Fire Code Board of Appeals and dead-end road standards
Summary
Rural property owners say the state's dead-end road standards can render their land unbuildable with no path to relief. The Board re-established the appeals board as final decisionmaker but promised a survey of other counties and better upfront guidance within six months.

Impact analysis
No direct cost named, but dead-end road rulings can wipe out property values and insurance access for rural landowners.
Property owners on long dead-end roads get a formal appeals process and, hopefully, clearer upfront rules.
Peschong and Moreno argued owners lose an elected appeals path; neighbors near dead-end roads may face more development risk.
