Just curious as to how many of you have a locally-devised building code 'board of appeals' or similar administrative assemblage which is given authority beyond that which is contained in the model code? Ours, for instance, allows the commission to issue 'variances' without limitation. Theoretically, this would allow the commission to open the window of the board room and toss the code library out the window and permit whatever design (including multiple code violations) fits their capricious whim that particular day.
For those of you that have such an arrangement: Any horror stories?
