This authority can only be asswt~d folla•ring the adoption of Appendix D of Volume 11 (Plunking) of the North Carolina State Building Gode. Initial work to prepare an orcinance adopting Appendix D revealed that the County's ordinance adopting building and electrical cones in 1974 was in need of uplating. Further investigation indicated that a separate ordinance esistec regardinc the licensing of insulation contractors and the installation of energy u~iliaation equipment. Orange County is mandated to provide inspection services under G.S. 153A 351 in that counties vrith a 1970 Census population betv~en 50,OOp and 75,000 were re~.:ired to perform such duties as of July 1, 1981. The proposed ordinance would apply within the unincorporated portions of Orange County outside any nunicipality's building regulation jurisdiction. It would apply, however, within a municipality's jurisdiction v.~ere that manic- ' ir~ality had requevted and/or contracted vrith the County to enforce the building code. Certain types of activities are exempt from the provisions o£ the Ordinance including farm buildings located outside a municipality's jurisdiction. The rroposed amendrents incorporate the Energy Conservation Stancarc~s adopted in 1978 into the Building Ordinance and restructure the Oranance to include ^rovisions for the issuance of peermits and inspection of __... structures, procedures for the re.^ioval of unsafe buildings, adoption of regulatory codes anc the adoption o Ar^pencix D of the N.C. Plumbing Code. (see permanent agenc:a file for this proposed Ordinance).
