9.26.5.1.(2)

Intent

Intent 1:

To exempt constructions from the application of Sentence 9.26.5.1.(1), which would otherwise require eave protection, where:

  • the probability of ice-dam formation is low,
  • the vulnerable area is beyond the point likely to be reached by ponded water,
  • asphalt shingles are installed in a manner that reduces the roof's vulnerability to ice-dam-related leakage, or
  • the roof slope is sufficiently steep to facilitate speedy drainage and minimize the likelihood of ponding.
