Tabor board adopts 2021 IBC provision for storage-container conversions
Summary
The Tabor Board of Trustees voted Oct. 6 to adopt a 2021 International Building Code provision (3115) and a 2021 maintenance property code to govern converting storage containers into living quarters; the change follows a request from residents seeking resources for such conversions.
The Tabor Board of Trustees voted on Oct. 6 to adopt IBC 2021 code language (code 3115) for converting storage containers into habitable living quarters and to adopt an updated 2021 maintenance property code. The change was recorded after a lawyer at the meeting recommended adoption and a motion by Ken Carda, seconded by Brian Neumayer, was recorded as carried.
The action follows a public delegation earlier in the meeting in which Nicole and Jozie Einrem requested more resources and details about converting a storage container into living space; the board said conversions must meet IBC requirements, connect to the town sewer (not a parent's line), have a foundation and obtain a building permit. The meeting record notes the board adopted the code language at the recommendation of the meeting's lawyer and that the motion carried on the floor. The board also left the sewer project discussion as a separate, unresolved item to be addressed later.
