Thanks Kapoho Cat,
I forgot about the continous concrete exterior walls! (With appropriate ventilation and access, of course.)
Anything over 30" above grade needs a (minimum) 36" high railing around it that a 4" sphere can't fit through. At one time it was a 6" sphere, it seems to be getting smaller all the time.
The '97 codebook is a set of two books, much bigger than the "old" UBC. It would be nice if they would highlight the differences from the previous version, but oh well! Honolulu has been using the '97 codes for quite some time, so if you have a set of "Honolulu" UBC code books, that should be the same.
