PART I. NEW CHAPTERS <br /> SECTION 2. The Hawaii County Code 1983 (2016 Edition, as amended) is amended <br /> by adding a new chapter 5 that shall read as follows: <br /> "CHAPTER 5. CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATIVE CODE. <br /> Article 1. General Provisions. <br /> Section 5-1-1. Title. <br /> This chapter shall be known as the "construction administrative code." <br /> Section 5-1-2. Purpose. <br /> This chapter consolidates the administrative provisions relating to the County's <br /> construction code, including chapters 5A, the building code; 5D, the electrical code; 5E, the <br /> energy conservation code; and 5F, the plumbing code into one chapter. These administrative <br /> provisions relate to: permitting; enforcement; inspections; and related procedures. This <br /> consolidation will enable the County to develop a system based on a single permit, rather <br /> than multiple construction permits and generally promote consistency in procedures across <br /> construction disciplines. The purpose of these policy changes is to enable the County to <br /> implement its responsibilities in this area with greater efficiency and effectiveness. <br /> Section 5-1-3. Scope; exceptions. <br /> The provisions of this chapter shall apply to the administrative,permitting, <br /> enforcement, inspection, and related procedures of chapters: 5A, the building code; 5D, the <br /> electrical code; 5E, the energy conservation code; and 5F,the plumbing code. <br /> This chapter shall apply to all building, electrical, and plumbing work related to the <br /> construction, alteration, movement, addition, replacement, repair, establishment of and <br /> changes in use and occupancy, location, maintenance, removal and demolition of every <br /> building or structure or any appurtenances connected or attached to such buildings or <br /> structures within the County inland of the shoreline high-water line. <br /> This chapter shall not apply to: <br /> (1) Work on buildings or premises owned by or under the direct control of the <br /> Federal government; <br /> (2) Work in public State or County road right-of-ways for utility installations, street <br /> lighting, traffic signals,police and fire alarms, bridges,poles, hydraulic flood <br /> control structures, and mechanical equipment not specifically regulated in this <br /> code where installed: <br /> 10 <br />
