Board holds over building-code changes in petition 26-PC-124 until September
Summary
Lee County planning commission’s petition to amend Title 9 — updating the Illinois Energy Conservation Code, exempting certain like-for-like repairs from permits, and replacing a code reference — was presented and held over to the September meeting for more review.
Alice, speaking for the planning commission, presented petition 26-PC-124 — filed by Lee County building official Joe Bay — seeking targeted amendments to Title 9 of the county code. She said the petition would "exempt from a permit requirement sighting window door window and door replacement and roofing without change to pitch or slope" and update the Illinois Energy Conservation Code from 2021 to 2024 pursuant to a recent state statute change. She also said the petition would replace a current code reference with the International Code Council.
A public hearing on Aug. 3 drew one in-person attendee; Ben Forester moved to recommend approval to the county board. During the board meeting Mr. Kitson moved, and Mr. Fel seconded, a motion to hold petition 26-PC-124 over to the September meeting for additional review. The motion carried on a voice vote. Joe Bay was present and available to answer members’ questions.
