RE: Ordinance to Adopt Ohio Residential Code
Date: February 20, 2001
I recommend the adoption of a new residential building code for the City of Dublin, known as "The Ohio
Residential Code for One, Two and Three Family Dwellings". This code has been developed in the
following manner:
The base document is known as the "International One and Two Family Dwelling Code". The code was
developed on a national basis, in a forum that was open to public input. This means anyone could submit
a proposal for code language, and anyone could debate the merits of the proposal at open hearings. The
base document was altered for use in Ohio through an open hearing process, sponsored by the Ohio
Building Officials Association (OBOA). OBOA has now published the Code in a format that is suitable
for adoption by local jurisdictions. The State of Ohio has designated this Code as "Ohio's Model
Dwelling House Code", thus encouraging this Code to be adopted by jurisdictions throughout the State,
~ to promote uniformity and standardization.
The City of Dublin will benefit from the adoption of this Code in the following ways:
1. The current Code is a 1995 Edition. Technology and construction practices have changed. This
adaptation allows our regulations to reflect this changing technology.
2. The Code has been developed through the knowledge and debate of many experts throughout the
country and this state. The community benefits from that expertise by adopting this document.
3. The Code is recognized as a means to provide safe, sanitary housing to the public, but because it is
so widely accepted, it allows business people, developers, contractors and designers to be familiar
with the requirements of the Code and function more efficiently from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
That is good for business.

4. The Insurance Service Organization (ISO) rates the City Building Standards Division, in much
the same way the fire department is rated. One of the most significant factors in the evaluation
is whether or not the City has adopted and is enforcing the most current building codes. It is
necessary to adopt a more current Code than the one we are currently enforcing to maintain our
above average rating. Good ratings from ISO reflect lower insurance costs to our citizens.
I've provided detailed background concerning the preparation of this Code because I have read
the Minutes from the past proceedings where a Building Code was presented for adoption.
During that discussion the issue of Stairway dimensions was raised. Councilman McCash, in
particular, expressed a desire to set a standard for steps to be not more than 7-3/4 inches high
(known as the rise) and for the flat portion (known as the tread) to be a minimum of 10 inches
wide. These dimensions were the dimensions contained in the "International Code" base
document. When the Code was altered to be consistent with the practices common in Ohio the
stair dimensions were changed to a maximum of 8-1/4 inch rise and a minimum 9 inch tread
depth. These dimensions have been the standard throughout the State (and most of the country)
for a long period of time. The second stair geometry results in a steeper set of steps, and some
argue that is not as safe, thus it is appropriate to change the dimensions.
Initially this matter of inches or fraction of inches might not seem like much of a concern.
However, there is a significant cost factor associated the change. Over the length of the entire
stairway the sum of the additional inches will add about two feet to the length of the stairway.
The top and bottom of most stairways are constrained by walls (Such as hallways, exterior walls,
and the like.) in addition, the headroom for the stairway must be maintained so the portion of the
floor over the stairway must also be changed. Introducing this change means most of the existing
construction plans in use today that involve stairs would have to be redesigned. That is a
significant cost. Those opposing the change to stairway dimensions argue that the if there is any
safety gained it is not worth this significant cost.
In this State the consensus opinion has been to stay with the steeper stairs as the MINIMUM
Standard. If individuals want less steep stairways, they can make that choice. However, since
the Building Code sets a MINIMUM standard, the standard should be maintained as it has for
many years. The State Code has the steeper stairway dimensions as the standard for steps inside
a dwelling unit that is part of a multiple family dwelling. The State has also recognized this Code
as a "Model" for adoption throughout the State.
Finally, the BIA and National Association of Homebuilders recommend the adoption of this
Code with the stairway dimensions as proposed in the Code. For the sake of uniformity I also
recommend the adoption of the Ohio Residential Code maintaining the stairway dimensions
contained in the Code.

Re: Proposed Stair Geometry
Dear Council Members,
I am writing in regard to the proposed changes to the stair geometry requirements in the C'~t~
of Dublin.
1 am a registered architect whose business, Cabral & Taylor Architects, specializes in the clr •
sign of custom, single family homes. We regularly design high-end homes with a stair trr.~el
' of9" and a riser height of 7-1/2" to 7-3/4". Our firm has designed over 70 homes in New
Albany, six in Tartan Fields, 8 in Wedgewood, several in Campden Lakes and many in otlirr
locations. We have also designed multi-family units in Dublin. I have never had a client.
potential buyer, builder or building official object to a 9 inch tread. With the nosing, the
tread measures out to be 10".
The design of a successful home depends on many factors, An important factor is the stair
gcometry. Having the flexibility to have 9" treads or l0" or 11" is crucial to making a home
r.r. work from the point of view of livability, structure, function and square footage. An addi-
tional one inch in tread length can add several hundred square feet to the size of a house anal
render it too large or too expensive to build or simply unworkable in the design of the plan.
I am asking you to consider not passing this stair geometry. [know, for a fact, it would ser~-
ously impede the design on many new homes as well as render obsolete some existing de-
signs.

Dear Acting Chief Building Offical Moran,
As Chairman of the BIA of Central Ohio Legislative and Codes Committee, I am
writing this letter to encourage you to adopt the 1999 Ohio Residential Code
for One, Two and Three Family Dwellings. As an organization we have
participated in, and support the efforts of the Ohio Building Officials
Association creating this code based upon the 1998 International One ~ Two
Family Dwelling Code.
The 1999 Ohio Residential Code for One, Two and Three Family Dwellings
incorporates regional modifications as passed through the public hearing
process. The benefit to your community is to minimize constituent frustration
and unnecessary regulatory costs. The benefit to builders and remodelers is
regulatory clarity and consistency that will ease compliance, encourage
enforcement and reduce constituent phone calls.
The 1999 Ohio Residential Code for One, Two and Three Family Dwellings
is currently supported by Ohio Building Officials Association and Ohio Home
Builders Association. We in Central Ohio, support the actions of these statewide
organizations as do the Central Ohio Code Officials Organization and the
American Institute of Architects Columbus Chapter.
Please help us to achieve a consistent code in Central Ohio. We would
appreciate notification when you are considering the adoption of a new building
code. Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully,
