CI~ OF SAN _RNARDQO - REQUQr FOR COUNCIL ACCtoN
STAFF REPORT
PROBLEM:
Use of a non-I.C.B.O. certified material as roof covering. A Notice of Correction
was issued pursuant to Municipal Code (Uniform Building Code). A Certificate of
Occupancy cannot be issued with an outstanding Notice of Correction.
FINDINGS:
The glazed tile used on part of the roof at 111 E. Hospitality Lane does not have
I.C.B.O. approval as required by Section 6001 of the Uniform Building Code adopte~
by City Ordinance. The building inspector requested the I.C.B.O number after Vi~lt-
ing the site and looking at tile. The contractor was unable to provide the requlred
number. The Notice of Correction was then issued.
The owner then came to the Common Council for relief of the notice. There was not a
hearing before the Board of Building Commissioners. The Council requested additional
information and the item was carried over to August 18. At the meeting of the 18th
additional information was requested although the City Attorney was directed to com-
plete an agreement allowing for the deferral of enforcement for a period of 12 months.
On August 20, two inspectors and the Superintendent of Building and Safety were on
site. The following conditions were set forth:
1. The contractor will provide information on the mortar mix.
2. All steel rods will be secured to the satisfaction of the building inspector
prior to installation of the ornamental pieces.
3. All ornamental pieces will be installed by filling with mortar and placing over
steel rods for securi ng.
At Council's request, we have contacted owner/occupants in other cities in the state
where tile.has been in place from two to ten years. No one indicated any problem
or leaks wlth material. Contacts with city Building Departments indicated an unaware-
ness of the absence of I.C.B.O. certification.
AL TERNATIVES:
1. Uphold the findings of the Building and Safety Department unti,l an acceptable
material is used.
2. A~thor~ ze ~or. to enter into agreement wi th owner, prepared by ci ty Attorney,
dlrectlng BUlldlng and Safety to allow occupancy of project provided all require-
ments except roof are met.
3. Continue the matter to next meeting.

OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this project is to determine if the roof tiles
comply with ICBO's requirements for strength and water
absorption.
SAMPLE DESCRIPTION
On July 25, 1986 a representative of Twining Laboratories visited
the warehouse of Shing Fa Ceramics in Carson, California and
selected four styles of glazed roof tiles for testing: Oriental,
S-Type, Chinese, and Accessory. Please see the attached
photographs.

STRENGTH TEST - ICBO SECTION B.2
Procedure
The Chinese and Oriental tiles are supported on pie~es of wooden
2 x 4's placed under each end of the tile. The longitudinal axes
of the supports are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the
tile. The aupport span is 10" for the Chinese tile and 9-1/4"
inches for the Oriental tiles. A vertical load is applied to the
tile through another 2 x 4 placed across the lips of the tile
midway between the supports. Felt is not used between the 2 x
4's and the tile.
The S-Type tiles have a rise to width ration of 1:3.5 and are
tested as Spanish tiles on knife edges spaced 12" apari. The
load is applied through a knife edge loader.
