adoption process we have endeavored to make sure that Yorkville’s building code requirements were in keeping with our neighboring communities. Oswego, Plano, Sandwich, Plainfield, Morris, and Minooka do not require the installation of fire sprinklers in single family detached homes. The following chart provides more details related to the fire suppression requirements in residential homes in nearby communities: Municipality Sprinkled Code or Ordinance Explanation Plano No 2015 IRC R313 Sprinkler Requirements Deleted Sandwich No 2006 IRC Does not contain SFR sprinkler requirements Oswego Exemptions 2009 IRC Underside of all interior stairs are protected with 5/8" gypsum board or equal Ord. 17‐20 5‐2‐2017 SFD & Duplex has at least 2 means of egress All engineered floor joist and or trusses shall be protected with at least 1/2" gypsum board or equivalent Plainfield No 2015 IRC R313 Sprinkler Requirements Deleted Naperville Exemptions 2018 IRC Underside of all interior stairs are protected with 1/2" gypsum board or equal SFD & Duplex has at least 2 means of egress Aurora IRC (Unclear Version) Minooka No 2009 IRC R313 Sprinkler Requirements Deleted Kendall County No 2012 IRC R313 Sprinkler Requirements Deleted Elgin Exemptions 2015 IRC Multiple Exemptions North Aurora 2009 IRC Kane County Amended 2012 IRC R313 Amended from shall to may Morris No 2003 IRC Does not contain SFR sprinkler requirements Sugar Grove Modified 2015 IRC Does not contain SFR sprinkler requirements Recommendation It is the recommendation of the Building and Zoning Division, in coordination with the Bristol Kendall Fire Department, that the requirement for fire sprinklers in single family homes be removed from the 2018 International Residential Code at this time. We believe that requiring the installing of fire suppression in all residential housing would increase the costs of construction beyond our community’s limits. Furthermore, we believe that the provisions provided for non- sprinklered homes within the 2018 ICC Code will increase the safety of the homes being built for the residents and first responders. 2015 IRC® Transition from the 2009 IRC® Based on the International Residential Code® (IRC®) 2015 2015 IRC Transition from the 2009 IRC Second Printing: May 2015 COPYRIGHT © 2015 by International Code Council, Inc.

Technical requirements have been removed from the definition, and accessory structures are now permitted to be unlimited in area. Alternative Materials, Design, and Methods of Construction and Equipment R104.11 When proposed alternatives are not approved, the reason for the disapproval must be stated in writing by the building official. Fences Exempt from Permit R105.2 Fences up to 7 feet high are exempt from permit requirements. Existing Buildings in Flood Hazard Areas R105.3.1.1 Determination of substantial improvement for existing buildings in flood hazard areas is the responsibility of the building official. The related provisions are now consolidated in Section R105.3.1.1. Information for Construction in Flood Hazard Areas R106.1.4 Construction documents for dwellings in Coastal A Zones shall include the elevation of the bottom of the lowest horizontal structural member. Part 2 Building Planning (Chapter 3) Climatic and Geographic Design Criteria Table R301.2(1) The jurisdiction must indicate if it contains special wind regions or wind borne debris zones. Wind Design Criteria R301.2.1 A new map indicates the geographic locations that require wind design, which means an engineered design in accordance with the IBC or ASCE 7, or a design in accordance with the applicable provisions of ICC-600, the WFCM, or AISI S230. R301.2 Ultimate design wind speed values replace basic wind speed values for 3-sec gust wind speeds in Section R301.2.2. A wind speed conversion table has been added for conversion from ultimate design to nominal design wind speeds. Sunrooms R301.2.1.1.1 The 2015 IRC requires sunrooms to comply with AAMA/NPEA/NSA 2100-12. The standard contains requirements for habitable and non-habitable sunrooms. Protection of Openings in Wind Borne Debris Regions R301.2.1.2 The mean roof height limit has been increased from 33 feet to 45 feet for the prescriptive attachment provisions for wood structural panels protecting glazing. The ASTM E 1996 standard has been modified to classify wind zones according to ultimate design wind speed. Wind Exposure Category R301.2.1.4 Wind Exposure Category A has been deleted because it no longer exists in the IBC and ASEC 7, which is the basis for determination of wind exposure categories. Wind Exposure Category D now applies to open water, mud and salt flats, and unbroken ice fields, which includes hurricane-prone regions. Page 1 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Story Height R301.3 Story height of wood and steel wall framing, insulated concrete, and SIP walls may not exceed 11ft, 7in. Masonry wall height is limited to 13ft 7in. Exterior Walls R302.1 The minimum clearances to lot lines have been reduced from 5 feet to 3 feet for unrated exterior walls when the dwelling is protected with a fire sprinkler system. The code now permits construction of unrated exterior walls on the lot line when all dwellings in the subdivision are protected with automatic fire sprinkler systems and the opposing lot maintains a minimum 6-foot clearance from the common lot line. R302.1 Unprotected roof overhangs are now permitted to project to within 2ft of the property line when fireblocking is installed between the top of the wall and the roof sheathing. In most cases, projections are not permitted less than 2ft from the property line. For dwellings with or without fire sprinkler protection, penetrations of exterior walls do not require fire-resistant protection unless they are located less than 3ft from the property line.

Fire Protection of Floors R302.13 (R501.3) With some exceptions, the code now requires 1/2- inch gypsum board or equivalent material to be applied to the underside of floor assemblies in buildings regulated by the IRC. R302.13 The provisions for fire protection of floors have been relocated from Chapter 5 to the fire-resistant construction provisions of Section R302. New language clarifies that the code does not regulate penetrations or openings in the fire protection membrane. Topic 2012 2015 Mechanical Ventilation R303 When used for satisfying the ventilation requirements for dwellings, mechanical ventilation must now comply with new provisions in Section M1507 for whole-house ventilation of habitable rooms and local exhaust of bathrooms. A whole- house mechanical ventilation system is now required for any dwelling that is tested with a blower door test and determined to have an air infiltration rate of less than 5 air changes per hour. Definitions for whole-house mechanical ventilation system and local exhaust have been added to Section R202. Ventilation Intake Openings R303.5 The minimum vertical clearance between a contaminant source and an outdoor air intake below has increased from 2 feet to 3 feet. Stairway Illumination R303.7, R303.8 Interior and exterior stairway illumination provisions have been placed in separate sections. Conflicting language has been removed to clarify the requirements. Minimum Habitable Room Area R304.1 The requirement for one habitable room with a minimum floor area of 120sf has been removed from the code. Page 4 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

The exception for allowing beams, girders, ducts or other obstructions to project to with 6ft 4in of the finished floor has been expanded to include basement with habitable space. Hazardous Locations for Glazing R308.4 The provisions for hazardous locations related to the installation of glazing have been reorganized for ease of use and consistent application. Each item in the numbered list of hazardous locations has been placed in a separate subsection and given a descriptive title. Glazing Adjacent to Doors R308.4.2 Glazing installed perpendicular to a door in a closed position and within 24in of the door only requires safety glazing if it is on the hinge side of an in- swinging door. Glazing and Wet Surfaces R308.4.5 The separate provisions regulating glazing near tubs and swimming pools have been consolidated into one subsection titled Glazing and Wet Surfaces. R308.4.5 The exception from the safety glazing requirement for glazing that is 60 in. or greater from the water’s edge of a bathtub, hot tub, spa, whirlpool, or swimming pool has been expanded to include glazing that is an equivalent distance from the edge of a shower, sauna, or steam room. Glazing Adjacent Stairs and Ramps R308.4.6 The glazing that is not considered to be in a hazardous location, the rule for the minimum height above a tread at the side of a stairway is now 36 inches to correspond to the height of a guard as previously found in the exception. Other revisions to the test clarify the meaning and application of the glazing requirements at stairways. Glazing Adjacent to the Bottom Stair Landing R308.4.7 The provisions for glazing installed near the landing at the bottom of a stairway have been revised to clarify the application. The threshold for the minimum height above the walking surface is now 36 inches for determining that the glazing is not in a hazardous location. R308.4.7 Glazing adjacent to the bottom stair landing is now defined as the area in front of the plane of the bottom tread. Garage Fire Sprinklers R309.5 In a subdivision where all homes are protected with dwelling fire sprinkler systems, nonrated exterior walls of garages are permitted to be constructed on a lot line when the garage is protected with a fire sprinkler system and meets the other conditions of Section R302.1. Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings R310 The emergency escape and rescue openings provisions have been reorganized. Separate provisions spell out the requirements for windows and doors used for emergency escape and rescue. Page 5 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Emergency Escape and Rescue Openings for Additions, Alterations and Repairs R310.5, R310.6 The basement of a dwelling addition does not require an emergency escape and rescue opening if there is access to a basement that does have an emergency escape and rescue opening. Remodeling of an existing basement does not trigger the emergency escape and rescue opening requirements unless a new bedroom is created. Stair Risers R311.7.3, R311.7.5.1 The total vertical rise in a stairway without an intermediate landing has increased from 144in to 147 in. The provision for allowing open risers has been clarified. It is based on the distance above grade or the floor below, not on the total rise of the stair. A new exception clarifies that open risers are permitted on spiral stairways. Landing for Stairways R311.7.6 For a turn in a stairway, the IRC now specifically permits angular and curved stair landing with certain dimensions less than 36 inches if the prescribed depth is provided at the walk line and minimum area criteria are satisfied. The maximum vertical rise requirement of 12 feet has been moved from the exception to a new Section R311.7.3. Spiral Stairways R311.7.10.1 The code adds a definition of spiral stairway that omits any requirement for a center post to allow for design flexibility. The code now limits the size of spiral stairways by restricting the radius at the walk line to a dimension not greater than 24 ½ ins. The method of measurement for tread depth now matches the winder provisions and measures at the intersection of the walk line and the tread nosing rather than perpendicular to the leading edge of the tread. Alternating Tread Devices and Ship Ladders R311.7.11, R311.7.12 Alternating tread devices and ship ladders have been added to the stair provisions. Neither device is approved for use as a means of egress. Ramps R311.8 Ramps that do not serve the required egress door are now permitted to have a slope not greater than 1 unit vertical in 8 units horizontal. Guard Height R312.1.2 The provision requiring that the guard height be measured from the surface of adjacent fixed seating has been removed from the code. Page 6 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

The terminology for window opening control devices has been updated for consistency with the referenced standard ASTM F 2090. Operation criteria found in the 2008 edition of the standard have been deleted from the prescriptive provisions of the IRC. R312.2 The window fall protection provisions have been revised to clarify the meaning, remove redundant language, and achieve consistency with the IBC provisions. Smoke Alarms R314 The code now specifically recognizes wireless technology in lieu of interconnection for smoke alarm installation in both new and existing dwelling units. The interconnection provisions have been moved out of the sections related to location and power source and placed in a new section. R314 Battery-operated smoke alarms are permitted for satisfying the smoke alarm power requirements when alternations, repairs, and additions occur. Household fire alarm systems no longer require monitoring by an approved supervising station. New provisions address nuisance alarms related to devices installed near bathrooms and cooking appliances. Carbon Monoxide Alarms R315 The code now specifically recognizes carbon monoxide detection systems with separate detectors and notification appliances installed in accordance with NFPA 720. R315 Carbon monoxide alarms now require connection to the house wiring system with battery backup. Exterior work such as roofing, sliding, windows, doors, and decks and porch additions no longer trigger the carbon monoxide alarm provisions for existing buildings. An attached garage is one criterion for requiring carbon monoxide alarms, but only if the garage has an opening into the dwelling. A carbon monoxide alarm is required in bedrooms when there is a fuel-fired appliance in the bedroom and adjoining bathroom. Carbon Monoxide detection systems only require detectors installed in the locations prescribed by the code and not those locations described in NFPA 720. Thermal Barrier R316.4 Reference to a new standard, NFPA 275, replaces references to previous standards for determining an acceptable thermal barrier material other than 1/2– inch gypsum wallboard. R316.4 23/32-inch wood structural panels satisfy the thermal barrier requirements for foam plastic insulation. Thermal Barrier for Floors R316.5.13 New provisions allow the installation of structural insulated panels and other materials containing foam plastic insulation as part of a floor system without requiring a thermal barrier on the upper surface. The code requires a minimum ½-inch wood structural panel or equivalent material to protect the foam plastic insulation. Flood Hazards R322.1, R322.2 Section R322.1 is modified to emphasize that the provision applies to existing buildings in flood hazard areas where 50% or more of the structure has damage and requires restoration. Section R322.2 limits the minimum elevation allowed for dwellings in flood hazard areas and defines a Coastal A Zone. Coastal High-Hazard Areas R322.3 Coastal A Zones are defined and an exception for foundation types in Coastal A Zones is added. Page 7 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs R326 The design and construction of pools and spas shall comply with the International Swimming Pool and Spa Code (ISPSC). Appendix G, Swimming Pools, Spas and Hot Tubs, has been deleted. Minimum Footing Size R403.1.1 The table for minimum footing size and thickness is divided into three expanded tables based on the type of construction being supported: light frame, light frame with veneer, and concrete or masonry. The values are also based on the type of foundations: slab on grade, crawl space, or basement. Footing and Stem Wall Reinforcing in Seismic Design Categories D₀, D₁, and D₂ R403.1.3 Updated figures sand code provisions in Section R403.1.3 now clearly define minimum required reinforcement in footings and stem walls located in Seismic Design Categories (SDC) D₀, D₁, and D₂ Foundation Anchorage R403.1.6 Anchor bolts are now required to be placed in the middle third of the sill plate. Masonry Foundation Walls in SDC D₀, D₁, and D₂ R404.1.4.1 Minimum vertical reinforcement in masonry stem walls has been increased from No. 3 bars to No. 4 bars spaced in maximum of 4ft on center in grouted cells. Isolated Masonry Piers R404.1.9 The IRC now includes prescriptive provisions for the construction of isolated masonry pier foundations supporting raised floor systems. Retaining Walls R404.4 Retaining walls, freestanding walls not supported at the top, with more than 48ins of unbalanced backfill must be designed by an engineer. Retaining walls resisting additional lateral loads and with more than 24ins of unbalanced backfill must also be designed in accordance with accepted engineering practice. Foundation Drainage R405.1 A filter membrane is now required for perforated foundation drains. Floor Joist Spans for Common Lumber Species Tables R502.3.1(1), R502.3.1(2) Changes to Southern Pine (SP), Douglas Fir-Larch (DFL), and Hemlock Fir (HF) lumber capacities have changed the floor joist span length in the prescriptive tables of the IRC. Span lengths for Southern Pine have decreased: lengths for DFL and HF joists have increased. Page 8 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

This section conflicted with Section R502.6, which contains minimum bearing lengths for all joists and headers. Decks R507 All deck provisions have been relocated to a new section. The prescriptive provisions related to the placement of bolts and lags for deck ledger attachment to the band joist have been revised to correlate with the National Design Specifications (NDS) for Wood Construction. Deck Ledger Connection to Band Joist R507.2 The deck ledger section is reorganized to better describe the minimum requirements for connection of deck ledgers to band joists. Alternative Deck Lateral Load Connection R507.2.4 When the prescriptive deck lateral load connection that has appeared in the previous editions of the code is chosen as a design option, the code now requires the two hold-down devices to be within 2 feet of the ends of the deck. A new lateral load connection option prescribes four hold-downs installed below the deck structure. Decking R507.4 The code sets the maximum allowable spacing for deck joists supporting the various types of common decking materials. Deck Joists and Beams R507.5, R507.6, R507.7 New sections and tables provide prescriptive methods for joists and beams in deck construction. Section R507.5 describes requirements for deck joists, Section R507.6 lists requirements for deck beams, and Section R507.7 describes minimum bearing requirements for joists and beams.

Fastener Schedule for Structural Members Table R602.3 (1) Table R602.3 (1) now includes requirements for nailing roof trusses to plates, abutting studs at intersecting wall corners, and connection of rim board to sill plates. Table R602.3 (1) The Fastening Schedule now contains multiple nail size options. Roof rafter connections at ridge, valley, and hip are revised. Double top plate splicing is clarified. Clarification of the joist-to-band-joist (rim board) connection is added. Stud Size, Height, and Spacing R602.3.1 Table R602.3.1 is deleted and the exception for walls greater than 10ft tall is added to the text of Section R602.3.1. If studs in a tall wall meet Exception 2, they meet the requirements of the IRC and do not need engineering or use of an alternate standard. Headers R602.7, Table R602.7.1 The code now includes prescriptive provisions for single member headers under limited conditions. R602.7, Tables R602.7(1), R602.7(2), R602.7(3), R602.7.5 The girder and header span tables of Chapter 5 have been moved to the header section in Chapter 6, Multi-ply and single header tables are combined. A new section describing rim board headers is added. Braced Wall Lines R602.10.1 The section has been reorganized to address braced wall lines only, including provisions for spacing and offsets. Braced Wall Panels R602.10.2 Information on braced wall panels has been placed in one section. Braced wall panels now may be located up to 10 feet from both ends of the braced wall line. Maximum braced wall panel spacing is 20 ft measured edge to edge. Page 10 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Wind wall bracing adjustments have been placed in a separate table from the bracing requirements based on wind speed. Table R602.10.3(1) Table values for bracing requirements based on wind speed have changed slightly due to use of ultimate design wind speed values to calculate required bracing length. Construction Methods for Braced Wall Panels R602.10.4 Bracing construction methods and the allowable mixing of bracing methods have been grouped into a single section. Braced wall lines that change from exterior to interior wall lines may now mix bracing methods along the braced wall line. Minimum Length of a Braced Wall Panel R602.10.5 Braced wall panel minimum lengths are combined in Table R602.10.5. Other braced wall panel length information also is placed in this section. Table R602.10.5 The contributing length of continuously sheathed portal frames (Method CS-PF) in low-seismic regions has increased by 50% Construction of Methods ABW, PFH, PFG, CS-PF, and BV-WSP R602.10.6 This change places all of the alternate braced wall panel methods into one section and adds a new Method BV-WSP, Wall Bracing for Dwellings with Stone and Masonry Veneer in Seismic Design Categories D 0 , D 1 , and D 2. R602.10.6.2 Due to recent testing of Method PFH (Portal Frame with Hold-downs), the minimum required capacity of the hold-downs is lowered to 3500lbs in the 2015 IRC. Additionally, the new testing confirms that two sill plates are sufficient under each braced wall panel of the portal rather than the three plates used in Method PFH for the 2012 IRC.

A fifth end condition is defined for braced wall panel connections. When a 48-inch braced wall panel is at the end of a wall line, the code does not require a return panel or hold-down at the corner. Braced Wall Panel Support R602.10.9 Concrete stem walls 48 inches long or less and that are less than 6 inches thick require reinforcement similar to narrow masonry stem walls for supporting braced wall panels. Cripple Wall Bracing R602.10.11 A reduction is no longer required in determining the maximum distance between braced wall panels in a cripple wall. References to the bracing length adjustment tables clarify that increased bracing is required if gypsum wall finish is not applied to the cripple wall. Simplified Wall Bracing R602.12 This new section offers an alternative method to braced wall lines for detached dwellings located in SDC A, B, C and townhouses in SDC A or B. The code also places limitations on wind speed, exposure category, building size and other criteria. R602.12 Simplified wall bracing is now allowed for one-to three-story dwellings and townhouse in Wind Exposure Category B or C with ultimate design wind speeds (V ult) of 130 mph or less. Structural Sheathing over Steel Framing for Stone and Masonry Veneer R603.9.5 Section R603.9.5 addressing the bracing requirements for cold-formed steel framing with stone or masonry veneer has been expanded to include the higher seismic design categories. This section directs the user to increase bracing length when a structure is located in SCD C, D₀, D₁, and D₂ and has stone or masonry veneer. Grouting Requirements for Masonry Construction R606.3.5 With reorganization of the masonry wall provisions in the 2015 IRC, the section covering provisions for grouting above-ground masonry walls now combines all the requirements for single, mulit- wythe, and reinforced masonry construction in one section. Clarified provisions address grout placement, cleanouts, and construction for all three types of masonry construction. Drilling and Notching in Structural Insulated Panels R610.7 Drilling and notching provisions for structural insulated panels (SIP) are clarified. Siding Material Thickness and Attachment R703.3 New code language clarifies limitations of use of Table R703.4 and describes fastener type, length, and penetration criteria. Table R703.4, Weather Resistant Siding Attachment and Minimum Thickness, is simplified. Page 12 Copyright © ICC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Cost estimates are aggregated in ranges of high to low based on various methods or components that might be used to comply with the code. METHODOLOGY National Construction Cost Reference houses and their site locations were initially defined in a report titled Estimated Costs of the 2015 Code Changes.2 The four reference houses were selected for their similarity to new home offerings in the six metropolitan areas selected as site locations - Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and Chicago, and their size proximity to a national average of 2,607 SF.3 Elevations and floor plans for these reference houses are provided in Appendices C through F. These single-family detached houses define the reference or base house that provides the starting point for estimation of the added cost (or savings) of each code change for the 2018 IRC relative to the 2015 IRC or IECC. Cost impacts in this analysis have been developed primarily with data adapted from the following sources: (1) RSMeans’ Residential Cost Data 2017;4 (2) ASHRAE 1481 RP5 and similar reports by Home Innovation; (3) U.S. government reporting from the Census6 and the Bureau of Labor Statistics;7 and (4) distributors’ or big box retailers’ websites. Where a source other than these is used, it is cited in Appendix A when applicable to a specific code change. Costs are reported at the national level and can be modified for a region using builders’ known bid prices or by applying a location factor adjustment shown in Appendix B. For individual code changes shown in Appendix A, costs are reported as both total to the builder and total to consumer. The total cost to builder includes overhead and profit (designated in the tables as “w/O&P”) applied to individual component costs (i.e., materials and labor) to represent the cost charged by the sub-contractor. The total cost to consumer is based on the builder’s gross margin, reported as 18.9% of construction cost in the 2016 Cost of Doing Business8. The cost summaries shown in Table 6 and Table 7 show the total cost to consumer only. 1 International Code Council, www.iccsafe.org/Pages/default.aspx 2 www.homeinnovation.com/trends_and_reports/featured_reports/estimated_costs_of_the_2015_irc_code_changes 3 Taylor, Heather. 2014.

(Table 2). Table 1. New Construction Foundation Types Slab 54% Crawlspace 17% Basement 30% Table 2. New Construction Number of Stories One-story 53% Two-story 43% Three-story 3% The Census data supports defining the four reference houses as follows to encompass approximately 85% of the last decade’s new single-family construction: • One-story on slab foundation • Two-story on slab foundation • One-story on basement foundation • Two-story on basement foundation Table 3 covers the locations where each type of reference house foundation would be pragmatically constructed. All of these selected cities, except Chicago, lie within the top ten states for construction starts in 2013.10 Chicago was selected to represent a Climate Zone 5 house. Table 3.

According to the BPS, 44% of new homes are cooled with a central air conditioner. These results influenced the selection of a gas furnace with central (electric) air conditioner as the HVAC system in each of the reference houses. Table 4.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs 4 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes RESULTS Estimated Cost of 2018 Code Compliance for Reference Houses by Location Table 6 summarizes the estimated cumulative impact of the 2018 code changes on the cost of constructing the reference houses. For the purpose of cost aggregation, it was assumed that reference houses were not built in coastal zones or subject to flooding. The aggregated costs are reported in ranges of “High” and “Low” impact based on the applicability of the changes to the features of the reference houses. These changes typically affect elements required or provided in the majority of houses constructed, or non-mandatory code provisions likely to be used by a builder. The results are grouped into four climate zone categories to accommodate the energy efficiency changes in this code edition. Table 7 summarizes the cost estimates of the code changes that do not apply to the selected reference houses and locations and are not included in the aggregated summary. These changes typically apply only in specific locations (e.g. hurricane-prone areas or flood zones), to items that would be an optional feature for most homes (e.g. decks), or to alternative methods of compliance. Those costs can be added to or subtracted from the aggregated costs in Table 6 as applicable to a particular location or a specific building.

This code change proposal revises the seismic design category map. The revised map represents an update of the previous map based on a new analysis of earthquake faults conducted by the USGS and increases to the site amplification factors for stiff soils and soft rock. For some jurisdictions located at the boundaries between the adjacent seismic design categories, the result is shifting to a higher seismic design category (see Table R-1-A). It is also noted that in some areas the change results in a downgrade of the seismic design hazard and lowering of assigned seismic design category. Table R-1-A. Summary of Changes to a Higher Seismic Design Category SDC Change Where impacted? Impact A → B Multiple locations of limited geographical area around the country in non-seismic areas. No impact on construction. B → C A few locations around the country with low-to-moderate seismicity with rural or mountainous areas in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah the primary areas impacted. Some areas in Oklahoma, New England (particularly New Hampshire) and around the New Madrid Seismic Zone are also impacted. Limited impact on townhouse construction in SDC C. B → D0 Isolated areas in rural Colorado and Utah. Substantial impact on bracing provisions. C → D0, D1, D2 Isolated areas around the country including eastern Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Utah. Substantial impact on bracing provisions. D0, D1, D2 → E Areas in California, coastal Oregon, and coastal Washington, and near Charleston South Carolina (all primarily D2 → E). Engineered design is required. Cost Implication of Code Change: The cost impact of transitioning from seismic design category C to seismic design categories D0 and D2 is evaluated for a one-story and a two-story reference home based on a structural analysis report for those two homes12. The results are summarized in Tables R-1-B through R-1-E. In addition, several structural engineering firms from different regions of the country were contacted for estimates of their engineering fees for wall bracing design. Engineering fees from the survey averaged $1,150 for an analysis, documentation, and drawings based on the reference homes ($1,367 to consumer). The cost of 12 Jay H. Crandell, P.E., Code Comparative Bracing Analysis for Two Representative House Plans, Rev.

The cost of construction is not included in this scenario. Given a broad range of design tools available to engineers, it is possible that the use of engineering design will allow for optimized solutions for the building that do not result in construction cost increases relative to generic prescriptive options. However, other engineers, particularly those not familiar with residential construction, may make conservative simplifications or assumptions, in which case an engineered design may result in additional construction cost increases. Several geotechnical engineering firms from different regions of the country were contacted for estimates of their fee to conduct a study to determine soil type and seismic design category. Engineering fees ranged from $950 to $2,200 for a soil test and report. One firm in California quoted $500 for a report without a field study based on using their map library and the seismic hazard maps published by the State of California and various cities and counties. They indicated that in some cases local jurisdictions accept this type of analysis for assigning seismic design categories. The additional cost of a geotechnical report can be offset by the savings in construction costs in the case where the report showed a downgrade in seismic design category. Table R-1-B.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-6 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes R-2 (RB160) IRC R322.3.3 Foundations, R322.3.4 (new) Summary of Code Change: For coastal high-hazard areas (Zone V) and Coastal A Zones, the code change adds new requirements for exterior concrete slabs – used for parking, floors of enclosures, landings, walkways, patios, and similar uses – that are located beneath structures, or located such that if undermined or displaced during base flood conditions the foundations could sustain structural damage. The provisions are based on ASCE 24-14 Flood Resistant Design and Construction. Slabs must either be constructed to break up under flood conditions (structurally independent, frangible, no reinforcement, no turned down edges, no more than 4 in. thick) or designed to resist flood loads, erosion, and scour. Cost Implication of Code Change: This code change is adapted from FEMA Technical Bulletin 5 (Free of Obstruction Requirements). The section of Technical Bulletin 5 that discusses frangible slabs shows two post-flood photos of a parking pad situated below an elevated building with a raised pile foundation, a common residential coastal construction practice. It recommends that the slab have contraction joints placed at 4-ft. squares to encourage failure. Reinforced slab Frangible slab Frangible Slab The first method of compliance can result in cost savings if a slab is unreinforced, is limited to a 4-in. thickness, and has the recommended control joints. The analysis is conducted on a 14 x 20 ft. parking slab. Table R-2-A shows the cost savings of this method.

Cost Implication of Code Change: For an elevated home in a Zone V or Coastal A Zone, the simplest way to comply with this new requirement is to build an open-riser stair. This extends the run of the stair as the risers can only be 4-in. high. Table R-3-A shows the cost of building a closed-riser stair.

It may be possible to construct a stair with partially-open risers that allow floodwaters to flow through and around the stair, but do not allow a 4-in. diameter sphere to pass, in which case 7.5 in. risers could be used and there would be no additional cost. The code applies to all stairways below the lowest floor elevation for homes built in V Zones and Coastal A Zones. In addition to exterior stairs leading to the front door, they can also have stairs that access an enclosed garage below the first floor. In those cases, the builder may choose to simply install a retractable stairway.

Cost Implication of the Code Change: There may be a cost savings for a stair landing serving a deck or porch or a porch floor that will now be able to use single-ply beams. There may be additional cost savings where a single-ply beam permits the use of 4x4 posts instead of 4x6 posts. The cost analysis focuses on two example scenarios. Example 1: a freestanding 5'x5' landing 4' above grade, serving an elevated deck, may now use one 2x8 beam (at both ends, for a total of 10 LF) instead of two 2x8 beams. Further, the supporting posts may now be 4x4 instead of 4x6; there are four posts, each 10' long (4' above grade, 3' below grade, and 3' above the landing to support railing). Table R-4-A shows the associated cost savings. Example 2: a freestanding 10'x12' deck 4' above grade, may now use one 2x12 beam instead of two 2x8 beams (24 LF total). Further, the supporting posts may now be 4x4 instead of 4x6; there are six posts, each 6' long (4' above grade and 2' below grade). Table R-4-B shows the associated cost savings. Table R-4-A.

The table allows footing selection based on soil bearing capacity (1500, 2000, 2500, >3000 PSF), live or ground snow loads (40, 50, 60, 70 PSF), and tributary area (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 SF). Cost Implication of the Code Change: There may be a cost savings over the American Wood Council's DCA 6 “Prescriptive residential wood deck construction guide” footing sizes, which are based on 1500 PSF soil and an interior post. DCA 6 is not mandated by code, so there may be a cost increase where jurisdictions currently allow a smaller footing (e.g., a 12" diameter sonotube). The cost analysis compares footing requirements for an example deck for two soil bearing capacities (1500 and 3000 PSF) and two live/snow loads (40 and 60 PSF). The example deck is assumed to be freestanding, 20' x 14' (280 SF), supported by six posts with tributary areas of 70 SF for the two interior posts and 35 SF for the four corner posts. Table R-5-A shows the cost to provide and place a cubic foot of concrete; the table includes the labor cost to excavate the footing by hand (it is assumed that a backhoe digs the hole to the top of the footing and this backhoe cost is constant for all footings). Table R-5-B shows the cost savings for the example deck, using a square footing for the 40 PSF design load and a round footing for the 60 PSF design load. The cost analysis also compares footing requirements for the same example deck to the case where the jurisdiction previously allowed a 12" diameter, 6" thick footer for all posts. Table R-5-C shows the cost increase for the example deck using a square footing for the 40 PSF design load and a round footing for the 60 PSF design load, both for 1500 PSF soil bearing capacity (worst case for increased costs).

The table allows selection of stud size (2x4 and 2x6) based on stud spacing (12", 16", 24"), ultimate design wind speeds (115, 130, 140 MPH), and maximum roof/floor span (12', 24'). The table is applicable where the building is located in Exposure B, the live roof load does not exceed 20 PSF, the ground snow load does not exceed 30 PSF, and studs and plates are #2 grade lumber or better. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings where standard studs can be used in lieu of “tall stud” options, such as laminated strand lumber (LSL) studs, for bearing stud walls exceeding 10’ but not exceeding 12' (e.g., walls of step-down garages, tall foyers or great rooms or portions of such rooms). Further, there may be a cost savings where engineering analysis is not required for such walls. The cost analysis focuses on an example room, 24' x 24', with walls 12' tall, attached to the side of a house (so 48 LF of bearing wall). For this analysis, labor for a wall with standard studs is assumed to be the same as a wall with LSL studs. Table R-7-A shows the cost of studs. Table R-7-B shows the cost savings of building this room using 2x4 studs instead of 2x4 LSL studs, all 12" oc. The analysis is based on 1.25 stud/LF wall to account for typical framing requirements for 12" oc construction (per RSMeans Assemblies section). Table R-7-C shows the cost savings of building the example room using 2x6 studs instead of 2x6 LSL studs, all 24 oc. The analysis is based on 0.75 stud/LF wall for 24" oc construction (per RSMeans Assemblies section).

Home Innovation Research Labs October 2017 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes A-17 R-8 (RB229) IRC R602.7.5 Supports for headers Summary of Code Change: The code change revises the table for minimum number of king studs (full height studs at each end of headers in exterior walls). The revised table adds two ultimate design wind speed and exposure categories (<140 mph Exposure B or <130 mph Exposure C; ≤115 mph Exposure B), deletes the maximum stud spacing requirements, and revises the maximum header spans (4' to 18' in 2' increments). Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings where fewer king studs are required. The cost analysis focuses on the four Reference Houses in Climate Zones 1-2 (2x4 studs) and Climate Zones 3-8 (2x6 studs). Each of the four Reference Houses have different opening widths and opening quantities. Table R-8-A shows the reduced number of king studs required based on a 115 MPH urban or dense suburban location. Table R-8-B shows the number and size of openings for the Reference Houses. The change in number of king studs for each reference house is shown for 2x4 walls in Table R-8-C and for 2x6 walls in Table R-8-D. Table R-8-E shows the installed cost per king stud for 2x4 and 2x6 construction. The associated cost savings for each Reference House by climate is summarized in Table R-8-F. Table R-8-A.

Cost Implication of Code Change: For Climate Zones 4C and 5 through 8, there may be a cost savings to omit a Class I or Class II vapor retarder where a Class III vapor retarder is applied to the interior side of frame walls. The IRC considers interior latex or enamel paint to be a Class III vapor retarder (>1 and ≤10 perms), and two coats are assumed in this analysis to meet the requirement. The cost analysis focuses on two scenarios: 1) the cost savings of not installing a Class I vapor retarder (sheet polyethylene); and 2) the cost savings of installing unfaced fiberglass batts instead of a Class II vapor retarder (Kraft-faced fiberglass batts) in wall stud cavities. Table R-9-A and Table R-9-B show the cost savings of both scenarios for an assumed wall area of 2,000 SF (similar to the Reference Houses). Table R-9-A.

Home Innovation Research Labs October 2017 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes A-21 R-10 (RB284) IR703.2 Water-resistive barrier Summary of Code Change The code change deletes the exception for detached accessory buildings to require a water-resistive barrier for all walls. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase depending on cladding type. Cladding manufacturers typically require installation in accordance with the IRC, but the 2015 IRC did not require a WRB for detached accessory buildings, so compliance represents an additional cost for claddings that require a WRB on a house, including vinyl siding and fiber cement lap siding. There is no additional cost for detached accessory buildings with face-sealed cladding. The cost analysis focuses on two common WRBs, building paper and house wrap, for two example detached accessory buildings: 1) 8' x 8' shed, 7' high; and 2) 24' x 24' garage, 8' high, with 6:12 gable roof and two 9' x 7' garage doors. Table R-10-A shows the cost impact for both example buildings using building paper for the WRB. Table R-10-B shows the cost impact for both example buildings using house wrap for the WRB.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-22 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes R-11 (RB303) IRC R703.8.4 Anchorage (masonry veneer), R703.8.4(2) (new) Summary of Code Change: The code change adds new provisions for brick tie attachment over foam sheathing, up to 2" thick, and directly to 7/16" sheathing. A new table shows minimum tie spacing (vertical/horizontal) by wind speed (110, 115, 130, and 140 mph) and Exposure Category (Exposure B, C, and D) using corrosion resistant ring shank nails (0.091" or 0.148" dia.) or screws (#6, 8, 10, or 14). The tie spacing is determined based on Zone 5 (wall edge zone) wind pressures. Cost Implication of Code Change: The code change may represent a cost increase due to 1) a more expensive fastener in all cases, and 2) the greater number of brick ties required where tighter spacing is required. The code change may also represent a labor cost savings due to not needing to locate studs through foam sheathing. For 2015, the minimum tie fastener was one corrosion resistant 8d common nail (Table R703.8.4) (0.131" dia.), and maximum tie spacing was 32" horizontally and 24" vertically with each tie supporting not more than 2.67 SF (R703.8.4.1) (typical spacing was 32"H/12"V or 16"H/24"V). The cost analysis focuses on three scenarios, all for an example 2,000 SF wall: 1. The additional cost using ring shank nails, 0.148" diameter, 3" long, for foam up to 2" thick, for an application with the same tie spacing requirements as prior (e.g., 24/16 spacing, for 115 mph wind, Zone 5, Exposure B), for a 2,000 SF wall. (Table R-11-A.) 2. The additional cost for the same scenario as above except with 16/16 spacing (e.g., 115 mph, Zone 5, Exposure C or D, or 130/140 mph, Zone 5, Exposure B). (Table R-11-C.) 3. The potential labor cost savings, estimated at 25%, to not locate the studs through the foam, for both spacing scenarios above. (Table R-11-B and Table R-11-D.) Table R-11-A.

Where no labor savings accrue, high cost is $325 and low cost is $26. Where labor savings always accrue, high cost is $176 ($325-$149) and low cost is -$73 ($26-$99). The maximum range is $325 high cost for greatest number of additional ties and nails but no labor savings assumed, and -$73 if only nail size changes and full labor savings are assumed. The tables are: optional in CZ1 and CZ2 as continuous insulation is not required; optional in CZ3 through CZ5 for 2x6 walls as continuous insulation is not required but required for 2x4 walls where R-5 continuous insulation is required; required for CZ6 through CZ8 where either R-5 or R-10 continuous insulation is required.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-24 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes R-12 (RB327) IRC R806.5 Unvented attic and unvented enclosed rafter assemblies. Summary of Code Change: The code change adds a new option for insulating an unvented attic using air-permeable insulation installed just below the roof deck (e.g., blown fiberglass in netting hung from the roof trusses/rafters, referred to as netted/blown) if vapor diffusion ports (i.e. a ridge vent covered with a vapor permeable membrane such as a strip of house wrap or vapor permeable roofing underlayment) are installed (≥ 1:600 ratio of vapor diffusion port area to ceiling area, vapor permeance rating of membrane ≥ 20 perms) and minimum air flow from the HVAC system is provided (≥ 50 CFM per 1,000 square feet of ceiling area). The code change is limited to Climate Zones 1, 2, and 3 and roof slopes ≥ 3:12. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost savings compared to unvented attics insulated using spray foam, a flash-and-batt method (thinner layer of spray foam applied at the interior side of the roof deck and covered with fiberglass batt insulation, referred to as flash/batt), or foam sheathing above the roof deck and fiberglass batts below. The cost analysis focuses on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in Climate Zone 2 or 3 (R-38 insulation prescriptively required). Table R-12-A shows the cost impact for Reference House 1, with an unvented attic, by comparing netted/blown fiberglass insulation, with vapor diffusion ports and HVAC supply branch, to closed-cell spray foam at the roof deck. Table R-12-B compares netted/blown fiberglass to a flash/batt approach for Reference House 1. Table R-12-C and Table R-12-D make the same comparisons for Reference House 2. For all tables, a component marked with an asterisk (*) indicates cost data is based on internet pricing (for vapor permeable roof membrane, membrane tape, and counter-flash tape over membrane tape) or estimated based on pricing provided by the product manufacturer (for netted/blown fiberglass).

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-26 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes E-1 (RE31) IECC Table R402.1.2 Insulation and fenestration requirements by component (IRC Table N1102.1.2), IECC Table R402.1.4 (IRC Table N1101.1.4) Summary of Code Change: The code change decreases the maximum window U-factor requirement in Climate Zones 3-8. For Climate Zones 3 and 4 except 4C, the maximum window U-factor decreases from 0.35 to 0.32. For Climate Zones 4C and 5-8, the maximum window U-factor decreases from 0.32 to 0.30. The maximum window U-factor did not change for Climate Zones 1 and 2, and SHGC values did not change for any climate zone. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase to comply with the code change depending on the window manufacturer and model. Some data (see below) indicates a cost increase to comply with the code change. The cost analysis is investigated using cost data collected from the U.S. Department of Energy13. Based on this data, an incremental cost of $0.18/SF window area is used for both sets of U-value improvements. Table E-1-A shows the estimated cost increases for the four Reference Houses (window areas are defined in Table 5). The Department of Energy and EPA Energy Star along with those involved in the development of energy codes have traditionally had problems developing a clear incremental cost for changes in window thermal performance.

The code change provides the criteria to explicitly allow ducts buried, or partially buried, within ceiling insulation in vented attics (“buried ducts”) as an option in lieu of suspending them from the roof framing. The sum of the insulation above and below the duct is at least R-19 total, excluding the duct R-value; minimum required duct insulation is R-8 except in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A where the minimum required supply duct insulation is R-13. Additionally, the code change allows buried ducts to be modeled using an effective duct insulation value of R-25 where certain criteria are met: the duct is located directly on the ceiling or within 5.5 in. of the ceiling; the duct is surrounded with ceiling insulation of at least R-30; the duct is covered on top with at least 3.5 in. of ceiling insulation (approximately R-11 assuming a minimum R-value of R-3.2 per in.). Cost Implication of Code Change: Compared to conventional attic ducts, there may be a cost increase to install buried ducts (where R-13 supply ducts are required, and where additional ceiling insulation above the ducts is required), and concurrently there may be a cost savings to install buried ducts (labor and material savings for shorter duct runs installed at the ceiling plane instead of high in the attic). The analysis does not include a potential reduced cost associated with installing a lower capacity HVAC system. The cost analysis will focus on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. Reference Houses 1 and 2 were selected because those have ducts and air handlers in the attic (Reference Houses 3 and 4 have ducts and air handlers in the basement). The area of supply ducts is assumed to be 23% of conditioned floor area, and the area of return ducts is assumed to be 7% of conditioned floor area. These values are consistent with ACCA and ASHRAE standards. For the two-story house, 60% of the duct area is assumed to be in the attic (the second floor represents approximately 60% of the floor area of the house). For the one-story house, 100% of the duct area is assumed to be in the attic. In Climate Zones 1A-3A, R-13 duct insulation is required for supply ducts that are buried or partially buried. For this component, the cost analysis is based on R-5 (installed R-value, 2" thick) foil-faced duct wrap installed over R-8 supply ducts. (Ducts installed in attics are most commonly R-8 insulated flexible ducts; R-13 flexible ducts are not commercially available yet; R-13 duct wrap (foil-faced, non-perforated) installed over rectangular metal duct or un-insulated flexible duct is a viable approach but such duct construction is not as common for ducts in attics). Table E-2-A shows the cost impact to install buried ducts for Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. For this prescriptive path, it is assumed that no additional ceiling insulation is required. Labor and material savings is estimated at 15%.

The code change provides the criteria to explicitly allow ducts buried, or partially buried, within ceiling insulation in vented attics (“buried ducts”). The sum of the insulation above and below the duct is at least R-19 total; minimum required duct insulation is R-8 except in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A where the minimum required supply duct insulation is R-13. Additionally, the code change provides the criteria to allow buried ducts to be modeled as being located inside conditioned space: the air handler is located inside conditioned space (not the attic); duct leakage is within prescribed limits (1.5 CFM25/100SFcfa, measured either by a rough-in stage test or post- construction stage total-system-leakage-to-outdoors test); the R-value of insulation above the duct is at least the proposed ceiling insulation R-value, used in the model, less the R-value of the duct insulation. Cost Implication of Code Change: There may be a cost increase to install buried ducts based on the additional criteria. There may be a net cost savings where buried ducts are installed in lieu of building an unvented attic or installing ducts inside conditioned space (i.e., below the ceiling plane within framed bulkheads). The cost analysis for the prescriptive component of this change is provided in section E-2. The cost analysis for the performance component of this change will focus on Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones (same as prescriptive component). The analysis does not include a potential reduced cost associated with installing a lower capacity HVAC system or a potential cost increase associated with a higher level of duct sealing. The analysis does include the cost to build a mechanical closet to house the air handler that is no longer in the attic; credit is taken for omitting pull-down stairs for attic access. The analysis also includes the additional ceiling insulation required above the ducts: minimum R-25 in Climate Zones 1A, 2A, and 3A (R-38 ceiling insulation less R-13 ducts; it is understood that this could be reduced in Climate Zone 1 that requires minimum R-30 ceiling insulation, but this was not calculated separately); minimum R-41 in Climate Zones 4-8 (R-49 ceiling insulation less R-8 ducts). Table E-3-A shows the cost impact to install buried ducts in accordance with the performance criteria for Reference Houses 1 and 2 in all climate zones. Note Climate Zones 2B and 3B are unique compared to Climate Zones 2A and 3A because R-13 supply ducts are not required.

The minimum HRV/ERV efficacy is the same as required by ENERGY STAR Canada. Prior to the change, an HRV/ERV was generally classified as an in-line fan (minimum fan efficacy 2.8 CFM/Watt), so in effect the code change relaxed the minimum fan efficacy requirement for an HRV/ERV. Cost Implication of Code Change: Many HRV/ERV models already meet the new requirement, so no cost change is expected in many cases. The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) publishes HRV/ERV performance and energy data14. A review of this database shows there is a wide selection of models that meet or exceed 1.2 CFM/Watt. Manufacturer product data is also available on manufacturer web sites. The fan efficacy is not a published number and may need to be interpolated based on product data. Further, different data points may provide different fan efficacy ratios. There may be a cost decrease in cases where a builder substitutes an HRV/ERV with a lower fan efficacy (less than 2.8 CFM/Watt but still greater than 1.2 CFM/Watt) as shown in Table E-4-A (note: the models shown are the lowest capacities for each model that meet the 2.8 or 1.2 CFM/Watt efficacy requirements).

It also adds a backstop for houses complying with the ERI using on-site generation, so houses must still meet mandatory requirements and minimum insulation and fenestration requirements. Cost Implication of Code Change: The revised ERI target values correspond to a house that on average is about 5-15% more efficient compared to a house designed using the prescriptive path (using the ERI Index scale). The 2015 ERI target values correspond to a house that on average is about 10-20% more efficient. Therefore, this code change is expected to decrease costs for builders who are using the optional ERI path for code compliance. This report does not identify individual measures or quantify their cost savings. A general discussion is offered below for context. In a separate study15, Home Innovation reported the predicted HERS indices for over 300 typical house configurations simulated to meet the 2015 IECC minimum requirements and then simulated with high efficiency heating and cooling equipment. The summary of results for an average sized house (2,352 SF not including basement) is shown in Table E-5-A. The results of the study indicate that the 2018 ERI targets can be achieved in large part by upgrading the efficiency of the heating and cooling equipment in combination with using an enclosure that meets the prescriptive code requirements. Therefore, this code change enables builders to rely on practical energy efficient construction practices to achieve code compliance. Table E-5-A.

October 2017 Home Innovation Research Labs A-34 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes E-6 (RE127) IECC Section R404.1 Lighting Equipment (IRC Section N1104.1) Summary of Code Change: The code change increases the percent of permanently installed lighting fixtures that must contain high- efficacy lamps from 75% to 90%. Cost Implication of Code Change: The revised percent of fixtures that must contain high efficacy lamps will result in a slight cost increase. Incandescent and halogen bulbs will generally not meet the efficacy requirements in the IECC to qualify as a “high-efficacy lamp” (60 lumens per watt for greater than 40 watts) and, by definition, all CFL and LED lamps would be classified as high-efficacy. Based on surveys of big box retailers, the average cost of an incandescent 60-watt lamp is $0.97, the average cost of a 60-watt equivalent CFL lamp (13 -watt, 800 lumens) is $2.20, and the average cost of a 60-Watt equivalent LED lamp (10-Watt, 800 lumens) is $1.97. Assuming the average home requires 40 lamps for the permanently installed fixtures, this would require a net increase of 6 high-efficacy lamps per house. The resultant cost increase is shown in Table E-6-A. Table E-6-A.

Home Innovation Research Labs October 2017 Estimated Costs of the 2018 IRC Code Changes A-35 M-1 (RM36) IRC M1601.4.1 Joints, seams and connections (ducts). Summary of Code Change: The code change eliminates the requirement for sealing longitudinal seams of snap-lock and button-lock types of HVAC ducts located inside of conditioned space. Cost Implication of Code Change: The code change represents a cost savings where metal ducts with longitudinal seams are installed inside conditioned space. The cost analysis focuses on cost savings per linear foot of metal duct inside conditioned space for the reference houses. Consistent with the 2012 IRC cost study, the reference houses are assumed to have a main trunk serving each story. Ducts are assumed to be metal snap-lock when located within the first and second floor framing and insulated flexible duct in attics. Rectangular metal ducts are assumed to have two longitudinal seams, and round metal ducts are assumed to have one longitudinal seam. All ducts for Reference House 1 are assumed to be in the attic so there is no cost savings. For Reference House 2, 40% of the ducts are assumed to be inside conditioned space (the first floor is approximately 40% of the total floor area of this house). For Reference Houses 3 and 4, all ducts are inside conditioned space. Table M-1-A shows the estimated cost of sealing metal ducts using duct mastic applied with a brush. The material and labor costs are based on product manufacturer data for typical applications (125 linear feet per gallon of mastic; one-hour labor per gallon), internet pricing (for material cost), and RSMeans (for labor cost). Table M-2-B shows the cost savings to not install duct mastic on longitudinal seams of ducts inside conditioned space for the reference houses. Table M-1-A. Estimated cost to seal ducts ($/LF).
