SECTION 158:85-13-2. Code variance applications and fee

(a)   Applications for a variance from the adopted references in OAC 158:85-1-4 by an Oklahoma-registered roofing contractor, or other person as stated in statute, shall be submitted to the Administrator. An application form and the fifty-dollar ($50.00) filing fee shall accompany sufficient technical data submitted to support the proposed variance. Applications submitted after the use of materials or methods of construction not in conformance with the standard of installation as described in 158:85-1-4, or submitted where a city or town has adopted a more stringent roofing installation code by ordinance, shall not be considered by the Variance and Appeals Board.

(b)   The applicant and the Administrator, or the Administrator's designee, may offer testimony to the Variance and Appeals Board which is relevant to the code variance requested. If testimony will be offered to support the application, the applicant shall include in the application the identity of the applicant's witnesses by name, profession or occupation, address and telephone number, and a concise summary of the expected testimony of each witness. If the Administrator, or the Administrator's designee, contests the application, and will offer testimony to rebut the application, the Administrator, or the Administrator's designee, will provide the applicant with the identity of the Administrator's, or the Administrator's designee's witnesses by name, profession or occupation, address and telephone number, and a concise summary of the expected testimony of each witness.
