Clifford Martin Mr. Clifford G. Martin, 2405 Hillview Dr., appeared before Council in
opposition of adopting the 2003 International Mechanical Code. He
stated that the code allowed contractors to erect vent lines for
clothes dryers to the roof of a structure. He added that this was a
fire hazard because the angle of the vent line from the dryer to the
roof provided for the excess accumulation of lint, and the roof
vents were hooded which not only prevented rain from entering the
vent but also impeded the lint from exiting the vent line.
Mr. Al Godwin, representing the Development Department, stated
that the Mechanical Code placed a length limit of 25 feet for dryer
vents and no prohibition of the vents being placed on roofs. He
added that both the Residential and Mechanical Codes would have
to be amended to add the prohibition and that the amendments
could be done at a future Council meeting.
